The cover of BRAINS - a colorful brain and the word 'brains' Page 1 is a single panel 'It can feel like plucking fruit off a tree... and seeing what's inside' Illustration of a branch of a tree with peaches on it, and a cross section of a peach, instead of a pit, there is a brain Page 2 is 4 panels Panel 1: "...and sometimes" text over an illustration of a peach Panel 2: "it's a pit" (cross section of a peach, with the pit visible) Panel 3: "or a worm" (a fruit with a worm poking out of it) Panel 4: "but sometimes... it's a universe" the brain/pit in the peach from the previous page is zoomed in and now has rings around it like a planet in space An abstract illustration of a nervous system and eyes and the words memory, language processing, cognition, sensory perception, emotion, imagination, visual & auditory processing, logic Page from BRAINS First Panel: "An AI has no sense of anything. No context. No experience." Illustration of a little pink frog (he's playing a blood cell in this comic, though, which is why he's pink) Second panel: "It cannot touch" the pink frog bends down to pick a flower Third panel: "It cannot smell" 'sniff sniff' the frog smells the flower Fourth panel: "It cannot breathe" (the frog is now dark blue with bright pink lungs visible, as though the frog has been imaged in some way) Fifth panel: "It cannot think" (the frogs brain is now visible, similarly to the lungs in the previous panel) Sixth panel: "It cannot be" the frog is floating and his cute lil butt is visible Seventh panel: "*Stares directly at camera*" the pink frog stares directly at camera Eight panel: "It cannot be... YOU" Page from BRAINS First Panel: "An AI has no sense of anything. No context. No experience."

BRAINS is just $1 for the next day, you can snag a digital copy of my 40 page comic about the joys of thinking and perceiving and BEING a human instead of so-called AI doing all the thinking for us. It is a love letter to the brain (and hate mail for the AI garbage) (shares appreciated!)

"Do you know what it's like to be inside an iron lung? I do."

I redesigned the science communications page on my website in a somewhat... unique way, you might say. I also wrote a little essay about my experience inside an iron lung.

here's two pieces of paper high-fiving after escaping from the copy machine
pretty bad cartoon drawing of two plain white sheets of printer paper that seem to be jumping in the air and the upper corners of them make contact. that's the whole thing. not even sure what the joke is here.

I was offline all day because I got to go to MoMA with my kid and he didn’t break anything AGAIN, so let’s celebrate with some silly little pictures!
Picture of ME taken in front of the Len Lye Projector Experiments at MoMA’s Family Festival Picasso’s “Girl Before a Mirror,” which I love because he’s using a FUN color palette as opposed to something either morose or neutral Some of the flowers we got to paint and color from Anna Bruder’s “A Line Florist” exhibit Edward Hopper’s “Gas,” which was just breath taking in real life.

Making a zine of old website designs. Turning them into new art pieces, in a way, because I am combining elements from different layouts. This is the spiritual successor to my Iconic zine with a bunch of my old LiveJournal icons. Hope to have it done this week so I can bring some with me to xoxo.
A page of a zine I am working on - it is an InDesign file with the toolbar visible. There are two distinct layouts - one is grungy and features several photos of Mandy Moore, mostly in black and white and the links “info” “artwork” and “links” and the second features red chairs, an alarm clock and a floor lamp on a beige background with a few pale circles patterned across it.

the thing about "i want to make comics" is that you have to start by making comics. it feels daunting because you want to make GOOD comics

but like

if i wanted to whittle i would not expect my first piece to be a beautiful toad king. i'd go fuck up some wood. you gotta go fuck up some comics
