I really like seeing color flatters credited on comic book credits pages. They deserve it. Make that standard practice.

It particularly drives me mad when they claim AI allows disabled people into the industry...a large % of the arts industry (like me) ARE disabled, and work as freelance creatives in large part because we aren't accommodated in 'regular' work environments. AI is taking away our only available income.

Cartoonists absolutely wish publishers knew this trick! If you paid us a monthly salary and gave us health insurance it would not take us 5 years and countless side projects to make a graphic novel.

'Bout to explain to the hospital the "business of comics" and "why some months I make 10k, and then for 6 months straight make no money at all."

I see we've reached the "famous artist credibly accused of sexual assault wasn't actually a great artist and you're a chump for liking him" phase. Consider that pretending terrible people can't make great art helps terrible people who make great art whedon their way into vulnerable communities.

apropos of uhhhhhhh everything, reposting this again

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).

accidentally, a comic that was supposed to be about Merlin and Arthur turned into a comic about Kay and Merlin (& before anyone says anything: the spelling shift between Cei to Kay mid scene is intentional)

life under authoritarian regimes is like war: most Americans don’t know that it’s often really normal and boring, up until the rarer, horrible moments when it isn’t

Pretty much. What it mostly boils down to is that most Americans really don’t have the faintest idea what living under modern authoritarian regimes actually looks like, and how it’s often at the same time way more boring and way more scary than they’d imagined.

Freelancers, don’t ever let a prospective client try to justify a low page rate by saying, “but there are a lot of pages!” If you take into account your average time spent per page, (which isn’t going to change,) you’re being lowballed. It’s a bullshit argument. Walk away.

So sorry political candidates texting me links, all my money has gone at last to every gofundme and mutual aid for what the government will not pay for.

one of my favorite things about comics is getting excited about the medium itself and figuring out new ways to use the storytelling tools at my disposal. there are just so many fun and weird and unique ways to communicate with comics!!

Crassus & Lucullus; afternoon villa conversations

THE BROTHER EMPERORS, VALENTINIAN AND VALENS (with a lot of heavy inspiration coming from Subleyras’ paintings featuring Valens and Theodosius)

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!!!
