My favourite thing about putting blank canvases out into the world is seeing what people do with them. 🤩 Apoca-truck!!!
“Not human meat. 100% roadki…”
Jess from @mischiefmakers.studio gave me one of her 3D printed burger trucks from her forthcoming game, Burger Bois. Un/fortunately, the print was a bit flawed so I had to zhuzh it up somehow. I give you the Burger Truck of the Apocalypse.

This time last year I was feeling super discouraged - lingering post con blues, no paid work, imposter syndrome flaring up, fear & anxiety for Archie.
It took a while but it really feels like everything is coming together now. ❤️ New rakes to step on keep popping up, but nothing momentum-stopping.

honestly i would read an essay about the incredible graphic design of the zohran campaign vs the ai generated slop cuomo has been putting out and how that impacted their campaigns. i feel like the importance of good branding can’t be ignored here!!! (also he’s married to an artist!!)
"you're canadian this doesn't concern you at all" you forget that zohran also had the better fonts. a win for Graphic Design the world over

As many have pointed out, Mamdani didn't stand apart from our trans brothers and sisters. He didn't play the "Gee, gosh, it sure is complicated," milquetoast moderate card. And he crushed.

I was at a talk last week, and I gave an example of a quick & dirty narrative rule for keeping an audience onboard for repeated outings of existing characters. People seemed to appreciate it, so I thought I’d share it here, too.
It’s not *my* rule, I learned it during my masters! But it’s v. handy!
