One of the all time greats: Hot Rod.

Here's how it went: Murky➡️swamp➡️Swamp Thing, which then made me start thinking about a Swamp Thing/Poison Ivy crossover, which led to this, but mostly I think my theme became murkiest of all. 🤷‍♀️

#Inktober Day 7: Starfish

It's a thankless job
Or
If you love what you do,
you'll never work a day in your life.

A black and white ink drawing of a mermaid swimming upward, fish and bubbles around her. The focus is on her bra starfish who are making unsure faces at each other.

I took a nature weekend away, so I'm making up for my lack of posting over the next couple of days. 🥰

Makeup #Inktober Day 3: Crown

When I was a kid, one of my biggest pet peeves was when people pronounced "crayon" as "crown." I genuinely can't explain my irritation other than that I've always been a pedantic bitch. 🤷‍♀️

A black and white ink drawing of a young child wearing a crown of crayons, a small dribble of snot dripping from their nose. The child is happily oblivious to this.

Community remains one of my all-time top shows. ❤️

Okay... Are we ready for a Music Video Rabbithole? In which I drink and watch music videos and post them as I see fit. Not so complicated, and mostly exciting from my end. 😘

Conversational work in progress (Regarding Dandelions Issue 6❤️)
An unfinished section of a comic page featuring a man and a woman in discussion: she is smiling, persuading, while he is unconvinced.

The 14th Street Busway has been a smashing success: faster commutes, fewer crashes, calmer streets.

So why is Eric Adams blocking a similar plan for 34th Street?

utterly bereft to learn that by “monster” Ross only means “large” here
American Wagnerism entered its peak phase in 1884, when Theodore Thomas marshaled a grand tour of 74 Wagner concerts in 20 North American cities, employing monster choruses and drawing audiences as large as 8000 people.

i'm going to become the fucken joker

insane take. completely detached from reality
Some fuckin moron on reddit:

"It's a different mindset. Generally tech people and engineers give away things for free while artists want to charge for everything. If software engineers had the same mindset of artists, there wouldn't be open source royalty free software. The only part of the industry that's like that is the game industry where they want you to pay for the same video game full price on every single platform (video games industry is filled with artists...that's why), but for the most part those who make software don't do it to get rich. They do it out of passion. That's why you have a blender and tinkercad to make your models absolutely for free. That's why the world runs on Linux. Most people who use fusion use the free version. Computing would be much more expensive if we all had the artists mindset."

I'm just so happy to be reminded of these! They really should make a comeback.
