should be deeply shameful "narco-terrorist" has been allowed to even be taken seriously as a term for so many years. idiotic tooth fairy world

I mean, things are tough all over. If rude criticism stops you from making art, you should probably not be making art.

speaking as and artist or writer or whatever, research (verb) is more important than research (noun)

Most of us did not choose to write or draw or design so that we could put products on the shelf. We chose to do it because it’s a set of skills we enjoy exercising, that give us fulfillment. It’s like asking a pro pitcher to just let a machine pitch for them. Fuck off and give me the ball.

Being able to draw is really neat! I would highly recommend it to anybody who likes to look at things

the empty space in children's books and seeing "illustrated by", sesame street, saturday morning cartoons, my elementary school art teacher. art museums. my mom buying reams of paper and mechanical pencils. just being immersed in creativity and creative tools with no one telling me no

This is a great tutorial on how to make zines/self publish your stuff, whatever it is

my fear is that the academic push for understanding what works "best" in comics is to the benefit of the commoditization of the medium rather than improving the medium itself

"look we're not using AI in the final product we're just using it to speed up the conceptual stage" is what a lot of dopes affecting an enlightened middle position keep saying. I truly do not get that one. You hate imagining stuff? You don't like thinking and conceptualizing? Get a grip

I may come to regret this decision, but... SCARF! Sheffield Comic ARts Fair! Next October! Liam "Pais" Hill drew our mascot! Exhibitor application form will be out soon, tables will cost as little as I can get away with! Please remember to apply so this isn't a terrible decision on my part 🙏

Mark Cuban would look at Jonathan Glazer's filmography, shake his head, and say what a shame, only a few films rich people don't care about the experience of process, because rich people don't *make* anything. they put in an order and things, people, and relationships just show up

Cartoonist Eleanor Davis gave the greatest speech alive at SPX one year and it was a variation of this. Hopefully the human clarity of it will never have you give up on art for the rest of your life.

the term "content creator" served it's purpose very well. conditioning people into seeing everyone as anyone and everything as anything, mostly among the ruling class who found it most convenient for their pockets. in that sense, generating slop is the final result of content creation

Would you like to know how to make a zine? Here's easy step-by-step instructions on how to make your own without the use of a computer by @thorazos.bsky.social

"There’s a freedom people are craving because they’re feeling so constrained, surveilled and, frankly, threatened in so many other spheres." Zines have made a resurgence as communities seek to share information on everything from ICE raids to local elections.

I feel like caves of qud's controller setup is so good that it should just become the canonical controller layout for roguelikes from now on. it's so good I might actually prefer it to mouse and keyboard. Wildly underappreciated revolutionary genre work in that one element alone

one thing thats kinda crazy about life is how much every day matters

everyone's mad about the toonboom price increase *increase* and I would to to add that I cancelled mine days ago. They reactivated it without my consent and I had to cancel it again

I'm not going to re-write a whole piece I already wrote 8 years ago, so here www.vice.com/en/article/s...

Interiors from NORCO

Daniel Clowes

As makers of anarchist zines, we are asking you to help this person who was arrested and is facing deportation for allegedly having anarchist zines.

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

finally some real representation for my people

bsky stands for becky sky

Moments ago: tenants of the South Shore apartment building that federal immigration agents raided at the end of September held a presser to announce they're forming a tenants union. They're demanding, among other things, sewage removal and heat and electricity restroration. More updates TK.

Seeing how much of the right-wing on Twitter is just bot farms, kinda lays bare how much hate and hatred is a project that needs to be constantly maintained, a fire that needs to be fed all the time lest it go out for a moment, so much time, effort, and resources to keep people angry and hateful.

If you’ve ever taken a zine from any of our tabling events then you NEED to give a shit about Daniel Rolando Sanchez Estrada, aka Des Revol. They are being charged for simply having a box of zines. If you write, print, or simply read zines, WRITE TO DES. theintercept.com/2025/11/23/p...
