Several of these are only unmarked because I consciously avoid them.

A WWII propaganda poster proclaiming "This man is your FRIEND He fights for FREEDOM" with John Allison's illustration of a Ronald Searle-esque figure drawn in a mid-century mode in the middle. He is labeled with "Out Hero" written in John's deft hand.

Like you, I was compelled by forces beyond my understanding

Hey, I'm serious about this. If you or someone you know is using ComicControl, you need to reach out to me. I will be publicly disclosing the issue in mid May, but I would like to have as many people patched as I can before then.

I did email the dev. She did not respond, so we're on our own.

Understandable. If you wanna talk about any of it my door's always open.

The indieweb is a lot of fun, there's RSS and webmentions and even support for ActivityPub and ATproto so posts from your website turn into social posts that people can comment on by replying. Real sicko shit.

They killed my account last fall, for posting the same sort of images you post. I said fuck it and started over on my own website. Nobody goes there but every day it posts pictures I like and it makes me happy.

Search engines are useless. Social media's dying. New computers aren't affordable. So, let's all go back to the indie web!

For the first time in 17 years, I have a personal website again. I have more ambitious plans for the future, but for now it's just a small portfolio site.

Dimestore Novel - Dimestore Blog - February 2026 Art Roundup As expected, February was a better month from an art production perspective if not any other conceivable metric. I don't actually know if that was expected,...

I used Rhino 3D and Bryce for my earliest 3D art back in the 2000s

Johanna and Marilyn are my favorite couple 💛🖤

#art #DimestoreNovel #NatashaWinter

A digitally colored illustration of a girl with white poofy hair pulled back in a low ponytail. She's wearing a black leather vest, gray skirt, and black leather boots. She's smiling and flashing the peace sign with one hand and holding a sword with five stars embossed above the hilt in her other hand. She's standing in her room which is predominantly purple with an old fashioned computer on a desk and a poster of a cat hanging from a branch with the word "COPE" on the wall.

This is Natasha Winter. She likes reading and the color purple. She isn't supposed to have that sword but nobody can take it away from her.

A pen and ink illustration of Natasha Winter sitting weird in a chair with a book. She has a questioning expression and is saying "You let people choose who gets to be in charge? What if they choose someone bad?"

Good question, Nat.

Look at this amazing Natasha by the inestimable Mea, who can be found on Bluesky @andmeggie.bsky.social

You should give her a lot of money and, if you really want to, commission her too!

Dimestore Novel - Dimestore Blog - November 2025 Art Roundup November started strong with quite a bit of drawing, then petered out a bit toward the end of the month. I drew Kei and Yuri from Dirty Pair for some reason...

The November art roundup is now posted! Thrill to the one and one third dozen drawings I did! Some of them are quite good if I say so myself!

Ten years ago two crack trouble consultants were sent to prison by interstellar court for a crime they may have committed.

These ladies promptly escaped from maximum military stockade to the Eleanor City underground.

Today, still wanted by United Galactica […]
