I'm a lucky bunny who has had a peak at their home county's page, and my little northern eyes glistened for just a moment. Joel never misses. I need these as prints or I'm gonna riot.
Joel has delivered a whole bunch of new art for GALLOWS CORNER today, and it has been incredibly difficult to pick just one to share.
But let's see what Yorkshire looks like.

Bolts was a force in London gay 80s nightlife, a bastion of Hi-NRG dance culture combining cutting edge sound and ethos. It hosted performers like Divine and Sylvester while cultivating a strong sense of community and collective care during the early AIDS crisis.

TIL that camels have been domesticated for so many thousands of years that they have no living wild relatives.
There are no wild single-humped dromedaries and there are a few remaining wild Bactrian camels but they're not the same species as the domestic ones!

It is 100% okay to like things that are objectively bad and dumb. You don't have to redeem your enjoyment of them by proving they're not bad and dumb. Bad and dumb fucking rips sometimes, and that's totally okay.

The story of Dracula is inherently sexual. There are so many themes of sexuality in the book that adaptations then have to capture.
A version of Dracula that understands this perfectly is Sesame Street's The Count.

Hey you. Read my TTRPG manifesto essay thing. Super disagree with it. THEN GO WRITE YOURS! No snark. Earnest.

Everybody's talking TTRPG theory blurbs and manifestos lately. And I didn't have a lot of focus for other stuff and I was bored. So read the SNAP! inspired The Strange Confession. Feel free to hate it with the fire of 1000 suns. As long as you write yours too!

These people never grapple with the reality that the right not only outspends trans people 20:1 but they also control social media algorithms and many legacy media institutions.
They never ask the questions why public opinion changed and why certain issues are so central to the debate.

Been working a lot lately on my gritty but hopeful superhero setting. Trying to disentangle what I enjoy about the superhero genre, like the optimism and people stepping up to do what's right, from other elements like the fetishization of violence
