I knew you would!!
should consolidate all these snippets into a google doc titled 'THIS THING' then go re-traumatize that lady from viz (sorry, lady from viz)
now & then I sit down & like write some monologue for a character from This Thing, or poke at the outline I never finished writing. but doing something plot-y & politick-y feels contrary to my usual workflow. ig the prison island comic is sort of a color sketch version of this thing, but also not
an old character from a project I never seem to actually get around to working on in any serious manner. he is dressed in black and looks a bit too much like that dead guy* from The Rolling Stones. back when I was going for something between the internet's other boyfriend wizard howl & maybe a young damon albarn from when he had a bit of a princely thing going but now I can neither correct nor unsee this *by now as of 2026 several of the Stones might be dead. I'm not keeping track on this
same as previous, sans color
yearly I drew the guy drawing. I drew the guy. anyone remember the guy

like that, or that it already having been like that for some time now is becoming impossible to deny
I remember a radio documentary ages ago abt Russian media & how (allegedly) there were so much information & disinformation & lies eventually ppl just stop trying to parse what's real/relevant & just go about their days, cause what can you do. feels like the rest of the world is becoming more & more
I maintain the one piece sad backstory is the highest form of literature
View of a cloudless blue sky. It's daytime but a full moon is visible. Utility lines stretch across. Part of a house and a tree are in the corner.
[ #art #original ]
black and white comics panels β a man crying or maybe laughing, then a drawing of the sea and some birds
make the face the character is making, they said. this will result in a more natural expression, they said. but what if I hurt my lil cheeks in the process of forcing myself to silently laugh-cry for 30 min straight
there's a hundred little tendencies in society rn that make me think human life is becoming more disposable again after a brief post-ww2 period of pretending we cared
I mean I hope it's like last time & they lose interest after a while & things go back to normal, sustainable levels of bad. don't trust me on geopolitics
todays anxiety thought is we'll have ww3 the way we had a global pandemic. trips get canceled. you sit around hearing the news; it's awful. if you're lucky no-one close to you is affected. then after he nukes a couple Iranian towns we've never heard of we collectively decide to forget & move on
been ages since I read Donjon ha ha. god the bouncy lines of everyone working on that comic. should have gone down that route, drawing-vise
& ig the gap in personality between damyun here & tiger ca world heist means at some point I'll have to do more with this character, to figure out how they became a relatively well-adjusted adult
I think Patrick likes it so probably. just have like 20 pages left & after being in a state of super flow last December, after months of vacationing & doing nothing, I am now swimming upstream. but the thing has become a whole graphic novel. 140 pages or so
wrote this text on a plane last fall from lisbon to rio. now that I put it on the page it reads like a bit they used to do on the shelved by genre podcast. some day I will shut tf up abt botns. brazil mentioned, in the most obtuse possible manner
comics panels, black and white. a man laying on the floor in a nice apartment, conversing with a black-clad goddess
more of this stuff. protagonist once again laying uselessly on the ground
Londoners, on the 3rd of April I will be doing a SIGNING AND LAUNCH for @peow.bsky.social's Ex.Mag 06 at @goshcomics.bsky.social
I'm in the anthology with "Aeon Orbit" a comic by me and the amazing @decassette.bsky.social and will be scrawling on your copy and/or anything else.
this & the one they did w Einar from the sugarcubes. something super appealing abt these confidently shitty vocalists doing polished, normal-ish electronic pop. I hope some day they can recruit the guy formerly of black midi; the name escapes me
I mostly just cause myself to spiral; or watch other ppl be upset abt things I can do nothing to change
yeah I think part of the temptation to just ramble abt my life on here is it feels p consequence-less. but also it mostly results in useless life advice from well-meaning Americans so it's not even good for that
yeah la cerise is doing a French volume, will be out this fall probably

it's cool how my awful boy mark e smith appears as a laughing ghost on the new gorillaz album. the weather continues to be shit. I love my dog. etc etc. things proceed as usual
a behavior I find off-putting when other ppl do it
