this era of trump destroying every institution in the name of being anti-woke and ending DEI will usher in an even more woke era than ever thought possible

I make my art for myself. Covering my walls in it brings me joy.

This is a very good visual for how talking about artists helps us. If you’ve commissioned, bought from or worked with an artist, please talk about it. It helps us a lot.

This is lovely and true but it's wild how many posts here are now "wow! I had no idea a social network could help me socialise digitally". We are beaten dogs, barely used to being treated with dignity online

These comics I drew last year sum up how I'm feeling today

4 panel comic.

P1: My cartoon self, stood in the bottom left of the frame, staring at a phone while let from above with a spotlight. The background is entirely black. Test reads: "Sometimes, I like to depress myself by looking up property prices."

P2: POV has shifted to a first person view of what my character is staring at on the screen. It's a property website called "Habitalism." Increasingly terrible properties are displayed, all way too expensive.

P3: My cartoon self, floating in the black void, positioned diagonally, from bottom left to top right. Test reads: "I am an adult, yet I still feel aimless."

P4: A lone grave, the headstone has my cartoon self's face carved on it, with the phrase "RIPiss" above it. The text reads: "Ah well... sure, eventually, I'll have four walls to call my own."

Four panel comic.

P1: A simplified drawing of my cartoon self, stood before a white background and staring directly at the reader.

P2: A large blocky "THINGS" comes flying in from the right of the panel, hitting cartoon self's head.

P3: Now the word "KEEP" comes shooting out from the bottom left of the frame, hitting cartoon self's head from underneath, causing them to recoil.

P4: The word "HAPPENING" comes raining down all at once, burying my character.

Four panel comic.

P1: My cartoon self, sliding down a slope. The slope is split up into multiple chunks, each representing a decade of life. 0 to 10, 10 to 20, 20 to 30, etc. Each chunk, while representing an equal amount of time, is smaller than the last. Text reads: "I'm now on the slippery slope to 50."

P2: Cartoon self, stretched out like taffy. Text reads: "My thirties, in particular, feel like a lost decade. Gone as soon as it began."

P3: Cartoon self dominates the right of frame, as they look back at younger versions of themself. Text reads: "I look back, and think: was that it?"

P4: Borderless panel. Cartoon self stands at the bottom left, back to us, dwarfed by the blank of the page to their right. They stare at a few stray leaves blowing to the right. Text reads: "I look forward, and think:"

"Ghost" remains one of those short comics I did that just clicked right away. Maybe the most melancholy Seconds To Midnight story, but still a goodie.

Taking some quick commissions right now for some end-of-the-month expenses, here's some examples of what my quick work looks like. If you have a character you'd like me to draw, it's $20 for black and white, $30 for limited color palettes, $40 for unlimited color palette.

They still think we want to “debate” them to learn their viewpoints. No! We know your viewpoints already because you won’t stfu about them and they are off-putting

A comic about making comics (the alt text took longer to write than the comic did to draw * I drew this a few years ago)

A 14 panel comic, a top tier of five panels shows a drawing of me, and in each of the subsequent panels the drawing of me gets simpler and simpler, with a cartoony drawing, a crude cartoon, then a stick man, then a smily face then a simple blob. Each time I'm saying "Hi"
Tier two, panel one, the smiley face is sad and saying "PJ! I can't draw!" "How can I make comics"
Panel 2, me as a simple cartoon "Oh that's ok, comics work..."
panel 3, me as a very crudely drawn figiure my head tilted at a funny angle and Im saying "No matter your skill level"
Panel 4 more simplistic drawing of me holding a ruler "As long as you can (sorta) draw a straight line " "(I use a ruler)"
Panel 5 even more simple drawing "And a bubble"
next (final) tier
Panel 1
A simple circle with two dots for eyes and a small line for a mouth and a balloon coming from his mouth saying "People can be quite forgiving about the artwork"
Panel 2 the round simple face meets a spikey simple face, spikey says "I'm not - I like GOOD artwork" me - "Oh"
Panel 3 me (still a smiley face, but straight line mouth ) I have two stick arms raised up with little stick fingers and I'm saying "...Sorry..."
Spike says "Bah"
Panel 4 (last panel) Me, slightly better drawn (but only just) "OK - not everyone is quite forgiving about art" "BUT I AM" "Good luck!"

I started playing Morrowind again and, man, what a good game. I'm playing a Battle-Mage and the magic system of this game is really special. And with the Atronarch sign preventing me from naturally regaining MP, I'm really engaging with all the games systems to find solid workarounds.

create ------------------ bonus comics: patreon.com/nhoj

4 panel comic

P1: a right hand draws a wavy stroke on a sketchbook page. A caption box up top reads "draw"

P2: the word "CREATE" dominates a panel with a black background, forming in the negative space. Various small shapes surround it.

P3: a lone simplified humanoid figure is on the bottom right of a another panel with a black background. A thought bubble forms above their head, the words "if not for others, then at least for yourself" within.

P4: The Earth dominates the bottom of the panel, with a sliver of space above it. Clouds swirl and boil across the Earth, which is the only element on the entire page coloured a pink-red. A caption box above reads "now, more than ever"
