SPUD #1 is out. Our first diy zine and it comes with fancy vinyl sticker. Illustrations and comics were all pencil on paper this time and we wrote some pieces of text about very relevant topics for the delight of more intellectual readers and those nostalgic. We kept them short, so don't worry

diy zine spud #1 standing next to a chalice, candles and palosanto burning on a bowl. smoke glows through candlelight. decorative fabrics in the same color of the candles give the photo an esoteric charm.

Back and front cover of SPUD. The back says "The reason behind the beauty of this world lies beyond this world". Six hands seem to be part of a seal. On the front cover, those same hands have grown monstrous: has the seal been broken?

3 copies of SPUD #1 plus 2 vinyl stickers that feature 2 dark magicians with closed hands as in prayer. A pink spot that seems a sun crowns them and below the figures the word SELKIEPUKA.

One of the comics featured in SPUD #1: SUCTION. Something very weird about someone's eye is happening: the character seems to be sucked through their eyehole inside their own skull. Is this even possible?

The Frog Princess was a powerful sorceress who used a giant frog's skin to transform herself into a Frog. Tales tell of how she was wed to Prince Ivan and made great use of her skills in magic to win over her husband. Some say that she was cursed to use the skin by Koshchei the deathless.

“I am not interested, nor will I ever be interested. I'm 61, and I hope to be able to remain uninterested in using it at all until I croak. ... The other day, somebody wrote me an email, said, ‘What is your stance on AI?’ And my answer was very short. I said, ‘I'd rather die.’” 🫡

Filmmaker Guillermo del Toro says 'I'd rather die' than use generative AI

Del Toro's new Frankenstein adaption reimagines Mary Shelley's 1818 Gothic novel. Frankenstein was like a tech bro: "creating something without considering the consequences," he explains.

Guillermo del Toro on 'Frankenstein': 'AI can go f**k itself!'

"Art is not only necessary, it is urgent. And AI can go f*ck itself!” Guillermo del Toro is a guest of honour at this year’s Lumière Film Festival. He presents his adaptation of Mary Shelley's "Frankenstein", which audiences got to see on the big screen before it streams on Netflix next month.

Kiwi the cat. We mostly call him "Wurst", which is German for "sausage". He only has 2 modes: sleepy or frantic. He is the first to wake up in the morning and proceeds to shout and scratch the door to our room to wake us up too. He loves cuddles, but also jumping onto things and running

#caturday

Kiwi in his basket, you can only see his sleepy face and both his paws placed on the edge.

Just discovered this 1880 penis balloon ship illustration and had to share.
It's from Fantaisies Parisiennes by artist Frédillo, apparently showing the last invention of Thomas Edison

Got to keep practicing my watercolors. Worked perfectly for some smoke. Could have done more shading wise but I made it too small for my brush skills.

Keep Portland Weird and Strong.

An image of a watercolor illustration lined in black ink. The illustration is of the Portland Frog flashing a peace sign while standing in purple smoke. It says “I’ve had spicier”

Inspired by @heavymetalofficial.bsky.social "LOC-TOBER", specifically the prompt "Space Pirate Queen", we first did a sketch and then turned it into a full illustration.

There you go, our space pirate queen and her loyal crew member! Rise above the stars!

#hmloctober #hmloctober2025

Astronaut girl wearing a pirate hat and riding a rocket just the size of her, with a small window from which another crew member is looking and waving the tongue sorta between her legs. As background, there are stars and a full moon.

‼️🚨KICKSTARTER WORKERS ARE ON STRIKE🚨‼️

As of 8am this morning, the workers of Kickstarter United/OPEIU Local 153 are on strike.

WE ARE NOT ASKING FOR A BOYCOTT! Creators and allies, please continue using and supporting the platform.

Kickstarter United is on strike!
We are not asking for a boycott! Creators & Allies: Please continue to support & use the platform
swipe for ways to show your solidarity

Why We're Striking
A codified 4-day work week.
We simply want to protect the way we've been working for over 3.5 years. The 4dww has proven benefits, such as increased productivity and improved employee satisfaction. It's part of what makes Kickstarter a special, innovative place to work.
Fair pay for our lowest-paid workers.
We're fighting for livable minimum salaries for roles that are undervalued by the market but crucial to keeping Kickstarter running. We believe none of our workers should struggle to make ends meet.

some of my entries for this #artefaktober
~ azura

prompt was Ritual Bell. Drawn with pencil, was inspired both by Tibetan Vajra and Lovecraft's Dagon. The handle is more like the Tibetan artefact while the waist has a sort of staring fishlike creatures pattern on it

Daruma doll was the prompt. Drawn with a pencil, this one is kind of rounded and feels like polished stone

Prompt was "coffin - what lies inside?". Drawn with pencil, the open coffin feels like a bathtub made off stone and it's lying on a wet surface, there are ripples where it stands. There is a lid lying on the floor next to it and we can see the figure lying inside, delicate, hands across the chest, wearing a hooded cape

This time, 2 prompts together. "Rabbit foot" and "Magic key". Drawn with pencil, the thick rabbit foot works as keychain. The key head has an intrincated pattern and there are sparks on its tip

Parasola plicatilis or Pleated ink cap. These are so delicate, unlike myself. I simply don't have anymore grace for those that helped the fascists into our government.

P.S. Don't be a Nazi!

Earlier this year, Dr. Jane Goodall sat down for an interview for Brad Falchuk’s new Netflix series, Famous Last Words.

The premise of the series is to interview people on the condition that the interview not air until the subject has passed away.
