I took this protest sign and turned it into a painting of Riot Dogs. And also Laika's ghost, because she would riot if she could. #painting #art #artist #riotdog #kanellos #matapacos #laika #traditionalart #lgbtqartist #resist #protestart #wip #protestdogs #riotdogs

It's Pride month, and I would like to share this story with you! I wrote it for a #fiction collection from 2013, about gay costumed supervillains. #gayfiction #comics #queervillainy #supervillain #gay

#Muppets

Sketching out a canvas for this VERY IMPORTANT mash-up of Ultraman and the Muppets. #wip #artsky #painting #Muppets #Ultraman #betacapsule #traditionalart #lgbtqartist #art #artist

I had to work, but I'm proud of my partner Bill for showing up and being seen at the No Kings protest in La Grande, Oregon today! #nokings #resist #FDT

Current boyfriend: Jeff Lemire. #comics #gideonfalls #jefflemire #andreasorrentino #comicsky

About to turn this colonoscopy up to eleven.

Finished another time-trial mask. Total active time: about 3.5 hours. #art #artist #mask #maskmaker #traditionalart #lgbtqartist #artsky

Lynchian wisdom for the apocalypse. Happy #Pride and fuck ICE.

My brother and I kicked off #Pride month with the most powerful musical in the known universe: Hedwig and the Angry Inch! A show that has something for EVERYONE while still being unapologetically queer as hell! @depotdevoidpodcast.bsky.social #HATAI #podsky #podcast #moviepodcast

Happy Goonies Weekend to those who celebrate! We recorded this episode of the Depot Devoid Podcast last week, on what would have been our brother's 45th birthday. #podcast #goonies #gooniesday #gooniesweekend #podsky #moviepodcast #neversaydie

A favorite from my forthcoming show, this painting shows HOT ROD and MOONDOG rescuing Laika's ghost from Sputnik 2 in 1957, with extra rainbows and maybe a trans pride theme on the satellite. #pride #dogsky #sputnik #laika #spacedog #dogs #transpride #painting #artist #lgbtqartist #traditionalart

Covered in pride and dog hair.

We watched The Goonies for the first time since Ian's death, and recorded this episode on what should have been his 45th birthday. There will be a lot of podcasts about The Goonies this week, but ours is the only one with an actual eulogy in it. That's the Depot Devoid difference! #podsky #goonies

This week my brother and I are kicking off Pride month by recording an episode of @depotdevoidpodcast.bsky.social about HEDWIG AND THE ANGRY INCH. He's never seen it before. I haven't seen it in... days.

Happy Pride from our dynamic duo. Enjoy it, this might be our last chance!

My 8 inch pie plate has been murdered 😫

Excited about my mail this week. But it's already half finished! I'll read literally anything drawn by @mikeallred.bsky.social and this stuff is so good. #fantasticfour #ff #comics #mattfraction #markbagley #comicsky

Ted and I will be recording a difficult episode tonight on @depotdevoidpodcast.bsky.social

Preparing to paint some draped canvases in the style of 1930s circus sideshow banners! #wip #artist #painting #traditionalart #lgbtqartist #circus #sideshow

The Dan Slott/Mike Allred run of Silver Surfer is about a girl at a crossroads in her life, who begins traveling the stars with an alien who loves humanity, and they have a deeply emotional and at least quasi-romantic relationship. It is literally Doctor Who. I love it. #doctorwho #comicsky

I do a podcast about movies with my brother Ted, as a joyful way to stay connected after our middle brother Ian died. But increasingly, @depotdevoidpodcast.bsky.social is also a reliable escape from the horror and stress of the world at large. Maybe you would like to stop by sometime.

Back to the beach! #dogsky #rescuedog #hounddog #ThisIsGus

Today, Gus touched his first ocean.

Gus is getting surgery today. He's recovered very well from the injuries to his leg, but in the last couple of days he's presented with an inguinal hernia (probably a delayed result of the same trauma.) The hernia isn't bothering him, but is a constant danger if left uncorrected, so here we go.

Some details from a work in progress called HOBBESON AND CHIVES: TESTING THE GROOVY BOX. It's a prequel to one I've already painted, in which they have become trapped in the box. #wip #artist #painting #art #groovy #lgbtqartist #traditionalart

My partner Bill and I at the #Mayday rally in La Grande, Oregon.

Did I cut a homemade sourdough cinnamon roll laterally into thirds, and then French toast it? Is that even legal? #sourdough #cinnamonroll #frenchtoast #everythingcanbefrenchtoasted

Gus tumbled yesterday, reacting to a livestock truck. He fell at the end of his tether. He has a couple of sutures & some abrasions, but he's going to be fine. Bill witnessed the fall, and now he has that movie playing behind his eyelids every time he closes them. But he took care of Gus.

This is the new protest sign I painted for the local Mayday rally. #resist #Mayday #fucktrump

Gus had a nice visit to the lake, though he would have preferred warmer water.

I've been painting tentacles all day, and they always make me think of these jumpropes from the elementary school playground. #painting #artist #wip #artsky #acrylic #canvas #art

This transformation sequence is so long. (Phrasing!) #ultraman #ultramangeed #ultramanzero
