Can't let #xenovember just pass us by, now can we?
I feel like job number 1 of the xenomorph is to make people uncomfortable. Let's see how uncomfortable they'll let me get.

"The chicken's will is inscrutable, and we apes will forever fail to fathom its wants, its desires. Claiming to know it ways is hubris. Vanity. The chicken's reasoning is beyond us, and always will be."

Basing a project on a dream feels really risky. Was it subconscious inspiration that came together, or a mishmash of random bullshit that only makes sense at the time?

My post showcasing Ian Miller's art surpassed 1,000 notes on Tumblr. Most of them are younger folks who are reacting to seeing his work for the first time.

Boris Artzybasheff, a Ukrainian illustrator who immigrated to the US in 1919, was known for florid, grotesque explorations of surrealistic anthropomorphism, combining human and machine into fearsome, laboring hulks of metal & flesh.
These illustrations are from “Machinalia.”

A lot of folks on Tumblr tag my stuff as "Body Horror."
That's fair, that's legit I guess, but I myself usually don't see it that way. Our definitions vary. Call me crazy.
I'm not trying to be inconsiderate or insensitive, I just don't tag it if I don't feel it.

Every so often, I'll see something truly awesome from ages past, from a far off land, that I would never ever have run across if not for the internet.
It's pretty cool when that happens.

I saw @realgdt.bsky.social's Frankenstein.
Go see it.
Did I like it? Was it good? Was it bad?
Go see it. Just do it. Go find out. Go see it.

Designing characters for comics is hard.
Not only do you have to try and make something that
"looks original and cool"
But you have to make sure it's also "Something you can draw 1,500 times and have it look the same and not get sick of it."
