“They want to build a genie to grant them wishes, and their wish is that nobody ever has to make art again. They want to create a new kind of mind, so they can force it into mindless servitude.” This by @anthonymoser.com goes so fuckin hard anthonymoser.github.io/writing/ai/h...

Super excited to have a comic in this month’s @chemistryworld.com magazine, alongside a great article by Rupo Mapanga. Both are about the power of science comics, with mine offering a guide for scientists looking to translate their research into the comics form www.chemistryworld.com/careers/comi...

Check out my new mini-comic! Available in print and digital on my website.

Out of curiosity, do most US authors / comic creators submit their work to the US copyright office as a matter of course? Or are a lot of people going to be shit out of luck like me?

This is worth reading if you’re wondering where you stand as an author whose work was ripped off by Anyhropic. Looks like, as I was worrying, that I’ll probably not get a payout since my work wasn’t registered with the US copyright office.

Labour to designate “going all floppy” a terrorist act.

I think, in light of all the rotten people out there spreading terf nonsense, today would be a good day to support trans creators. Trans folk, please add your links to this thread for books or crafts or whatever you do!

Homework is basically just teaching kids to have a shitty work-life balance and to work for free outside their contracted hours.

Reading Graphic Novel Builder, which I picked up from @edwardross.bsky.social at Sequential Scotland. It's aimed at 11+ years and I'm definitely in the distant far end of that "plus" bracket there, but I'm just going to assume I'll get over four times as much knowledge from it as a result.

Just make it exist first, you can make it good later.

In Edinburgh this weekend? Quindrie Press is holding a mini comic pop-up event at POP Coffee, just off Lothian Road, on Sunday August 10th! There'll be a whole host of Quindrie artists and you'll even be able to get a discount on POP's speciality coffees. See you there! 🫖🐉
