I have Conan the Barbarian on my drawing wish-list. Now it’s to make something worthy to get it into Savage Sword of Conan book.

Now that FanExpo is wrapped, I can say that while we were unsuccessful in getting the Bell AI booth removed, it created a big convo with both companies. I’m so proud of everyone who spoke up and made it an issue they couldn’t ignore.

Stephanie Cooke @hellocookie.bsky.social · Aug 23

For folks who still want to show their support to real artists and protest Bell’s AI booth, please send your complaints to [email protected] and to FanExpo Corporate. The folks running Artist Alley and the Exhibitor sections were also blindsided by all of this.

The stand in at the Bell Canada booth is happening right now to protest their AI Photo Booth.

It is one of the largest telecommunications operators in Canada. I’m sure they also sponsor the event or building or just shoved a bunch of money at them.

Roberto Duque @radpencils.bsky.social · Aug 22

I read a post from the Artist Alley head/organizer that this booth is no where near Artist Alley. He is a firm supporter of artist at these shows.
However, he doesn’t have any control on what gets approved everywhere else.
Regardless, This AI crap shouldn’t be allowed in a comic convention.

Also looking into getting involved in the Webtoons sphere. Trying to conceptualize a story that fits that medium which also can be made for print has been… interesting?

Roberto Duque @radpencils.bsky.social · Aug 21

I’ve been listening to ROBSERVATIONS with Rob Liefeld and the history lessons and first person experiences from his childhood about certain stories and business experiences is fascinating. The most I take from his show is fueling the drive for me to keep pushing to make more of my own comics.

Just before midnight last night I crossed 16,000 comics in my collection. I’m hoping I can cross 20,000 with what I have left.

I want “Batman: The Brave and the Bold” movies to have #Batman team up with a different member of the Bat Family. Kind of like what MCU has done with solo Spider-Man flicks. Gives his sidekicks a spotlight and won’t feel like retreads of previous iterations
