i'll probably delete this later because it's mean but it's very interesting reading posts from an online artist who was very nasty to me n my friends 12-13 years ago... they seem to be failing at art and at life and i think i know why and it's because they haven't actually changed as a person since

I love becoming a better writer. Augh. Feel like I've improved exponentially since finishing my first graphic novel

this young alternative girl who woulda been like 17 or 18 kept staring at me at the record store today haha it was adorable tbh like girlie i get it i always stare at cool older alt people too 🥹

Made a dumb fucking millennial character for a villain in a new project and got my existing millennial characters to beat him up.

Deleted the instagram app (ideally permanently) and also one of my accounts (temporarily). And suddenly I am no longer doomscrolling, am drawing after work, and seem to have more time for myself in the day. Who would have known.

"Artists peak at 30", "30 under 30", "by 30 you should" ridiculous. Arts industries capital craves young people to exploit and burn out. It doesn't want older artists thriving and guiding the young. It also doesn't want artists to exist. Stop letting cannibals tell you you only matter on a plate.

This is the only correct response.

What a start to the year for the Australian literary scene! Adelaide Writers' Week boycotted and cancelled, board steps down. Writers Victoria facing a funding shortfall after failing to acquire usual grant and now acclaimed children's author Craig Silvey charged with child exploitation offences.

We don’t dance on the grave of NFTs enough. I had a year where I was repeatedly told by bozos I was going to be irrelevant and extinct for not embracing them, I should be allowed a victory lap.

We’re at the point now where people are calling being anti-LLMs as “outrage” as a convenient way to characterise it as unreasonable, and it’s annoying. I’m not outraged, I’m repulsed. I don’t want your stolen shit. It’s gross. You are a fucking loser to me

I thought all of you were boycotting spotify but i woke up this morning and. Oh.

I just became aware of this incredibly relatable drawing by John Singer Sargent.

if you're one person making a comic by yourself, don't treat yourself like you should function on the same level as comics that have multiple people working on them. your backgrounds can be squiggles and colors. allow yourself room to be abstract with details and give yourself some grace

some pieces for the upcoming postcard show at gallery nucleus!!

Once you start thinking of AI as a war on humanity, on human thought, on human inquiry, on human labor, on nuance and critical thinking, it slots in pretty seamlessly with the right wing ideological project, oligarchical political projects, big tech's political projects, etc

i got a bachelors in graphic design might as well use it in some way...

Gonna go even further: don't refer to it as "consuming media" when doing this. You aren't a consumer - it's not a product. You read books. You look at art. You watch movies and/or videos. Be careful about word choice. Reject "consume" and REJECT "CONTENT." IT IS ART. YOU ARE ENGAGING WITH ART.

When you work on a comic you are also working on toning down the perfectionistic side of yours: you'll learn the hard way that not every panel or page will be perfect (especially in the early chapters) or else you'll never get your story done. Your art evolves just like your story!

thinking about how content creators always get mad when people misinterpret their intended message and sure maybe media literacy is at an all time low but media literacy also involves YOUR responsibility as a communicator to consider the zeitgiest you are posting in and how your message may be read.

there are no fans in indy comics, only future colleagues

look, I don’t have much positive to say about jobs right now. but growing your creative skills is never a waste. in a world that prioritizes “good enough for non-experts” and the simulacra of competence, growing a practice of critical and artistic thought helps you from sliding down into the muck.

I'm doing a reading at this! 👀

I think people mostly just don't like the phrase "all art I political" because they think of politics in a very specific electoral way and not as a broad label for the conditions that shape our perspective, which funnily enough is very political

Don’t wait until you think you’re “good enough” to try to be in a gallery show, apply for a grant, put yourself out there for client work, etc You will always change and grow and in ways you will always be worried you are not good enough yet, so start moving towards your goals now
