the illustrious IRIS JAY @irisjaycomics@mastodon.social

had a dream last night that there was a third string of cutscenes after Death Stranding’s second credit sequence that you had to play in VR as Mads Mikkelsen and what the fuck is wrong with my brain

I’d post this on twitter but after the one guy who used to be Elaine’s Boss on Seinfeld @‘d me when I said I liked “The Postmodern Prometheus” I’m not ready for any more celebs to get up in my mentions

justin bieber voice Where Are Ü Now

Remember that melting screamy guy from the x-files opening? I wonder how he’s doing now

(Also OH MY GOD it’s so gory, if that’s not your thing then Don’t)

(Is Hannibal good? Absolutely, but not necessarily for the reasons everyone says. Also it’s fucking camp as hell and and kind of an excuse to deconstruct and examine the legacy of Hannibal’s character, and once i realized that the whole thing clicked for me)

“Is X-Files good?” No. “What’s good about it?” It’s... hard to explain. “Okay then, why do you like it?” When it’s good it makes my brain do the good thing

Hannibal is definitely gonna be one of those shows like DS9 or X-Files where I’m gonna end up watching the entirety of it again purely out of forcing it on someone else, huh

you're still worrying about what people think of your art. throw caution to the wind and let loose with some true trash. destroy your friends

to all my friends doing the "draw your mutuals' OCs poorly" meme: i'm sorry, but you're not doing it bad enough

ANYWAYS. Thanks for sticking with me through these sporadic updates (and Iris Jay Shop Talk Time), and stay tuned-- while XW will be slightly quieter during March, I still have some very exciting announcements planned..... >:3c

SO: I'm trying something different with how I write. Once March is over I'd like to have a big stack of scripts that I can just bolt forward with. Ideally, if this works, I can do this again sometime in summer and have enough XW pages to finish Volume 2 by the end of the year.

I could use my old excuse of "agh! so hectic!", but let's be real, freelancing is never NOT hectic, and the pandemic has only been an added psychic drain. Drawing is (mostly) a craft, but writing requires an open-minded state of play that's harder to achieve these days. It sucks!

ALSO A QUICK PROGRAMMING NOTE: Updates will continue to be a little thin on the ground for a bit. Focusing on scripting has been a bit of a struggle recently, so I've decided to devote the entirety of March to rebuild the script buffer on all four of my current comic projects.

Everyone who's anyone is here! There's a new #CrossedWires update live on http://crossedwires.irisjay.net . #webcomics #cyberpunk

oh hey speaking of lesbian daddies, i guess there's a new St. Vincent album coming out soon https://www.stereogum.com/2117603/st-vincent-discusses-new-album-daddys-home-its-the-sound-of-being-down-and-out-downtown-in-new-york-1973/news/

Also: nazi weebs can fuck right off, don’t @ me. G’nite y’all

Anyway the Series Has Many Problems. But also: cool cigar girl, so
