The Hawkeye Initiative: Special Guest Edition: The Hawkeye Initiative IRL!:

I recently received an email from an anonymous fan sharing how she pulled a Hawkeye Initiative themed prank on her CEO to illustrate a problem with some artwork.
My personal compliments to her and her accomplice on a mission well done; they perfectly took they perfectly took the concept of The…

As many of you know, I recently purchased an Uruk-Hai scimitar.

zohbugg:

Well let me tell you, it was quite the pragmatic purchase. It has endless uses in my morning routine.

Such as making the bed:

Making toast:

Getting things off high shelves:

Making coffee:

Reaching the remote when it’s too far away:

And assisting me when I ran out of toilet paper:

I don’t know how I survived life without it.

We (meaning Braden Lamb and Shelli Paroline) will be at Boston Comic Con this weekend.

You can find us beneath the big orange banner (booth #203), where we’ll have lots of exciting stuff…

A Boston-exclusive Adventure Time print

Original art from the AT comic issue #15, which will be going up on ebay this weekend

Commission a sketch from us on a blank cover of the AT comic

Check out some of the other comics we’ve worked on. They’re at least as good as the AT comic.

Come see our panel at 12pm on Saturday. We’ll be there with the My Little Pony comic’s Andy Price.

If you’re interested in getting stuff signed, we’d be happy to do that for you at the Boom! Studios booth at 3pm on Saturday and Sunday.

Stop by and say hi! Or ask us what time it is! (It will be Adventure Time) We’d love to see you there!

Ultimate Powers Jam: Worrybird

Sun, 14 Apr 2013 22:51:17 -0400

I got to participate in Pal Andrew’s Ultimate Powers Jam!

Here’s how it goes: Andrew Weiss uses the character creation rules from the Marvel Super Heroes RPG’s Ultimate Powers Book to roll up a random character description. Then he hands them off to artists and writers to flesh out.

One of those handoffs was to me! Check out Ultimate Powers Jam #6, with art by me and writing by Fake AP Stylebook’s Ken Lowery. Who is … WORRYBIRD?

Indistinguishable From Magic: Why the word "feminism" is important: a rebloggable version :

laurahudson:

kirkhamilton asked: You were talking about that Salon article where famous women avoided calling themselves Feminists. Do you think that’s a poor reflection on them, or a sign of how thoroughly the word has been subverted/twisted? Is it fair to criticize people for wanting to avoid a word…

ericafailsatlife:

COMMISSION. Mr. Brian Evans asked me to draw for him a sexy Doctor Leonard McCoy. The details, he left up to me. Whether that was a poor choice on his part is up to you. At any rate, I think we can all agree that Zardoz was ahead of it’s time in terms of fashion.

You can get commissions HERE.

Also, Pre-Commissions for Boston Comic Con are now open!

What Your Culture Really Says

Thu, 21 Feb 2013 12:24:38 -0500

What Your Culture Really Says:

programmersbeingdicks:

Shanley Kane calls out (and thoroughly eviscerates) the morally bankrupt value system behind startup culture’s inane slogans and job perks. The most important piece of tech writing you’ll read all month.

Culture is not about the furniture in your office. It is not about how much time you have to spend on feel-good projects. It is not about catered food, expensive social outings, internal chat tools, your ability to travel all over the world, or your never-ending self-congratulation.

Culture is about power dynamics, unspoken priorities and beliefs, mythologies, conflicts, enforcement of social norms, creation of in/out groups and distribution of wealth and control inside companies. Culture is usually ugly. It is as much about the inevitable brokenness and dysfunction of teams as it is about their accomplishments. Culture is exceedingly difficult to talk about honestly. The critique of startup culture that came in large part from the agile movement has been replaced by sanitized, pompous, dishonest slogans.

Let’s examine popular startup trends that are being called “culture” and look beneath the surface to find the real culture that may be playing out beneath it. This is not a critique of the practices themselves, which often contribute value to an organization. This is to show a contrast between the much deeper, systemic cultural problems that are rampant in our startups and the materialistic trappings that can disguise them.

“Miniscule”

Tue, 12 Feb 2013 10:35:00 -0500

“Miniscule”:

programmersbeingdicks:

Vacancy descriptions for The Amazings. Wouldn’t you just love to work for this bunch?

CTO: This will almost certainly be a man (a female CTO would be too much to wish for). He’ll like comics, will code for fun, probably wear band t-shirts, and won’t need a job description to know whether they were suitable to be a CTO or not.

Software Engineer: This person will wish he was the CTO but isn’t quite ready to be in charge of other people, because that would make them The Man. They’ll probably have a computer science degree, and are earning lots more than their friends who became teachers. There’s a (minuscule) chance this person might be a woman.

There’s a minuscule chance this woman will take her summa cum laude bachelor’s degree in Computer Science with a minor in Business Administration anywhere near a group like this.

PHENOMENAUT AEROSPACE: Being a Black Writer of Comic Books:

“What does it mean, to me, to be a black comic book writer? I’d like to say that it doesn’t mean anything different than before I put the “black” in there: That I treat my work seriously, even when it’s about something as inherently silly as giant monsters destroying island cities. That I…
