The Green Goblin always seems to bring out the best in cartoonists. I've always loved this cover by @paulpeartsmith.bsky.social.

Colored up an illustration for a music video I did with the band Earthphish back in 2020. The music is up on YouTube, you can see it and more of the illos on my website
The tune also featured the legendary dub producer Lee “Scratch” Perry. What is my life???

If you know me at all, you know I'm a huge @jerryordway.bsky.social fan - so when I asked him if he wanted to not only do a cover, but homage HIMSELF, I was so happy he said yes! Check out his remix of INFINTY INC. #6, TFF-style!

So glad to be on a platform that values positivity unabashedly. Positivity isn’t delusion, though it may appear so through a lens of insecurity and cynicism. Positivity is the ability to give as much as you can, for as long as you’re able, for something you want. Nothing more, nothing less.

The 'eyelashes' on a southern ground hornbill would make a model envious, but here's a neat trick:
Those AREN'T eyelash hairs. They're modified FEATHERS.
Let's take a look at these specialized structures & why the southern ground hornbill (Bucorvus leadbeateri) needs these long velvet veils.

Funded! Thanks to everyone who has backed or shared it always means a lot especially in uncertain times. It’s always a thrill for me when people take the time to support our weird little comic.
( I am sure Fraser will be thrilled as well once they wake him from his slumber like a hibernating bear)
