Looking forward to this... I've considered buying complete sets online, but they're usually priced above what I'm willing to pay.

I know I haven't posted a new drawing in a while... I am still working on it. Just working on the comic in different ways. I think I've settled on a logo design. Shout out to https://blambot.com/ and Nate Piekos. His fonts are amazing, and they're free if you use them for non-profit or indie comic work. My use qualifies under the later. Let me know what you think.

Was just re-reading Jim Lee's WildC.A.T.s, and realizing how ridiculous of a character Helspont is. WildC.A.T.s was a product of it's time for sure. It was everything we loved about Lee's 91 X-Men run, but dialed up to 11.

Alright, so let's be honest, how many people like and use Zed?? I'm tired of VSCode trying to get me to use CoPilot, I already have ollama/glm/stable-code/opencode running locally on my Macbook. (I had a hard time getting into Neovim... Even though Primagen makes a strong case for it, and I do love his setup.)

This was one of the most hilarious things that I've read in a long while. It's also very depressing.

I expect you are distraught this year’s World Economic Forum has come to an end, and once again, you missed out because you didn’t get an invitation.

The Ghost of Jupiter - Part 1 (2025) [Director's Cut]

#writing #drawing #comics #comicbooks #webcomic #ghostofjupiter #ink #traditionalart

Think of this as the “Director's Cut” for the comic that I've been working on the past few months. If you've noticed, I haven't been doing regular blog updates, it's because I've been working on this comic that I call “The Ghost of Jupiter.” You can read it in its entirety on my Deviant Art account, and in the original resolution (very high quality). Deviant Art isn't the best site for hosting a web comic, but it is a great site for hosting original artwork.

So, what is the “Ghost of Jupiter” comic?

It's part Film Noir and part Atomic Age Sci-Fi. My personal interpretation of David D. Friedman's vision of what a true anarcho-capitalist society would look like. Set in the not so distance future, the entire solar system is colonized, but this story in particular takes place on Enceledus. It's a world where various rights enforcement agencies are crossing paths, so what are the conflicts that they are dealing with? And even though space travel is commonplace, there still appears to be a need for a good gumshoe... Or, two, or three, or several. [...]

If you haven't been following along, or you just want a recap of the comic pages that I've been drawing, I did a "director's cut" so that you can see my thought process. Hopefully gain a better perspective on my artistic process as well.
