There are a lot of good graphic novels and comics to follow up on in this thread! And if you have recommendations, pop those into the original thread!

Aleksi Gray @ The Bard and the Messenger @alakotila.bsky.social · 10d

Hey, I'm looking for comics and graphic novels *by* Indigenous writers and/or illustrators, especially in the Americas. Doesn't have to be a recent book. Any genre! Any topic, any themes, does not have to be a memoir or history, though that is welcome too!

screenshot from the linked/quoted article. text reads: Sherald's advice to young artists: "A lot of times when you don't know what you're going to make, it's not because you have some kind of block, it's just because you haven't lived out in the world long enough, and so, part of making good art is having experiences, so maybe get out of the studio and don't put the pressure on yourself to make something... If you're out and you're living in the world with your antennas up and you're looking at movies and you're reading and you're having conversations, that's part of art-making as well. It doesn't happen in a vacuum." Image credit: Amy Sherald. A God Blessed Land (Empire of Dirt). 2022. Tymure

Ida, Dawn, Ren, and Aiden gather around a bonfire. They stare at Harper and Minnie who lay unconscious on the sand.

REN:That was the easy part.

We beat them- brought them down to a level where they can see reason.

Now it's your turn. Time to use your superpower, Dawn.

Get this fancy fantasy guys coloring book if you love coloring clothes! Also satyrs. There are a lot of those.

www.barnesandnoble.com/w/fabulous-a...

Photo of a coloring book cover. It depicts a satyr with layered clothes in various patterns, mostly of greens and white. He has a long tail, wears long ribbons, and has flowers in his hair around the base of his horns. The title is "FABULOUS" and the text near the lower right reads "A coloring book by Aleksi Gray."

Photo of an open coloring book page. Markers are on the right of the book. In the image, a satyr wears layered clothes with different patterns on them, and even more patterns were added in the coloring process. He has long hair and a long tail, and holds a long staff with a curved blade on it. He wears ribbons and bells and has a hat with flowers in it.

Been thinking about art-making and intentionality all day and how that intentionality - that level of decisiveness that's joyously required if you don't have a kitchen of chefs who want up their minds in post - is what I love about art, and, on the flip side, is also why AI generations suck.
