I have complaints and I need an outlet to get it outta my system so here comes that: I am in sensory hell, idk what's up but the past few days everything smells nauseating, everything is way too loud, everything is dirty and everything is touching me. My frustration tolerance has just plummeted-

Now? when the State you declare is one of ruin? Canada is not run by leaders of morals but by cowards who wait until the damage has been done in an attempt to be on the right side of history. I'll be living the rest of my life speaking to the reality of our country's shameful response.

Artists who take photos of your drawings with your phone, how do you do it? Is it an app or something? Mine look bad and I go in the editor to fix them and I'm never sure if it's better or worse just help. Also my light is bad and they're always a weird angle to avoid casting a shadow. Android fwiw

Artists are already self censoring to avoid losing access and their jobs. The high poisitions in the arts will be given to those willing to avoid ever really saying anything.

And in Canada, follow @cai.abb (Canadian Authors and Illustrators Against Book Bans) over on Instagram! Here on bsky, follow @robinstevenson.bsky.social or @whatwouldjuliedraw.bsky.social!

This is a math hate account now. If you love math I got no business with you.

Imagine if there was a link! Imagine if it had been given to me instead of sending me to fish around on Puck myself! Imagine!!! puck.news/newsletter_c...

The guy got a 2nd, nearly identical dog. A+, incredible business acumen. More dogs.

We've only received single-digit event proposals so far! 😢 Did you attend any of our incredible online panels this past year? Those came from folks submitting their panel ideas! Event proposals are open to the public. You do NOT have to be a @cartoonist.coop member to pitch us a NIF event!!¹

So I recently learned that Instagram Stories know if you look at them even if you don't click a heart. I only ever see a story by accident but now I'm like shit my frmr colleague is gonna know I opened Instagram one extra time this week and wordlessly acknowledged a photo of their sandwich.

I’m glad to see more artists turn away from the overproduction norm of Patreon and Ko-Fi and use the platforms more like tip jars. We’re all so tired already, we shouldn’t have to burn ourselves out even more for a couple extra bucks a month

I'm at the Gouttiere & Gribouillis art market this weekend! Please come by!!! #montrealartist #montreal #crowtime

something to keep in mind with fascist oligarchs swooping in to buy ALL OF MEDIA for pennies on the dollar is that a lot of corporate consolidation was sold to consumers as "imagine if your best friends mickey mouse and tony stark could play games with you" and it always came at labors' expense

Current trays and wooden panels available for sale. DM me if you're interested in any of these or would like more info.

I got my booster shot yesterday and now I feel crappy, it's so unfair.

wow, fucking amazing, middle management ass slavery fetish bullshit. it's so hard to book yourself a haircut or order some groceries. they built a half baked program to let you microdose the fantasy of being a billionaire who has people doing all of these things for them. i'm so full of hate rn

I don't think it's overdramatic to say that we must consider whether we want "working artist" to be a viable prospect in the near future, and how to materially protect the field from corporations, execs, and managers all too happy to automate creative production with AI.

banger banger banger 🔥🔥🔥

there is no way in the world they aren't going to be able to pull your interactions with ChatGPT. They are going to compare the ChatGPT draft with your finished work and if it's not more than let's say 30% different they are going to fire you. Jesus Christ. how is this not obvious

Math is gonna kill me and nobody cares, they just keep on letting math exist like it's a normal thing.

The people in your life who can name 1 tv critic will say Alan Sepinwall, I'd bet money on it. It's been dire for writers for years now but it does feel shocking when one of the remaining critics people really read is let go from a big outlet like that.

I don't know why but that yellow "chicken flavor" salt is just freaking incredible, I love anything that tastes like that.

There is no detached posture that can take you where you want art to take you.

I don't totally understand what this is but I really liked it!!! typeofyou.alltheway.tw/en/

C-2 is a perfect, repulsive example of the kind of policy violence our govt thinks it can quietly slide under the door now that all the Elbows are Down. Don't let them.

Hey Canadian friends, let's sign this petition!! It takes less than 2 minutes and is an official thing you can do 💪 For context, Canada's C-2 bill paves the way for the US gov't to access Canada's private civilian data based on "security of the border", and "other security measures". It's bad!

Hello #PortfolioDay I do illustrations inspired by medieval illuminated manuscripts!

scarecrows win in scarecrows vs mannequins. their powers don't come from technology.

Marcy is always helping out - gassing up other cartoonists, sharing our work and maintaining a steady, clear eyed hopefulness in the face of a pretty hostile world. Please make it a little gentler by helping her out too.

it would be cool to actually reach the goal 🙏

BTW if anyone knows a version of these that WON'T fade in the sun or otherwise degrade please let me know!!! I've been looking but nothing yet.

I recently learned about tempera sticks and I'm really enjoying them, they're gushy and slick like drawing with lipstick but not sticky or thick like an oil pastel. They dry really matte and flat as long as you don't layer too much, and you can draw right over them with pen or pencil! #sketchbook

Apparently Newsom still needs to sign this — Call or Email to tell him to do this ASAP

I wanna date someone with really long arms and a huge rolling pin who wants to flatten my back like cookie dough. That's how I'll know I've found the one, big rolling pin.

Hey SPX @smallpressexpo.bsky.social! Here’s where and when to find me today!! See you there!!

I drew a big duck before bed and I think it was too exciting, I keep thinking about the big duck.

I love Great News, I looked for a home release recently but there wasn't any. It was on Netflix for awhile but it isn’t anymore, I don't know if you can watch it anywhere.

Hey, it's #webcomicday ! Mine is Blue Hollow, an Appalachian-gothic queer YA heavily featuring magical realism! Onion Pendergrass discovers he is The One, a benevolent nature cryptid, when the mystery of his beloved father's disappearance leads him to a crumbling blue house deep in the mountains.

If you enjoy Silk Song go buy a copy of Bug Boys right now. I never played those games so I have no idea how funny that statement is

NEW PATRICK STAR SHOW EPISODES TONIGHT AT 6PM!! See Haw and Li’l Past-scals, both extremely boomer-ish episodes and some of my favorites for that reason. Golden age of animation fans (which, if you're following me, is probably the lot of you) may be particularly interested in the latter! 👀

Sitting here going "how am I going to explain Groypers to my mom" like I'm Snoop Dog watching Lightyear with that 6 year old.

I'm like 1 more meltdown away from dropping this math class and by extension this degree. I can't retain anything, the lectures are so unhelpful I have to look up every concept on mathisfun.com to even barely understand so everything takes 2x as long, then my assessment answers are still wrong.

Be safe, SPXers!!!

It looks like it WILL be on Ye Olde Switch!!! Now I'm happy AND worried about my impulse control!!! bsky.app/profile/supe...

Is Hades 2 really really REALLY only gonna be on Switch 2??? I have a Switch 1 and I want this game SO BAD but it's going to ruin my life and I don't want to spend 500$ on that. Will it be on the Switch Sr. eventually, how does this stuff work?

hey friends, if you teach comics and graphic novels (reading them or writing them) can you please tell me how you make the readings accessible? do you prefer to type up descriptions of the images in each panel, or record an audio file of you describing them, or something else?
