IS BACKHOE! STEVE'S ART INSPIRED BY ANASTASIA TRUSOVA?

Actually Tension and Tonic Steve but also maybe Backhoe Steve! For whatever reason I remember less of my inspiration for Steve's art in Backhoe. I must have spent less time thinking about it. I would have to see if I have notes about it. I do not know if it is laziness or consistent characterization that I want to say both versions of this character have a similar artistic style? 😄

Anastasia Trusova

But I was also thinking of Erin Hansen who is vaguely kind of vibing with Trusova.

I was also thinking of Maia Cruz Palileo

Particularly thinking about how they integrate figures into landscapes

I think Backhoe Steve would be more grounded in realistic greens and Tension and Tonic Steve more into the glowing pinks and purples. New Orleans artist James Michalopoulos (who is better known for painting houses)

Backhoe Steve is obsessed with shades of green. There are so many and he loves them all and is always on a quest for the best one but they are all so good he wants to eat them.

The throughline for me being really physical, lush chunks of oil paints in deep, slightly spooky, dreamlike surrealist landscapes.

I've used MangaUpdates to keep track of everything I read for 11 years now. I just realized that you can get a "Likes" summary based on your public lists. Here's mine:

so once me and my wife were watching a documentary where a snake ate like a million eggs. that snake just went to fucking town on eggs. and the snake made the eggs look so good that i kept thinking about it, and thinking about it, and thinking about it, and eventually it was 11pm and i ran out of willpower and decided to eat one (1) singular raw egg just to prove to myself that the snake was surely a liar.

the snake was not a liar. texture is like, super important to me and raw eggs are very Texture so i had another one, and then another one, and then another one, and eventually i ran out of eggs.

i had like, fifteen raw eggs.

i didnt really know how to explain this momentary madness to my wife, so my Plan was to put all the eggshells into a grocey bag, and then throw that grocery bag in the dumpster, and if she never noticed that would be Excellent and if she noticed immediately i could lie and say that the eggs went bad.

except i cant lie very good, and of course with murphys law being such, i got salmonella.

so i threw up a lot and my wife asked me what poisoned me so and i tried very hard to dodge the question but i was oozing shame like oil from a room temperature cheese and eventaully i gave in and told her everything and to her enormous credit she was more flabbergasted than actually upset. she did make me promise to not eat any more raw eggs, which i have stuck to, and she gives me weird looks during nature documentaries now as if desire was the only thing keeping me from eating thousands of pounds of krill anyway i made a joke earlier about being able to eat my age in eggs and my sister in law in law made a drawing to comemorate the moment and also because it was my birthday. she's excellent. thank you 10000000% @cintailed. you should all visit her page and admire her work.

the funniest meltdown ive ever had was in college when i got so overstimulated that i could Not speak, including over text. one of my friends was trying to talk me through it but i was solely using emojis because they were easier than trying to come up with words so he started using primarily emojis as well just to make things feel balanced. this was not the Most effective strategy... until. he tried to ask me "you okay?" but the way he chose to do that was by sending "👉🏼👌🏼❓" and i was so shocked by suddenly being asked if i was dtf that i was like WHAT???? WHAT DID YOU JUST SAY TO ME?????????? and thus was verbal again

The world exists in such a baffling state of simultaneous sex-aversion and sex-hegemony. Every social platform on the internet is trying to banish sex workers to the shadow realm but I can't post a tweet without at least two bots replying P U S S Y I N B I O. People are self-censoring sex to seggs and $3× but every other ad you see is still filled with half-naked women. Rightwingers want queer people arrested for so much as existing in the same postal code as a child and are also drumming up a moral panic about how teenage boys aren't getting laid enough. I feel like I'm losing my mind.

White people are miserable, racist losers period. They’ve even been getting mad at Japanese people for correcting them about Yasuke as well.
