"I see Ragnarok at last unfold.
And worst of all... I see the desperate hopes of the one man who might yet stop it... turned to ash and cinders...
by a single bolt of lightning.
Armageddon has arrived."
- Kingdom Come #3
Howard, drawn by Colleen Coover.
Original art of Howard the Duck by Colleen Coover @colleencoover.bsky.social. Ink and wash on bristol paper. Colleen almost never sells her original art, so this is a rare opportunity, available at the Helioscope webshop! helioscopepdx.etsy.com/listing/4456...
As a lifelong fandom type, yes. Fandom is and should be an unserious and self contained speakeasy of bootleg bullshit and the powers that be (the show runners, press, etc.) aren't invited. Fandom can take itself seriously but nobody else should. The more people take us seriously the worse shit gets.
A very astute (and upsetting!) piece that touches on four scary cultural trends: 1) The demand for spelled-out moral clarity in stories 2) A growing inability to understand different types of narratives 3) The "customer's always right" version of fandom 4) The growth of fandom as a social identity.
I've been so bonked by the flu and depression I've not had any energy for anything beyond the bare minimum of: sleep some, eat enough, barely meet work deadlines so I don't burn bridges. I don't think I've drawn in a month, I haven't written, I've not edited my own projects. Let me out of this slump
Just seeing a vita on the timeline today has brought me joy

Alright, maybe not a generation, maybe just me personally as a person.
Hamburger Hat defined a generation.
Thinking about Beartato today.
Appropriate since snakes do not have arms.

If your Kickstarter video/image is AI, I won't back it.
If your book has an AI cover, I won't read it.
If you're a public supporter of AI use for creative work, I will unfollow you.
I cannot stress enough how offensive I find AI use in the arts. It is outright theft, it is lazy, it is gross.

This is from NASA's DSCOVR climate satelite, located at Lagrange Point 1 (the point of equal gravitation balance between the Sun and Earth, about a million miles from Earth in the prosolar direction). The Moon sometimes photobombs Earth in its images. It has been in operation since 2015.
Just in that preview image, I'm sure you can adjust for grain direction with the role and format sizing. I do love this
I want to like this so bad but it prints against the paper grain which is making me cringe so hard

I truly cannot imagine caring about posting on the “biggest” social media site. “threads has more users!” threads is fake. get a life
