Okay. So. I've seen this video before. I've heard the song before. They just... hit harder today.

I'm so tired.

#FallForMe

$Digital drawing. In a city of ice, there are burning cathedrals Turning the skies into glass And through echoing futures are the buckling sutures That hold shut the wounds of the past So won't you fall for me? Won't you fall for me? Through a fractured existence, won't you fall for me? Won't you fall for me, from reality? To the rhythm of eternity, won't you fall for me? My insecurities surround me like lions in the den And I feel like I'm losing touch with what I am again Slowly, I remember why I cannot pretend That I never think of you in all this screaming silence (Oh God, I wish you were here) So won't you fall for me? Won't you fall for me? Through a fractured existence, won't you fall for me? Won't you fall for me, from reality? To the rhythm of eternity, won't you fall for me? (Oh God, I wish you were here) Won't you fall for me? Won't you fall for me? With my love as your garden, won't you fall for me? Won't you fall for me, from reality? I am yours in the end, so won't you fall for me? The truth is I am due a harsh lesson, In truth itself and how bitter it can be. Will you teach me? The truth is, I am ugly, I am inadequate, I am lost. I am no God. The truth is, I want, to want, to live. And so do you. I just can't do this any longer. I am afraid, Are you afraid I want to understand what it is to let go. So for now let me serve as a living drama of your pain. If we are to be submerged then let us be submerged together.$

Oh, yeah, well, I have a NYCC annoucement;

I've got no comic projects other than my own in the works. Zero. Nothing.

cara.app/onegemini

So, hire me for your comics! Covers! Sequentials! Heck, writing!

Because... I don't know how to do anything else.

Why are the AI ‘art’ accounts so bad? Gifted with infinite power and free of the chains of the art elite you evaporate acquifers in Utah for dogshit Wacky Races fan art. For the love of Dick Dastardly, don’t follow me, AI ‘artists’.

This is accurate.

My last convention had a similar thing repeatedly happen; people SURPRISED I was the artist of the things I was selling. In Artist Alley. With my name and occupation on TWO SIGNS and my picture on one.

They thought I was just selling random books and comics. :(

Marco Finnegan @marcofinnegan.bsky.social · 22h

When you tell people you write/draw comics the response is as follow:
As a hobby?
No
Oh-so like for money?
Yes
Can anyone do that?
Yes
Do you know Stan Lee?
No

D'aw. Thanks.

I come from a musical family. The whole making comics thing is a fluke.

Blair Shedd @onegemini.com · 23h

Thanks. And I think the only way I can get through it (cos of length) is to think of it as a piece from a musical. Makes it seem shorter than it is. lol

Thank them for me. :)

But don't get your hopes up. My backing track was too quiet at first so I blow the mid section timing a bit until I fix it. lol

...this is not a flattering angle. I feel sorry for my shorter-than-me wife. :(

Blair Shedd @onegemini.com · 23h

I did it, @weredawgz.blacksky.app.

Took 3 takes to get a once-through. lol Not my best voice day, but I put some reverb on it and it's okay. No auto-tune. Just me.

During a military-style raid on a building in Chicago’s South Shore, one resident heard a knock on his door.   It wasn’t the feds — it was a mom and her 7-year-old daughter, pleading for help.

He let them hide in his unit for the next 3 days.
