some friends and I started a tradition of eating fried chicken on thanksgiving, and this year I hosted so I thought I’d try deep frying for the first time. it was so scary, but I’m proud of myself for doing it anyway!
I don’t even eat meat, but friends said it was really good 🥹

the Wired profile on Cybertruck owners did not disappoint

How do you feel about becoming a political lightning rod? People occasionally just flip [me] off or whatever, but nobody's come up to me and tried to make a statement about anything. Personally, it's kind of dumb. It's just a vehicle. So it's ironic that it would even become a political statement, but nonetheless it is.

The artists constantly use sharp, spikey SFX, which are really tricky to draw with curvy roman letters. I had to develop a new method for drawing SFX because of this series. It was a fun challenge!!
A page of Kamudo opened up on a wooden desk. The first panel shows a dragon crouched low and whipping its tail with the SFX “VWIIISH.” The next panel shows that dragon’s tail hitting another dragon’s tail with the SFX “VWAP.” Some dragons who were watching the fight flee as the tails strike each other again with a “KRAK.” A human boy looks joyfully at the fight. Finally, one of the fighting dragons has shaped its hand into a claw, and energy is emanating out of it with a “VWOOOO”

The page shows a group of dragons standing around a large shell that’s cracked open. In the next panel, the baby with a dragon hand who emerged from the shell is wailing “WAAAAAAHH”

I don't use imagetrace for my fonts because it doesn't do corners no matter what resolution the rasterized image is

I also like to trace pen stroke by pen stroke to be able to make adjustments

Vols 1-5 of Hirayasumi by Keigo Shinzo are available now in the VIZ app! It’s such a lovely story, and I wound up reading all 44 chapters in one sitting.
