“You develop an instant global consciousness, a people orientation, an intense dissatisfaction with the state of the world, and a compulsion to do something about it. From out there on the moon, international politics look so petty. You want to grab a politician by the scruff of the neck and drag him a quarter of a million miles out and say, ‘Look at that, you son of a bitch.” ― Edgar Mitchell Image: Earthset captured through the Orion spacecraft window at 6:41 p.m. EDT, April 6, 2026, during the Artemis II crew’s flyby of the Moon. A muted blue Earth with bright white clouds sets behind the cratered lunar surface. The dark portion of Earth is experiencing nighttime. On Earth’s day side, swirling clouds are visible over the Australia and Oceania region. In the foreground, Ohm crater has terraced edges and a flat floor interrupted by central peaks. Central peaks form in complex craters when the lunar surface, liquefied on impact, splashes upwards during the crater’s formation.

Waking up to the awe-inspiring images from NASA at the same time the US President is implying that he will commit genocide, I can't think of a better quote for the times than this one from Apollo astronaut Edgar Mitchell. I added it to today's Earthset image:

Sakura con was awesome because I got to spread the joy of OCs and making books for them. I hope it inspired a lot of people to take a stab at just making a little booklet for your guys, no matter if it's a comic or an intro sketchbook. It's fun, and the more books out there IMHO the better!

A close up of the ‘blorbo ballot box’ set up on Chan’s Sakura-con table on Sunday. On the left is a sign that asks ‘which of our OCs would look best in a bunny suit?’. In front of the sign is an acrylic box with three sections stuffed with all sorts of votes: money, candies, bracelets, ribbons, paper stars, and more. Fan shaped keychains hang in front of the ‘ballot box’ as labels for each of the three original characters on the ballot. To the right of the box are decorated photocards, acrylic standees and perfume bottles corresponding to our three OCs. These items were made for fun, but we had to add a tiny sign saying ‘perfumes are NOT for sale, sorry! ^^;;’ because they ended up so popular!

waaaaaah sakura-con was wonderful!!! my heart is so full. so many folks were so kind and encouraging and I can’t believe how popular our silly perfume boys were 😭💕

really excited and DETERMINED to carve time out of busy days to work on their stories and share more doodles and info about them….🔜

oh my GOD<333

Day 1 was SO much fun. I wasn’t sure if it was Too Much to make a blorbo shrine but everyone was so sweet and matched our freak when it came to loving OCs and it was so so awesome!

thank you for smelling our boys!!! LMAO

I’ll be in the Sakuracon Artist Alley!

My newest item is to celebrate the Witch Hat anime release! A little tin with some custom accessories. Can’t wait to see you all!

Three photo cards and three little fan shaped keychains with images of Chan (@aluhnim) and my original characters completely covered in stickers and deco like they are idol boys and not our silly office au fictional boys.

I went into a fugue state crafting tonight while Chan did all the hard work getting ready for Sakuracon…

Anyway 2026 time to Treat your OCs like Oshis!!!

"How does one hate a country, or love one?"

Ursula Le Guin always out there expressing my exact feelings in trying times.

A knight and his zubat

do not ask yourself whether or art is good instead ask is it sincere was it cathartic was it fun to make is it made by me and don’t forget to stay silly

EEEEE!!!

Some old personal work.

We used this to test the rough line treatment that ended up in the Hyper Light Breaker trailer.

YAY!!

we should all listen to him

I have so many complaints that will never see daylight for politeness reasons. But I need you to know I have them. So many complaints.

Daydreaming domestic scenarios about my OC’s will fix me

happy 14th anniversary to all who observe

“Wow, I dropped the ball on a lot of things for some reason, must be slacking—” you utter dipshit, what happened in the last couple months

Aliya Rahman, woman who was dragged out of car by ICE in Minneapolis: "I've spent the last month learning the names of the tendons in my shoulder, because both of my shoulders are torn -- cartilage and tendons. But what I haven't learned is the names of the people who did this to me."

I've been getting back into comics while I wait for more info from my concept job, and I thought I'd make a post about something very important to me, which is COMIC PANEL VARIATION and HOW TO THINK ABOUT IT.

For no particular reason, thinking about how the Minneapolis Aquatennial was concocted by business men in 1940 to water down the memory of a 1934 Union victory that happened in spite of violent and deadly opposition

I’m not like him. I’ll never be like him. #ff7

Excadrill, a mole Pokemon, eating/napping with human miners

Rhetorial question but how is it ice's job to go after agitators
