eisner awards need to get it the fuck together or else change their name to a worse cartoonist like idk the scott adams awards

why haven't the eisner awards changed "graphic album" back to "graphic novel," a term literally coined by *checks notes* will eisner. does anyone remember that it was only changed to satisfy some weird racist who wound up getting pulled from the nomination list anyway.

mmm the backlash has already started the mark of a good essay

Well well well looks like those art degrees aren't so useless after all

i've been getting more folks telling me about this and it's not anything i agreed to. it's been stolen like AI steals. please vandalize it if and when you see it.

I’m reaching out for help, but the intricacies of why are too long to fit into a tweet or an eye catching, shareable graphic. It’s been a rough couple of months for me at work and the fallout from the burnout has put me in an even worse spot. If you can, please read & share.

I made this free tool for my creative friends (and me)! BookMaker keeps track of your progress on your comic book or illustration project: www.jensk.net/bookmaker/

i’d love to go back to the golden age of social media but then, i’d like to go back to the golden age of anything

patreon update, graphic novel keeps moving along, this time it's proof of concept pages, sorting how this thing will look when it's finished www.patreon.com/posts/156209...

Set Up For Success: Creator Of Color Given Chance To Prove Self With Obscure Comic Character Nobody Cares About The new series will debut the same day as a relaunch of the publisher's most popular character as written by a white guy you've never heard of, per source.

“Why aren’t college students protesting” stories are almost always wrong (they are protesting), omit crucial context (they were brutally punished for protesting before), and somehow suggest that 19 yr olds have more moral responsibility than elected officials three times their age

Nice try, Plastic Man... #dcu #dccomics

best way to commit antisemitism is to first make the term totally meaningless, so no one takes it seriously when you call it what it is

comics needs a union

it's been weeks since i've drawn anything so i'm getting back into the swing of things* by going back to a little plastic man fan comic i started a while back *checking to make sure i can still draw

Every time I see Hannah‘s absurdly good acting/pacing/composition chops in comics I start vibrating at an imperceptible frequency. You can give her money to do MORE OF THAT: www.patreon.com/hannahvardit/

Thinking about this quote from Persepolis creator Marjane Satrapi again.

This style of light doesn't really appear in animation anymore. You know it when you see it -- it's bright, hot and almost dangerous. Our new issue explores the tricks behind it, and how one artist has revived the look for the digital age: animationobsessive.substack.com/p/dangerous-...

What women on the left already knew before the files came out is that men can imagine a world of class consciousness (Chomsky), a universe more expansive than ever before known (Hawking), a world where you can live forever (Attia) but not a world where women are fully human.

Getting stuck while we're writing is a feature, not a bug. It's the point of the exercise. It's what happens when we are trying to express something we have not expressed before. That friction forces us to make the tools we need to understand and express it. Getting stuck is how we make meaning.

Dem leadership for generations: no you fool, you infant. It is a process. It takes time and political capital and expertise, it's- Mamdani, dusting off his hands: fixed it Dem leadership: what do you mean you fixed it Mamdani: Just had to unplug it.

Every day Mamdani comes out and is like "hey guys, I turned off the orphan-crushing machine. Literally just had to flip a switch. Took less than 5 minutes." After decades of dem leadership pissing and moaning and fundraising about how complex an issue it is and how difficult the process is etc

Satoshi Kon talks about how Requiem for a Dream took from his film Perfect Blue (1997)

we didn't finish denazification. we didn't finish desegregation. we didn't finish reconstruction. every opportunity for transformative change was deliberately sabotaged by american leaders who knew their wealth would not survive a world freed from eugenics, white supremacy, and war profiteering.

making pinup drawings is all good and well, but it won’t make you any better at comics. only making comics will make you better at making comics.

You don’t know your role yet maybe, but we are all finding out just what we have to offer. In Minneapolis, one man knew immediately what he could offer and said “Bring me your clothing”.

on accident this one-page fan comic became a three-page fan comic this is just how my life is i guess

I have been actively involved in protest movements for 24 years. I have never seen anything approaching this scale. Minneapolis is not accepting what's happening here. ICE fucking murdered a woman for participating in this, and all that did is bring out more people, from more walks of life.

started reading discworld and it was like terry pratchett reached out from the pages to grab my neck and throttle me until i made fan art

Good morning~🙃今日は動画の仕事をします！ #今日の過去絵

Just a little wizard. He has no name as of yet, and I don't know what I'm going to do with him, but I love him very much.

Buff Batman is very silly to me. The little Robin drawing turned out cuter than I thought it would, so I went ahead and made an extra page of him.

No one here is having a good time.

Challenged myself to get better at digital coloring and feel happy with the results, hooray for me.

I have no idea what I want to do with her just yet but I love her and I'm absolutely going to build a whole comic around her one day.
