Perpetually busy small biz owner. I’m interested in supporting creative people, growing too many plants, and taking pictures of sunsets.

The problem with fancy food is that I love eating it so much and I love the whole “chef’s tasting menu” thing but my butt 100% hates the whole thing and I always pay for it shortly after. 😭

Really struggling to understand why both the mainstream media and Democratic leadership are finding it so hard right now to express what I think is a fairly basic point. Political violence is bad and a second Trump presidency means more of it. www.garbageday.email/p/yet-anothe...

Anyone know the artist for these stickers? They were at Flamecon last year. I wanna get more!

@mothcub.bsky.social Hi! I was wondering if you take commissions for illustrations?

This entire piece is incredibly well written, but this portion in particular strikes me:

“When the fact of the awful thing happening to you goes unrecorded and unremarked. It is a kind of death and a kind of dream. You are in a play you are powerless to leave.“

The Bear feels like comics but about food. I'm sure every creative industry works this way. Bunch of obsessive maladjusted deeply passionate tender little weirdos flying by the seat of their pants.

As well-meaning publishers try to navigate the coming storm of state laws against diversity, I hope they'll consider Timothy Snyder's Rule #1 (from his slim book ON TYRANNY).

Super useful thread for anyone moving away from Adobe and trying to set up CMYK print files in non-Adobe programs

Okay, so I'm going to post a thread now about using Clip Studio Paint, about color settings, ICC color profiles, outputting to CMYK, getting 100% K in your blacks, etc. Technical shit. If you're struggling with this, read the thread. I'll reply to myself here, and it'll take a little time... 1/many

sometimes I think creators are in the same spot as libraries in our society; asked to perform too many responsibilities that they aren't equipped to cover because other institutions are falling short and people are desperate

Publishers will act as if it’s the biggest hardest favour in the world to piss out 30k to you and then be boggled when you keep having delays when you inevitably get sick and injured working three concurrent jobs to make rent.

Here’s some math courtesy of Nate Powell to keep in mind when signing that graphic novel deal. #comics

True of graphic novels, too. I know you read it in 45 minutes, but it took me four years to write and draw that. T__T

Whispering very gently into the void that if you review a comic online and your main qualm is there isn't enough of it/it's too short, docking stars hurts the creator in question who has to live and die by review scores. If you loved it and want more, rate it highly!

Unbelievably frustrating that we don't have clear guidance on when it's safe to socialize again after having COVID. Millions of people are still getting this and have no choice but to navigate these decisions themselves.
