Whoa boy…
My wife asked me to read an email she forwarded. Turns out a woman and her father went to the wife’s museum exhibit, were SO inspired by the art, they took the catalog to a tattoo artist and got the same piece etched into their forearms.
No permission requested.
She’s in a relative rage

One of life's great pleasures is watching Nick struggle—especially listening to your own soundtrack.
Resurrected my semi dormant youtube channel to port over my sketchbook stuff I've been doing on twitch.
Trying to just do chill hangs. No music, so you can play your own while you watch. Figuring out drawing again- struggles and all!

Books with Pictures (@bkswpicspdx.bsky.social) in Portland, Oregon is a GREAT comic shop, and its owner in @omgkatiep.bsky.social is one of the best. The shop is going through a hard time right now, and if you want to help BwP out, they opened a GoFundMe to help do just that.

Everyone in comics in the Pacific Northwest loves Katie, and loves Books with Pictures. It is more than a shop; it is a community.
Let's give back from the community to help keep Katie afloat in her time of need.

Love this!
My studio space in downtown Ojai has been a refuge during this last year of graphic novel-making, niche freelancing, community building, and, above all, caregiving. I'm doing a livestream tour at noon today if any of you digital friends wanna come say hello. www.patreon.com/posts/novemb...

I feel as if I check Instagram enough, but every time I log on, there's another show-stoping piece by Brian Bolland at the top of my feed.
Either I'm on the SAME schedule as the man, or IG is dolling them out to me so I keep coming back.

I got a Huion Kamvas 22 (thanks for the recommendation, @jametc.bsky.social!), and needed to build a little thingy for it so that I can have it at an easel angle in portrait mode. It's up and going!

I think I've deciphered the magic behind Aron's work.
There's an inaccuracy to our memories and feelings that only increase the earlier we delve. Here, our creative subconscious fills in the gaps. Aron's paintings and drawings capture that reconstructed impression in haunting and touching ways.
