Claudio Pozas — Commissions Open @claudiopozas.bsky.social · 2d

Hello, #PortfolioDay! I'm Claudio, illustrator from Brazil. I've done art for D&D, Magic, Witcher, Marvel, Cyberpunk Red, Star Wars, and more. I dream of doing MotU art, and I'm trying to do more books/comics covers. I also do private commissions, so let's do art together!

Colored drawing of He-Man, Teela, and Orko facing off against Skeletor, Beast-Man, Mer-Man, Evil-Lyn, and a disassembled Faker on the steps of Snake Mountain.

Series of stained glass windows depicting the fall of the archangel Zariel and her ascendance as a Duke of Hell.

Painting of He-Ro, a powerfully-built wizard, being ambushed by Demo-Man, a green skull-faced demon.

The Hobbit Trilogy would be much better edited into a 2-film epic that follows the book without any material/characters from the LotR appendices. I'll bet you could even get all the best, important bits into a single 3ish-hour film. That's all it needs.

On that note:

Trans authors (I mean authors who are trans, NOT cis people who write about trans people), drop your book links here and I'll try to repost as many as I can throughout the day.

Cis people: Repost trans authors' book links.

Being a trans author is fucking weird right now. Hell is actively unfolding all around us but I still need to be like, "hey, everyone, wanna buy my silly little queer book? It won't make anything better, but it's kinda fun?"

So....hey, everyone, wanna buy my silly little queer book?

Withholding soldiers' pay for bullshit political reasons is a GREAT way to foster loyalty.

A few minutes ago in the House:

- Speaker Mike Johnson officially cancels votes next week, extending the House recess through a fourth week

- House Republicans block Democrats from passing a bill to pay the troops during the shutdown, ensuring they will miss paychecks next week

House Press Gallery: During today's pro forma session, the Clerk read a message from the Speaker designating Tuesday, October 14 through Sunday, October 19 as a district work period.

Punchbowl's Briana Reilly: House gaveled in and out of its pro forma just now w/o recognizing Rep Elfreth, who was seeking to UC a mil pay bill from Rep Sykes.

Elfreth told reporters after that House Dems stand “ready and willing to take” up standalone legislation to pay troops.

Damn. This is amazing. £325 per week, paid monthly, for 3 years - and the result was a profit for the Irish economy:

Post from Threads user rodneyowl: "Ireland has declared the Basic Income for Artists scheme permanent. This will be officially announced in tomorrow’s budget. Details to follow. Congratulations to all who fought for it and the present and future artists of all sorts in Ireland. That includes me 👌We’re just comin to the end of a 3 year pilot scheme. It’s been a roaring success. For every €1 paid out to the 2000 participants, the government got €1.46 back. Can’t argue with that. Other countries are already taking note."

But now, two performances into Macbeth now with one more to go this week (and three more next week), I know I have no regrets about it.

It has been one of the greatest experiences of my life, and the people I have worked with in the Garfield Shakespeare Company have been fantastic. (2/2)

During the last month or so, there were times I questioned the wisdom of choosing to do Shakespeare as both my first stage experience and my first time performing for an audience. (1/2)

Every single time I have completely blanked on a line, I'm in a scene with Lady Macbeth.

HansC - 2026 ENnies Judge @hanscummingsvo.bsky.social · 13d

Opening night for Macbeth was a success! We didn't have a large crowd, but that was to be expected on a work night.

I missed one line, fortunately, my scene partner understood my under-the-breath, non-Shakespearean "shit" to mean "Please do your next line of dialog before I die here."

If this country was truly “pro-life,” we would have Medicare for All, a Green New Deal, gun reform, universal child care, and a living wage.

The right-wing agenda isn’t about “life.”

It’s about control.
