Appreciate it, but a problem I have is that I compulsively fill whatever space I work on.

Got to ssee Children at an Exhumed Films double feature ages ago, it was weird after only seeing it on a small black and white TV as a kid. Just rewatched Shockwaves recently, another one that scared the sweat outta me as a kid on TV.

My drawing hand's not doing well so it's all old rerun art for Halloween this year. I really want to work on some new horror movie art before too long. Bleagh.

Drawing done of Nola Carveth and her brood children from the movie The Brood. Drawn in blue and red pencil with some lines darkened with a regular drawing pencil.

Gonna laminate this skeet and send it to all my friends 🖤🖤🖤🥰 Put "the horniest thing I've ever read - The Evan Dorkin" on my tombstone!!!

So, MOONFLOW by @bitterkarella.bsky.social was fucking wild: a sopping wet nightmare, a psychadelic psilocybin trip, a folk horror splatterfest spurting blood and other bodily fluids. Funny, sad, creepy and crazy. A contact high on nearly every page and probably the horniest thing I've ever read.(1)

A complimentary copy of the new book Moonflow by author Bitter Karella that I was sent. I finished the book last night, it's an extremely wild and trippy horror fantasy that I enjoyed very much.

It's not a scary read, it's a...it's a lot of things with some twisted folk horror elements.

It's not straight horror. It's not straight anything.

It's batshit crazy (in a good way) and yet weirdly sweet. And often very funny.

I was sent an advance copy a while ago but I've been a slow reader these last couple of months, so apologies to @bitterkarella.bsky.social for not being able to spread the word sooner on MOONFLOW. What a trip.

Nice. I'd love to see a triple-feature of the early Clark/Ormsby collabs in a theater.

Jim Lee openly disparaging AI in no way guarantees anything, no one knows what the future of AI is and no one knows who will be in charge at DC Comics down the line. But I think it's important that a popular artist publicly shot AI down. Fans and artists ignorant of or using AI need to hear this.

Magnus was adapted on TV by the BBC for the Christmas Ghost Story TV, but I don't know if there's a radio version of it. If you like M.R. James you might enjoy these BBC plays by Sheila Hodgson based on James' "Stories I Have Tried to Write" essay. He appears as a character, I'm a big fan of them.

The Bob Clark - Alan Ormsby connection, Children Shouldn't Play WIth Dead Things, Deranged and Deathdream are all little gems.

Wait, I'm sorry: WHAT tf is happening? Is Bsky Trust & Safety actually saying that they don't provide input on the 3rd party "AI" that is the 1st tier of all image & video moderation on this website? Am I actually reading that right? Because that seems like a completely bananas way to run a railroad

Also: Wish Kim Thompson was still with us. Not just because he was the only Fantagraphics person who liked (some of) my work. Pretty sure he's the one who asked me to pitch a Hey, Kids, Comics! page to TCJ.

Ye gods, what an angry young man/fan I was in 1991.
Some thoughts:
Glad I switched to upper-case lettering.
Glad I learned to draw since then.
Glad some things have gotten better since then.
Wish more things got better.
Wish the Journal was a regular print magazine again (where this first ran).
