easily the silliest and most niche thing i’ve ever drawn. i was listening to Buzz by #ViennaVienna, and as i was wondering if my friend Phil would like it, these lyrics showed up, so. i couldn’t just continue on without appreciating it.

#comic #art
a four panel comic, though it’s somewhat freeform in that there are no panel lines. the first panel is two people sitting next to one another. the one on the left is wearing a green blazer, black pants, and socks. they are crouching and have their hands in their blonde hair. the text, which layers overtop the other person, says “do you know what i mean?! does that make any sense?! im tryna get my fill”. the other person is wearing a grey pants suit and their blonde hair is styled into a victory curl. they are laying back on their elbows, and their expression is dazed. in the next panel, slightly above and to the right of the first, the one in the left hasn’t changed position, but the one on the right is now looking up at the other, and their eye is a dazed swirl. their text says “who the FUCK is phil” the third panel is now zoomed in closer, cutting off the character on the left halfway. the other is now facing right, pointing at something offscreen. they say “did he come with you” the last panel is zoomed in so that the left is only visible by their elbow. the remaining character now says “weird hat” to the chicken in frame. the chicken has a tag that says “not phil” chicken footprints fill the empty space around the comic.

okay sure heated rivalry is well written and sexy and there’s some gorgeous yearning going on, but, imo, nothing will ever beat ilya’s reaction to the loon

my boss is excitedly telling me about how the more you use AI the more it sounds like you, and i am smiling along because i don’t think telling her just how creepy that sounds will go well for me

Hey artist! Quote with a sketch that you like!

im branching out and making a lil comic, and im really pleased with how it’s turning out :)
a sketch of two characters, both on the floor. one is crouched down, with their hands in their hair, with their mouth open in distress. the other is laying back on their elbows with one knee up. they appear to have a blank expression. they are both wearing blazers and formal pants, with socks. a drawing of two characters, both on the floor. one is crouched down, with their hands in their hair, with their mouth open in distress. the other is laying back on their elbows with one knee up. they appear to have a dazed expression. they are both wearing blazers and formal pants, with socks. the distressed one is wearing a green blazer and black pants, while the other is wearing a grey pants suit.

quote with your fanart
a digital painting of Merlin and Gwaine from BBC Merlin. Merlin is leaned against the wall, with Gwaine leaning over him. They're both laughing. Merlin has one hand up to push at Gwaine's face, covering his mouth partially. The other hand is grabbing at Gwaine's knight's cape. Gwaine's arm is leaning against the wall above Merlin's head.

jack asked if i would sketch up a poster to tell people in nearby neighborhoods about the partnership between flock and ring, and this is what i came up with. it can be printed on an 8.5x11 sheet of paper.
YOUR RING CAMERA IS AN ICE AGENT [a drawing of a ring camera with an ice agent dragging a person away in its field of vision] "In October of 2025, Amazon's Ring announced its partnership with FLOCK, an A.I. surveillance group that freely shares its footage with ICE, the secret service, and the navy. Flock customers can use A.I. tools to sift through footage to assist in all manner of operations (like raids and deportations) without a warrant. Unplug Ring! Melt ICE! Protect your neighbors!

a digital drawing of the musical artist Vienna Vienna. he has blonde shaggy hair, and is wearing a long red suit jacket with a tie. he is standing in front of a wall of windows, pointing his guitar at the viewer like a gun. sunbeams stretch across the image.

While the pasty incels who work the federal agencies continue to churn out feeble, bloodless AI pastiches of Axis propaganda, here’s how a living breathing artist powerfully invokes design history. This is by illustrator Emily K in South Philly, a free poster-sized download on her website: →
