In 2019, I started live-drawing on twitch to keep myself from going crazy from the stress of my job in Japan. Then I moved to Tokyo and lived in a share house for a year with awful internet so I couldn’t stream anymore. Now I moved to a new place with better internet so...

...the stream is back.

Quick history lesson circa 2013 when I drew this. 

The anime for Attack on Titan and Flowers of Evil released around the same time; ToT greeted with utmost praise and Flowers of Evil ridiculed endlessly. 

Why?

Because FoE was animated in rotoscope rather than the style of the manga.

How dare a studio try something different and experiment.

It was decided that FoE would not continue with a second season due to the backlash. So in response, although the two animes were unrelated, I boycotted AoT. Seeing the same people who uphold anime as a legitimate art style then burn down anything that doesn’t conform to the standards, was an eye-opener.

Now it’s 2020 and I realized that I stopped watching new anime in general after that. I feel sick inside anytime a friend tells me about a new show they’re watching.

This is pretty much how I feel.

Fourth in a series I of comics about protesting safety tips I made with @this.is.ysabel . This one is about the dangers of police surveillance and how to avoid it if possible. Keep being safe when you go out. Don’t get snatched!

吹き込む - “FUKIKOMU” is simply a reminder to breathe.. it’s a wonder what breathing has done for me during these times, during meditation and yoga practice.. it has become v essential in order for me to keep my shit together and be strong for my family...  

-Rick Maun

I've been following the music of Rick Maun for many years. Often a bizarre mix of humor and sensuality that could only come outta Kansas City. I love it. I made this cool music video animation of the song Dolphins while self-quarantined. Check the links below and help support a musician I care about. Thank you!

Proving that it’s not enough to be left or right on issues. China’s politics throws a wrench into all of that.

That’s what I call justice

Okay so while we’re all struggling to find jobs, keep jobs, pay for food, or pay our rent, the government gave away eleventy hundred brazilian dollars of our money (OUR money) to the exact same useless trust-fund assholes who created this situation in the first place and it didn’t even do shit.

There’s a fucking pandemic happening.  We have basically no infrastructure to handle such an emergency.  We have to keep going to work and exposing ourselves and our loved ones and our communities to possible infection because we’re all one or two missed paychecks away from starving to death.  Those of us who can’t work are facing homelessness because we can’t pay rent, i.e. we can’t afford the usurous and ever-rising fees that a guy who contributes nothing to society but happens to own a building charges us to be in a building.

Oh, but the landlord might have to pay his mortgage!!!! Bitch I wish I had a mortgage

The for-profit healthcare industry is so determined to not handle the crisis correctly that they are *seriously considering* shuffling life-saving medical equipment away from elderly and disabled people and letting critical COVID-19 patients just fucking die.  There’s no fucking reason to do any of that, except that it’s more cost effective.   Because that’s what The Market demands, is blood sacrifices.

And speaking of blood sacrifices for The Market, they’re also talking about lifting the state of emergency and sending everybody back to work in the middle of a fucking pandemic and just accepting all the tens or hundreds of thousands of people who would be killed by that as reasonable losses in order to make the stock market go back up.  "Hey man, I’m sorry about your kids and I’m sorry about Meemaw and I’m sorry about your friends with respiratory issues, but they’re just useless eaters anyways and we just gotta get that line to point up.“

The presidential election looks like it’s gonna come down to an epic battle between one conservative rapist and another, different conservative rapist.  

Meanwhile the planet is still heating up and we’re still disappearing people into camps in the desert.

Is this the world you want?  Are you just going to accept this?  Are you really just going to say “yes sir, thank you sir” and take this lying down and wait for shit to just go back to normal?  Like a dog?

Or are you going to fight?

Because I got news, man:  It’s not going back to normal.  Not ever.

You need to look yourself in the mirror and ask yourself:  Am I going to take this?  Am I going to stand up and fight?  Or am I going to force my grandchildren to suffer the shame of laying a coward’s bones in my grave?

Sweet song and a cute clip!  DSPS  =D

曾稔文 Ami Tseng-Voc/Ac. Gtr/Songwriter, 莊子恆 Tzu Heng Chuang aka Chi Cken Chuang-Drums (also in 胖虎 punkhoo), 鐘奕安 I An Chung (Andy Chung)-Bass (also in イルカポリス 海豚刑警 and gtr for 厭世少年 Angry Youth).

Cast: 李姿儀 Lizzy Ninomiya & 曹孝威 Wise Tsao

They credited 詹詠翔 Yung Hsiang Chan on guitar but they don’t list him as an official member. He did play live with DSPS last year, so it’s nice that they included him in the MV. (I don’t know if he played on the new release.)

Full a/v credits back at YT (Lyrics, too!)
