Our new album is finally finished!

With us, you can journey through a fogscape of shifting modal textures punctuated with melodies that transform though myriad hues until you reach ultimate oblivion.

Fun, right?

I hope you enjoy!

I'm having a problem with gui emacs on Linux Mint. I can't kill more than a single paragraph at a time.

I've checked a half-dozen how-to-emacs sites and they all give the same instructions for marking the stuff you want to kill and using the kill command, but no matter how much I mark, it only ever kills one paragraph.

Anyone willing/able to help me figure this out?

Talent is a myth.

Don't let anyone tell you that you're not "gifted" enough to do art. All it takes is patience, focus and discipline, and those can be trained.

Look for the right teachers and learning material, surround yourself with artists better than yourself, and generally work a shit ton - you can make it.

Hey guys! This Kickstarter for an anthology based around furry authors of color is about halfway to its goal!

I think it's a really noble pursuit, and would love to see it funded so if you can toss some coins there way and let's support our POC creators!
