To our dismay, the artist and author Marjane Satrapi has passed away. As she wrote, ordinary Americans and Iranians have more in common with each other than we do with either of our governments, which have far too much in common with each other. We honor her memory and oppose the war.

i keep thinking about this i love it so much

Heartbroken to read this. Marjane & her voice will be deeply missed 💔 www.france24.com/en/culture/2...

Y'all. Please remember the artists that drew these things when sending around memes. I feel for these artists who NEVER get credited for these (and some, nowadays, are even being accused of being AI!) Here's a few common ones I see (feel free to add others, I want this to be a living thread): 🧵

i'm always saying this but it's still absolutely mental that superman red son said baby supes' capsule landed in "the ukraine, russia" and mark millar is still allowed to write comic books

happy pride month I'mm still bisexual

IMPORTANT: For any artists/writers/etc etc, using Linktree to point people to their work, from 5 July, they'll be feeding all imagery you use on your landing page into DALL-E by OpenAI. I deleted my account this morning.

Actually really bummed out that instagram deleted my account for no reason because my only other social media are bsky and tumblr, which have a combined userbase of like 20 pople

dude I saw a hedgehog outside and I about lost my mind because I am american and ive never seen one of these before

One of Jeff Bezos' rockets went up in flames last night. It's being called the "most dramatic and powerful rocket explosion since the Soviet Union's N1 rocket was destroyed during a launch ... https://kotaku.com/jeff-bezos-space-rocket-just-exploded-in-the-biggest-fireball-ive-ever-seen-2000700485

I tried to update my bio on instagram & it flagged me as a bot then wouldn't send me the sms code 👼 so it looks like my account is gone now

This is how you raised money before GoFundMe

A few months ago, I posted this comic about the new Canadian policy that allows citizenship by descent. It went viral, and then gradually, I started to get dozens of messages like this trickling in : people are getting new citizenships. People are moving countries and changing their lives.

me: so who do you think would win in a fight. peacemaker or homelander bf: homelander. he's like invincible me: but peacemaker has his eagle bf: ............

new followers, oh you wanna buy some of my comics so bad

Met a man in real life today who told me he didn't want to pay child support and when he asked me what I do for a living (I just said illustration) he suggested I use AI for it instead. Thanks brother I can tell you're full of good decisions

gonna try to do some pokemon acrylic marker art card commissions! cute pokemon preferred but your interpretation of "cute" is as good as mine haha. vgen.co/namioshiro/s... #commissions #commissionsopen #pokemon

Having a word for non-Japanese comics is a very funny addition to my vocabulary but unfortunately I can never use it because it's this

After two years of occasional silly comics online, it warms my heart to say that my first actually-serious mainstream short story appears in this week's Heavy Metal no.5! People seem to like it!?!?

Some thoughts here, since I actually have a story in the Stardust anthology that just Eisner booted becaue one guy was enough of a shithead to use A.I. to produce his one page in the book. I did the story (for free) because I thought it would be weird and fun. It was. (1/?)

I had an excellent mail day yesterday as I received my comp copies of Granite with the backup story I wrote in print beautifully illustrated by @shiningcapella.bsky.social Plus, @byrononeal.com enlisted the help of @bencranewrites.com to get this issue of GL signed by @spacekicker.bsky.social !!!

best thing u can ever do to an artist is commissioning them to draw their character. im paying you to draw more of your yucky thing. and honestly i appreciate that a fucking ton

I'm pretty loyal to clip studio but it is kinda wild that they keep adding new 3d model features or auto shading but they still haven't added a decent text editor

Old #art repost: that time when I drew the Barbie mugshot meme feat. my beloved Team Rocket ❤️🚀✨🌹 #Pokemon #PokemonFanart #Jessie #James #TeamRocket

in case it's useful to anyone else, i've tossed the spreadsheet template i've been using to track my graphic novel progress in my ko-fi shop! keeps track of deadlines, pages started/finished, & how many pages you should do each day to stay on track. PWYW! ko-fi.com/s/bfcb2f39ff

I'm working on a short comic with @jnyfmg.bsky.social, and I already can't recommend her work enough. Great comedic storytelling sensibilities and wonderfully elastic characters.

I hate having emotions about real humans instead of fake ones, it just leads to stupid moments like this. #themurderbotdiaries #murderbot #tmbd #fanart

this is an actual Bluesky Rule: if you have ever so much as exchanged a single like, you are required to hold up the book in the shop and say "hey my friend wrote this"

I'm hesitant about a new X-Files show, just because The Vaping Man isn't gonna hit the same.

give! her! the! ketchup!! #pokemon #TraditionalPainting #AcrylicPainting

watching the pokemon anime while i work on comics is restoring my will to live

Impact #01 Pg 01-04 Master Race Complete 8-Page Story 1/2 Original Art Art by Bernie Krigstein EC Comics (1955)

I gave my 100% into this book as one of 3 artists. My hope is that a lot of people will get to read it. :-)

Very nostalgic about my art at the minute for some reason. Anyway here’s the A1 size art I did in 2023 for an Exhibition in the big Library in Amsterdam. It was proper fancy and expertly curated by @chadbily.eu it was an excuse to have 2 days in the city and meet nice folks at Henks and elsewhere

Only one week left to get the "We've Always Been Here" zine! 💕🏳️‍🌈 Less than 1000€ away from our goal!!! www.kickstarter.com/projects/tap... Get yourself some gorgeous queer art, and share with friends! Check @taplingzines.bsky.social for more previews!!! #queerzine #lgbtqart #lesbianart #zine

If you want to read voices of young artists in Iran, please support the comics anthology "Young in Iran" published with @comicsworkshop.bsky.social It's 264 pages, 6x9 inches, and was censored by Kickstarter. Take a look: www.sequentialartistsworkshop.org/saw-shop/p/y...

With stories illustrated by @sierrabravoart.bsky.social @jnyfmg.bsky.social and @m3rtyn.bsky.social, Scattered Futures is about the power of human connection and community in the face of an uncaring world built to grind us down.

Just wanna say that if you’re supporting financially an artist during these demanding and insane times, you’re amazing. And if you can’t, I feel you so much. Navigating life rn is batshit crazy

I know it's a tough time for everyone, but my country, Philippines, recently declared a State Emergency due to extreme oil scarcity because of the US-Iran War and I could really use help with the rising prices of everything + summer fast approaching. Any amount helps. ko-fi.com/pluviance
