Fox News: "I've gotten my hands that AG Bondi said she sent to Gov. Tim Walz. It is strongly worded. The AG calls for the governor to support the men and women of ICE, to repeal the state's sanctuary policies, and to allow the DOJ to access state voter rolls."

This situation is not, in fact, evolving. It’s over. This is not fog of war. It’s “who are you going to believe, me or your lying eyes?”
Q: It doesn't seem like he pulled a weapon at any point. So does that account come from the agent? When does it come out?
BOVINO: This situation is evolving. Those facts will come to light. But let's take a look at the gun.

Let’s be clear: anyone defending the Trump Administration after watching masked, anonymous agents assault a man, pepper spray him, then fire 5+ rounds into his back is irretrievably complicit in political terrorism.

Working on something new that recently got accepted (pitched to Wayward Raven Media).
It'll be part experimental (what isn't from me), part commentary, & hopefully inspiring & eye-opening.
Or people will hate it.
Either way, I'm putting a lot into it.

Shout out to my art prints printer, Dean Morris at ThinkGPC for going above & beyond to make sure I had these new #Chadhiyana prints (after some technical difficulties).
Haven't even posted the artwork yet, but he did such a great job, I had to give him props.

Beholder artwork. Mixed media on watercolor paper.
This is a one-off original and available to claim. Though, I'm planning to balance out the horror with more fantasy work this year. So who knows if others will appear from the Far Realm.

New stickers have arrived! 17 new designs to start off the year.
Now all are 3"! Lots of variety, and a few favourites return.
(Both pics are the same stickers. I just couldn't decide which background I liked better.)

Still my favourite character to write and draw, despite the unintended hiatus...
And there are so many stories of hers I want to be putting out right now. Specifically, right now, in the times we're living in.

Here at Dark Fire Press we love to share all our strange little "accomplishments", like that our comics will now include standard dressing for titles without their own images.
And who knows? This may even be a hint at some coming initiatives...

Every year since 2019, I've kept a physical planner. They help me keep track of everything, from creative works, to shows & plans, to what books I've read & my workouts.
And the cover this year was decorated as such for a reason...
