Finally decided to make a pinned thread showing my artwork and photos. It'll be photo-heavy at first, but I will add more drawings as I get more confident about showing them.
First up are some Patlabor characters in a parody of the Keep Your Hands Off Eizouken! opening.
@aalong64 I know these people are mostly joking now, but I've noticed the place picking up more of Mastodon's crappy housing association vibes in recent months, so it's not hard to imagine the place taking a hive mentality that becomes toxic down the road. Hope I'm wrong, but...
@aalong64 "Hey, we have blocklists for scrapers, right-wing chuds, and other low-hanging grifter fruit!"
Me: Great, subscribe and block, nothing good will come from them!

Me: ............
@Padderooz I never realized until quite recently how this was kinda common in Europe, and that it wasn't just Japan who were publishing comics through magazines instead of individual floppies. I'll read scanned backissues of Deadline and wonder why the U.S. never really went this route.
I'm not on it as much as Twitter aside from cross-posting, but I am over at Bluesky if anyone wants to follow me there too.
Migrating my site to a different framework's still in progress, but when that's done I'll be writing on there again too.
Filled up another sketchbook. I couldn't remember the last time I finished one, and was surprised to see it was back near the end of July.
The latest book was bigger than the last couple ones, but I was still surprised at how long it took to fill it up despite drawing each day.
incredibly irresponsible to share these w/o attention to their historical context.
much of leyendecker's work are covers commissioned by the saturday evening post, which depicted american cultural caricatures + everyday imagery — INCLUDING those steeped in antiblackness 🧵
Just before midnight, some Taipei residents made their way to bid farewell to a pedestrian bridge at a busy intersection in the heart of the city. The bridge, long used as a film set—including in Edward Yang’s 2000 classic “Yi Yi”—was set to begin demolition the following day.
Wow! What a catch. Whether or not Miyamoto (and any others who streamlined Mario's appearance over the years) cribbed this design, I always love seeing the west influencing the east (or vice-versa), then seeing things get influenced right back. Art's great.
