I haven't been using Bluesky as much lately (I installed an app that makes me watch a 30 second ad whenever I'm about to doomscroll) but I want to promote my friends' Kickstarter. I've been lucky enough to play versions of this game, and I can tell you that it's a lot of fun even when you lose.

A few of my favourites: - A middle-aged woman who runs a laundromat does her taxes. - A corrupt politician attempts to destroy the Los Angeles transit system. - Some guys go on an adventure to look at a black rectangle.

A friend of mine for 10+ years has been having some financial difficulties. She's unfailingly friendly and a better artist than she gives herself credit for, so it’s dismaying to learn that she’s struggling and I figured I should do what I can to help her out.

Theory I saw on Reddit: The reason everyone in Star Trek os obsessed with media from the 20th century and earlier is because everything after that was AI slop.

Me seeing this on the shelf: "Das wood." Me picking it up and realizing it's clay: "Das not wood!"

I contributed to a few pages in this month's Vancouver Comic Jam:

As Spock said to Frodo, "May the 4th be with you":

film you've watched more than six times with a gif. hard mode: no star wars, star trek, lotr, dc, marvel, disney, pixar, spielberg, cameron, wachowskis, or ghibli.

"I've consulted the great ORACLE OF DELPHI, and they told me that, if I go to war, a whole civilization will die tonight! We can't lose! Thank you for your attention to this matter."

I tend to like very dramatic classical music. This particularly dramatic piece has been in my everyday playlist lately: m.youtube.com/watch?v=rHsM...

Here's an experimental short I made some years ago. There are two gimmicks: (1) I traced over the walk cycle and background over and over again, with errors accumulating with each iteration (2) Similarly, I traced over the audio spectrogram of the soundtrack. www.youtube.com/watch?v=rCle...

My friend Moses just reached 1500 followers and was kind enough to add me to their starter pack, so it's only fair that I share this post in case you want to follow Moses or any of the artists in the pack:

Artist! Quote with your most detailed art! I think I'm going to go with this "comic" from 2019 which was too big to fit on Facebook, which was where I normally posted my comics at the time. imgur.com/ishmael-comi...

Some of my sketches from Wednedsay's @cloudscapecomics.com comic creator meetup.

Holy shit. I have to start being more rigorous about what I post.

Some pages from my current sketchbook:

Gingerbread House: $10.95 Pre-Built Gingerbread House: $16.99 So apparently it costs $6.04 for labour to build a gingerbread house.

There are no great auteurs in film anymo-- www.youtube.com/watch?v=o0DG...

A store in New Westminster. My idea for a slogan: Have YOU "Bought-Any" Cannabis today?

I designed and painted the imagery on this bowl on the Thanksgiving weekend, and it was recently fired and sent to me. It took two days to finish - next year I'm doing a simpler design. (The bowl itself was made by my mom.)

You don’t get to name your kid X Æ A-12 and then say “or whatever his name is” about anyone else.

Some spooky art I made at a Hallowe'en party. (1) The craft supplies included some googly eyes, so I incorporated them into a painting. (2) The dragon model (right) was painted by my friend Chris; I made the painting (left) of the model.

Remember kids, you're more likely to be killed by a car on Hallowe'en than by poisoned candy. So just to be safe, make sure to eat lots of poisoned candy. I'm pretty sure that's how statistics work.

Got the urge to work on a project I’ve been ignoring for several months, but I’m out running errands. All good though, I’m sure I’ll feel the same when I get home

The whole 4-part series is one of my favourite things on the internet. Just wait 'til part 4 -- it's the second-most an electrical cable has caused me to cry.

If they ever make a spreadable cheese based on clarified butter, they should call it "Ghee Whiz".

A joke I made 11 years ago today: There's a horror movie coming out called "Ouija". It's rated Puija-13.

just thinking about the first time i met Dr. Goodall. I was at the Dallas Zoo and ran into her out of the blue. I told her I was a huge fan and I'll never forget her response: "I am not Jane Goodall. I'm not even a woman. Please stop shaking my hand." that's just how Jane was, incredibly humble.

The bad news is, AI nostalgia slop is all the rage. The good news is, it's given me an excuse to promote my 2022 animated short film with a very similar theme. vimeo.com/758028797

I've posted this before (on Facebook) and I'll post it again. From the YouTube comments: "This is the final boss for people who say that they can listen to all music" www.youtube.com/watch?v=-gPu...

Need to let the world know that due to my wife drip-feeding me the news, sagely advising me not to seek out video, and calling him "that right wing Kirk guy," for a full four hours yesterday I thought this was all about Kirk Cameron.

I wonder if they’re going to make the eagle’s head face the arrows next
