#Comics BlueSky! I'm actually making a list of comics folks (writers, artists, colorists, editors, etc) who have worked on and published MG and YA graphic novels and comics series. Please comment below or DM me if that's you and you'd like to be added to this list! #Kidlit

Hello to all the new (or returning) #kidlit & #kidlitart folks! We're working to try to get the community more active, but also, it helps if everyone tries a bit to interact with one another! BlueSky likes interactions - you have to say something to get something back! Here's some tips to help:

be less afraid to create clumsy comics. awkward tangents. amateur lettering. weird sequentials and pacing. You Can Just Make it. you dont need to be trapped in a cycle of perfectionism and imposter syndrome when you could have a finished work instead. print that thing out and staple it!!!

Maybe I'm old and just can't keep up, but I think one reason social media is unpleasant to me is because with ads, recommendations, replies, and reposts, my feed always feels very foreign to me and the posts by people I actually follow are rare in my own feed (on tw and ig) Old lady yells at cloud

I saw this posted on twitter but I don't think that user is on BlueSky and I wanted to share it here... This interview with Ethan Hawke perfectly describes the importance of art.

"Emergency weapons sale" is an absolutely grotesque phrase, especially in the context of providing weaponry for genocide.

Dont forget yall: retweet the shit you like. It is genuinely criticial that you interact with things on here because there IS no algorithm. I know you have the habit of never touching anything from twitter but you need to abandon it and adopt liking and retweeting en masse

READING LIST Ready for this manga to take pole position in my heart

I also started watching"Formula 1: Drive to Survive" on Netflix after reading Capeta, the F1 racing manga by Masahito Soda (creator of Firefighter Daigo) on KMANGA.https://kmanga.kodansha.com/title/10181/episode/310869 It's been neat to see how the world depicted in the #manga is really like.

Around this time I'd been following @slimyswampghost.bsky.social for a while and appreciated how he encouraged fan art of his creations. I mentioned wanting to do one of Sirenhead and he replied "The Sisters of the Ever-Sharpening Blade" might be cool to see. I obliged.
