A deeply deeply underrated part of the comic creators working process is finding the time to be bored.

feels like a gut punch tbh. A queer elder who should absolutely know better and probably thinks she’s being edgy when she’s just being stupid.
I read an interview today where Alison Bechdel talked about using chatGPT for a panel of her recent comic -- she prompted it and copied the results -- and I still don't know what to do with that. It genuinely feels in moments like this like so many of our art elders are failing us.
Catching up with what James Gurney, the Dinotopia artist, is up to these days. Pathetic.

Solidarity with the people of Minnesota bravely standing up for their vulnerable neighbors against some of the stupidest fascism the world has ever seen.

Scanning glossy/textured surfaces: scan twice, the 2nd time rotating your paper 180º. Put the two scans as layers in PS, then Edit>Auto-Align Layers. Set top layer to Lighten for texture, Darken for glare, or Normal at 50% opacity.

Books don't tell readers who they personally are or who they are supposed to be. They do show readers a variety of characters. Implicit in that is this: "Here are some ways of being." Kids books aren't altering your kid to be someone new. They are simply showing them parts of humanity.

Mouse has been buying more wool from the Mouse Emporium, and now they are in their way home to cosy up and knit and drink tea for the rest of the day.

I think it's a bad sign that every major news media outlet has spent days asking whether or not murder is bad and how much child porn is an okay amount

i think the reason transphobia is the gateway drug to many other evils is because it's still a halfway socially acceptable outlet for treating people with open contempt, and once you develop a muscle memory for that, you just start flexing it for its own sake

Any illustrators on here have a business card? Can I see it? I thought it might be nice to carry a sample of my work to hand to people I meet IRL but I am spending WAY too much time stressing about what it should look like.
