I'm an artist working on a comic called Parallax of Paris, but I don't post about it(or generally any of my other art) on social media.
May talk shop about comics and my work but don't expect to see it in my media tab. That's shared w friends or privately!
That's all- have fun! 🎉

Tell me you're salty about the sopranos ending without saying you're salty about the sopranos ending

What's going on on that other website?
Rewatched "No Country for Old Men" yesterday, and I am placing my head under the guillotine here by saying this, but making movies with ambiguous endings is terrible art because it shows the director's and writer's lack of decisiveness in making, defending and completing their point, and by “leaving it to the audience to guess what happens”, they absolve themselves of all moral responsibility. It's how dreams on DHT, or stories in Dickens' writing, despite the intense emotions and darkness, always end with satisfying conclusions.

the last thing my mom said to me—
a comic. Panel 1, caption text: the last thing my mom said to me was— “you’ve become a great mother, I’m so proud.” I said, “mom, I wouldn’t be the person I am without you.” I am holding her left hand with both of my hands. Panel 2, caption text: actually, she said a lot between then and the end. “Can I get you anything?” I asked. “Some water would be nice,” she said. Panel 3, caption text: “if I try to remember the last words she said to me, I think they were like— “emma, help” I drew medication from a bottle into a syringe. “Sorry, sorry— I’m drawing another dose. Just a second I’m so sorry” Panel 4, caption text: “and the absolute last thing she said to me was—“ “ok,” I said, “are you feeling more comfortable?” She replies, “mmm”

Here's a fun Friday afternoon article from me! About the chilling effect of censorship in games, the ethical obligations of being a poweful entity in the medium, and how we respond when video games' freedom of expression - from so many directions - is under siege.

www.eurogamer.net/however-you-...
However you frame it, Valve's ham-fisted ban of an indie darling is another blow for free expression in video games, and this will always be a tragedy
Free expression in video games is in the spotlight, and Valve's banning of Horses might be only one instance of many that put that expression at risk.

I haven't seen a post like this going around yet, so I'll make it myself! EU-based artists, tell us what you sell and drop a link to your shop in the replies ❤️

Everyone else: please spread the thread and check out the artists if you want to support human made art this holiday season 🌟

weird people fall in love with each other all the time
1st panel: A dismal, awkwardly warmly lit hotel / convention center panel room like what you would see in the 90s or 2000s. A pink rabbit fursuiter holding a build-a-bear wolf, having waited in the corner, waves to an approaching blueberry wolf fursuiter. They both call out their usernames, "Blueberry Bella" and "KidfurKiki87" 2nd panel: Out of suit, the two are cuddled together on the couch in quilts and blankets. The build-a-bear wolf is resting against the build-a-bear bunny. Bella is holding Kiki, their fursuit heads on the dresser in the background. Behind the fursuit head, a "Days until Kiki's home: 0!" Lanyards of past conventions and their years are on a corkboard. --- Original art piece idea by @mIdrux on Twitter, but I and others were disappointed they drew it with mean-spirited intentions.. even calling the kidfur character a "diddyblud" (yes. verbatim) and getting wrapped up in "proship discourse." I thought the message was too human to let it be diluted + overshadowed by typical online whataboutisms and wanted to redo + reclaim it with more touches of the furry fandom, esp being a furry myself. It's love. For some, the love of your life is in the corner of a boring furcon panel room -- even if they don't have the same "interests," it's care that bridges the gap.

Sweet budgies (so fun to draw!) When I was much younger, my siblings and I got a cute budgie as a companion for my grandfather. He named the wee fella, 'Pete'. Not the most common of names for a budgie, perhaps but Pete didn't mind 🦜

#3157 A helpful tutorial
A digital drawing of one of those drawing tutorials that says 'don't do this, do this.' The drawing is of an almost naked middle-aged man doing a flying kick. The 'Don't do this' one has a bunch of areas circled and a cross under it. The 'Do this' one is exactly the same but without the circles and a tick instead of a cross. The text reads 'Needlessly adding red circles will ruin your art' and a smaller bit of text at the bottom reads 'Bonus tip! Add a tick under all your art so people think you did it right.'

Hi everyone, my sweet little dog had a really gruesome freak accident yesterday. Survived it pretty miraculously, but my partner and I are broke and facing new medical debt in order to make that possible. Any help would mean a great deal 🖤🙏
A pencil sketch drawing of my dog, overlaid with text that reads: My 3 year old dog had to go to the emergency vet yesterday because of a thick stick impaled into her chest cavity. It miraculously missed puncturing vital organs and arteries. She got through surgery yesterday and if all goes well my partner and I will be able to bring her home this weekend. We are so SO grateful she is alive, we love her so dearly and this was really gruesome and scary for us all. However, the $7000 cost of the surgery has wiped out my partner's savings, and is adding a heap of medical debt back onto my Care Credit card. If anyone has the means to help us out, it would mean a great deal. Venmo: @butchanarchy Cashapp: $butchanarchy https://ko-fi.com/butchanarchy

The longer I read this the sadder I got!!
;_; reading is so foundational, such a wonderful pleasure of life, I'm devastated so many can't enjoy it properly because they were kneecapped at an early age by three cueing.

There are so many movies and novels I want to experience in this world(tv shows not so much couldn't tell you why) and yet I also need to be studying learning and creating my own art in my entirely too short life.
Oh and also working and cleaning house and cooking. Like. Good god !

A Sharon Begley byline, almost 5 years after her death.

Upon hearing the news James Watson had died, a STAT reporter said in our Slack, "I wish I could read what Sharon would have written."

Incredible news: Sharon in fact did pre-write a Watson obit. And it is masterful and excoriating.
