I hear tell that it’s the year of the snake - I think this is the only snake-centric illustration I’ve ever drawn? But she’s got a real I Will Fight To Make Things Better energy that I think we’ll need in 2025.

Seasonal depression is something that I go through during the winter, and I try my best to put most of these emotions through my work.
We'll all get through the harsh colder months; warmth will soon come to you, through friends and loved ones. Hang tight, buddy. 🫶

Kim Stanley Robinson's thesis is that capitalist states aren't going to actually get serious about mitigating climate change until we start losing entire cities. As in, mass population loss, not just property damage.
100,000 ordered to evacuate from the second largest city in the United States, with a rising death toll we won't have accurate for days, isn't that. It's catastrophic, and it's going to get worse. But this is nowhere close to what's coming, in particular, to cities where the access to transit, and thus the ability to attempt escape from an escalating and sudden disaster, is far lower. Access to transit in LA is also far from ubiquitous. The barriers to access are obvious, whether that's the cost of vehicle ownership amidst a generally high cost of living, an anemic public transit system that has to share roads with private vehicles, and decades of congestion-inducing urban design.
I grew up in Colorado and watched fire seasons get worse and worse, one after one another, hundreds of thousands of acres of forest burning, and then suddenly whole neighborhoods outside the mountains. I lived in LA for four years, and during that time the observatory I worked at almost burned down. California has been losing towns to fires for a while now. But LA is the city that runs on producing imagery. So if there's hope to be found in this bleakness, I hope that it's more people in the imperial core sitting up, realizing the scope of what's coming, and actually demanding we put the brakes on the apocalypse we're speeding towards.
