Hi Folks, May was rough on the family (car repairs, medical bills, and a broken AC), and while I could set up a GFM, instead I am asking for commissions. All the details are here: www.patreon.com/posts/129965... Thank you in advance for orders and shares! Cheers!

Despite a wrist injury shutting me down, I had to honor Walter Koenig, most known as Chekov in the original Star Trek series. Koenig was also a talented writer, and I'm told was also an amazing human. Thank you, and farewell, Sir. (PS the last pic shows how I managed this drawing, aka, strangely...)

@jeffparker.bsky.social Happy Birthday, Jeff! I'll hoist a mug of coffee in your honor! Cheers!

Will be reposting this at various times for the next couple of days. I suck at self promotion, even after nearly 20 books these past 14+ years. The changes Meta are making will make promoting my work even more difficult. If you enjoy my work, please consider signing up for my email! Thank you!

Following Sebastian's advice, my friend @maydaytrippe.bsky.social is going under the sea and contributing artwork for an Oceanman tale! Support the project with the link below!

Caligula for Tax Purposes

Ditka.

This week's Ted Lasso homage to "All the President's Men" is bloody brilliant.

@paultobin.bsky.social I finally downloaded my KS PDF of your Angry Birds with Thom, and it is just as bonkers as I expected. Looking forward to more... Cheers!

Migraine Aphasia sucks when you're a writer.

@seanferrick.bsky.social Don't worry... we're watching you talk to yourself. ;) Hope you're feeling better! (BTW, this is how I celebrated the week, even if my Peck somehow morphed into Claudia Winkelmann...)

The likenesses got away from me in inking and coloring, but I'm happy with it overall, and with Nimoy Spock in particular. Happy Birthday, Star Trek!

@seanferrick.bsky.social Watching WTH and your presence is missed. Feel better soon!

Happy Birthday, Star Trek! (M'Benga isn't here to fix my carpal, so the next stages will be posted tomorrow and Wednesday.) Live Long amd Prosper 🖖

Writing the metadata for my next book, and I realized that "Steer Your Own Story: The Mystery of the Invisible Cow" is the 20th book published by Deans Family Productions. Not bad for 11 years in chasing this dream of having 'creator' be my actual job.

@seanferrick.bsky.social Watching this bonkers episode and I can hear Tom with every scene...

Let me guess: He's annoyed the cars don't drive themselves?

Farewell, Doc...

Goodbye, Shelley. youtu.be/SC1Zk5oIEPA?...

@seanferrick.bsky.social Not sharing to try and change your mind, but this is an interesting take on the most recent SNW... youtu.be/9WUcmdtbv2w?...

@seanferrick.bsky.social Oof. This one really got under your skin, didn't it? I would love to buy you some tea (Earl Grey, etc etc) and discuss it with you... were it not for the whole ocean in between. I do hope you enjoy the next one quite a bit to help balance this week for you!

I have this, and it's one of the best from her early years. Worth every penny (so throw a lot of 'em Tara's way)!

Tomorrow could be very interesting in British politics...

@seanferrick.bsky.social My take in the M'Benga bit was that I saw it as a cross reference to John Hoyt telling Pike in the Cage, "some people will tell their bartender things they'll never tell their Doctor," and then Isaac on Love Boat, the bartender who was as much counselor as barkeep.

@seanferrick.bsky.social Catching up on 4.3U&Ds, and I don't know if this is my age showing or not, but... I hated "The Hangover," but loved this episode. (Esp Scotty.) I can only assume that it's because I love the SNW cast, but find the Hangover cast tedious.

The AI in Terminator 2 had a greater effect on my work than any of these companies. Well... except for nearly doubling my electricity bill.

if you see this, quote the energy you bring to bluesky.

The news that -2's accounts were frozen for money laundering isn't making a splash because his acolytes will absolve him of anything, and the rest of us are not at all surprised by the news.

The owner of the "Cats on a Couch" Insta feed has successfully applied to have August 2nd named "National Clean Your Couch" Day, starting this year. In totally unrelated news, anyone wanna guess JDVance's birthday?

Post a shark for #SharkWeek!

Inking... #Xmen #Gambit

I'm lucky enough to call a few members of Helioscope friends, and this studio is full of amazing human beings with varied and fantastic artistic talents. Buying art from their store helps the studio with the high costs of the day to day operations, helps the artists, and you get great art!

Doodlin' #XMen #Gambit #AvengersDoomsday

Rewatching STRANGE NEW WORLDS in preparation for the season 4 debut thia week, and... Will there *ever* be a time when "The Elysian Kingdom" isn't an emotional gut-punch?

@jonscrazyblues.bsky.social Good luck this week!

@seanferrick.bsky.social Really looking forward to your video(s) on this...

My friends @bfrantz19.bsky.social & @kevincuff.bsky.social have taken their Ringo Award winning humor to classic B-Movies with an original story based on "Attack of the Killer Tomatoes!" Plus, it's drawn by @bobbytimony.bsky.social! Get your copy here: www.kickstarter.com/projects/tim... Cheers!

Sell your book in five words! "Superspy koala saves the bees." bookshop.org/shop/grandpu... #KidLit

Meant to share this piece from this morning then, but... Life. I hope he got to see Montana.

Um... Did Sky F1 really use Matt Damon for their intro piece on Silverstone/the UKGP just to make an 'odyssey' joke/reference about the race? Do they not know any British actors from the film?

@seanferrick.bsky.social "W... Wuh... We're allowed to have more than one Black admiral." A) I legit cracked up here, and B) I have stories... (Fun recap/analysis! Cheers!)

Wouldn't this mean his Snickers could now be considered 'trans'?

Despite all we have done, there are parts of the world that still respect our land more than we do.

@benjamindewey.bsky.social No one told me @paultobin.bsky.social was going to Heroes!

@clutchscience.bsky.social This was IMMEDIATELY above your pants post in my feed...

@ryandunlavey.bsky.social Those Sketch cards are great! Thank you for the fanzine, and most important, have a great show!

Five favorite books of all time (in no particular order): The Thin Man, Hammett The Master & Margarita, Bulgakov The Mouse That Roared, Wibberly Wolf's Hour, McCammon Spider-Man Masterworks Vols 1 & 2, Ditko & Lee
