We used to think about the rental market as an actual functioning market where landlords compete with one another for tenants. What it has actually become is a cartel where landlords compete en bloc with all other potential uses for a person’s income, even food.

Happy Book Birthday to Iron Man: Super Smash! This was so fun to write! It has so many of my favorite things. Giant monsters! An enormous robot suit! The Hulk! And @douglasholgate.bsky.social totally knocked it out of the park on the art, every page is a delight. So happy this is out in the world!

The full illustration I did for @taplingzines.bsky.social "We've Always Been Here" The zine depicts queer couples throughout cultures and history and I had the honours of portraying a Japanese lesbian couple in an underground bar during the 80s✨ #queer #lesbians #illustration

A digital illustration of two japanese lesbians flirting in a queer underground bar in the 80s. One of them wears a blue jacket, the other a suit, while in the background there's liquor and a multitude of little stickers and illustrations of lesbian and queer marks.

Days late to #portfolioday. My name is Douglas - I'm a comic book artist and cartoonist, predominantly working in middle grade publishing from Australia. Work includes the NYT bestselling Last Kids On Earth series. And currently the Marvel Team Up: Iron Man series. I'm pretty middle aged and tired.

Cover illustrations for Iron Man Super Smash. Iron Man flies at the camera as Hulk smashes a cliff face and Fin Fang Foom rises from the earth!

Cover to Last Kids On Earth and the Destructor's Lair. Jack with his monstrous arm, eyes glowing stands in a cloak, powering up and ready to fight.

Cover for Big Trouble with Angry Chairs. Maddie Claire and Dad surrounded by an uprising of chomping chairs as lighting strikes and Angry Chicken Roars.

Albo might have been an underwhelming dud...but at least he wasn't 20 minutes of rambling fantasy, contradiction, ahistorical nonsense and global threats of annihilation.

Killers of the Flower Moon: A Formal Feeling

In this true-crime epic, Martin Scorsese combines his career-long exploration of amoral gangsterism with a sobering meditation on what it means to live on American soil.

A trip to South Africa about 8 years ago saw Giraffes and Elephants (and a bunch of other things) in the wild and it was actually astonishing how much bigger and more powerful they are, than what we're used to seeing at a Zoo or just in our heads.

From Hunter S. Thompson’s ESPN page 2 column one week after 9/11.

We are At War now, according to President Bush, and I take him at his word. He also says this War might last for "a very long time."
Generals and military scholars will tell you that eight or 10 years is actually not such a long time in the span of human history - which is no doubt true - but history also tells us that 10 years of martial law and a wartime economy are going to feel like a Lifetime to people who are in their twenties today. The poor bastards of what will forever be known as Generation Z are doomed to be the first generation of Americans who will grow up with a lower standard of living than their parents enjoyed.
That is extremely heavy news, and it will take a while for it to sink in. The 22 babies born in New York City while the World Trade Center burned will never know what they missed. The last half of the 20th century will seem like a wild party for rich kids, compared to what's coming now. The party's over, folks.

In this struggle session I admit it. I lived in Sydney from 1987 to 99 between the ages of 11 and 20. I was also at the 1996 Grand Final sitting with family friends who were Swans supporters. I am an Essendon supporter by my birth mother...I have drawn a penguin.

Benito is a threat b/c he makes art so alluring and enjoyable you want to understand everything about it and then you end up learning about sugar and slavery and colonialism and the Taínos and Hawaii and then you probably have some thoughts of your own, and that's why art is powerful and dangerous

It feels worth saying that the thing that unifies men as disparate as Noam Chomsky, Deepak Chopra and Trump is patriarchy. Patriarchy, hatred of women, and the need to dominate them, persists across race and class status. Left movements refuse a robust analysis of persisting gender violence.

ICE are abducting toddlers and using them as bait. They murdered a mother of 3 and executed a VA ICU nurse. They're beating, pepper spraying, and gassing US citizens protesting their actions. When is it enough? This needs to end immediately.

Oh I like that! Also think (and this is part of the point of Franklin's post for me) is that genre can be and is great story infrastructure to actually start expressing your interior design sense (to keep with the furniture metaphor!).
