Never felt crazier than when I explained the plot of Jessica Jones S2 to my partner last night

draw is work

I guess boycotting Harry Potter feels pretty trivial to me, because I'm an adult. if someone told me I shouldn't eat Gerber's baby food, I'd be like, that is no problem. I'm way ahead of you

i think sometimes cis people truly have a hard time understanding that jk rowling is a living person actively using her wealth to fund the international assault on trans lives. she’s not some Complicated Author we can have a spirited debate about separating from the art with!!!!!

Regularly I am amazed at the accuracy of the advice "If you feel like you hate everyone, eat. If you feel like everyone hates you, sleep. If you feel like you hate yourself, shower. If you feel like everyone hates everyone, go outside."

Support Sol and Josh please!!!!

Incredibly funny that the president of the United States can do this and retain command of the American Armed Forces, but I said it about a literal Nazi and got fired from a job writing superhero comics.

The eternal struggle to feel like one is adequately Doing Comics while working a 9-5

I'm going to be opening up spots for (free) individual comic critique/ feedback sessions! Aiming to work with emerging/ intermediate cartoonists without BFA/MFAs, who'd like feedback on a comic at least at thumbs & text-roughed-in stage. stay tuned for a short application in the next few weeks!

“Award-winning” as a euphemism for “diverse” (which was already sort of a euphemism) is a new low

NSFW Artists being attacked on all fronts while the government actively protects pedos is fucking nuts and shouldn't be ignored.

The folks I asked to write me letters of rec for a residency said yes and idk obviously I haven't gotten the residency yet, but their saying yes is very affirming, and I just wanted to share that lol

I procrastinated yesterday by writing something I wish somebody had taught me.

The wildest thing about early X-Files for me is that Gillian Anderson still looks that good

Pay attention, aspiring cartoonists

This is one of my most popular comic-making tips on twt, so I'll bring it to bsky! ⭐ When drawing comics, only 1-2 panels on a page need to be VERY GOOD. ⭐ The other panels are just there to lead the readers to each VERY GOOD panel and then to the page turn.

TEXAS KID, MY BROTHER A graphic novel A comic artist is haunted by the sprung-to-life embodiment of his much more successful cartoonist father’s world-famous creation. Written & Drawn by legendary artist Igor Kordej

memories are short. reminder of this crushing statement from (one) woman: "I dropped my dream of being a comic artist shortly after and fell into a depression while I tried to figure out how I could have my future still be art related. I’ve hardly read a comic since.” www.tcj.com/the-2020-rep...

I've been getting back into comics while I wait for more info from my concept job, and I thought I'd make a post about something very important to me, which is COMIC PANEL VARIATION and HOW TO THINK ABOUT IT.

Super curious about what it means that Terry Moore is moving to Dark Horse!! Strangers in Paradise was super important to me in high school (and honestly was so hugely influential to my development as a cartoonist). He's been a self-pubbed guy for so long www.comicsbeat.com/exclusive-da...

Respect to all the crafts people and artists nitpicking generative AI for its various visual continuity errors. But imo this is entirely the wrong way to critique AI. The goal isnt to point out its inaccuracies or lack of realism. The goal is to delegitimize the method entirely

Someone has sure already made this observation but the fact they can convert all those empty warehouses into prison camps means they could have converted them into housing, community centers, job training centers or, hell, libraries or schools all along. It’s always a matter of will not resources.

We've still got a few crit slots open for Thursday!!

Very excited to finally share my new book is now up for pre-order! It's for ages 6-10. Part comics how-to book, part silly joyful narrative, this book has it all for the young cartoonists in your life! Pre-order today!

Pillion had a lot of potential, but I don't really think it hit the mark. It's messy, and kind of just about an abusive relationship that happens to be BDSM-y to be edgy, and doesn't actually seem interested in depicting BDSM. The more I think about it, the less I like it. Beautifully acted though!

Seeing artists get “what is this style called” flings me into despair… on one hand it’s a type of adaption for tag based social media, on the other hand the style is called that person’s fucking drawings!!! That style is called BEING ALIVE

Remember being 15 years old and looking at the posters on your wall and listening to songs that made you feel fucking alive and thinking to yourself "My dream is to become... a social media content creator pedaling meaningless engagement bait, immediate gratification, and cynically following trends"

If you don't finish the art you get sick of mid-project, you're never going to finish anything.
