I made a silent puppet film about Godzilla vs. Paul Bunyan.

(thank you to @iamchubbybunny.bsky.social for Japanese translations and @okaywolf.ink for clanky piano!!)

The IDF took 3D animations from the Scottish Maritime Museum, a cyberpunk project and other places to make shit up about Gaza, Lebanon and Iran and these were reproduced in international outlets for the past 2 years.

NEW: Since October 2023, the IDF Spokesperson's Unit has released dozens of 3D animations illustrating alleged Hamas, Hezbollah, and Iranian sites

The style is now unmistakable: satellite zoom-ins, black & white wireframes, and red-textured houses - a new visual language of war

Six years ago, I wrote most of the Tragedian dialogue for Pathologic 2 in iambic pentameter. I'm back now doing the same for Pathologic 3. I figured it was helpful to write a guide on *how* I did it – in case I get hit by a bus and the team has to carry on without me.

I have returned from co-organizing the Wayward retreat with a shaved head, dry hands (I run the kitchen, so I've been washing my hands 40x a day) and as always, a new grounding in my art practice. I've been without internet for 2 weeks and it felt good and I'm going to try to keep that up.

good comics criticism needs your funding!!! (also you can get some rad cards from me)

If you adored @shing.bsky.social's very cool print that was available during the last Courier campaign, you'll love the option to get actual cards created from that print + an interpretation guide created by Shing at our Tarot pledge level!

@shing.bsky.social's A Mending litterally rewrote my brain and changed the way I concieve games and stories (keepsake games have been an obsession of mine for a while now, although most I haven't published), and their work is a continued influence on my own, though at a different scale !

Share someone else's work today with a personal note about why it's cool. Tag them so they see it. That 30,second action could be the boost that keeps them creating. Community building starts with lifting others up.
