SPUD #1 is out. Our first diy zine and it comes with fancy vinyl sticker. Illustrations and comics were all pencil on paper this time and we wrote some pieces of text about very relevant topics for the delight of more intellectual readers and those nostalgic. We kept them short, so don't worry

diy zine spud #1 standing next to a chalice, candles and palosanto burning on a bowl. smoke glows through candlelight. decorative fabrics in the same color of the candles give the photo an esoteric charm.

Back and front cover of SPUD. The back says "The reason behind the beauty of this world lies beyond this world". Six hands seem to be part of a seal. On the front cover, those same hands have grown monstrous: has the seal been broken?

3 copies of SPUD #1 plus 2 vinyl stickers that feature 2 dark magicians with closed hands as in prayer. A pink spot that seems a sun crowns them and below the figures the word SELKIEPUKA.

One of the comics featured in SPUD #1: SUCTION. Something very weird about someone's eye is happening: the character seems to be sucked through their eyehole inside their own skull. Is this even possible?

Inspired by @heavymetalofficial.bsky.social "LOC-TOBER", specifically the prompt "Space Pirate Queen", we first did a sketch and then turned it into a full illustration.

There you go, our space pirate queen and her loyal crew member! Rise above the stars!

#hmloctober #hmloctober2025

Astronaut girl wearing a pirate hat and riding a rocket just the size of her, with a small window from which another crew member is looking and waving the tongue sorta between her legs. As background, there are stars and a full moon.

‼️🚨KICKSTARTER WORKERS ARE ON STRIKE🚨‼️

As of 8am this morning, the workers of Kickstarter United/OPEIU Local 153 are on strike.

WE ARE NOT ASKING FOR A BOYCOTT! Creators and allies, please continue using and supporting the platform.

Kickstarter United is on strike!
We are not asking for a boycott! Creators & Allies: Please continue to support & use the platform
swipe for ways to show your solidarity

Why We're Striking
A codified 4-day work week.
We simply want to protect the way we've been working for over 3.5 years. The 4dww has proven benefits, such as increased productivity and improved employee satisfaction. It's part of what makes Kickstarter a special, innovative place to work.
Fair pay for our lowest-paid workers.
We're fighting for livable minimum salaries for roles that are undervalued by the market but crucial to keeping Kickstarter running. We believe none of our workers should struggle to make ends meet.

some of my entries for this #artefaktober
~ azura

prompt was Ritual Bell. Drawn with pencil, was inspired both by Tibetan Vajra and Lovecraft's Dagon. The handle is more like the Tibetan artefact while the waist has a sort of staring fishlike creatures pattern on it

Daruma doll was the prompt. Drawn with a pencil, this one is kind of rounded and feels like polished stone

Prompt was "coffin - what lies inside?". Drawn with pencil, the open coffin feels like a bathtub made off stone and it's lying on a wet surface, there are ripples where it stands. There is a lid lying on the floor next to it and we can see the figure lying inside, delicate, hands across the chest, wearing a hooded cape

This time, 2 prompts together. "Rabbit foot" and "Magic key". Drawn with pencil, the thick rabbit foot works as keychain. The key head has an intrincated pattern and there are sparks on its tip

Parasola plicatilis or Pleated ink cap. These are so delicate, unlike myself. I simply don't have anymore grace for those that helped the fascists into our government.

P.S. Don't be a Nazi!

Earlier this year, Dr. Jane Goodall sat down for an interview for Brad Falchuk’s new Netflix series, Famous Last Words.

The premise of the series is to interview people on the condition that the interview not air until the subject has passed away.

My entry for #artefaktober for the prompt rabbit foot! Classic character design and posing is not a strong suit of mine, so i tried to incorporate that in the drawing to keep me out of my confort zone.

Greta Thunberg provides the perspective that most western media will not:

It’s not about a few hundred foreign nationals being mistreated by Israel for a few days.

It’s about the #GazaGenocide, deliberate denial of aid, and Israel’s flagrant breaches of international law.

StrictlyChristo 🦋🇺🇦🌻❌👑 @strictlychristo.bsky.social · 3d

Greta Thunberg speaks to the press after being released from illegal detainment in Israel: "I could talk for a very, very long time about our mistreatment and abuses in our imprisonment. Trust me, but that is not the story.”

“Pumpkin Patch”

Watercolor with some fine line pen and a dash of colored pencil. More practice on brushes.

Hope folks are enjoying the shift to fall and everyone gets a chance to get out, pick some pumpkins, and take in some crisp fresh air.

A postcard sized watercolor illustration, lined with ink in places, and with a touch of colored pencil.

The illustration is of a pumpkin patch in the foreground. You can see lines in the earth breaking out the pumpkin plot from something green in the distance. In the background you can see some trees and shrubs in front of blue sky with clouds.

we do mean it when we say that the release of #sora2 is comparable to the invention of the atomic bomb, with the only difference that everyone is encouraged to push the button

This. Is. Why. I. Paint.

"They're trying to convince people they can't do the things they've been doing easily for years - to write emails, to write a presentation. Your daughter wants you to make up a bedtime story about puppies - to write that for you." We will get to the point, she says with a grim laugh, "that you will essentially become just a skin bag of organs and bones, nothing else. You won't know anything and you will be told repeatedly that you can't do it, which is the opposite of what life has to offer. Capitulating all kinds of decisions like where to go on vacation, what to wear today, who to date, what to eat.
People are already doing this. You won't have to process grief, because you'll have uploaded photos and voice messages from your mother who just died, and then she can talk to you via Al video call every day. One of the ways it's going to destroy humans, long before there's a nuclear disaster, is going to be the emotional hollowing-out of people."

We are never going to adapt. We'll never use AI, we'll never see this felony as progress. We'll rather go back offline than join the army of zombies the Technomoloch has summoned to serve its moldy empire. The villains of this world are now out in the open, shameless

Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez said he wants to enshrine the right to abortion in the Constitution, following the example of France, which last year became the first country in the world to take the historic step.

Spain moves to enshrine right to abortion in its Constitution

The premier also wants to amend abortion laws to prevent spread of “misleading” or “inaccurate” information about abortion.
