It makes sense. If an artist makes a piece they wanna see, they put more emotion making it. Thats reflected in the work. It is what art gives heart.

The biggest thing i've learned as an artist who sells prints and merch is don't make what people ask for. They won't buy it. Make what you, the artist, want to see printed on the support of ur choice. I can't explain why but THAT'S what will sell. People who buy the most are the silent ones. 🫶

Anyway I hadn't heard anyone talking about this, so I guess I'm gonna talk about it. Spread the word if you're thinking about doing an nsfw KS project, Stripe apparently might pull your funding at literally any step of the process, with zero warning!

Warning to all UK and worldwide comics folk. Never have anything to do with Frazer Brown. If you don't know why, google Tales From The Quarantine.

The truly maddening thing is that, unlike when I was a young man in science and the materials and engineering just weren’t there yet, the future is *right there.* The problem is *solved*. What’s holding us back is not just greed, but this bizarre nostalgia, an obsession with petro- masculinity.

It's finally time to announce my new comic debuting at @thoughtbubbleuk.bsky.social ✨ 🪞 𝐓𝐡𝐨𝐮𝐠𝐡 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐋𝐨𝐨𝐤𝐢𝐧𝐠-𝐆𝐥𝐚𝐬𝐬 A loose sci-fi retelling of Through the Looking-Glass, and What Alice Found There, mixed with Matrix, Inception & a lot of Rage Against the (AI) Machine💥 www.kitsuneart.net/shop/ttlg

Someday, I'd like an MP to stand up in parliament and ask why the *opinions* of a small subset of cisgender people matter more to this government than the safety, health, and dignity of every transgender person in the country.

Once you start thinking of AI as a war on humanity, on human thought, on human inquiry, on human labor, on nuance and critical thinking, it slots in pretty seamlessly with the right wing ideological project, oligarchical political projects, big tech's political projects, etc

Ivo and Satinder pinups! Plus a more risqué Easton in the reply for those of you who like greasy men in lingerie...

If you aren't seeing skeets from some of your fave people, they might have been labeled "Rude" by bsky mods. Idk what they are thinking, I don't need a mommy to tell me who to be buddies with. Anyway, go into Settings > moderation > bluesky moderation (advanced) and turn Rude off.

I'm looking for a literary agent for the US comic industry. I've been published in Italy and France during the last 10 years, I'm currently working as a co-creator for DC's Shazam and I'd love to make my own graphic novel next! I do fantasy, adventurous, wholesome queer comics for teens and adults.

I love her 🖤✨ Limited edition giclee print 🌿 hand gilded with silver leaf Coming to @thoughtbubbleuk.bsky.social next week 🖤 #art #illustration #prints #comics #handmade

Desperately needing to raise funds for bills and rent this month. 😿 We have custom orders open, as well as plenty of leftover merch available in our ko-fi. This includes handmade fleece hats, hoodies, and onesies. Any bit helps so much. 🦊🐱 Reshares are appreciated. 🙏 ko-fi.com/kitandkatcre...

I don't get how people don't realize that a technology that replaces junior and entry level positions in a field destroys that field. There's no skipping steps. You have to be a junior before you can be a senior, and if you don't have senior people, you don't have a field.

HOW TO FEEL ALIVE

I woke up feeling hopefull for the first time in a year.

Trans rights is a winning platform. Pro immigration is a winning platform. Taxing the rich is a winning platform. Affordable housing is a winning platform. Free childcare is a winning platform. Hating Andrew Cuomo is a winning platform. SOCIALISM IS A WINNING PLATFORM

@cbccpodcast.bsky.social are in for a WILD read. i had a chance to do a variant for HUGE DETECTIVE and if you ever felt like True Detective could have really done with a Kaiju or tow... well BOY HOWDEY does @adamhrose.bsky.social have the series for YOU 🫵 #art #comics

Me & my comics pal @fraserc69.bsky.social were adding our unused TFTQ page to this but the con artist AKA Frazer Brown has put that on hold for now. Instead Fraser (good one) & I are creating a brand, spankin’ 1 pager for A1 DEADLINE so please… BACK IT NOW! www.kickstarter.com/projects/dee...

Re the Cola ad and the quotes from their AI head: I won't QT their slop, but you can simply ignore the genie if the genie is shit, looks terrible, runs on stolen work and destroys the environment. There is no obligation to use AI simply because it exists, this is the argument of a goon.

Poetry Comics Month, Day 5

Big day for people who care about other people

It's so nice to wake up to good news for a change

being 5000km from NYC is not going to stop me from feeling hopeful

There are more of us than there are of them.

Good things should happen more often actually Might be a controversial opinion

Yeeeeah!!! I don't live in NY but I am happy for you all who do and for what this does to inspire revolutionary optimism amongst people in pursuit of building egalitarian societies!

Haunt 🌕 #art #artcarnival

i can’t believe a good thing happened we should do this more often

City of Sickos

to doom is to die. the right feeds on this. live defiantly in their faces. stand on your beliefs. carry your struggle without shame and people will see themselves. stay true to your beliefs and show people a better world

Do you have a little money to spare? Want some good, original comics to read, and also to help get some money to the Palestine Red Crescent Society? You can always check out Samidoon: Comics for a Free Palestine!

reposting this one CAUSE ONCE AGAIN VERY RELEVANT

We're all going to write pieces about what you can learn from tonight but it's actually pretty simple: The frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Very last day for #ThoughtBubble Month review submissions (and you're reeeeealllly pushing it now but if it's super-good it still might be in with a shout) is Friday November 7th.

Everyone is hope scrolling now

caring is punk! Empathy will win!!!

What I really want everyone, not just folks in New York, but EVERYONE to come away with from this, is that ANY of these motherfuckers can be challenged. Their stance in the status quo is THAT flimsy, and their grip is fucking FRAGILE. We CAN change this shit, dude

honestly i would read an essay about the incredible graphic design of the zohran campaign vs the ai generated slop cuomo has been putting out and how that impacted their campaigns. i feel like the importance of good branding can’t be ignored here!!! (also he’s married to an artist!!)

Good things are possible and we don't have to settle 😭

Quick reminder: NYC’s new First Lady, Rama Duwaji, is a cartoonist! www.comicsbeat.com/zohran-mamda...

I decided to re-work the Music Battle System for "Escape from 8-Bit High". I want to make the battles more fun to play. So I give it a go to transform it into a sort of Arcade / Rhythm game #indiedev
