Woah, pinned post time! I’m Laura Ketcham, an illustrator specializing in horror art, linocut, and mixed media. I’ve worked in the TTRPG scene and create supplemental materials for games as well as editorial pieces. I like fishing and I’m bad at it. Let’s be pals!

Drawings been kinda hard lately so instead I’ve been making mixed media poly clay guys. This one featuring a dog tooth I bought at a late night Baltimore garage sale that I gold leafed lmao

It's little Alex Horne!

Reminder: I'm running a special on pencil portrait commissions to help pay for booktour travel, healthcare, and wedding costs. I've also opened up my weekly drawing giveaways to the general public at just $5! Wow! You can't afford NOT to keep food on my table.

Miyazaki survived the bombing of Utsunomiya as a child. His family escaped in a car, but left a neighbor and her daughter behind to save themselves. Miyazaki regrets this, and said this has stayed with him and shaped his film making. He hopes his audience will learn the courage he lacked in 1945.

Saaame. I think it was marketed as a straightforward horror/monster movie when it isn’t and that led to it being trashed at the time

have been desperately looking for this old erotic Spanish comic I stumbled on almost 10 years ago called "El secreto de Frankenstein" and I'm so happy to report I finally found it
black & white comic panel depicting a sexy, thicc Frankenstein's monster disrobing in 3 different poses - pulling his shirt of his shoulder, seen at an angle; from the front, shirtless, beginning to take his pants off; then almost totally nude as seen from behind. the words at the top read "Strip-tease de Frankenstein..."

Two years of continued and livestreamed genocide following decades of occupation, colonization, ethnic cleansing, and war crimes is sitting heavy in our hearts and souls.

We must continue to fight for liberation beyond fiction. From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free. 🇵🇸

Please, just stop sending me AI videos of Dad. Stop believing I wanna see it or that I'll understand, I don't and I won't. If you're just trying to troll me, I've seen way worse, i'll restrict and move on. But please, if you've got any decency, just stop doing this to him and to me, to everyone even, full stop. It's dumb, it's a waste of time and energy, and believe me, it's NOT what he'd want.
To watch the legacies of real people be condensed down to 'this vaguely looks and sounds like them so that's enough,
, just so
other people can churn out horrible TikTok slop puppeteering them is maddening. You're not making art, you're making disgusting, over-processed hotdogs out of the lives of human beings, out of the history of art and music, and then shoving them down someone else's throat hoping they'll give you a little thumbs up and like it.
Gross. And for the love of EVERYTHING, stop calling it 'the future. Al is just badly recycling and regurgitating the past to be reconsumed. You are taking in the Human Centipede of content, and from the very very end of the line, all while the folks at the front laugh and laugh, consume and consume.

the moomins are great because its like “here is your whimsical children’s adventures, I made it full of melancholic explorations of community and longing, subversive anarchist leanings, and bisexual yearning just like you asked” and some of us DID ask so thank you

Maybe kill the part of yourself that takes it personally when someone is critical of art you love? Because A) they really are just considering the art thru their specific viewpoint and expectations, B) their experience doesn't take away from yours and C) it's fun to think critically about art u like

My wife was a fan of her previous music and tried the new album as soon as it came out, I heard lots of ‘ews’ and ‘what??’s as she listened through it. “For someone who’s built her brand on being a good lyricist, it felt like it was written by chatgpt…and really failed to read the room!”

Requiem for a titan. 🖤 Days are getting shorter here, life in the garden is seeping away. This ancient monster had been flying around in shattered wings for days, visiting flowers, the last of her kind, instantly recognizable to me for how she moved. Yesterday I found her husk. Well done, love. 💔
