this is a comic about submission fees

A four panel comic titled, “Submissions.” A small red robot sits at a laptop in all four panels. In the first panel, he says, “formatted correctly… check! Name removed… check!” In the second panel, he says, “submitted during a one hour period in the middle of the night… check!” In the third panel, he says, “hmm… proof of belonging to a dark literary cult. Where did I put that?” In the fourth panel, he says, “wait… submission fee!? $#@! Never mind!”

Part 2.

A two panel comic. In the first panel, a crudely drawn man and woman are visible. The woman points behind the man and says, “at least you weren’t made with AI like that guy.”
In the second panel, we see that behind the man is a horribly misshapen drawing with many fingers that says, “I am in intense pain.” The man looks at the abomination and says, “yeeesh.”

Gods aren’t perfect ✏️

A four panel comic. The same image repeats in each panel, a poorly drawn man and woman speak to each other.
In panel 1, the man says “where am I?” and the woman replies, “don’t worry, you’re in a comic.”
In panel 2, the man says, “how’d I get here?” and the woman replies, “someone dreamed you up. Isn’t that cool?”
In panel 3, the man says “who?” and the woman replies, “The Artist.” The man then says, “is that some kind of god?” and the woman replies, “they create as a god would, so maybe.”
In panel 4, the man says, “where’s my neck?” and the woman replies, “gods aren’t perfect.”

Meguro River with cherry blossoms does not disappoint 🌸

A symmetrical photo of a shallow river flanked by cherry blossom trees near full bloom. Lanterns line the side of the river and a bridge in the distance is packed with people taking photos.

Juggernaut is unstoppable.

A two-panel comic. The first panel shows a very large Juggernaut filling most of the panel and saying, “I am giving up a life of crime to chase my dreams.” In the second panel, he is now wearing a chef’s hat. He says, “and no one can stop me.”

A personal commission I got from @allsorrows.bsky.social last year, inspired by Alfred Hitchcock’s “Stories Not for the Nervous” cover. I wanted a portrait to use instead of a photo for my editing, and Sean made me look way cooler than I ever have in real life. Thank you Sean! 💀🧡

Doc Ock’s greatest creation ❄️

A two panel comic titled “Greatest Creation.” In the first panel, Doc Ock says “now that my arms are complete, it is time for my greatest creation!” In the second panel, he is lying in the snow while his extra arms are making a perfect snow angel.

Unknown beetle posed so perfectly for me while walking across an old road outside Tokyo, Japan.
