I really want commercial artists to all be paid enough to do weird little side projects and make a bunch of pointless OCs or whatever without feeling like they have to always be hustling

since there’s increased interest in zaytri’s incredible slime2 chat alternative rn!

if you have bought art/commissions/goodies from or reposted stuff from artists in the last few months you are all our hero for real thank you for real 😭 it matters so much

The difference between closed captions and open captions: Closed captions are on a separate track that can be turned on or off. Open captions are captions that are burned into the video, so that they are always showing. The viewer cannot turn them off. www.w3.org/WAI/media/av...

Just a reminder that Blambot's Indie License allows small press comic creators to use Blambot's indie fonts (those marked with a $0 option) for free even if you make money with your comic or merch directly related to your comic. More info: blambot.com/pages/licenses

We had a lovely convo with Michael Welch & Chicago Review of Books about why it's fricken time for publishing to unionize! ✊📚 You can still sign our open letter of support @ hachetteworkers.com/open-letter

All my digital comics are up for sale at 8.50$ during the Nib &Ink Fest this may, please go check it out ! Link: nif-shop.cartoonist.coop

We are the LARGEST union in trade publishing history, and we want better for our workers in order to make a sea change for creatives everywhere. Let's take a stand together against the existential threats to the arts, whether stagnating wages, the AI slop machine, and destructive layoffs.

man, this is depressing, but it makes me so much more grateful that archival projects exist

Painting OCs is all fun and games until you have your redraw their face 4 times bc u can’t capture the likeness of the character YOU CREATED 🫠 anyways we figured it out 😤😤 #oc #painting

Whoever first described GenAI as digital asbestos was cooking

shamelessly repurposed that xenomorph drawing #art

“AI can never be AI without humans. It is not artificial intelligence. It’s African intelligence...We are training our own death. We train ChatGPT and it’s killing us slowly.” Kenyan workers are still the underpaid labor behind AI training, moderation, and sex chatbots. Now, they're fighting back.

The thing that has been weighing on me so much with the violence in MN is how many times I've heard "if they minded their own business they'd be alive", which is such a weird isolationist mindset that I've seen grow over the last few years and now blossom in front of us

Join @mielzy.bsky.social ‘s FREE online discord presentation on taking art commissions, which will take place on Jan 16 at 8PM EST! Will be less focused on marketing, but more on setting up workflow, tips on professionalism, and avoiding scams~

"Draw every day" is straight up bad advice Draw regularly, yes, but the hand is a muscle and like with any skill, rest days are critical. You need to rest and recharge, read/watch/play etc in order to keep those creative juices going If you try to force it then it's just gonna lead to burnout

It’s finally here 🥹💗 My very first online art course is officially LIVE!! Bring Any Character to Life through Semi-Realistic Portraits is everything I wish I had when I was learning to draw characters. It’s all about structure, color, light, and making your characters feel alive. Link in bio!!

Backed by the Heritage Foundation and Big Tech, KOSA will force everyone to upload their ID to access the internet. In an age when Palantir has direct ties to ICE, where technofascists are in power and want to eliminate and censor everything, we CANNOT allow KOSA to pass. It NEEDS mass pushback.
