"to be loved is to be changed" but as in a horrific unasked for transformation. 🤍. btw.
A man and his bunker - the first page of the self-insert framing story I drew for my next book (link to the pre-launch campaign below).
(I spent an obscene amount of time researching late soviet armored vehicle turrets for that cutaway, hours i will never get back)

The mighty tome this will be printed in will be launching TUESDAY on kickstarter - follow along here, and be first in line!
filled up my reading notebook so until i get another one. microblogging
