The Irish are kicking ass again! A gov investing in human made art in current times AND proving that it's profitable is the kind of news we need more of.

Mike Sowden @mikeachim.bsky.social · 4d

Damn. This is amazing. £325 per week, paid monthly, for 3 years - and the result was a profit for the Irish economy:

Post from Threads user rodneyowl: "Ireland has declared the Basic Income for Artists scheme permanent. This will be officially announced in tomorrow’s budget. Details to follow. Congratulations to all who fought for it and the present and future artists of all sorts in Ireland. That includes me 👌We’re just comin to the end of a 3 year pilot scheme. It’s been a roaring success. For every €1 paid out to the 2000 participants, the government got €1.46 back. Can’t argue with that. Other countries are already taking note."

Old school benday dot coloring looks better than modern over-rendered coloring, and every single "remaster" recoloring of an older comic bears this out.

Comics/graphic novels aren’t recognized or taken seriously as literature in the publishing industry, despite taking twice as much work to create as prose novels, and it just breaks my heart.

That’s it, that’s the take.

Please read more comics.

⚠️ Chinese researchers have invented bone glue that mimics how oysters stick to surfaces underwater.

The adhesive can reportedly repair orthopedic fractures in 2-3 minutes, even in blood-rich environments, and is bioabsorbable.

Man, I'm sorry, but reading all these AI generated essays from students, it just sucks all the joy out of everything. It's exhausting, makes you into a weird paranoid cop, grinds you down, wastes your time, makes you feel like shit about everything.

Fuck this shit technology and all its enablers.

#germanga #review: Blood Flesh Bone by @naki.bsky.social
A really good atmospheric story where you try to figure out what happened and why along with the protagonist. The panels have a very clear focus and good expression. The characters are interesting and not […]

[Original post on mastodon.art]

Cover of the comic Blood Flesh Bone by Naki. The title is shown in large letters but the character on the cover is standing in front of the lower half of the letters. He is shown from behind, a young androgynous man with hair in a ponytail who wears a shirt, pants which are held by suspenders, a gun and a lasso. He looks somewhere with an insecure expression. Behind him there are clouds. The whole cover is in different hues of red and orange.

Working with color for the first time in forever and it got nothing to do with the comic. Enjoy! ✨✨✨
#ocs #art #comicartist #digitalart #mangaka #

Blonde muscular tomboy sitting on a bright yellow bench, behind her some fluffy clouds and a blue sky. Shes wearing a black tank top, bluejeans and some rough jewlery, one of them a tooth on a black cord. She's chilling, legs crossed, right arm stretched over the back of the bench, left hand flicking a silver butterfly knife. A thin wooden stick is clenched between her teeth, maybe from a lollipop. She's sitting in the sun. Life is good.

Foto des Comic Magical Girl Indigo von Lisa Rau. Auf dem Cover ist ein dunkelhäutiges junges Mädchen mit schwarz blauen Zöpfen in einem indisch angehauchten Outfit das als Hauptfarbe dunkelblau hat, mit einer hellblauen Schärpe und goldenem Schmuck. Sie hält eine Flasche in der Hand aus der blauer Rauch kommt und um sie herum wehen Blütenblätter.

Eurovision Drinking Game @eurovisiondrinking.com · 25d

Eurovision? You mean the musical contest set up in the aftermath of the Second World War explicitly to foster peace between European nations by cooperating on a shared broadcast? That Eurovision?

It’s totally about politics. Peace is a political stance. As is war. As is doing a genocide.

Eurovision has never been about politics, says BBC boss Tim Davie

The director general says the corporation is "aware of the concerns" around Israel's participation.
