Hello new people! I'm the total horror goofball who created the SERENITY ROSE and SHOCK CITY comics. I've also drawn stuff for every iteration of Invader ZIM (show, comics, and movie). So sorry for all of that!

The cover of the Serenity Rose graphic novel omnibus. It shows a blue-haired witch and her friends riding on a giant column of conjured green monsters.

The cover of the Shock City graphic novel. It shows two kids fleeing some big Lovecraftian horror mess. One kid looks okay with it!

A promo image for the Invader ZIM cartoon. It shows Zim as a giant rampaging Godzilla-type-thing.

A series of character designs from the Invader ZIM TV show. It shows Dib in various costumes, covered in slop, horribly injured, etc.

It’s that time of year again, time repost the best thing I ever made

Black and white illustration of a decayed, dripping, skeletal person crawling out of a muddy pit. Reads “Live through the ditches”

Black and white illustration of three witches riding on brooms across the night sky. Reads “Laugh through the witches”

Black and white illustration of the dragula coffin car. Reads “Love in the back of my dragula”

I only work on things that have Dragula vibes. If the thing does not appear to have Dragula vibes I will BE those vibes.

Fun fact: every copy of my kids' horror book SHOCK CITY comes with a full set of the Epstein files. My publisher argued it wasn't "appropriate," but I held the line. Probably should have mentioned this last year. shockcity.co

You still see them here and there, but the real trick is to get them to sit still long enough for a photo.

Aaron Alexovich @aaronalexovich.bsky.social · 1d

I don't blame them. Very difficult to get photographs of buildings!

Here's a T. Rex bored to death trying to bite their own tail. My partner asked me to animate it in stop motion, after she watched a video about the very important topic of "could T. Rex chew its own tail like a dog". The puppet is still a work in progress 🦖

i feel like i need to share this oldie but a goodie today

A tumblr post that reads "WHo would have believed that the perfect wikipedia photo caption could have been improved upon?" Two identical images are then side by side. The first caption is "Piper Kerr, a member of the Scottis National Antarctix Expedition, plays the bagpipes for an indifferent penguin, March 1904". The Caption for the image on the left reads, "Piper Kerr (right), a member of the Scottis National Antarctix Expedition, plays the bagpipes for an indifferent penguin, March 1904"

Californians, let’s call (916) 445-2841 to tell Newsom’s office to sign the following pro LGBTQ+ rights bills before the deadline:

AB 82/SB 497
AB 1084/SB 59
SB 418
AB 554
AB 728
AB 678
SB 590
SB 450

He hasn't signed the other bills yet, but he still has days to do so
This headline is misleading for not mentioning that.

The gender education veto is bad, but far from the most important trans rights bill on his desk.

There's still time to contact Newsom for the rest!
