saw someone claim the ataris' cover of boys of summer was better than don henley's because it was higher energy and angrier. isn't it amazing how many ways there are to be wrong in this world

if i don’t see you there, then i’ll meet you in the end

drawing of a barren landscape and a character from the personal project i’m working on. JD is sitting on a black sand shore with his back to us. the black sand takes a lot of space in the picture, with just a thin line of gray water and gray sky. JD is wearing a blue jacket and is smoking a cigarette. there’s a thin white line coming from the cigarette. it does a leap and ends up by a very small silhouette of another human on the horizon.

drawing of a barren landscape and a character from the personal project i’m working on. the sand is white here, and the sky is black and takes a lot of space in the picture. Rylan is standing with their back to us, wearing full body gear from their job. it’s all white and seems to be made of silicone. they’re carrying a tool from their job with them too. it looks like a big hook with a long handle. there are seven stars forming a semi-circle above them, and one of the stars is blue and has a long tail. a thin white line starts at the hook Rylan is holding, does a leap that resembles an infinity symbol, and ends where the blue star’s tail ends.

I had some folks come up to me during the convention and mention my "toning" guide and how it has helped them over the years. It's not the most comprehensive, and prepress pals should look away, but it's for those interested in how I separate my tones into steps. chanchauart.com/blog/2022/6/...

I'm very please to announce a public release of my drag-and-drop bookmarking, game-making, and wandering tool Scrubjay! Scrubjay is a weird website builder that lets you cobble together web elements, images, links, text fragments, etc into a series of nested rooms...

"SCRUBJAY" sits over a bunch of images of frogs, birds, doors. it's a very 90s look

as a child I would always hear my mother speaking spanglish on the phone with her family and I never understood why until recently, when I have learned german well enough that sometimes that's just the first word I find.

My next book, Comfort Read, is out October 8th! It's a queer fake dating romcom full of heart and feelings and a bookstore cat and people (but never cats) making fools of themselves. I'm awful at talking about my books so here some of the early reviews in which other people talk about it instead 😄

I always end up feeling self-conscious talking about fandom things on social media unless I have a dedicated fandom account. but then I never use it because I frankly don't devote that much of my time or attention to fandom anymore. usually.

13: [mud daubers’] nest #swordtember

you know mud daubers? they look like wasps on a diet. and they build their nests out of mud, and those (sometimes?) look like thin pipes with holes. like flutes. so this is a drawing of a sword that’s ‘made’ out of these thin pipes. yes, it looks weird as heck. yes, it gives me the creeps. no, i do not care, this one is my favourite now.
