A two story building, painted off-white with navy blue trim stands to the left of a one-story stucco-covered shop that once appeared to have been a convenience store and deli, but is now directing patrons to the "Surf Hut" Surfing Supplies and rental store next door. AT the front door of the two-story a wizard, happy and waving appears to in high spirits for his surf-shop. A couple of palm trees frame the taller building, as well as a large leafed plant. There's an ice machine in front of the one-story building and next to it is a drinks vending machine advertising "WIZ COLA" and the machine is filled with various bottles, drinks, and elixirs. To the right of the machine is a trash can and next to that is a board with information about the beach down below the berm that makes up this shop's location. To the right of the board is a souple of signs indicating that swimming is permittable at the beach far below. A handful of beach umbrellas can be seen far below. The water is blue and welcoming with waves rolling into shore. Behind the Buildings is a parking lot which currently holds a small yellow car and an older looking camper van from which two bikini-clad witches had hopped onto their brooms. The first witch holds her broom parallel to her body, gently lifting off in her pink and periwinkle swim attire, her matching sandals and hat are stark against the billowing clouds in the sky. The second witch has a surfboard (a rather small one) tucker under her right arm. She appears to have landed on her broom, ready to zoom down to the water. A vivid Blue horizontal landscape, for Sci-fi TTRPG "Stations and Starships" by Frigid Pigeon Inc. The central focus of the piece is a tall wedge'shaped ship half in the water and half above. On its large dorsal wing are two smaller "fin" wings to which sails are attached - one in full sheet to the wind. Around this ship in the distance are other ships, similarly designed all with different configurations of wings and fins and flying flags of all colors. Further back a sort of docking station above the roiling ocean below, from which a distant ship is leaving. In the sky far above another planet and its moon can be seen through partial cloud cover. Below the waves of the planetary ocean is teeming with all manner of life -- most notably large deep blue/purple whale like creatures that swim along side the starships floating in the water. There are also schools of fish and smatterings of jelly-fish-like creatures stretching into the far distance of the sea. A spread from my fantasy western, Hexslingers. On the left main character Katie nervously exits the scene of and an onlooking crowd. She grabs her pointed tan-colored witches hat from the ground, knocked off her head by a spell - which as also left a hole in the main body of the hat. She stuffs it onto her head and mounts her blue spectral horse, telling another figure "Doc" Thorn Willoughby, that it's "time to go." He agrees with an "mmhmm" On the right a splash page featuring a large wooden trestle attached to a cliff upon which sits a western style town. at the tip a crowd is hustlin and bustlin, all while screaming, "We're free! Justus [an evil deputy] is dead! Down with Mancers!" below heading down the path we see Katie and Doc making their escape. With three inset panels we see Katie speaking to Doc. She says, " Doc... frightful sorry 'bout yer arm" to which doc replies, "Don't fret. When we make camp I'll give it a look" Full Candlenights 2024 Poster by Matt Aytch Taylor (that's me) From left to right: Justin McElroy, Clint McElroy, Travis McElroy, and Griffin Mcelroy having a cozy rest beneath a heatlamp-esque wing of Terry the Nondenominational Gift Delovery Dragon. The boys are enclosed in the dragon, who is curled up like a cat in a dug-out snow-bank. Justin, Travis, and Griffin and all holding steaming mugs of tea or cocoa. The snow around them has a purplish glow from the orange of Terry, while off in the distance the blue of a winter's night settles over downtown Huntington, West Virginia. Art by Matt Aytch Taylor The stars in the sky and blocky 5 point stars and a few 4 point diamonds. Above the guys and Terry are the words, "JOYOUS CANDLENIGHTS 2024" The image is watermarked with the McElroy family Logo - don't download it and print your own go buy it from the link in the post, it benefits the Harmony House which is a great cause!

This is a very difficult read.

Mohammed Ibrahim’s account is also an account of all of the other Palestinian children locked up in the entity’s network of torture camps… This torture will continue until the entity is completely dismantled.

I need help with upcoming rent bills and fixing a flat tire. My credit card is frozen and I'm currently paying two rents totaling $2500 so I'm opening up some commissions to hopefully help out.

Pet commissions, twitch emojis, and character commissions available. DM or email if interested! 💖

Ahh hello new followers, there seems to be quite a few of you. Im hades. Im very very sick right now so im not currently working or drawing but my main project is my comic Tyree. The pages I do release [i made a big buffer before I got too sick] go on kofi/patreon atm! I also have an art book too

Tyree is about a mute son of the Moon that wasn't supposed to exist. He strikes a deal to return Death's sword to her temple in hope of winning her favor and being turned human. It is inspired by pre-hispanic mesoamerica & deals w/ themes of grief, war, trauma, and discovering yourself. #tyreecomic

Hey #MeetTheWebcomic! I make Keeping Time, a longform drama that's ostensibly a band romance between former friends, but might be better categorized as an adult coming-of-age story where that self discovery is painful and hard-fought.

#KeepingTime #webcomics

🎸 keepingtimecomic.com
A promotional graphic that reads #MeetTheWebcomic Keeping Time Romance, Drama, LGBTQ+ Daniel and Denver haven’t spoken since Alex died. When a chance encounter reunites them as friends and bandmates, they find themselves falling in love - for better or worse. keepingtimecomic.com with an illustration of two men playing electric guitars, bathed in stage lights. A comic page from KEEPING TIME that tracks an interaction between Denver, a blond punk with a neck tattoo, and Daniel, a Japanese-American guy who seems perpetually sad. Denver and Daniel sit on a steel work access staircase in an alley, catching up on the years that have passed since they lost saw one another. In the final panel, Denver suggests Daniel should swing by band practice, because "the band's still going strong." Another page, this time tracking an interaction between Denver and his roommate, Tomás. Tomás expresses hesitancy at the idea of inviting Daniel back into the band, which immediately earns him an angry, snapped response from Denver. A third and final page. Denver and Daniel are walking together on a winter's night. Denver shares that he now lives with Tomás, but that it comes with difficulties because of Tomás and their cheap apartment's plumbing. Daniel laughs for the first time maybe all comic.

I'm not sure which of you need to hear this, but:

If you push yourself to your limits and burn out for a company, you are trading years of your future productivity for minor gains in the present.

Burning out will _fuck you up_, it's like brain fog or depression, and it takes years to recover
