A front page of the Spirit newspaper supplement, a cover to the Spirit comic book, a cover to PS: The Preventative Maintenance Monthly, and the cover to his graphic novel Contract to God.

"you need to learn how to use gAI or you'll get left behind!"

counterpoint!

the absolute fastest way to render yourself unemployable is to build your skillset around a tool that does your thinking for you, that everyone has access to, and that one company can change or take away at any time

You are the best.

YOU, from You, the Komik

Check out this cool unfinished drawing from 2024 that I completely forgot about.

Picture of Marjane Satrapi alongside a quote from her. The quote reads: The world is not divided into countries. The world is not divided between East and West. You are American, I am Iranian, we don't know each other, but we talk together and we understand each other perfectly. The difference between you and your government is much bigger than the difference between you and me. And the difference between me and my government is much bigger than the difference between me and you. And our governments are very much the same... - Marjane Satrapi, Iranian-French graphic novelist

27 Feb: Nation of Language's Strange Disciple

Simple synth vibes that feel like both the early 80s and late 2000s. Sole Obsession is my favorite aggressive Manhattan walking song.

The secret hero of Moore's Swamp Thing run.

I've talked about this at length with folks like @jfsculpts.bsky.social l and @backwoodgoat.bsky.social but I love this idea of essentially collaborating with your younger self. It's not improvement, but a sort of re-expression that highlights aspects that you still like while adding a new focus.

I'm gonna share my 2022 comic SORCERY here why not. {1/7}
