Why do they always sound like they are from a cult when they get the slightest pushback? Always trying to promote this false sense of FOMO.

Colourful waist up drawing of my OC helixel, she's wearing a face mask with teeth on the front. She holds up her phone that says "wear a *uckin mask" on the screen. The image is from 2020.

Just back from seeing the latest PTA. Dude still got the sauce. Pacing and decisions made, especially with the directing of that last sequence - unreal.

Black and white drawing of Vash from Trigun in an outfit I designed for him mixing both his look from Maximum and Stampede to create something with more belts! He holds his gun up in front of the two moons.

The mania that Willem Dafoe expresses in The Boondock Saints felt necessary to capture. Man really went through a journey acting his ass off.

Some studies while trying out some brushes on procreate.

This has been an ongoing problem which is courtesy of a Luxembourg investment fund that owns thousands of houses in Ireland. These are rented out through one of the dozens of subsidiary companies that the fund uses to obscure its ownership.

Extra funny when you think about how Sinners, which features Michael B. Jordan gunning down Klansmen in broad daylight in slow-mo, is the 10th highest-grossing R-rated film of all time - higher than The Hangover, 300, Logan, John Wick 4, etc....

SCOOP: Last year, Ubisoft cancelled an Assassin's Creed game set during Reconstruction. Was to feature a Black Assassin who, among other things, fought the rise of the Klan

Sources: Leadership nixed it over concerns re: U.S. political climate, backlash to Yasuke
