i will give you a secret: studying aside, there is not a special kind of person for whom drawing takes less work!! there are only people who put the work in even when it's super hard and doesn't turn out the way they wanted it to, because they enjoy it despite these drawbacks, and people who don't

Me: so there's this trend going around where people ask "how did you survive the 2008 crash, and don't just say eat beans" Spouse: but that's how you do it, you eat beans Me: yeah! Or like, I lived in a gross house with way too many roommates Spouse: the beans are a metaphor for suffering

“Be cool” is perhaps the most panic-inciting phrase a president of the United States could post. You know who tells you to “be cool?” Your drug dealer, right after he narcs on you.

Our biggest problem as a society is we've decided wealth is a proxy for intelligence -- when in reality, an overabundance of money causes your brain to cease functioning

For #PortfolioDay meet Microraptor :) I made this two-page comic for my friend @deniscomix.bsky.social's Mesozine Issue 3. For this story, I was inspired by a children's book my toddler likes to read about an owl who is hunting for his next meal, Hoot Owl Master of Disguise. #comics #dinosaurs

They say that five million people protested Trump this weekend. They now say that those protesters were paid. Five million people paid to protest. Question: If someone had money to pay off five million people to protest, why wouldn’t they cut the middle man and simply buy congress

HUMAN ARTISTS, use only one piece to convince people to follow you

if you’re an artist who ever thought “what’s the point? The world is Hell and I should do something that matters instead” even in an ICE detention center people will treat art as sacred, seek it out, and find joy and comfort in it. You aren’t making art, you’re making hope.

I'm really curious to find out how many people were at Seattle Center today. It's the biggest protest I've been a part of since, uh, January 2017.

submitted 11 days ago • 1 comment

Just based on loud bus conversations, there sure are a lot of old white people who consider themselves conservative "but this has just gone too far" headed to Seattle 's protest today. Welcome to the resistance, your homemade "no kings" sign is cute.

artificial scarcity is a con. if corporations had to donate unsold food, clothing, & furniture instead of dumping them in landfills, the prices we pay would reflect their actual value & demand. why do we allow corporate entities to own empty houses, when there are real people here without homes.

the best part about being a cartoonist/game dev is the part where you do the cartooning/game dev the worst part is having to psychically intuit the functions of a marketing expert and small business owner while I have the brain of a small FPS-playing trout
