its a skill to be able to parse someone's candlestick factory of untied shoes, but i also try not to buy a bag of chips with hundreds of loose pennies, nobody wants to be cranky, even if they're a coin-collector at heart

i have committed such crimes merely out of fear of getting notes on any particular choice i have made, so leaving everything hanging in mid-document. now i try to simplify, consolidate, label. except when it's for my personal work, then i am allowed to punish myself with a layerfuck of bullshit.

i put on sunglasses and a headband and felt exposed at every street i crossed (on bicycle) but i did manage to acquire food(s) and exhale when i got back home. It was a terror, slogging through an absolute sun-drenched miasma with No help

i am in favor of october drawing challenges but i recommend you ask yourself what dracula would do if challenged to draw per prompt, the answer is: It'd take a Terrible Nap and then be an Elegant Menace, privately

im no authority, but they're Likely, and i've heard rumblings, going all the way to the top (talking heads on podcasts speaking with certainty). What can i say, i'd like them to be a thing we hear about more often (since they're probly there)

now that we've found the ark but apparently aliens are underwater, lets cancel all the space stuff and actually explore the sea completely, is that too much to ask, or are you scared of how funky the guys are down there

big fan but the guy could've left his tons of extra paint tubes to youth groups, the amount of red, black and white murals in community centers might've rivaled his time at the WPA

my suspicion is that people had neither the language nor the weapons to argue with persecution, and we still haven't balanced that out properly

pretty warped that an institutional step happening anywhere between the "manuscript" and the publisher is part of their dicta, when the lack of such an Assembly Line was what made "graphic novels" exist in the first place, to escape predatory business practices
