I’m trying to do something right with my kids, 4&7 year olds, are both extremely excited about these tiny mp3 players I got them and loaded up with public domain audiobooks… it’s the most technology they’ve ever had. Librovox and archive.org ftw!

A valuable read about the core of a republic. "Cruelty, even when legal, corrodes civic trust. It teaches citizens that power is something to fear rather than something they collectively own. It signals that consent is no longer the foundation of governance." thefulcrum.us/ethics-leade...

Thanks for the shoutout! “Cory Kerr is tackling the state of things today with a sharp eye and a sharper tongue.”

Alright! I’m going to bed to read comics on my iPad until my mind gives up its desire to make sense of the absurdity of the universe and I can be unconscious. Goodnight all!

The final pages of my 8 page painted comic! Check out Yaggi’s “Tale of Two Vows” open.substack.com/pub/goomachi...

I’m excited for everyone to see these pages I’m going to drop soon. They’re looking great and this little contained story is working out well. goomachine.substack.com

Lazy Saturday making comics, Legos with the kids, and doing the sauna & cold plunge.

I’ve got a problem… I’m doing a story within a story in my comic so I switched art style’s and… it’s going really well… I’m not sure why that’s concerning, but it’s freaking me out

I feel this. It's no coincidence that gardening was something I enjoyed this year. Fewer devices, less tracking, more care. Paper books, friends IRL, walking, tea, perfume, cinema, gigs... Just be mindful that the attention economy is *not*your friend and not everything is accomplished by shopping.

short pitch of my comic. If you like ninja monks and breaking up monopolies, give it a try youtu.be/2p0Doz-7ykg?...

Movie you’ve watched more than six times with a gif. Hard mode: no Stars (Wars nor Trek), LOTR, or Marvel, Disney Animated or Pixar.

hey, I am not gonna doompost about it necessarily but, a glance around will tell you it's a hard & stressful time for artists, and especially so this year consider dropping a kofi donation, or reposting a shop link, or even just, leave a comment so someone knows you like their work it does matter

Uh, is food okay? This feels like a cry for help

The main problem with the Luddites was that they didn’t understand that their lives were required by the government and industrialists for the sake of efficiency, “Had they been better instructed, they would have known that it was their duty to lie down in the nearest ditch and die.”

Analyzing James Harren's original art - illo talk pages with Cory Kerr and Scott Lost youtu.be/PESD-h9lH40

Doing the mental work is important. youtu.be/YDVE5SNeaRY?...

Comic book page inked on a framework 12 timing Linux using Krita.

“Put Your Heart Into It” is an animated short about the distribution of art taking advantage of the artist. I’m really proud of this one youtu.be/6MJRBflbczM?...

I have been boycotting Starbucks for over 45 years

Btw, have you listened to my video on the negative effects of using ai on your brain? It’s worth a watch youtu.be/YDVE5SNeaRY?...

“Maybe, but is it worth doing this?” A-freaking-men

If you ever wonder why your artist friend is so pissed off whenever they see AI slop used instead of real, human-created art, it's exactly what you think:

Wheelbarrows are a Han dynasty invention, one big monowheel at the center became the standard. Sail carriages and carts start showing up in 6th century. Such a coooool part of history, let it inspire your own Fantasy Worldbuilding.

Ai is ruining students. Teaching students to use ai is as destructive as doctors telling people to smoke a pack a day for weight loss instead of encouraging healthy foods and exercise.

Using ai will ruin you brain youtu.be/YDVE5SNeaRY?...

"This is not a Doomer anti-AI video. This is a warning to avoid automating the very things that will make you effective and powerful in the marketplace." open.substack.com/pub/corykerr...

I got a framework 12 to see how it and Linux would hold up in an illustration, design, and animation setting. Trying to blaze some paths away from the monopolists youtu.be/04waFOnRiDQ?...

Amazon is helping fund a $300 million build of a ballroom for the White House. Independent bookstores are donating to food banks and organizations that help with food insecurity. They are not the same.

Penciling and inking while I talk about our constitutional right to public protests youtu.be/y3e3n9liMig?...

Well, I’m going to take a break from drawing my comic and build a modular computer, install Linux on it, and attempt to replace Adobe with Open Source software while listening to an audiobook about a Scottish wizard fighting a Druid in Australia… It’s going to be fun

I hate grading. I refuse to use ai to grade because these students are paying for feedback and expertise, not slop/filler/word-count/content… okay, back to grading

The main problem with the Luddites was that they didn’t understand that their lives were required by the government and industrialists for the sake of efficiency, “Had they been better instructed, they would have known that it was their duty to lie down in the nearest ditch and die.”

New pages dropping soon goomachine.substack.com/p/rage-of-en...

New pages of Rage of Enlightenment at corykerr.com/comic

Dropped a couple of new pages corykerr.com/comic

I purchased the Spider-Man 2 PC port and it looks incredible. Unfortunately it is buggy as all get out and freezes within a minute of launching it. Had to get a refund. Spider-Man 1 was a little buggy for a bit and they patched it… so maybe they’ll fix 2, but right now it’s awful

The oversized issue #1 of my comic is out. corykerrart.gumroad.com/l/rage-of-en... Machine breaking, monopoly busting, history bending comic: Rage of Enlightenment. Instead of boring people talking about all that stuff, you’ve got rad-looking insects living it!

I should rerelease my First Amendment shirt… I feel like a few people need a reminder

This page is progressing slowly, but it’s coming along. It’ll be worth it when it’s done

I’m playing with the idea of inking roughs on this page (skipping pencils). It’s indie comics, I can do whatever I want.

There was a time when nerd culture wasn’t ubiquitous and we’d all get excited when a tv show or a musician was seen wearing one of our threadless shirts or homestarunner was referenced or something. I just got this text from my kid and it made my day.

One of the challenges of indie comics is that I just wrote something that is so freaking good… but it’s going to take me a while to draw all the pages leading up to it, so no one gets to see it for a while.

I built another model for reference. These are the bones of the MGL (Mechanical Goo Location) dung finding machines in my comic Rage of Enlightenment.

I know this isn’t a big deal to some, but I figured out how to install a program on my Linux system. Spear shall be shaken, shield be splintered, a sword-day, a red day, ere the sun rises!

Welp… it’s midnight and I need to wake up in 4.5 hours to drive for 2.5 hours… but then I’ll be at a lake with my family… so I’m not complaining, I just wish I was tired now because I definitely will be tomorrow
