Hæ there!
If this toot is still pinned, I am AFK on my #Iceland mission – chasing Elves and Walking Children in Nature.
It also means that I’m not able to see DMs or review follower requests atm.
Wish me luck and have a great summer!✨
If they think we’re merely raising humble tax payers here, they’re in for a reeeal treat. 🤫
State of infosec awareness in the comics community
Fellow comic artist looking at my calling card: “Ah, you’re listing all Hex color codes you’ve used – that’s so meta, I love it!”
Me: “Thanks, um, plus, it’s my fingerprint.”
For years I saw this car in my neighborhood, assuming its owner simply attached some pre-printed ornamental foil.
Then one day recently, I saw this young lady squatting in front of it, edding marker in hand, carefully adding line for line.
And I realized: the whole sprawling floral madness of sea-horses, algae and jellyfish is completely handmade!
Kudos, unknown neighbor – this is what determination looks like.
On the bright side, it's June now and that means years of yearning and longing are over: in a few weeks I will be able to see #Iceland again!
I have some research to do there for my comics project, especially on the eastern coast (Seyðisfjörður, Borgarfjörður Eystri). *And* some serious catching up with my favourite place on Earth.
It's been too long and I'm getting excited!

Gentrification -
Went to see the #DragRace finale in a spot that for years rightfully called itself “the cheapest bar in town on the cheapest street in town“ – just to learn that they will have to close end of June.
#Gentrification in #Berlin still going strong, still weakening subcultures. :-(

toxic masculinity, sui
What do we mean when we say "toxic masculinity"?
I saw, and to my shame participated in, teaching these toxic aspects of masculinity as a teenager. It has left me very aware of their poisonous impact on our whole culture.
This comic explains in a very clear and heartbreaking way:

How to explain Berlin's Comic Invasion Festival to tech geeks
“ [s]Well it's booths and talks and discussions...[/s] ”
“ [s]Picture an open world version of Kickstarter's [i]Comics and Illustration[/i] tab...[/s]”
“Okay, it's like re:publica, but without the Bundeswehr. And no 200 Euro paywall. But lots of comics.”
So support your local indie comix culture and drop by!
Last chance today, open til 7 pm.
On the evening of May 8, I'll be at @otherlandberlin@twitter.com from 8PM on, the science fiction bookstore in #Kreuzberg, talking about the new book and related themes
Last day of my kids’ workshop today, and one girl gave me an idea that will console me the next time I’ll rather want to work on my own comic instead of teaching others.
She’s also into Karate and we talked belts and ranks. Turns out you can only achieve some of the (higher-than-black-belt) Dans if you are actively teaching others. There’s no other way!
So there’s a level of excellency I could never achieve as lone wolf. Teaching’s never a one-way street – as Karate Kid taught me today. 🥋 🙂
