Kinda Fucked Up that in our lifetimes we've gone from "never share personal info on the internet" to "hand over your identity to the most incompetent corporations imaginable".

did you enjoy creating it? did you have fun? does it make you happy thinking about it and sharing it? then that's it. you did it. you found the secret sauce. "was that a waste of time?" of course not, fuckface. expressing yourself creatively is always worthwhile. you're doing great

Petition for people to stop talking about comics as “reading lite” or as a stepping stone on the way to reading ”real literature”. One day I wish to live in a world where people appreciated comics for it’s own sake as the unique artform that it is.

Democratizing the arts looks like universal income, low-barrier grants for both emerging and working artists, well-funded municipal arts & recreation programs, vibrant third spaces, and a well-funded public school system with progressive curriculum.

Not a free pass for corporate-owned slop engines.

Every instance of "AI democratizes the arts, you're classist and ableist and a gatekeeper for trying to stop it" is a slap in the face to the literally centuries of poor, disabled people making art on the margins and a crass lie in service of a machine that strips down and regurgitates dreams

Made follow up sketches for this one

A comic, first panel has a knight laying on a flower field, humming a tune, and placing flowers on the other sleeping knight. Second panel: knight covered in flowers wakes up confused, and the other one standing in the background saying: alright, time to continue our journey.

Are you actually lazy or are you just looking at the combined creative output of literally the entire internet and then comparing yourself to that

Just in case anyone out there feels like they shouldn’t post art - please do. The constant bullshit from the news is difficult but we can’t allow all of that to stop us from making art and sharing it. That’s all I have to say rn - am planning to enjoy the rest of my weekend working on sketches.

avoid self loathing ✅
your art is special because YOU made it ✅
literally anything you create is better than AI✅
a three panel comic with a character looking at a laptop. the test says 'this artist has a PERFECT style. it looks so intricate yet effortless. the vibes are IMMACULATE. I will continue to be blessed with inspiration and awe at their work, and continue to develop my art, which is also cool and good.'

Happy new year to all the artists who haven't had time, energy, passion, or any other needed resource to draw enough personal stuff to join end-of-the-year memes in 2025. May we find more of all of the above in 2026, as well as compassion for ourselves if we don't!

Give yourself something to look forward to next year. Something less substantial than a resolution which can carry regret if you can't stick to it. Think of a book you want to read, a genre of music you'd like to learn more about, a curiosity to chase no matter how trivial. Keep your spark lit.

Are you 🫵 a twitter refugee? Are you 🫵 an OC artist? Unsure how to switch over to bsky?

Some quickfire tips from a bsky user who didn't use it much when I first joined, and then started using it properly about a year ago!

Tumblr user nocryptographer: I talked with someone who works in book publishing, and they mentioned they get a lot of AI slop these days. I asked how they know what's human-written, and they said that there's one thing that will reveal AI slop without error, and that's the author not knowing their own creation. A real author can talk about their story for hours. They love to elaborate every character, every twist, every detail. Because those existed in their head long before they ever made it to the paper. They were loved before they were written. AI slop wasn't. It was just vomited into existence. Someone who generates their story with AI will never bond with their story the way real writers do. That's why they may not know what to say when they're asked why did the character do this, or even remember the scene in the first place. It's something they read, not something they wrote. And to a writer, those are not the same. There's a unique bond between the creator and the creation. If your writing doesn't come of you, you'll always lack that. I keep hearing soon we won't be able to tell. And perhaps, in a superficial sense, that's true. But there is a difference. It's not em dashes or repeated words. It's whether the story was made by someone who loves it and cares about it. If the writer's eyes light up when asked why did the character do that? and they start their very own Ted Talk about that specific scene... then it's real.

this feels like a universal thing i experience all the time lol
A silly drawing of two faceless people. They have their hands in front of their mouths and have hearts near their heads. Their faces look anguished. The entire drawing is captioned "The Artist Experience (to me anyway)" The person on the left is labeled "People who piant everything" and they say "I wish I could do clean lines like you." The person on the right is labeled "People who have beautiful inks and cel shading" and they say "I wish I could paint like you."

That moment when you want to revisit an OC idea from college but you can't find what their original design looked like so you have to restart....

One of the central tenets of AI artists is that their refining prompts makes them equal (or even superior) to any artist, analog or digital.

They are so, so close to a breakthrough but they always U-turn just in time to avoid it.

“i have to use AI because i’m bad at drawingggg 😭😭😭”
Three panel comic: 1st panel: Two crudely drawn stick men: Stick man 1: to make art that is popular you have to be really good at drawing 2nd panel: stick man 2: but if that’s true 3rd panel: both characters are looking at a spot beneath the comic (where the likes are) Stick man 2: why does this comic have thousands of likes?
