"The Light Always Returns," a phrase that's been kicking around in my head these days. I want to keep repeating it until it becomes the truth. #print #comicart #hope
A mongolian horse rider has captured a long cloth and holds it triumphantly while stars fall around them. Above, traditional Mongolian patterns frame the illustration and shagai (sheep ankle bones that portend the future) in the four positions are drawn in circles. Text at the bottom reads "THE LIGHT ALWAYS RETURNS"

stellan skarsgård seems like a good dude
How would you describe that worldview? My father told me something when I was very small to instill confidence in me: “Nobody in the world is worth more than you, but nobody’s worth less.” It is an egalitarian view that I’ve carried around in my life. That’s why I am for free schools, free universities, free health care, and free babysitting. Because our society could afford it. In America, people think social democracy is some kind of communism. They think capitalism is freedom. It’s not. It’s only freedom to exploit people.

This summer I joined a small group of artists in an empty warehouse on the edge of Lisbon to paint murals on the gen0c!de in Gaza. I created this 30m2 piece to channel my own rage.

I’ve been asked quite a lot over the years about how I remain calm when responding to trolls and bad actors. Some day I’ll do a bigger write up, but one of the biggest things that has helped me a lot is to remember:

“When you’re easily offended, you’re easily manipulated.”

Another Tory has joined Reform you say? Why it would almost appear as of Reform were not an insurgent force of outsiders but … dare I say… the same old shit in a different package… by which I mean unutterable Tory wankers.

HANG IN THERE BABY!!

a simple and graphic three-color drawing of a cat hanging from a tree branch, wailing in fear and misery. The text in the border around it says “Hang in there baby. You can cry. You can cuss. But you gotta hold on.”

My piece for the Guardian on 10 years since Europe’s border crisis: “The burning of an effigy of refugees is what happens after a decade of dehumanisation. Many have implanted a dangerous border fantasy that will continue to divide, hurt and kill.”

An effigy of refugees, burned by a crowd: this is where Europe’s brutal fantasy of border control has led us | Maurice Stierl
The shocking scene in Northern Ireland is the result of a decade spent militarising Europe’s fringes – and dismissing the human cost, says migration and border researcher Maurice Stierl

A wee zine about colonialism (1/2) #comics #zines
A saiga antelope looks back from the steppes. Text reads: "Tell me: How can we make the reader care?" Someone sits at their desk on a zoom call. Text reads: "Says my client 'These creatures are so far away'" Text reads: "Actually here in Germany I am closer to my 'Homeland' than I am to this man in New York" A mouse cursor drags a yellow Google maps icon person onto the steppes of Russia. Text reads: "I must go to the steppes now"
