Can not wait to see what nonsense Marnie’s mom is up to these days.

On Indigenous Peoples Day, @jamesjbaratta.bsky.social reports on a NYC showing of Leonard Peltier's artwork, which he must do to raise money, because after 50 years in prison he's still restricted to home confinement and has a $300/mo Social Security pension otherwise. prospect.org/2026/10/12/l...

For the movies all the orcs and creatures had black blood because having so much hacking and splattering with red blood would have bumped the rating up to pg-13🤷

The Watcher in the Water is Tolkien at his pulpiest, the balrogs are almost Miltonian nightmares.

Felt like drawing some nasties: the Watcher under the water, and the balrog.

Trump got his start in the seventies exploiting a desperate New York city government to build apartments and hotels for the wealthy. The man and his cohort’s entire view of government is to take anything they can from, so now that they’re in charge of it, the whole country is up for grabs.

okay two things; first: can not wait to see! secondly that Aragorn looks like Jeffrey Combs

These guys have gotten so boring, at least propose a global AI-dictator based on the brains of all living billionaires or something.

Don’t think I ever posted this piece I did to figure out how to draw Redwoods for The Everything Trail by @megosphere.bsky.social

A drawing of massive redwood trees with beams of light hitting them like in a vast cathedral, a path snaking through the ferns with two kids running.

Young Conan: child of the wheel. Gave myself a break for some fun drawing, and had Basil Poledouris’ Conan score on at the gym all week, so this was inevitable.

Prior to Trump (and memory-holed), Hastert was once the highest-ranking example of a central tenet of conservative thought and governance, supported by both GOP electeds and the GOP electorate: Children should be abused by men, and politics should be conducted to make it easier for men to do so.

We're not suffering a breakdown of the social fabric because we've lost the ability to have reasonable disagreements with each other; we've lost the ability to have reasonable disagreements because some people are trying to deliberately rend the social fabric.

A not insignificant reason for the global resurgence of fascism is that there is a sizeable segment of the population who are just arseholes.

Watched Mārama last night, an absolute nightmarish gem of colonialist gothic horror from New Zealand. I think it was @scumbelievable.bsky.social who recommended it a while ago, because she knows what’s good.

Doodled some pumpkins while leading toddler art class at the library this morning, but nothing I’ve painted really compares to this girl’s accidental bird in flight.

Wouldn’t be able to publish them? They’re self published, you can release them no matter how bad they look!

Feels like complaining water is wet, but this looks so deeply unmagical. Animation has the power to go beyond literal depiction, to engage your imagination. This however looks as staid and prosaic as videogame animation.

Speaking of which I still sometimes think about the American couple I saw having a fight on the subway who got so angry he just got off at a random spot. I wonder if they ever found each other.

From my limited perspective in picture books, there has been a wonderful increase in diversity (in styles and voices) over the past few years. But at the same time I think it’s become harder to maintain a career over the long run.

The past ten years have shown how little their narratives actually mean, pushing Rahm is a desperate attempt to maintain some control over what we’re allowed to talk about and who’s allowed to say those things.

I know the publishing companies loved having his name on things to sell more books, but I also can’t help but think he wanted to be attached and associated with all these classics, etc.
