“You can’t put lightning in a bottle, you have to put it right in your mouth.” #fattrewind

An acrylic paint illustration of Lyke from Friends at the Table in the syle of the Rider-Waite tarot deck. Lyke stands in the middle of an unkempt rosebush. He has cut his left hand with the ritual knife, and holds it out to drip blood onto one of the white roses. The bush wraps around his left forearm. His right hand holds the knife to his mouth, and he is licking the blood off of it. The knife also drips blood into the mouth of a fairly tame-looking ravening beast, a black doglike creature that is about as tall as Lyke's waist. Lyke stares at the viewer with eyes that look like they are on fire. Above his head is the infinity symbol like on the Magician tarot card. Off to the right, behind or maybe on the rosebush, fire burns. Below the scene serif text reads "LYKE."

one thing that i like about bluesky is that nobody uses it. like my friends aren't on here and basically nobody follows me. i don't have to feel embarrassed that i'm on fake twitter scrolling at 4am and ignoring my friends and family because it's in the privacy of a website where nobody can see me

Secret Samol 2020. Figure A redesign for this one lol #fattrewind

Digitally illustrated comic. Panel 1: Figure A sits in a room and looks at screens, holding a ring. Panel 2: Leap walks past the door to the room and say "Hey, Figure A! First mate! You busy?" Panel 3: Reverse shot. Figure A says "I am unoccupied, idle, available. Why do you ask?" Panel 4: Leap: "Great. Do you want a pirate hat or something?" Panel 5: Leap, contd.: "I, uh, "found" a bunch of clothes & stuff and I figured since we're pirates now we should look the part." Panel 6: Leap puts his hands in the hoodie pockets. "If you're interested." Panel 7: Figure A stands up from the desk. Figure A: "I would like a hat or something." Panel 8: Leap: "Awesome. I've got it all in the other room over here." Panel 9: Leap enters another room full of messy clothes spilling out of a treasure chest. The clothes cross over the border of the panel into a montage of Figure A trying on different outfits while Leap watches; they try on a vest and sash, a fancy blue jacket, a hat with a feather paired with a bandana around their neck, and a black jacket with a headband tied around their head.

Figure A stands in front of a mirror. They say: "I think I am just going to keep the bandana." From off screen, Leap says: "It's a great look!" Figure A replies, "It is."

guaranteed events from the twilight mirage fanzine. i was like, trying to echo the three vignettes structure with the panels thing... it was also like some of the first digital art i ever did. also this was pre physical description of figure a lol #fattrewind

Digital illustration of one scene, split into three panels, depicting Crystal Palace from Twilight Mirage. The structure is a mish-mash of art deco and gothic styles, with big stained glass walls covered in a mix of tecnology from different eras (dials, tapes, knobs, speakers, printers, circuit boards, etc). Big cords are plugged directly into the glass. Large weights, like in a church bell tower, hang from the ceiling. A staircase winds through the bottom two panels, and in the lowest panel at the bottom of the staircase, a humanoid robotic ficure (figure A) sits strapped in a chair looking at screens. Next to Figure A, a printer prints out a seismograph, which warps into a bluebird at the very bottom of the long sheet of paper.

i had to search my old art folder for this one but i still like it. it's teasel #fattrewind

a drawing of teasel mode from the road to partizan. she is a deer person with light brown skin, pale blue spots, and glowing blue glass antlers attatched over her nubby antlers. she is wearing a blue dress with a cape and teal thigh high socks. there is no background. vague magic-y shapes are coming from one hand.

Why would a recipe ever tell me to use a small onion. The onion size should always be my own choice, and I choose large onion

I know most of you who follow me are aware of BDS, but I also know a few of you who have bought Doom or are on Game Pass etc and I’d really like you to consider stopping giving MS your money as much as possible. BDS is provoking a response. It matters.

In an executive order, Trump targeted the Smithsonian and the National Museum of African American History & Culture suggesting that it is “divisive” and pedaling “improper ideology.”

So, I took a trip back to the museum, and what I saw was a place trying to tell the unvarnished truth about America.

What It Means to Tell the Truth About America

And what happens when empirical fact is labeled “improper ideology”

It's times like this that I'm glad I developed a safe, marketable skill like cartooning. Pretty much recession-proof, always in demand, wages constantly growing, has strong health and retirement plans. I could go on.

i keep reading statements from democrats saying they find mahmoud khaleil's views to be abhorrent and despicable before going on to say that he should nonetheless be given due process. but no one has been able to demonstrate what khaleil's views are beyond the admin's assertions. except for cnn:
