Another recent piece in my Weirdie series! This might be the weirdest of them all. Meet Mac, a young entrepenuer working their way up in the field of bioengineering. Mac was convinced their worm-regen hybrid serum was revolutionary, but it still has some issues... #art #illustration #drawing #scifi

Drawing of a part worm, part human mutation named Mac.

Hey all blue sky art followers! Sorry I have been absent but Meta just killed my account even though I was hacked... So great! Anyways, I've been working on some new #scifi influenced personal works called Weirdies. This is the first one, Wren, an ageless wonder that defied death many times! #art

Here's a new personal art / illustration piece continuing an exploration of surrealist landscapes, portals, and music. I don't often have the time to work on stuff like this, but I chipped away at it and I am super pleased with how it turned out. #art #illustratuon

I have been lucky enough to have a stream of freelance work lately. The most notable work has been for @thebaltimorebanner.com - great to work for a local publication that I respect. Here's a piece I did for their coverage of the Montgomery County elections #art #illustration

Evening weirdie drawing in pen and ink. Drawing with little intention. A form of meditation. Life is heavy these days, but doing this brings me joy and I will cherish it. #art #drawing

it's been a rough start to the week personally. I haven't had a moment to sit and just be that often, and when I do have that moment - it's usually full of tears. That being said - I have found a moment right now to listen to music. Thanks for this Anika www.youtube.com/watch?v=0qrN...

The expanded financial aid plan will also offer free tuition to families that make $200,000 or less. The move comes after affirmative action was barred from the admissions process.

“A Different World” (1987 NBC) is now on Netflix, and the HD upscale is... not good. The show was shot and mastered on video in 4:3. The version on Netflix is cropped to 16:9, and has significant ML sharpening and odd softening. The show looks both over-crisp and gauzy/dreamy. 1/

And as a reminder, the best practice is to spend money LOCALLY. Keep your money in your community and spend it on your neighbors. Baltimore has an embarrassment of riches in terms of great local shops, restaurants, cafes, etc. They deserve your money; Bezos et al do not.

My newest comic is up today! It's a review of @lizpelly.bsky.social 's Mood Machine which I have been talking about non-stop since I read it. You can read the whole thing here: midbrow.org/reasons-why-...

weird lizard dolphin guy pours box of "okay stuff" into a fantastical machine called the "enshittifier 2000", a single turd emerges

text: Lately I have this feeling that there is a great machine that takes everything in the world and makes it worse.

Main text: I have hated Spotify for many years because they barely pay most artists and because they basically reinvented payola.

Spotify man: Hey pay me for playlist placement!

Pink guy: isn't that illegal?

Spotify man: not on the internet >:)

Pink guy reading a copy of Mood Machine: "Mood Machine: The Rise of Spotify and the Costs of the Perfect Playlist by Liz Pelly taught me that there is actually so much more to hate about these guys."

Main text: Pelly lays out the story of how a Swedish ad-tech company swallowed the music industry with the help of major labels.

Classic monopoly man style robber baron in suit covered in music notes walks arm and arm with spotify man carrying big sacks of cash.

Spotify man: "we're using technology to rig the market in innovative new ways!"
Major label monopoly man: "haha yay :)"
