It's me, SAWHAND! I do art, working on some comics projects that I can't reveal just yet, but here are some cool paintings and drawings I've done! The first two are comic concept art, the third is Adventure Zone Balance Arc fanart, and the fourth was a commission for an spotify album cover.
A man from around the waist up leaning back against a bar. The color palette is red and burgnudy and a teal green. There is a wine bottle. The man is looking at the viewer and has slightly curly short hair. He is wearing a tunic, a necklace made of squares, and several rings. Two suns light this greyscale scene of an ocean made of crystals. There is a low horizon, above which is floating a large city, that is also a ship. It has a lot of verticality, and rises to a main tower that looks like a lighthouse. It has sails like a tall ship, and windmills. There is another city ship in the distant background with a slightly different layout. There are also smaller ships that look more like typical sailboats floating around the city ship. These emphasize the massive scale of the city. Four items are drawn in a white void, with labels that look like pieces of paper folded in half. The items are dungeons and dragon items from The Adventure Zone podcast Balance Arc. The Lens of Straight Creepin is a monocle with a chain that has an eyeball at the end, sort of like a keychain charm. The Astral Shell is a conch shell, but the interior is the void of space. The outside looks normal. The Fluttons fork is a two pronged fork, the handle is wrapped horizontally, and at the very end of the handle there is a tooth. The Anti Gravity Sphere is a shiny glass sphere with swirling smoke in it. A large red orange moon is in the top background, the sky is a green black behind it. The bottom of the image is a volcano painted roughly in. Above the volcano in the middle stands an industrial structure on four legs, positioned right over erupting lava. The structure is mainly round, looks like it's made of panels of metal. On the side there is a horizontal smokestack, on the top is another smoke stack, what looks like large skyscraper buildings. Also on the top are several crane arms with the crisscrossing metal pattern. They are sticking out the top sides as though they are horns. The front of the round structure has grates that look like eyes, they are glowing orange and red from within, the same color as the lava below the structure. It looks like the lava is somehow powering the city on top of the structure, with the main round body being some way to harness the energy of the volcano.

Wow, Monstress makes a lot more sense when you read it without 2 years in between each volume :'D

I definitely recommend a full re-read if you're looking to catch up!

REMINDER: If any of your electronics are biometrically secured, LEOs can, with no warrant, force you to unlock them.

They cannot, however, force you to enter a PIN or a password, and (depending on jurisdiction and other stuff) they'll need a warrant to start hacking on that.

The FBI was able to access Washington Post reporter Hannah Natanson's Signal messages because she used Signal on her work laptop. The laptop accepted Touch ID for authentication, meaning the agents were allowed to require her to unlock it. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

❌👑 Over the past month, we’ve watched as ICE executed two people in broad daylight and more behind closed doors. They have invaded our communities and are using children as bait to lure our neighbors out of their homes. 👑❌

On March 28th, we’re standing up against these masked terrorists.

Hello, can I interest you in a frog in these tumultuous times?
A hand holding a frog coin purse with its' mouth open as if it's going to eat you, with a bright logo in the background of red, orange, yellow and blue stripes. A whole pile of small frog coin purses in various shades of existential crisis and green, sitting on a desk mat that says "figmentpudding". In the background is a bright illustration of a frog leaping into the air with dandelion poofs and text that says "weaponize joy & whimsy" A hand holding a bumper sticker in the air. It has a blue argyle pattern, and a very round bean-shaped frog screaming into the ether. Text in big white letters says "heck" A square mottled green mossy looking frog throw pillow sitting on a desk.

Hourly Comics Day has MOVED!

It's the 20th anniversary and we're taking a stand alongside our Black cartoonist members and friends to demand a change to honor Black History Month- draw your comics on the 8th, not the 1st!

#hourlycomicsday #hourlycomicday #hcd
"IN OBSERVANCE & SOLIDARITY". Two black speech bubbles with white text read "HOURLY COMICS DAY IS NOW ON FEB 8TH. CARTOONISTS HONOR BLACK HISTORY MONTH. FEB 1 - MAR 1". There is an illustration of a black silhouetted hand raised and holding a pen in the top right, and an illustration of a nib pen and an ink well personified on the bottom right. The nib and ink are bumping fists. A URL at the bottom is "hourlycomicsday.com".

I think we should put all the ICE agents in an arena, and tell them ONE of them is secretly an immigrant... Then just watch til there's none left. 🙂

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!

Finally found a way to protect my pencils from my cat, who will eat them!

It's genius!!! PURE GENIUS!!!
A picture of graphite drawing pencils in one of those vertical straw dispensers, where you lift up the lid and the straws come up and kind of lean out. If anyone has a better description let me know, this is pretty bad I feel.
