it's a challenge to myself to 1) experiment w a different media style (b&w, pencil-like, effective use of textures), 2) learning how to simplify my process (less-is-more; figuring out how to make comics faster) and 3) stick with a single project over a long period. it's definitely pushing me!

I have made: SERAPHIM DRIVE, a collection of art/writing/short vignettes in a shadowrun-adjacent setting

I am making: A PLAGUE OF SMOKE, ongoing webcomic based on the oddworld games. launched earlier this year, going much slower than intended, but i'm still chipping away at it
cover page for A Plague of Smoke featuring a number of the main cast members. in the background is the silhouette of a factory spewing smog into a murky sky. in the forefront is Rae, leaping forward out of an explosion. beneath them in the factory bunkhouses, Louie is running along a metal walkway, dragging Hanz behind him, followed closely by Skip. Text in a black box, framed by an image of a smoggy sky above a factory: We were born with the luxury of being oblivious. Everything the same, day in, day out; our whole world contained within concrete and steel. The fresh air burned our lungs hotter than the fire that set us free, but on our first night no longer bound by chains, the moon was more beautiful than we could ever have imagined. Yet as she sank into the horizon, and we watched the sun drag itself into that bleeding morning sky, Within the sulphur and the smog, we saw the truth: That there is a plague of smoke upon this land, and that it threatens to consume us all. White/grey text on a black background reads: 1. Ripple Everything changed in but an instant A violent burst of brilliant colour Somehow close but somehow distant Page 1 of A Plague of Smoke. Panel 1: a large, barren room where mudokons are seated in rows at tables. sligs patrol around them, on the ground and on walkways above them. a voice over the tannoy says: "Attention, unit 7 employees: allotted break time ends in 5 minutes. All workers will return to stations at 13:00. No food or drink for personal consumption is permitted on work floors." Panel 2: a slig leaning casually against the walkway railing. Dialogue: Hanz, off-camera: You heard what Zeke's been sayin' lately? Panel 3 cuts to 3 specific mudokons seated together at a table. Dialogue: Skip: No, Hanz. Tell me what *Zeke's* been sayin'.

Probably the worst of them all is the Ring doorbell.

It’s sold as safety, but it’s much more about fear and paranoia in a box that turns you against your community. The more of them in the world, the worse our neighborhoods get. Don’t help the spiral continue.

Speaking of a reindeer taking down grandma, a Ring doorbell might be able to capture that kind of footage so you have proof of what happened. But like with the smart speaker, there’s so much more that comes with that purchase. Amazon — and other companies pushing camera doorbells — want you to think they’re making you safer by giving you insight into what’s happening around your home. Ring doorbell ads often also try to make them appear fun, with people putting on a show for the doorbell. But that’s little more than a public relations campaign. For me, the camera doorbell is the perfect example of a technology that makes people believe they’re safer when really making them more paranoid and anxious as they see their neighborhood and community with deep and unwarranted suspicion. People become aware of things that had already been happening around their home for ages without them knowing about it and they become like big brother, spying out everything once the camera detects movement. It gets even worse when this paranoia meets social media, whether through snitching apps like Nextdoor or the spread of clips on platforms like Facebook that convince others to fear their surroundings and vastly overestimate the amount of crime happening in their vicinity.
