5 days left to support one of Netcrawl’s artists. The best part of being able to commission art is the connection you make with another creative. I don’t like idiots as much as the next introvert/misanthrope, but I can’t understand the mentality that doesn’t want to collaborate with other people.

One of Netcrawl’s big influences. Love this film.

DIO @danielirizarri.bsky.social · 1d

I think what's impressive about TRON is that, visually, it's still so much more interesting than any of it's sequels. It's crazy that they tried update this digital world by making it as 'realistically rendered' as possible. It's a complete misunderstanding of the original's charm.

James Pozenel @lectrotext.bsky.social · 1d

Love this thread. This first film was a big part of the mood board for Netcrawl a table top RPG about adventuring in the net.

James Pozenel @lectrotext.bsky.social · 1d

I thought your hovering motion/heat detecting intelligent drone missiles in Song Call Youth series was absolutely terrifying. In that great sci-fi kind of way.

For the Momento Mori Kickstarter I'm offering the opportunity to collaborate on a one page comic as one of the reward tiers. I'll work with you to write and draw a one pager about anything at all!

www.kickstarter.com/projects/shi...

A one page comic with 8 panels: 1- a guy saying "This could be you!". 2- the caption "I'll collaborate with you to make a one page comic!" with a character gesturing with a lightbulb over their hands as the guy draws on a tablet. 3- the Caption "It could be action packed!" over a super hero. 4- Caption "Or saoked in romance!" over two characters kissing. 5- caption "Or spooky horror" over a face with red eyes and jagged teeth. 6- Caption "or autobio/slice of life..." over two characters talking. 7- the guy from panel 1 pointing at a comic page saying "either way, when it's done you'll have a one-page comic!" 8- Caption "suitable for publishing as a mini-comic!" over a minicomic with "Your Comic!!" on the cover.

A promo card for the One Page Comic Collaboration tier of the Memento Mori kickstarter.

The new compilation has five years worth of cartoons because over the past five years no publisher I approached was interested. Admittedly I mostly gave up, I had some other stuff I was dealing with. Still, I do love waking up in the morning and seeing all the support this thing is getting.
