I’m sorry but I am losing it at this picture and “the thieves are said to have been carrying small chainsaws” www.bbc.com/news/live/c6...
From the BBC newsfeed about the Louvre robbery: headline says “Police focus on ladder placed against the side of the Louvre.” A photo shows a mechanical ladder placed against the side of the Louvre.

Yeah sure I'll jump at the opportunity to self-examine and describe myself to the world while also opposing the normalization of a tool that demonstrably pillages the planet's natural resources and the work of artists who need money to live #starterpacknoai
A black and white illustration approximating a packaging containing Clairikine as an action figure and various accessories, against a background depicting a forest above a mountain range and a lake. Clairikine is depicted as a thin white person with short blonde hair and glasses, wearing a flannel shirt over a black T-shirt, skinny jeans and black Chucks, and they are floating against a background of stars, gazing up and off to the left of the packaging. Accessories are divided up into small containers and include: noise-canceling headphones, an iPhone, earbuds, a German travel pass; an easy chair covered in stacks of books and a mug with a hot beverage; a set square, a sketchbook covered in stars, two mechanical pencils, one container of blue pencil lead and one container of HB pencil lead, a PITT artist pen with the letters S and F next to it, a black fountain pen, a smaller rectangular sketchbook, a mechanical eraser, two more artist pens; a black notebook with a thought bubble coming out of it, a composition notebook with three exclamation points in a speech bubble coming out of it, a heart in a speech bubble coming out of both, and three ballpoint pens; a 9kg weighted blanket; an old-fashioned analog TV set with rabbit ear-style antenna and the word "Blorbos" written on it; an anatomical heart sitting in blood; a church with a Bible hovering next to it; a group of people smiling, with a few hearts; a brain making a screaming face with three exclamation points coming out of it; and the Berlin TV tower with a speech bubble containing a heart.

🌲🌊 I drew a sequel to my 2022 comic "Boxes"! You can read it here: clairikine.blogspot.com/2025/03/pray...
An excerpt from a black-and white comic. The first panel shows a lake set against the backdrop of a forest and some mountains in the background. The lake's water is dark, as is the forest. The second panel shows Clairikine, a thin white person with short blonde hair, wearing a flannel shirt over a black T-shirt, jeans and black Chuck Taylors, walking out of the woods towards the lake shore, a curious look on their face. The woods they're walking through are strewn with pine needles, stumps, bushes, rocks, broken branches and other vegetation.

NEW COMIC is up clairikine.blogspot.com/2025/01/how-...
A black-and-white comics panel with the title "How 2024 went for me, more or less." It shows Clairikine, a white person with short messy hair wearing flannel, looking up from being folded over their desk on which they are visibly liquefying. Next to them we see a notebook and the keyboard of a laptop. Clairikine says "... Oh, hello y'all. Where do I fucken start. Don't mind me I'm just liquefying right now."

✐ Most recent edition of my sketchbook PDFs is up, with contents ranging from life drawings to thumbnail sketches to journal comics to character doodles and more! $10 a month gets access not just to this one but a vast backlog, too.

(PSA do not hold your pen like this)

The cover for the Clairikine July - October 2024 Sketchbook, which features a sketch in ballpoint pen on dotted paper of the artist's hands as they hold said notebook of dotted paper. The left hand is holding the notebook in place and wears a black fingerless mitten and three bracelets, including one that says "...DER SEELE". The right hand is gripping a pen in a fist while drawing.

[rerun] Berlin brought back the high temperatures so I'm bringing back this comic 💸🥗🐜🥂
A four-panel black and white comic with the title "Summer's Greatest Hits". In the first panel, we see an ATM with a water bottle standing on it, and the caption "Left your water bottle on the ATM". The second panel shows a bowl of salad with two speech bubbles emerging from it containing sad faces. The caption is "Believed the bowl of salad would magically not spoil overnight". The third comic shows a glass on a checkered blanket on some grass, containing a liquid into which two ants are walking. The ants are saying "#YOLO" and "wheee". The caption is "ants crawled into your mimosa". The fourth comic shows Claire, a white person with chin-length blonde hair and a black T-shirt, making a face and gritting their teeth with squiggly lines coming out of their body, signifying pain. Three text boxes are pointed at them containing the word "ow". The caption says "Didn't drink enough water, or move for hours".
