I leave for two back to back cons tomorrow morning and need to reprint some badges to refill ones I sold out of, but just not in the mood to run to the print shop today. I guess I can do without replenishing some badges.

Oh yeah I remember I drew @caseymongillo.bsky.social and I as South Park kids.

I did end up changing the mascot character from a fox so it doesn't get compared to Nick Wilde to a hyena. I wrote a lot of fun song lyrics for this comic, structured it off like a Disney Renaissance Broadway musical. Don't have time to work on it now, but some day might be a fun comic to finish.

Looking at old personal vent art another common theme is my mind being crowded and overwhelmed. The first one was drawn in 2019 as sort of a New Year's Resolution thing, the other two during the pandemic quarantine. So many ideas for different projects, but overwhelmed myself and got nothing done.

I don't want to claim people are performative and in bad faith and doing it for attention, but it does seem that a lot of progress made in uplifting marginalized voices of minorities and queer folks have been reversed and pushed aside for more clickable outrage. Though again, echo chamber stuff.

Found these comics from 2019-2020 period, so year dealing with the same issues now I was half a decade ago.

I realized a lot of my TF comics from this period are metaphors addressing me dealing with art block, being in a rut, and other stuff still dealing with today. #TFTuesday

It's #TFTuesday and Halloween season, so time to repost my spooky pumpkin TF comic. It's okay, I am fine. 🎃

This is so cute!

Found some old concept art for that theme park mascot TF comic I wanted to work on from 2019-2020. I don't think I ever posted these, only the uncolored sketches. #TFTuesday

I'm not as in tune with online political spaces but I notice a shifting contrast between the "SJW" progressive activists (ContraPoints) of the 2010s and the newer Hasan/Destiny/BadEmpanada voices of today. There these the beliefs of younger American leftists or mostly just amplified online?

Back in 2017 I started a short story that prophetically was critical of JK Rowling & cultural downfall due to generative AI, before those two things became public issues. I am really kicking myself I never finished that story, now would feel more like a reaction to those topics.
