Every few weeks I update blender and think I can spend 5 minutes to learn it and then build a really complex model, and 10 minutes later, I close the app convinced next time it will work out. (this is a diss on me not blender.)

"Wow, I have no idea how to draw"

This is a very funny little true story ( it’s short!)

It’s us vs billionaires and they’ve already bought enough elements of most governments they have the upper hand.

This was very popular the first time I posted it, the second time it really popped off!

I’m really wondering how do I archive artwork on media that will last that is digital and not tied to the cloud or hardware that might fail. I’m beginning to think we screwed the pooch abandoning blue rays and CDs For storage

Just imagine the back room power you must have to be able to do go “lads I’m about to be seriously disgraced any chance we could do a lovely profile that’ll make me look like i was only accidentally friends with a nonce and I’m just a little guy” and they still run it after all that’s happened.

I’m considering pulping a run of comics over a small typo.

Conspiracy theory: there are more muppet shows. There’s no way they haven’t greenlit the muppet show already before it was available for the public to watch and all of this is part of very clever marketing plan.

Democratizing the arts looks like universal income, low-barrier grants for both emerging and working artists, well-funded municipal arts & recreation programs, vibrant third spaces, and a well-funded public school system with progressive curriculum. Not a free pass for corporate-owned slop engines.

Found a typo on the inside cover blurb that is being printed. I suppose this is the fate of everyone’s first small press print.

Like almost everyone else, I thought this was a spoof - but no

Here's one I did for my comics class to show the kids that drawing is nice but you don't have to be great to make comics.

A poorly drawn comic I made in 2013. 😆

Think I saw the Winter Olympics animated bit that looks very ai. Boo.

Posting this again to remind you you dont have to be an amazing artist to draw comics!

There’s a new dark, humorous comics anthology Kickstarting now. From imprint Soup Drunk Princess, check out the details of I Feel Doomed. comics.3millionyears.co.uk/p/fund-me-fr...

Bezos burning the Washington post to the ground is as firm a reason for the continued bbc licence as ever there was. Eventually everything that can be owned by a billionaire will be owned by a billionaire and at that point its future will be determined by the whims of a man making 166k per minute.

You look at a shelf of manga and there are all the books in a series. You pick the series you like and even one book is a big chunky read and it you fancy two different series. That’s fine! Two different worlds no connection. Great. But you look at the marvel/dc section of hmv and you have no idea

I just saw this instagram post from the incredibly talented and breathtakingly hilarious Kate Welch, who was laid off around a year ago, and I wanted to share it here. It’s an important message, and you deserve to read it: (thread)

Judge Dredd (1995)

Jeff Bozos, amirite?

Another Deep Dive from @aiptcomics.com! It was so great to chat it up w/ @simonroy.bsky.social as his books/larger universe are some of the most interesting and relevant sci-fi I've seen in some time. Enjoy!

Morning bump for this,

Thought this was great. A cosmic horror novel about a cursed TTRPG!

Jeff Parker, Colleen Coover, and I talk about a page of original art Jeff Parker drew fairly early in his career. What does a 30 year pro see when he looks at his own early work? Find out here! youtu.be/tJmOR8rEwB8 @jeffparker.bsky.social @colleencoover.bsky.social

That‘s the spirit.

I am really enjoying a night of the seven kingdoms. Even as I’d long guessed the twist in the recent episode. (Which was spoiled for me before I saw it). It’s such fun good natured show and the cast are fun (at least until the final episode when I’m sure they’ll just kill every one)

New business cards arrived. Look good. Wondering if even having a phone number on them now is a bit of a relic. Website and email might be all I needed.

This is very good. It’s about drama, but what it says is true even more for comedy, which travels worse, struggles for international co-funding, and used to boost its budgets using physical media sales. Why things are in a mess, anyway. open.substack.com/pub/jonsen/p...

I wish people would stop telling me to "just self publish" 🥲 I do! here's what the last comic I self published netted me: months of work for 120 reads and a tiny bit more than one month's rent. I'm grateful of course to everyone who did read it!! but it's not an answer. it's just a way to spend time

Got excited yesterday because it looked like my comics were coming today, but nope. Turned out to be my business cards.
