For those of you who paint - how do you go about selling you're paintings? etsy? How do you deal with shipping? I'd like to start selling some of my paintings. Thx

Picked up @blambot.bsky.social's new SFX Brush Set, and quickly drew up these SFX using them for practice. All done by hand with my mouse as my brain cannot work with the delay & disconnect of my Wacom Bamboo.

Another knock out resource for ANYONE who makes comics.

A bunch of hand drawn SFX, all done using Blambot's new SFX Brush set in Adobe Illustrator. There is a BOOM, PLINK, THUD, SQUEEEE, WUB WUB WUB, TINK, PING, PING and ZZZZIIIP.

I watched Backrooms last weekend, and really enjoyed it. The surreal, anxiety-inducing liminal space aspect was a refreshing alternative to the mediocre state of horror movies for the last couple of decades. I have not watched the YouTube series.

Another new Illustrator brush set: BasicBlox BB. I just needed..well, something basic...and blocky...but with a little organic jitter to the edges. I think I might have enough of these to release a new collection pretty soon.

Update on the official Alex Toth font. The family and I are going through the revision process on the Regular version, making small adjustments. Here's a look in Fontlab. I've made it a point to keep as many of Toth's "habits" as possible; certain letters overlapping, etc.

5) I literally crawled up onto the beach in shock. I was bleeding from cuts all over me. I broke two toes. But I made it back to shore. I've lived near the coast for many years, and even though I respected the ocean, I learned never to turn my back on it again.

@blambot.bsky.socialOct 5, 2026, 4:49 PM

4) Which meant I was suddenly right-side-up. I kicked at the rocks as hard as I could, and somehow broke the undertow. I bobbed to the surface, gasping, and swam as hard as I could for shore.

3) I was pretty sure I was about to die. I couldn't tell the difference between up or down. I tumbled. My wife & mom would realize I wasn't coming back to the surface. They were going to witness my drowning. Somehow, I ended up with mt feet dragging on rock...

2) I took my eyes off the incoming surf for a second, and got hit by a big wave. I went down, and the undertow took me. I felt myself being drawn out to deeper water. I was dragged along the rocks at the bottom like a cheese grater, and curled into a ball to protect myself...

About 15 years ago, I nearly drowned. My mother was visiting from out of state and we decided to go to the beach. It was "off season" so no lifeguards and barely anyone there. I decided to have a swim while my wife and mom hung out on the beach...

“Undertow” day 4. Acrylic on 20”x20” canvas. One more day and I’m probably done.

@blambot.bsky.socialOct 3, 2026, 5:48 PM

“Undertow” day 3. Acrylic on 20”x20” canvas. This is all basically a background layer. Planning on some big areas of an off-white next. There’s a little bit of glare in the photo. Sorry.
