A human skeleton from the rib cage up, either made of or covered in dripping, gooey pink stuff. Its mouth is open and its eye sockets are heart-shaped and its nose hole the inversion of that. Squiggly pink tendrils ending in bright pink heart shapes are growing out of the skull and clavicle. The skeleton’s hands are held out in front of it toward the viewer making a heart-shaped space within the fingers which is filled with more drippy, runny, sticky, pink goo.

Might have gotten some more if the George Lucas Museum of Narrative Art opened here.

The "Two Curious Dogs" series might be favorite Chuck Jones thing.

I'm so excited for issue 2, I (accidentally) bought two issue 1's!

Good gracious - this guy does it all!

Photograph of a dimly lit room with a xmas tree in the background. The main focus is of a grey WIP sculpture of a small furry creature with horns, holding a tiny book in one hand and a giant pencil in the other. My hand comes in from the right lower side to poke at him with a metal sculpting tool. He seems pleased.

Are we still doing that "show me your artwork with horns" thing?

a two page spread of a zine printed on green paper. The art illustrates Mario and Luigi together jumping across platforms with Luigi in awe of his brother. text reads: "it's always so much fun right next to you. Watching you take the lead. (Mario says) "there's a way to do EVERYTHING you just need to learn how!"

Zine spread illustrating Mario helping guide and support Luigi through advice and encouragement. Text reads "Guidebooks are nice but brothers work better. Though, I guess you did use guidebooks sometimes. I wasn't cut out for this but you helped me get here.

Zine spread illustrating Mario and Luigi reconnecting over the phone before reconnecting in person. Text reads "Even though I'm on my own now I know where you'll be. I'll see you at the next finish line"

Player 2 was a zine I made back in 2019 for my older brother, still real happy with this one.

Catching myself staring into a christmas tree instead of into the void is a nice change of pace I have to admit.

A Picture on the Wall, by Bill Mullins 12 track album

And one from my Dad! Well, my Dad's friend. He would often play with Bill Mullins when he was playing in various folk acts during the college/post-college days.

Anyway Bill recorded a new album that I've been enjoying. Some sea-faring tracks on here ⛵️

billmullinsmusic.bandcamp.com/album/a-pict...

This is a good idea! Here are some of my favorites I bought from Bandcamp this year…

Remember on Bandcamp you can listen for free a couple times and see if you like it.

And the title reminds me of a project I'm working on with my buddy @acmedina.bsky.social 🤫
