The fact that there's a cool-looking TRON sequel, with a killer soundtrack, in theaters now and--due to one piece of casting--I have ZERO desire to see it is not a thing I would've predicted.

Sigh.

They know a lot of little-known facts about them and tell everyone at every opportunity. They also believe that pokeballs can be made from basically any container, and so make them out of a bunch of different things they find around the house.

Last month’s Art Corner prompt: draw an OC for a show you’re not on within the Airtime for Nonsense collective! I chose the Pokémon #TTRPG show, Late Starters. The idea of this character is that #Pokémon are their SPECIAL INTEREST.
1/2

An illustration of an original Pokémon character in a baggy blue hoodie, with a backwards cap on and glasses that are catching the light so you can't see their eyes. The character is stomping boldly forward, a joyful expression on their face and a pokeball-coloured jar in their hand. They're surrounded by other containers coloured as pokeballs: a boot, a lunchbox, a carton, a bag, a cassette case, and a baby bottle.

Yup, it’s a day job kind of day with evening art work. But thank you! I’m trying to stay loose with it so it’s good that it’s reading that way.

The cool thing about working on a graphic novel is every step of the process involves fantasizing about going back in time and killing your past self with your bare hands until you start to disappear like Marty McFly

Super stoked to finally have print copies of my Moon Beans short comic! Copies now available in my online store.

iddstar-shop.fourthwall.com/products/moo...

A hand holding a physical copy of the lavender-coloured mini comic, Moon Beans, the cover art features the title and both main characters, a blonde barista and a curly-haired woman with a werewolf tail, both holding a takeout coffee cup while looking at each other fondly.

A hand holding the physical Moon Beans comic book to a random page, where we can see panels filled with werewolf action all in a cute lavender-coloured monochromatic palette. In the background are more copies of the Moon Beans book.

In my experience there are three kinds of fantasy magic novels:

"There are three kinds of magic," said Wizzler, handing us each a balloon. "You can control tigers, you can shoot tornadoes from your fingers, or you can fly by holding your breath. The color of confetti inside your balloon will reveal which kind of power you have."
I felt the panic rising in me. What if my confetti turned yellow, indicating that I was a Tiger-Talker? My family, a long line of proud Tornado-Fingers, would disown me. Could I ever return home, bearing such shame?
I tried to calm myself as I readied the ceremonial safety pin. Green, I thought, willing my hopes into reality. Please be green.
I popped the balloon, involuntarily shutting my eyes. When I opened them, would I see the green I hoped for? The yellow I feared? What if, gods forbid, the confetti were blue?
I opened my eyes, seeing shock on the faces of my classmates. Wizzler himself stared at me, wide-eye. Looking down, I saw myself covered in confetti... purple confetti.

“I don’t understand,” I growled, my body trembling with pain. “I combined eighty percent Earth-elemental mana with twenty percent Fire-elemental mana (Type B), focused through a twenty-four-sided icositetragon made of yellow topaz. This, in conjunction with my blood type, star sign, sense of humor, and nickname, should have produced a blazing column of lightning to vaporize my enemies. Instead, it made a big bubble that smells like fresh laundry. Why?”
Skullgrumbler began to laugh. “You fool! You don’t even realize…” he squealed. “You’re facing east!”

“It’s whatever you want,” explained Magemaster Grampledog. “Magic is just whatever you want.”
I knew he was speaking in riddles, but I couldn’t grasp his hidden meaning. “So the rules are…”
Grampledog lit a sliver of smokereed. “No rules. You say some words and you wave a stick and whatever you want just happens. You don’t even need the stick.”
His wisdom still eluded me. I stared into his face, trying to decipher what he was really saying.
“No, listen.” Grampledog snapped his fingers and his desk turned into a pile of chicken nuggets. “I didn’t even know that would happen.” His hat then came alive and began to yodel.
“It’s pandemonium,” he explained. “It’s complete nonsense.”
