I had a conversation w a Lyft driver a few weeks ago that I still think about. I hope this musician, eager to share her art, finds her way to teaching. While the conversation started rocky, Im glad she got an opportunity to talk about her ambitions. Piano teachers are way more valuable than A.I.

Aster and the Fire #AATF updated today! In today's update: GRIND NVR STOPS (unless it's work, lol) asterandthefire.com/comic/chapte... #spiderforest #webcomic #webcomics
Panel from the webcomic Aster and the Fire. Kai is on the right side, staring angrily at an offscreen Naomi, represented by an angry chibi head of herself. Important detail: Kai has a shirt on that says "GRIND NVR STOPS." 

The dialogue reads as follows:
KAI: You just get paid to boss us around.
NAOMI (in chibi form): EXCUSE ME?!

FYI, from Toocheke. They added a Tapas migration feature.
A screenshot of an email that says

Import Your Tapas.io Comics Into WordPress
You may have seen the news about Tapas shutting down. If you or anyone you know publish there, you’re probably wondering what happens to all of your comics and years of work.

We’ve just added a new import feature to Toocheke Companion (available in version 2.23+) that can move an entire Tapas series into WordPress for you — including episodes, images, thumbnails, and original publish dates.

It keeps everything in order, so you don’t have to manually copy and paste hundreds of pages.

I think it might be time to update my "Escape Pod" site template to add comics so artists can host their own comics for free like I do. No strings attached. No evil hosting platforms. Take it wherever you want. iskotaa.com/blog/2025-10...

Create your own free & portable website (for non-techies)
Astro is easy for anyone to set up, and hosting static files is often free, so you don't need to spend a lot to curate your presence on the web.

Cool fact for people who dont know much about horses. Some horses are selectively bred to have a hereditary Gait-Keeper Gene, A mutation that controls limb coordination and literally changes how a horse can move. This video, aside from showing how fast thoroughbreds are, shows different breed gaits.

I spent a total of 648 hours in photoshop working on this. That doesnt even include the absurd amount of research and reference gathering I had to do. I put together a pretty dense collection of the process for all this if you're interested too. A LOT of lessons learned

Gargantuan illustration of a charizard redesigned in the style of a monster hunter elder dragon. There are 4 hunters attacking him and their pikapalico is readying a voltorb bomb to throw. There is so much stuff in there, I spent a damn year on this. I'm exhausted.

Panel from the webcomic Aster and the Fire. Naomi is showing Aster the break room that the Wolayta Shipping Co. uses. Kai is popping up from behind the couch with a pissed off expression. The dialogue reads as follows: 
Naomi: This is the breakroom. Don’tuse the mini fridge-Kai is territorial about his energy drinks. Or whatever. 
Kai: It’s peptide shakes and it’s my fridge. MINE!!!
Aster: Okay…

I think another lesson to take from the loss of both Dolly and Tim Curry is that neither of them took themselves seriously but they took the work dead serious that's the most important thing pour all of yourself into the craft but have fun and don't get an ego.

If you see this, post your art with marginalia! The first scene of Chapter 2 of my webcomic, Aster and the Fire #AATF, is comprised of pages with borders, like a children’s storybook. Each border is unique to the page! I’m still super proud of this work.

Aster and the Fire #AATF has updated! In today's update: chekov's boomerang hits Aster square in the face asterandthefire.com/comic/chapte... #spiderforest #webcomic #webcomics
Series of panels from the webcomic Aster and the Fire. In the first two panels, Mikael looks at Aster, commenting "Oh...you're really here..." in surprise. In the last panel, Aster stares back fearfully, suddenly remembering that she used magic in front of Mikael when she really REALLY wasn't supposed to. The background depicts the events of that magic use from Chapter 1.
