Art For Art's Sake

Gunwallace at 12:00AM, Feb. 13, 2025



I was tempted to write about something easy and non-controversial this week, but then decided I would just keep being me. At least this post has something to do with comics, and current news. I'm genuinely interested in what people have to say on this topic, as it it ...

Poetry Time 108: Transmissions

Andreas_Helixfinger at 12:00AM, Feb. 9, 2025



Lights upon a fading sky.
Whipping the night to encircle the dead
Blocks are talking to your I.
Curve them a wave and encircle them red
Joys comes dancing you goodbye
A smile so wide it will encircle your head.

NaaN (Now, always and Never)

Poetry Time 107: Posthuman

Andreas_Helixfinger at 12:00AM, Feb. 2, 2025



Event horizon. The faintest stroke of the rosey dawn.
The end of time or so it sounds.
Clawing, scratching and crying to abound.

As my past self gives its final yawn, please, no funeral mound.
Let the belly of the wolf be my final ...

Buffering

Emma_Clare at 12:00AM, Feb. 1, 2025



If there is one thing my comic partner and I have realised these past few years is this. The first half of the year is manic for us. Every year we get together to inscribe our goals into stone and within two months life has bulldozed its way through them ...

Poetry Time 106: Cold to Hot Shadow

Andreas_Helixfinger at 12:00AM, Jan. 26, 2025



Your heart’s beating inside the hourglass
Orbiting your soul system it comes to pass
Begging for a new season to amass
Alas, white shadows still lasts–shrinking
But the earth is now drinking and the silver shifts to brass
Your heart’s still beating in the hourglass.

Banes at 12:00AM, Jan. 23, 2025



One of the main drivers of story is the principle of CONTRAST.
