No social media space since the invention of the smart phone is a haven. They're labs for commerce. Go hang out in your friend's shitty apartment.

Not wanting to air out my personal business, I haven't mentioned it, but my position @ work was eliminated a little while ago.

I have extensive experience in e-comm, customer relations, & brand design/management, and am looking for full time work. Comics-adjacent would be ideal, but I'm open. DM me

Today is the 75th anniversary of Peanuts. From 1948, here’s what might be the first article about Charles Schulz, from the magazine of Art Instruction, Inc., a mail-order school founded by my great-grandmother’s younger half-brother.

I have this enormous book and you should too.

So this one is a bit different than the other books I have scanned, in that it is borrowable in many ways but, my copy was falling apart so rather than have it exist asa spine on a shelf I decided to tear it down and make it available online.

Gorgeous screen-tone in this page from 2001 Nights Stories (and this is old enough that it's legit actual physical screen!).

Storm https://www.wikiart.org/en/ivan-aivazovsky/storm-1861

In "Storm," Ivan Aivazovsky masterfully captures the ominous drama of turbulent waves crashing against rugged cliffs, emphasizing the smallness of human endeavors amidst nature's fury. The faint outline of a ship caught in the chaos accentuates the emotional intensity and romanticism characteristic of Aivazovsky's seascapes.

You can read the entire first issue in black-and-white right now if you have any reservations.

Barajas means playing cards. Gambling goes back generations in my family. This is a big gamble.

And the chips are down.

But remember, the house always wins.
