Five publishing houses and author Scott Turow are suing Meta and CEO Mark Zuckerberg for copyright infringement.

I run a Facebook group called 'Connecting Comic Book Writers and Artists'. He posted this pitch there, too, and got dragged so hard that the other mods and I are pretty sure he deleted it and fled.

Here’s how the AI Boom, such as it is, has impacted my life: it has been used as an excuse to lay off my friends for bot equivalents that never came. It has made mass culture and art immeasurably worse. I have a stalker with AI psychosis. So, no, I don’t more data centers. I want less of all that.

And this is why we‘re building and launching a Foundation to educate and combat against AI usage In the comics space.

Cue sappy post that I will deny in public. But @theartofemilia.bsky.social is pretty great. And she’s going to do amazing things in comics on top of the impact (‘Be Yourself! oh, not like that’ hit me hard with the feelings) she already has

pro this.

Can’t wait to own this on Xbox and replay it a millions times

Art community! I desperately (time sensitive) need a graphic design artist for Logo/branding work for a NON PROFIT in comics. and I’m tired of digging through AI portfolios. Anyone have designer (non AI) recs that would work with a Foundation’s lower budget? Feel free to send questions/recs!

Question for comic writers: Making comics is expensive. How do you fund your pages?

PAID TTRPG editor work. Looking for a copy editor who is familiar with the 5e style guide. Looking to hire someone from the global south, if possible. 60,000 words total. Share and tag editor friends.

A random #comic I love: ‘l FEEL AWFUL, THANKS’ by Lara Pickle. The wave of emotions I felt while reading this really struck home. Beautifully made and so heartfelt.

When people ask, "How can I promote my art when the world is going to shit" I hear that as, "How do I have the right to make art when the world is going to shit" And... We need art more than ever during such times. You need to be making art more than ever during such times.

A digital license means you can play the game as long as it’s on that platform: you don’t actually own the game/product and companies are being more apparent about that and in the end we will own nothing.

Utterly garbage move. If your gaming console doesn’t connect to the internet at least every 30 day, you lose access to your digital games and library. kotaku.com/playstation-...

this is what I’m talking about. We need FULL AI transparency usage and labelling. many of us have no desire to buy AI slop and I’d rather give my money to HUMAN creators at every turn.

A lot of small business and indie artists are unaware of uline’s shittiness. They’re bad! Don’t use them! I am currently using mailersUSA.com for my packing materials, and as far as I know they do not fund fascism.

Some suggestions for notebooks in pocket format that are NOT Moleskine. It's a thread 🧵 ⬇️
