I met this Manga artist at a book fair this spring and bought two of her books. Today I wrote her how impressed I am with her work, and how exceptional her drawings/flow/humor/dialogues are - which they truly are. She was so, so happy! Immediately wrote back a long email and shared how she was […]

The poetry of these children arises from the fact that we find in them all the problems, all the sufferings of the adults, who remain offstage. [...] They are the monstrous infantile reductions of all the neuroses of a modern citizen of industrial civilization […] [Original post on mastodon.art]

Went to my kids' school yesterday for parents' night, and boy did my body exactly know what to do: Huddle in the back row, mind-wandering mode on, scribble for your life! It was like I never left. #dadtoot #artistslife

How I wish this #manga by Mizuki Shigeru would be translated into English! He portrays the life of one of Japan’s most fascinating intellectuals, Kumagusu Minakata – naturalist, Buddhist micobiologist and probably Japan’s first environmental activist. 1/2 […] [Original post on mastodon.art]

I’m a huge admirer of comic artist Larry Marder, and love this #FantasticFour-themed cover by him. It was FF-co-creator #JackKirby who – through his art – introduced Marder to Native American designs, especially #Hopi kachinas. Very elegant how this abstract […] [Original post on mastodon.art]

No shade but while folks on other platforms might be drawing "comics", us Fedi artists are creating #gravy novels.

Just stumbled upon this box my daughter glued together for me many years ago, when she was just beginning to write single letters. I love the floating island she has drawn on it, but the secret highlight are all the zigzag lines around it. I remember asking […] [Original post on mastodon.art]

"When the overall economy gets sick, the #comics business gets pneumonia," Rob Salkowitz wrote last year in an article for ICv2. Now it seems to be starting: From July, the #spawn titles from Image Comics will see a price hike from $ 2.99 to $ 3.99 USD – that's 33%. This is remarkable for a […]

Spilled my india ink today, damn that stuff is powerful – what a heavily pigmented mess, all over myself, the table, the parquet floor. Not grumbling too loudly, though, ‘cause against all odds, the current page has been spared. Plus it won’t happen again for quite some time now, there’s a […]

I’m a proud dad today. In her English test my daughter was told to read an autobiographical text and then infer the author’s gender from hobbies like ”skateboarding”. She wouldn’t have any of it. #gender #school #sexism #education #genderequality #feminism #gendernorms #stereotypes

I’m feeling increasingly stupid not to use #ai on my #comics. Comics are abuzz with AI craze, and it’s not just the big corpos. It’s indie artists who let LLMs draw their panel borders, or comic scholars using #AIArt​'s limitations - its hallucinatory, multi-thumbed surrealism - as means of […]
