Reminder: these are real screen tones. That means applying the darker tone, from which they had to painstakingly cut every pill, then apply the lighter tone on one pill at a time (most of them with slightly different shapes), and finally gently scratching them individually to get the glow effect.

Israel attacking the Global Sumud Flotilla...there is no shame, no line, because there has been no consequence to any of the horrors they've perpetrated thus far.

These colonizers will keep on doing anything and everything until they're hit with actual consequences that hurt them.

🚨ANNOUNCEMENT!🚨

VERY excited to share w/ you all the title & synopsis of my next OGN coming from Humanoids:

HALFBLOOD
Story/art by me, colors by @20eyesbrad.bsky.social

Launching soon via kickstarter-- click the link below to be notified when it goes live!
www.kickstarter.com/projects/hum...

“Do you believe in fate?” asks Senjuro, The Black Demon, to all those who cross his path. Victim or guide.

A masterless, mixed-race samurai, Senjuro skulks through the shadows of an evolving feudal Japan, seeking to serve...but the age of the Samurai flickers on the winds of modernization, and any work to be had is less than honorable. That is until Claire, a wealthy British explorer and anthropologist, swings through the tavern doors seeking aid from the man whose reputation precedes him; the one they call The Black Demon. Her family has just been monstrously slain and exsanguinated, and signs point to perpetrators beyond human. Along with Claire and her Sikh companion Jangveer, Senjuro the Black Demon must face hell on earth to deliver their reckoning, and in the process, find the honor he so desperately seeks.

From the singular mind of Ibrahim Moustafa, who turned time inside out in RETROACTIVE, reimagined The Count of Monte Cristo as a sci-fi epic in COUNT, and put the Western back in Space Western with CYN, comes a thriller that combines worlds have been long-destined to meet, but will collide for the first time within these pages.

Accompanied by an image of our samurai, Claire, and Jangveer in Sikh armor standing at a portcullis with fang-like spikes, dripping with blood.

RIP to Robert Redford, one of the best to ever do it (and a dozen other things on top of that)

Here’s an excerpt from a 2017 interview that he did with Esquire, in which he discusses his career, the Trump presidency and a slew of other things all very articulately

Remember him for the work

I know in the grand scheme of things it ain’t a big deal but it’s just something that really rubs me the wrong way…

Samir AKA ABO-SIMSIM 🇵🇸 Taking every day as it comes 🙏🏼 @simsima1980.bsky.social · 29d

Sometimes I get furious & I know exactly why. I just see the way some people act in the family & I’m just like… (Subconsciously) If dad was okay you’d never just eat in front of other family members & not have something for them to eat…
They don’t get it at all but for me it’s disrespectful…
