iPhone shot of a foggy road

Fog this morning in Ann Arbor

Who is printing their own art zines? I’m starting to despise anything digital. It’s an allergic reaction

Photo of the glowing moon through a rain drop covered window

Friday night moon. It’s cool that there are humans making their way around it on their way back to Earth today.

Gloomy February

Rainy day on the road.

Just playing with the new phone camera.

Obsessed with Richard Stanley lately. Color Out of Space did not disappoint , it has that vibe. Hardware is my favorite but Color Out of Space is up there too.

Horrifying

I grew up behind the Iron Curtain and 💯 agree. 🤣🤣Also meat is the most important food group in Poland to this day so….very MAHA

Just occurred to me that Hardware is a Christmas movie 🍿🎄

Cover of the graphic novel titled The Eternaut by Oesterheld/Lopez. A sticker on top is the Netflix logo, with surrounding text: ANetflix Series.

Surprise package arrived today, I forgot that I ordered The Eternaut re print from Fantagraphics a couple of months back. Made my day. @fantagraphics.bsky.social

iPhone shot at night, at an intersection, during the beginning of a snowstorm in MI

Snowy evening, beware of the devil at the cross roads. It is starting to get a bit slick out there. It’s also St Andrews Night/eve, time for magic and fortune telling🕯️🔮🍎🧙

Creative status update: I’m currently pupating under a box of kinder bueno and surrounded by a stack of comics tbr. Bought new paint brushes so maybe something will happen soon #creativeblock #art #makingstuff #creativepupation #biomade #sufferforartyoufool

Poster for a John Waters show : ”Going to Extremes”, November 22, 2025 at the Michigan Theater in Ann Arbor, MI. A drawn illustration of John Waters as a pope, above him text: blessed be the filthy, and pope of trash.

Cover of the book by John Waters titled ”Carsick: John Waters Hitchhikes Across America ”. On the cover painted figure of John Waters holding a sign and sticking out his thumb.

This was a cathartic experience and I feel renewed in spirit. Amen!

Can’t do political posts here because of precarious state us foreign born folks find ourselves in Murica. It would be nice to have a private account setting. Is bluesky working on this or no? If no, I’ll continue to keep my posts pedestrian. But oh boy, I have opinions

Book cover with a red, glowing head of a dragon on it. Authored by Joe Hill and titled King Sorrow. A quote by Ruth Ware written under the author’s name: ”A brilliantly Faustian fable with a heart as huge as a dragon’s and a stinging twist in its tail.”

Another book for my TBR pile. Im seeking safety in a literary cocoon, building walls out of novels. Hoping I can escape to a different world and stop doom scrolling.

Photo of a comic book cover, title written in Polish. An illustration of red eyed HP Lovecraft in front of a red abstract background. Polish title “ Ostatni Dzień Howarda Phillipsa Lovecrafta” by Jakub Rebelka and Romuald Giulivo. Original title: Le Dernier Jour de Howard Philips Lovecraft published in 2023

Finished reading The Last Day of Howard Philips Lovecraft, enjoyed the art and story. I admit, story is secondary for me when it comes to comics. Cool art is all I need.

Kraków at night, Sept 2025. Another iphone shot taken by me.

Photo of a dining room with flowers covering the walls, ceiling and fresco art, tables covered in white cloth. Restaurant in Kraków.

This place serves very good pierogi 🥟 Dining room in the basement is like a place from another time or dimension. Drama.

Photo of the outside of Stages of US bar next to Pryzmat gallery in Krakow.

Inside of the Stages of US bar by the Visual Artists Union gallery Pryzmat in Kraków. Red chairs and tables on one side, pool tables on the other.

I’m always in an emotional brain fog when I visit my hometown.My folks took us to the Artist Union gallery and the attached pool/music bar.Dad used to party here as a young man, many liters of vodka have been ingested according to him. I took photos instead of asking questions I wanted to, as usual

Photo of the book prequel to the Witcher Saga. Cover text is in Polish, Rozdroże Kruków. Cover depicts the witcher holding a sword facing off with a creepy monster perched on top of a grave stone.

At least I managed to pack this book in my carry on bag and so it didn’t get lost by the airline. Does it matter which airline? They all suck. Reading it in its original language will be a treat. Crossroads of Ravens comes out in the English language version at some point this year.

Calling this one done for now. I lost the momentum to finish it and will be starting a new one from zero. Acrylics on canvas.

I might have procured more comics 🙄 @fantagraphics.bsky.social

iPhone shot of two comic book covers on top of a shopping bag from the Vault of Midnight store . One on the left is Brain Damage by Shintaro Kago, one on the right is part 2 of My Favorite Thing is Monsters by Emil Ferris

I swore that I wouldn’t buy any more comics. Showing friends the Vault of Midnight store in town was an opportunity to demonstrate restraint, oops.

Be happy that you’re not from a mess of a land that is New Jefset. I’d rather hail from New Jefst.

Monterey Bay Aquarium, May 2025.

Why is apple computing? I tried to hook up my old external hard drive to my new laptop tonight because I’m looking for some archived photos. Nope, can’t. Thankfully I kept my 2013 laptop and thankfully it still works.

iPhone photo of the entrance to the Boardwalk at Santa Cruz at dusk. Some of the scenes in the movie the Lost Boys were shot here.

We had to buy an HDMI cable in order to watch the Lost Boys in Santa Cruz ( Santa Clara) in our hotel but it was worth every penny.
