I would use up one of my three genie wishes to have them change the design of Vecna in Stranger Things so he looks exactly the same as he does already, except now he’s wearing dress shoes

I first started using InDesign when I started working digitally, at first just to manage images with different dpis. This cover tho, I actually built using the app. There’s a density and chaos to the woods here that I was able to achieve by drawing the elements separately and then stacking them

I haven't been on X for years now, but schadenfreude had me login last night to peek in on all my former NJ politics nemeses, and they're just absolutely trapped a phantom zone mirror prison, unable to comprehend how the world as it actually is can be so different from the one they've constructed

I am a little nervous about NJ… Jack Ciattarelli has been banging the anti-lgbtq/transphobia drum for years now, I would be so happy to see him rendered a three-time loser

A stack of ‘zines in manila envelopes getting stuffed into a mailbox isn’t as fun to look at as a shelfie, but probably still gives a tingle to a certain kind of small press and self-publishing enthusiast

People sometimes wonder how I’m able to maintain a monthly minicomic club. I’m lucky that I can work rapidly, and that I enjoy the process of making comics, but also I genuinely, genuinely like putting stuff in the mail and sending it out to people

I'm hearing mixed things about Deliver Me From Nowhere, which is a shame, but also means I'll likely be going to see this just for the "pointing at locations I recognize" factor

Two hours left in my crowdfunder. I've been working on the final designs for the Love Letter to Self-Publishing box. Not all the way there yet, but this is as far as I've gotten before the campaign ends. $24 gets you the box, two minis, and a print www.kickstarter.com/projects/the...
