David Fincher's THE SOCIAL NETWORK, and Trent Reznor / Atticus Ross's Oscar-winning score, turned 15 years old this fall. Here's some of my artwork for the album, created by manually corrupting images from the film by editing their raw hex data in a text editor, damaging them from the inside. 1/

Hi!
I don’t really know the optimal way to show a 5 panel comic with the 4 pictures limitation of Bluesky but here’s an attempt!..

when trans people take HRT to feel normal: “look at these depraved sex freaks performing their sick fetish in public, we should bully them out of existence”

when cis ppl take HRT so they can fuck real good:

Two panel comic of a person with glasses looking down at an open book. First panel reads: I think I might be bad at this. In the second panel they are scribbling in the book with a pencil. Text reads: I’m gonna do it anyway

Nine Inch Nails “Art is Resistance” flyer (2007), with some thoughts on what it means today that came up in my recent Q&A. #NoKings ✊
Nine Inch Nails "Art is Resistance" flyer, 2007. The Art is Resistance flyer, designed by 42 Entertainment with art direction by Trent Reznor and me, was plastered around cities to draw players of the NIN “Year Zero” ARG to real-world gatherings, secret meetings of “the resistance” in the Year Zero fiction, but also a very real mechanism to plant the seeds of real-world activism into a story about what the future might look like if more people didn’t “wake up and give a shit.” Unfortunately, the future turned out almost exactly like what we imagined in Year Zero, but the message - that art is resistance, and you have a voice - is more important than ever. Question (u/tiktock34): What do you think is the most powerful combination of art and music today, given our political climate? Im thinking of movements similar to the "Art is Resistance" type of message. Lots of music and lots of artists but its clear you are passionate about the blend. Also, thanks for the years! Huge fan Rob Sheridan: I think about this a lot, and wonder what the role of art should be in this particular moment of resistance. It's weird to look back at the NIN Year Zero ARG and "Art is Resistance" campaign from 2007 and see that the future took the bad path anyway, almost eerily to a tee. Not that I expected an album to change the future or anything, but at the bleakest of times I couldn't help but second-guess if art did matter anymore in terms of actually affecting change; if I should have been more involved with organizing or with direct action, if we were deluding ourselves in thinking we were doing anything more than a cool art project. But then, year in and year out, again and again, right now included, fans tell me - more than any other project I ever worked on, by far - how much Year Zero meant to them, how much the Art is Resistance campaign inspired them, how it changed the way they viewed the intersection of music and politics. They show me the AiR flag tattoos, their numbers from the ARG, the friends they made through the process, the paths they took after - some even met their future spouses! And it reminds me that yeah, what we did mattered, because a lot of fans were radicalized by that experience to be more politically-aware and think more like activists, and a lot of artists were emboldened to speak out more. 1/3 Source: https://www.reddit.com/r/IAmA/comments/1o89qtx/comment/njtmeg9/ These days artists/celebs are expected to have an opinion on everything and will even get called out for not speaking up on some things, but back in the early 2000s there was this real cynicism about music being "political." Bands would get so much backlash and told to "stick to music" if they voiced political opinions. I'm proud I helped NIN be one of the bands of the era to really break through that barrier on With Teeth and then demolish it completely on Year Zero, and help a lot of fans come around to how fundamentally intertwined art and politics have always been. And today? I don't think there's any right or wrong way to combine art / music with message, because I think just making art - any kind of art - is a crucial part of the resistance we need right now. At the core of the fascist project is the removal of intellectual and artistic freedoms, and that tells you all you need to know about how much art matters. Between the billionaire techbros & CEOs showing how much they revile creators by racing to gut their livelihoods, and the grotesquely ugly, unfunny, uncreative anti-aesthetics of the right-wing movement, a systemic disdain for the arts and sciences is stronger than it's ever been. In a moment like this, we all have to keep making human art and connecting around human art, whether it's aggressive music that calls the fuckers out directly or just cute drawings of cats that make people smile. I know artists who are making very direct and provocative protest art; speaking truth to power loudly and directly is important, but it's not everyone's lane and it's not the only way to use art right now. 2/3 Source: https://www.reddit.com/r/IAmA/comments/1o89qtx/comment/njtmeg9/ I also know musicians who are just carrying on with their shows without really speaking out specifically, because they know how many vulnerable people are in their audiences going to their shows for strength and community, and they don't want to put additional targets on those peoples' backs. Protecting your community matters, too. For my own part, thinking about all of this over the past year was a big motivation in doing my art book right now. The feeling of not being sure who I should be or what I should say as an artist in this moment, how much it matters, and finding along the way that some of the art I was making that was really connecting with people and helping them, was art that wasn't literal with a specific message, it just honestly evoked the way I was feeling and the way I think a lot of people are feeling. The catharsis of feeling together, of knowing you're not alone in the way you feel, of seeing artists who matter to you also feeling the same thing; that gives strength, and strength is power. It's okay to check out to take care of yourself. And it's okay to find joy in music, art, movies, games, books, sports right now. I'd say it's crucial to find joy, more than ever. They're counting on you sacrificing joy, because then you lose hope, and then you lose the strength to fight back. Art is resistance, and joy is defiance. If your little drawing of a cat brought you or someone else some joy today, that matters. They want you to give up. Keep. Making. Art.

Hi! Here’s another comic from my instagram days, very much influenced by the toxic aspects of instagram of seeing so much cool stuff all the time.
Leaving the platform was a huge improvement for my mental health, although I still struggle with functioning and the feeling of wasting time..
Title card, saying “unraveling” on a background of watercolour threads Drawing of me sitting on a bench in a park, a notebook in hand, watching people pass by a be alive. The text says “I know that comparing myself to others is the quickest way to feel like a failure” Drawing of me, scrolling on my phone, on a background of drawings of an instagram feed full of talented motivated and alive folks. The text says “I do that a lot though, and I feel that a lot” Drawing of me in the water, floating with a lifebelt, with silhouettes of people in yoga poses on poles flexing elegantly. The text says “most people around me give me the impression that time, age and experience made them stronger, more confident”

Hi!
While I’m still struggling to have any ressemblance of human functioning, I somehow had an idea for a tiny comic like i used to make a while ago on insta. Here’s my favourite one from back then, still very accurate with describing how I feel.. introverted navel gazing kind of shit :p
Title cards reading “longing, or a personal take on the trans agenda”, on a green watercolour and gouache drawing of grass and flowers, the trans agenda written in the trans pride Colors Watercolour self portrait of me staying at my favourite spot in my flat, sitted at my window near my plants with a coffee in hand and a bird on the tree just in front of my window. The text reads “I sometimes have an intense longing” Watercolour self-portrait of me eating under my blankets in my bed, with plushies and cushions (?) and books, with a plate of noodles on my blanket and my mouth full. The text reads “for peace and quiet without guilt” Drawing of me standing on one foot, with six arms each grabbing a symbol of one of my many interests, miniatures, drawing, music and so on. The text read “for the energy to make all the things I want to make”

A billion dollars is the socio-political equivalent of a loose nuke, and we should work as ruthlessly and diligently to prevent the acquisition of the former as we do the latter.
