That Runs on Lies and Gasoline

I’ve been making comics lately. I hope people enjoy them. It’s been fun to make. Hard, but fun and I think I’m getting a rhythm going and less worried about expressing myself and people seeing it.

Hey so

the last time I reblogged this post right before I got a great job, in a permanent work-from-home position, with benefits, retirement, and a salary literally 3x what I was making before, doing something I really like. 

So you know. 

This might be the real one, y’all.

I’m waiting to hear back from a second round interview. I really need this. So let’s just try to put it out there.

I thought I'd post the guys I didn't quite like enough to put in my previous post because they have their good points in spite of being weird as hell

Ever since starting to publish romance novels I’ve been checking out the romance books at the thrift store specifically for the clinch covers, as a reference for what I might want to do with my own books.

As a culture we mocked these to extinction but I think we were just afraid of their power. The modern clinch revival still hasn't reached the heady heights of what they were doing in the 80s! The vintage covers can be really quite explicit. These ones in particular were steamy enough they had to be hidden on an inner flap.

This episode of the Smart Bitches Trashy Books podcast where they interview Shirley Green and Sharon Spiak, who were romance novel cover artists in the 80s, is a fascinating look at what a huge industry these covers were. Did you know they had whole photography studios full of props to make these? They’d take photos and turn those over to a painter who’d make something like a couple of these a day. They had it down to a science.

Here is a particular favourite of mine, also by Sharon Spiak!

I made some designs of the public theaters new mascot Romeo the Racoon because I have nothing left to lose.

Filled a sketch book this with a person each day. Here are a few of my early favorites.

The pee wee doc was so wonderful. He was so formative to me as a child. I’m grateful he did those interviews.

I had to watch big adventure right after.

The nice thing about getting laid off and America falling apart is I have nothing else to do but chase my dreams.

the us banning tiktok over fears of chinese influence prompting americans to flee to xiaohongshu (which translates to little red book - the same name as the famous red book of mao zedong quotations) and form instant connections with the chinese… you can't make this kind of irony up

This got some traction again recently, so maybe you'd like to know I'm still making art for this lil project.

So theoretically if i was to release this as a little artbook, with some additional art and illustrations lmk if you'd buy it, and if you'd prefer physical or digital copy.. for research 👀

[paticmak]

I’m just making sure y’all know this isn’t dead. i just have to spread my time around working on it

sorry but i do messy sketching only 🫡
