I don’t understand how everything has gotten so complicated to do. The last time I printed comics it’s was so straight forward. I didn’t even have to talk to a person and now everything is so convoluted I feel insane.

The best (lamest) part of being a comic artist is working for months on something and you can’t post anything about it so it looks like you’re just sitting around

Conclusion: I think I am back to regularly scheduled program. There isn’t really a definitive way to determine if this is deliberate fuckery or just glitching. But the way the algorithm is built shows that even if it is deliberate our interactions dictate what gets show to us next

Just to document for posterity- TikTok had the US acquisition go through on like the 22nd. People have been saying different things about how that affected their algorithm. My partners got -more- radical and mine put me exclusively on indigenous TikTok for awhile

Hey comics and literary friends, has anyone worked with Red Quill Books before? Have any thoughts to share? I would love to hear them 👂👂👂

Every job board I have been a part of for the last 10 years now requires you to pay a monthly subscription fee in order for it to actually do you any good and I don’t know why I should work on a dystopian comic when we have dystopia at home.

Today’s the day! I will be hanging out with the Longbox Punk live at 1pm MST/3pm EST to talk about the new anthology “Mother!”

Starting off the new year with a brand new guest! Tune in tomorrow as I welcome @mxartsypants.bsky.social on to the show to talk about the upcoming anthology entitled MOTHER! (submissions are open until 1/5 🔗⬇️) Join us when we go live at 3:00pEST here: www.youtube.com/live/oUXUHMx...

Diaries from a Creative Director: We can tell when you’re lying and it does not look good for you.

Hivemind still has submissions open for their upcoming anthology "Mother!"

I dont want to be so sad about this. But they made me feel so small and like -I’m the idiot- even though i have been doing this since 2009 and have production art experience. Their lack of basic quality control and “drag and drop and forget about it” approach is the problem.

I truly truly truly cannot dissuade the comics community enough to never use Kablam printing again. They used to be the place to go for indie creators but now they cannot hide how much they don’t give a fuck about anything besides their bottom line.

Anyone on BlueSky looking to hire an artist/writer or like gift wrapper? I am truly painfully available for anything.

Despite what it says on the page, it won’t be 3 days left until 10:00PM CST 😅 Letters from the Void is only $23 away from 70% funded! Help us out www.kickstarter.com/projects/luk...

Turns out the SNAP benefits are not coming back. Trump is defying the courts....again. link below to donate bc what the actual fuck is going on. www.paypal.com/paypalme/sus...

Gotta say, poverty really zaps the creative juices.

Listen up, everyone. This comic I’m part of needs some help reaching the finish line so I’m gonna need you all to repost it, share it, back it, any of the above. I want to post a photo of the comic when it’s done and be like “I helped”. www.kickstarter.com/projects/luk...

If you see this, post a vampire that isn’t Dracula

Speaking of vampires that are not Dracula, have you read this web comic? It’s a goodie

I know I am posting like crazy, but I am in a mood. I was just getting ready to launch the Hivemind site since I am getting ready for the next anthology and I’m like “well Wix, you just lost that money son”

Only $62 to hitting 60% 😱 Let’s get it today! Every little bit helps. www.kickstarter.com/projects/luk...

If you see this, post a vampire that isn’t Dracula. Yay!

I love digital art so much. I think I get my best work there, but the AI take over of every program and platform and absolutely every piece of tech becoming a subscription is making me want to abandon all tech entirely

Anyway, who are you using the host your website because Wix is dead to me?

So AI works really well for big companies and our corporate overlords but continues to find new and exciting ways to screw with every day people, a story time:

@lukewhenderson.bsky.social current project is funding on kickstarter! “After eons of humanity shouting its anxieties and fears into it, the Void has decided it wants to tell its own tales via hidden letters.” Check it out now! www.kickstarter.com/projects/luk...

Good morning BlueSky. It’s Halloween week 🎃 and I am choosing to focus on nothing else going on until Nov. 1st

✨Creator Spotlight✨ Nicholas Aaron Hodge created a wonderful script for “Prism” and is now working on publishing his next project “The Werewolf Lives” Check it out below ⬇️⬇️⬇️

Well I am finally separating all the Hivemind socials from my own and discovered that on all platforms “co-op” ends up reading as “coop” and you know what? I like it. We’re all living in this coop together. We’re a hive inside of a coop on farm making comics.

@lukewhenderson.bsky.social is at it again with another kickstarter for another cool story! They are trying to snag $100 today to hit 50% funded! www.kickstarter.com/projects/luk...

Hey so, running an indie publisher is hard. Send help or $500

Ya’ll, I’m exhausted today, so go follow Letters from the Void or something 😅 We launch next week, you’ll like it, trust me, we’ve got really cool creators and and it’s a nifty concept and blah blah blah www.kickstarter.com/projects/luk...

I had the great opportunity to do an alternate cover for “Heartless Bastards” #2 and it is funding NOW on kickstarter! Check out The Heartless Bastards #1-2: Heartless. Merciless. Godless. by Shawn Lewis on @kickstarter.com www.kickstarter.com/projects/imm...

Charlie Kirk spent years calling gun deaths the “price of freedom.” He mocked empathy & grieving parents, called Black women intellectually inferior, targeted academics, and taught young conservatives that blood was a fair trade for liberty. Then a bullet found him. open.substack.com/pub/drstacey...

Even when you are 16 years into a career, it still makes you feel really bad when people try to scam you with fake jobs and opportunities.

$763 away from hitting the funding goal!

Hey BlueSky comics friends! @nyaliss.bsky.social has a new project on kickstarter and it’s only a little bit away from meeting its goal! Help rad people make rad comics! www.kickstarter.com/projects/nya...

I just want to hit 40 followers before I launch. Currently at 37. Please? I'd love to hit 50 but that might not be possible.

I have been working on this one forever but I have an art fair this weekend and really wanted to get some prints made. I found out they slotted me in the kids section this year though so we’ll see how it goes…. #hotghoulsummer 🦇🏖️👙💀 #illustration #poolparty

If anyone missed the chance to get in on the funding campaign, “Prism” is up for preorder until the end of the month! www.ncelestesnyder.com/product-page...

I decided to try to take an actual work break this weekend. I made a cake and the just did different art. It’s 2:30, I got to wake up at 6 but I finished whatever this this….

We are funded! Stay tuned for more updates but the fundraising blitz is over! Thank you to everyone who supported us and believed in this project! I can’t wait to see it in print!

If we make it to $5500 I could do an initial 100 book run….👀 👀 👀

@mxartsypants.bsky.social has made something really special with some fantastic creators. Let’s make it happen! Only a few hrs left. www.kickstarter.com/projects/pri...

Prism has hit its funding goal, which means the book gets made. But that also means now is the best time to make sure you get a copy! Get in while you can! #kickstarter #indiecomics #comicbooks www.kickstarter.com/projects/pri...

I remember being on deviantart when I was around 14 and seeing @mooncalfe1.bsky.social first posts there. I have followed her career every second since. I think I did two reports on her in college. I wanted to grow up to be an artist just like her. I still can’t stop staring at her work.

WE’RE SO CLOSE I’M GONNA THROW UP!

We’re so close to doing it folks! $608 until funded! And then after today you’ll get a break from the constant posting!

$848 in 33 hours to bring Prism: An Anthology of Tomorrow by @mxartsypants.bsky.social to life on @kickstarter.com! Let’s make this book happen!! www.kickstarter.com/projects/pri...
