In the DrawMob Discord, I asked for a lip bite emoji to be added to it for those, y’know…feral days. Yesterday afternoon, I found myself looking at said emoji and thought, “I could make this look a whole lot fuckin’ hornier.” It was a challenge to myself. I had fun.
A lip bite emoji, drawn by Allan Lorde. It’s got prominent facial lines (eyebrow creases, crow’s feet), a vigorous lip bite, blush lines, and visible gums. It’s surrounded by radiating circles of blue.

I was looking for the top post and realized I had addressed this topic before. I'd love for this to happen, but I don't have the desire to make it happen.
A screenshot of Bluesky posts by Allan Lorde about his ideal wrestling game reboot.

One month ago:
"If I had way, I’d make a spiritual successor to NES Pro Wrestling. It’d have the OG roster, plus another 15 or so wrestlers, and a create-a-wrestler function.
I guess this post is a way to manifest it into being."

Three months ago:
"NES Pro Wrestling. Update the sound and graphics, multiply the OG roster by 8, add a tag team division, and a create-a-wrestler function. That would probably be my ideal wrestling game."
in response to: "What game would you instantly buy if it got remastered and the gameplay was updated"

Twenty-five years ago today, I joined a website that changed my life for the better. I learned a ton, made friends, and got some direction. I hate how it all ended, but I can’t get mad at how it started.

Issue 10 of @ugsmag.com is out in the world, so here’s a better look at the illustrations I did for it. As I mentioned before, these are for a piece about rap dude-recommended local spots to eat. If you wanna know why a cat is there, you need to buy the issue.

Who was your first anime crush? I had to think hard about this, and I would have to say that it’s Susan Sommers of Venus Wars.

I never got into them, but when I was in college, a ton of folks I knew thought they ruled. They hired Burlesque of North America to do some of their posters, so I'll give them that. In fact, I have one!
A screenprinted concert poster by Aaron Horkey and Burlesque of North America for The Arcade Fire, Wolf Parade, and The Belle Orchestre. The dates take place in September and October of 2005, in Winnipeg and Saskatoon respectively.

It's on pink paper, and the date/venue info is on the bottom. In front of a cloud on the poster is a silo-like building, and out of the building is an ornamental plume with the bands names on it in a very decorative fashion.
