imagine how much great art could have been created if we took a fraction of the money spent on getting computers to make shitty art and gave it to actual artists

Are you having a good summer so far like this pirate? I’m in Ireland and actually visited a shipwreck. It must have been cursed, since I then got Covid.

This is exactly why I try to openly recommend new books/comics and boost fellow authors and artists as often as I can.
The algorithm won’t help us share our own stories. So we must help share each other’s stories instead, and raise that tide for all of us.
We’ve returned to the olden days, when word-of-mouth was the only real way to advertise. As an author, if you enjoy a book, please: tell your friends. Your group chat, your sewing circle, your family WhatsApp, your work Slack, the voice channel of your MMORPG guild, anything.
I’m glad folks are finding my #starterpack (s) useful!
Are there any other #KidLitArt starter packs you would like to see?
Please let me know and I’ll see if I can put together more!

Watch SCAVENGERS REIGN.
Watch CAROL AND THE END OF THE WORLD.
Watch BLUE EYE SAMURAI.
Watch PLUTO.
Netflix needs to understand that *original animated series for YA/adults* have value beyond raunchy comedy. There IS an audience for it. They’ll keep canceling them unless they see those numbers.
IT'S THAT TIME OF YEAR AGAIN!
If you're a U.S.-based comics creative - aspiring, working, or otherwise - and you do ONE thing to help out your fellow creators this year, let it be filling this survey out!
It's time for the 2024 Comics Worker Survey for US workers! Pay transparency is crucial to uncovering patterns in pay inequity & learning what publishers and clients can ACTUALLY pay us.
Submit your info and encourage your peers to do the same!
