Hey, everyone!Welcome back to the FWACATA Podcast, where we dive into life, art, and invulnerability—whether it’s comics, politics, or philosophy. Today, I want to expand on something I touched on in this week’s episode, a moment that sparked a fire in me.It all started in class when I was talking to a student about art and creativity. She looked at me, completely earnest, and said, “I don’t think there’s a point in becoming an artist anymore. AI can do it better.”Excuse me? What? Say what again?That moment struck me like a lightning bolt. Not because I was shocked, but because of what it reveals about the world these kids are growing up in. A world where this “black box” we carry in our pockets—the phones, the endless scroll of social media, and yes, the AI hype—has convinced them to give up before they even begin.Don’t Let AI Dictate Your PassionAI isn’t the death of art. It’s a tool. A powerful tool, sure, but it’s not the end of human creativity. The belief that AI can “replace” artists misunderstands wha

Welcome to the first episode of the year! In this Monday Motivation podcast, we’re diving headfirst into the chaos and humor of setting creative goals for 2024. Forget the pressure of “New Year, New You”—we’re keeping it real, messy, and genuinely fun as we explore what it means to create with intention.Whether you’re a seasoned artist, a comic book creator, or someone just dipping their toes into the world of creativity, this episode is packed with relatable insights and a healthy dose of humor. Think of it as your weekly pep talk from that friend who’ll call you out and cheer you on simultaneously.Here’s what we’re covering:Why “New Year, New You” is a scam and how to embrace growth at your own pace.Setting realistic goals that don’t feel like an Olympic event.The art of saying “no” to draining gigs and why your energy is priceless.Making friends with deadlines (yes, it’s possible!).Actually using those shiny new sketchbooks instead of letting them gather dust.Finding joy in the creative process, mistakes a

Hey everyone! After taking a breather, I’m back with one last podcast to close out 2024. What better way to wrap up this insane year than by reflecting on the highs, lows, and all the chaotic middle ground? This post is a deep dive into the episode—available now on Patreon—and a celebration of the year that was, alongside a sneak peek into what’s coming for 2025.Let’s get into it:

(FARAGINOUS, 2008, ink on paper) Have you ever had someone tell you their plans? Not just any plans, not just vacation plans, but their plans. Do they do them? Do they come through? Or is it all bullshit?Is that person YOU? SHOW ME, DON'T TELL ME is a mantra I use in making comics, stories, action, and life. I've used it to measure people's worth and decide whether or not to start the flamethrower. Listen for more.

Welcome to today's episode, where we dive into the ideas and concstruct of self-perception and the misconceptions that come with it. You ever catch yourself thinking, “I might be a piece of shit...” We’ve all been there—those moments where we question what we know, how we know it, what it means, and where we stand in the grand scheme of things.Let’s break it down. You’ve got what you think you know about yourself, what others think they know about you, and the often messy, tangled reality that lies somewhere in between. It’s a complex equation where the variables constantly shift—how we see ourselves versus how we believe others see us, and how much of that is rooted in truth or pure misconception.Think about it. When was the last time you questioned your self-image? Or better yet, when was the last time you stopped to consider whether the person you think you are aligning with the person others perceive? It’s a trippy concept that we all wrestle with, often without even realizing it.In today’s episode, we’re

It's not just a perfume featuring whispering and three clowns jerking off on a mime. No, it's a driving force, a burning and yearning that, if tempered, can do so much and can also leave everything in ash. What do you choose? 

“To complain is always nonacceptance of what is. It invariably carries an unconscious negative charge. When you complain, you make yourself into a victim. When you speak out, you are in your power. So change the situation by taking action or by speaking out if necessary or possible; leave the situation or accept it. All else is madness.” - Eckhart Tolle In this episode, I’ll break down the fine line between constructive criticism and plain old whining, offering tips on how to get your point across with humor, grace, and maybe even a little charm. Whether you're dealing with that coworker who always "borrows" your lunch or the never-ending saga of poor restaurant service, I've got you covered. But this isn’t just about venting; it’s about turning your frustrations into a force for good—or at least a source of great stories. I'll tackle everyday annoyances with wit and wisdom, showing you how to navigate the tricky waters of modern life’s irritations. You’ll learn how to craft the perfect complaint letter, what
