I'm rereading the comic Weavers by Simon Spurrier, and I laughed at this #wordplay.

A close-up of the fancy hairdo of the male Great Curassow. It takes him forever to get ready in the morning.

The Tasselled Wobbegong is a master of disguise that can eat a fish almost as big as itself in one gulp. It's classified as a shark, but when it lays on the sea floor it looks like a harmless rug if you manage to see it. But with powerful jaws and sharp teeth they are no fish to mess with.

That time I read the #Labyrinth comic.

I need to read the latest Labyrinth comic series since then.

Here's the cover illustration I did of 'The Bloodweaver' by @cnkuster.bsky.social , for Podium Publishing!

Out June 2026!
Cover illustration by Eleonor Piteira of the book 'The Bloodweaver' by C. N. Kuster, featuring a young man with eyes closed, holding a spiralling ball of blue magic in his hand. Through the light of the magic we can see the bones of his hand. He's wearing a uniform with a knife on his belt, and there is a landscape of vineyards on the background.

Comics artists who work with writers, I am doing a class for young comics writers and I would like to include some ANONYMOUS quotes from artists about things they hate getting in scripts. More "17-panel pages and cross dialogue" than "horses and bicycles". My DMS are open. SECRECY ASSURED.
Superman with a lot of dialogue, though I think it might be John Byrne writing his own dialogue here, hoist by his own petard etc

I was looking up scientific illustration styles when my partner texted me a clip of the computer game he was playing (It's a screenshot here). Samorost 3 was appropriate for the moment! I love the illustrated look and must play the game sometime!

I loved Trungles' Magic Fish and hearing him talk about it at Wonder Con. Gonna give this a listen.

I'm reading Animal Pound by @tomking.bsky.social , a modern tale on Animal Farm. Felt a chill for "If everyone must be heard, then no one is heard."
