placing an immovable rod that’s immovable relative to the sun and getting my arms ripped off immediately as earth hurtles through space, and before i’m done screaming the rod is already left thousands of miles behind in the planet’s wake.

sharing some words of wisdom from my friend trez: “it’s ok to be a slow creator”
take your time and do your art in the manner that fits into what you have going on in your life. life is fuckin hard; don’t make things harder on yourself if you can avoid it. intention and patience will yield wonders.
this is primarily a reminder to myself. but i hope it helps you too.

There are more bots following me now, but may I recommend them my ORCS! series, available through Penguin Random House here: www.penguinrandomhouse.com/series/14460...
I will be cold in the ground and still promoting this series, since the publisher is done with it.
Most people like it and I think you will too! Tell your friends!
Hell Mech - New color mini-prints available on my site now. jonathanlamantia.com
Wrote a pretty mean Personality Alteration mechanic for the second level of THE DUNGEON THAT TOPS YOU where you rewrite aspects of yourself with, you know, hornier versions whenever the dungeon demands it.

A color illustration of Jesus drawn to look like Waluiji. He has his white gloved fist raised forward is wearing a purple draped robe. His mustache is pointed. His crown of thorns and glove both have an upside down yellow J on them. A speech bubble coming from his mouth says “I’ma gonna sin!” The background is vibrant red.
he’sa risen, waaahhhhh!!!
An illustration of a five armed figure draped in a flowing dress, thorn-framed mask in the shape of a pitted moon, and long braids tipped with morning stars. The figure wields two identical scythes and the fingers of their upper most arms are capped with spikes. They twist and cavort. The figure is framed in cascading text, symbols, and graphics - smeared and distorted as if run repeatedly through a broken printer.

A black and white illustration of a cobblestone plaza surrounded by dilapidated ruins. There is a tall gnarled oak tree in the center of the plaza, and around it on the ground are hundreds of bowls full of coins.

Still taking pitches for COME ON IN Stretch goals until the end of April.
If you're a game designer who specializes in horror, southern storytelling, vampires, or the carved from Brindlewood system, send me a pitch.
All the info is inside.
Many trans journalists and activists have been pushing for more answers from the administration.

News from today confirms NYU Langone has still not started care.
Mayor Mamdani has yet to push for enforcement of NYC Human rights law against the hospital, which is in his power.
He has yet to direct H+H to absorb trans youth patients.
He has maintained radio silence.
i've definitely been in this spot before, sometimes the joy of the art vanishes and it's just a grind and burnout hits and we need a break. and venting is totally reasonable. i hope you get a good break and the drawing spark reignites after you've had some respite.

Who do you listen to? The spooky cherub or the mischievous faery? :o

Shamelessly reposting this at a more sensible time. Aside from the addition of some 50 new pages and a minor reworking of previous parts, this version also comes with 99.9% fewer unintentional spelling mistakes thanks to the incredible work of @eerieseymour.bsky.social. No more 'descrtuctive'.
So, apparently I missed Transgender Visibility Day by a few hours, but the full PDF version of You Will Die In This Place is now avaliable. You should be able to access it for free if you previously got the development preview.

And in horrifying news, Idaho's governor has signed the felony bathroom ban, with 5 year penalties for second offense bathroom usage, into law.
This is the most significant criminalization of trans people to date.
On trans day of visibility no less.
It will require a new "Do not travel" warning.
hey, maybe fuck white cis men for not being more deliberate about how they right their posts. absolutely fuck centering tdov around the discomfort of a cis white reporter. jesus fucking christ. fuck off.
