Taking a big swing this January on the new apps; the big return of my Monster Mash January Challenge! Please join me in making some art based on 31 of the fiercest femmes in cinema history! I’m a chiller on the challenges; all media welcome (no AI!). I’ll make some low-impact lists, too.

combined value of data center projects that were stalled or stopped surpassed the total from the previous two years. That’s a major sign that public pushback against these facilities is growing rapidly. The report comes from Data Center Watch.
$64 billion of data center projects have been blocked or delayed amid local opposition — Data Center Watch

Still frames from the Venture Brothers. I have crudely edited some of the words from the original dialogue. Dr Venture is holding a piece of paper and saying "Very cool artwork... Oh, A.I." Now Dr. Venture looks annoyed and says "Great. These pixels are all meaningless." A monarch butterfly is flying towards him but it is completely unrelated to the joke I'm making.

Happy There Is A Circulatory System Walking Through The Kitchen Day to all who celebrate.
It's an artistic representation of a circulatory system walking through a kitchen, as drawn by Dave Gibbons and written about by Alan Moore. It happens a lot 'round here.

40 years ago we’d have congressional hearings falsely accusing metal bands of putting backwards messages in their songs that told kids to kill themselves & now we have a planet-killing chatbot that’s all like “bet you won’t commit suicide chickenshit bitch” & the government is like here’s $5 billion

this story is horrifying and universities NEED to accept that ChatGPT is actively harmful
disabilitystor1.bsky.social Aparna Nair @disabilitystor1.bsky.social · 12d
1.This is not the only known example we know of ChatGPT cheering on a vulnerable young person to die by suicide, this time it is a recent Texas A&M grad
2. Every single university that has invited OpenAI into our midst should be asked to account for their choices.
www.cnn.com/2025/11/06/u...
Shamblin’s conversation partner wasn’t a classmate or friend – it was ChatGPT, the world’s most popular AI chatbot. A CNN review of nearly 70 pages of chats between Shamblin and the AI tool in the hours before his July 25 suicide, as well as excerpts from thousands more pages in the months leading up to that night, found that the chatbot repeatedly encouraged the young man as he discussed ending his life – right up to his last moments.

Happy Halloween!! My favorite holiday by far. Here’s some spooky art I’ve made this year! I want to return to this Lady Killer series.
A cartoony illustration Ellen for Nosferatu 2024. She is in blue against a red background, Orlok’s shadowy hand reaching across her face. An illustration of Carrie from her eponymous movie. Framed by a flame, she is dripping blood and wide-eyed. An illustration Sugar Hill, framed by a skull. She is in a low cut white jumpsuit, and looks furious. An illustration of the witch from VIY, framed by her floating coffin.

This still feels like a #wip, but since I’m about to go see @realgdt.bsky.social’s #Frankenstein, I’m excited enough to post it!
The phrase “Only Monsters Play God” in red text on a dark red background. Various images from #GuillermoDelToro’s #Frankenstein2025 fill the letters; the first “o” holds a woman in an ornate coffin. The “o” in “monsters” has the Medusa head from the water tower that forms Frankenstein’s lab. The “a” in “play” has the monster’s silhouette, while the “y” in the same word has the monster in a Christ-like “Y” pose. The “o” in “God” holds the doctor himself, holding a vial of glowing green liquid.

Parents, please check your kids’ candy this Halloween. I’ve just found an ancient metal whistle with the inscription “QUIS EST ISTE QUI VENIT" inside a Snickers bar. I blew it and heard a note of infinite distance, and now I’m haunted by a figure in pale, fluttering draperies. Be safe.

Trump says San Francisco ‘went wrong,' but crime data shows otherwise.

Homicides are their lowest since 1954, robberies since 1985, and smash-and-grabs are down by more than half since 2022.

Happy #PortfolioDay!!

My name is Ryan, and I draw monsters. Sometimes I draw pretty femme people, and sometimes they’re the same thing. I love horror and folklore and character design!
A folk horror interpretation of the Brode of Frankenstein, The Stitchwork Girl wears a gauzy dress and has thick, visible sutures on her limbs, as well as across her chest and mouth. Flowers parade up her beehive hairdo, which is also full of twigs and sticks. A seductive, full-bodied red succubus looks over her shoulder at the viewer. She is framed by a heart. The main characters from Cassandra Khaw’s novela The Salt Grows Heavy. A person with delicate features wears a plague doctor costume; they clutch the vulture-like mask to their chest as they recline. They have pale blue skin and delicate scars dot their face. They are held by a person with long hair and a voluminous fur coat, with pale green skin, bulbous yellow eyes, long fingers and visible fangs. The two gaze at each other lovingly. A crocomaid - a mermaid whose lower body is crocodile instead of fish. She swims upward, framed by a rectangle with bubble cutouts. Her dark hair flows in a halo around her head.
