"That's the point – the smudge, the rough line, the hesitation - that's what makes my work come alive." - Jim Lee talking about why DC will never use AI storytelling. "AI doesn't dream, feel or make art, it aggregates it."

@jimlee.bsky.social speaking very passionately at Retailer Day. #nycc

This is such a good use of Cassie's costume design for sinister effect.

Once more, with feeling:
1. AI is a scam
2. The bubble will burst and soon
3. When it does it will tank the global economy

Newsletter: This is The Case Against Generative AI, a comprehensive analysis of a financial collapse built on myths I’ll dispel, the markets’ unhealthy obsession with NVIDIA's growth, and the fact that there is not enough money in the world to fund OpenAI.

Look, Stan Lee was a complex guy. I have no doubt that were he still with us he might well have had a play with this technology. But he isn't still with us and this just feels ghoulish.

First look at the AI Stan Lee Hologram at LA Comic Con 🚮

100% agree. If there is a more profoundly moving, entertaining, fun comic on the shelves I have not seen it. I'm enjoying FML more than I have enjoyed any comic in years - and I own a comic store, I read a LOT of comics.

If you aren't reading this masterpiece do yourself a favour. Catch up.

I have yet to make it through an issue of FML without crying. Best written book on the shelves (terrific art too). Thank you @kellysue.bsky.social for this treasure of a book.

“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?

Dear My Phone, My Computer, My Apps, My Electronic Devices, and so forth:

Please stop asking me if I want to enable AI. Or use your janky AI tool. Or load my documents or pictures with a bunch of useless, off-putting, earth-killing AI junk. I don't want it. I SAID I don't want it. Stop offering.

DO NOT participate in #blueskyblackout2025

I'm nsfw artist and other nsfw artists are asking you to SHOUT! Bsky wants to censor us so the worst thing we can do is censor ourselves!

Publicly shame them, use the feedback button, and post about it using the tag #bskycensorship

Silence is compliance!

I work with teenagers a lot and can only concur.
keezyyoung.bsky.social
tbh if you know a teenager (any teenager, no matter who they are or how well you think they're doing) please go and tell them that you think they're great and you like them. you don't need to elaborate. just say it. they'll be awkward and uncomfortable about it. but they'll remember it forever

When you go to your LCS, you should do yourself a favor and put in an order for the Image Comics version of the Eisner-Award Award-winning All-Negro Comics: America's First Black Comic Book. @chrisrobinson.info did an amazing job preserving this essential piece of comic book history. FOC 9/15

Visa and Mastercard reportedly coming for FAIRIES and CAT EARS

Get on the phone and ask them wtf is up because this even made me double take

Woke up to quite the update on this. I had been in contact with Payment Cloud about getting their service and they waited until now to hit me with the image below. Again, stringing me along instead of being upfront. They had seen my website multiple times before this.
An image taken from an e-mail from Payment Cloud to me. They list prohibited adult work, one of which just includes "Fantasy" which is as wide as cat ears and fairies. We are so cooked.

This really does matter. Sign this not because you want to buy inappropriate smutty things from the internet, but because if you let people tell you what legally available things you can or cannot buy you are at the mercy of somebody else's definition of "inappropriate".

Tonight's Full Moon is the Corn Moon and it will rise eclipsed. The darkness and red moonlight will make Saturn more visible than usual. #SomethingBeautiful
rspb.bsky.social
Don't miss tonight's celestial show...🌕🪐

The Corn Moon, our last full moon of summer, will rise in total lunar eclipse...glowing deep red as a Blood Moon.

Catch it climbing the horizon from 19:30, with Saturn shining close by, shining brighter than usual.
A glowing full moon hangs low in the dark night sky, its surface tinted a rusty red as Earth’s shadow casts a total lunar eclipse. The moon’s edges glow softly against the blackness, creating the striking effect known as a Blood Moon.

Shouting “will no one rid me of these troublesome fascists?” at the top of my lungs and hoping a couple of knights overhear me.

I think, in light of all the rotten people out there spreading terf nonsense, today would be a good day to support trans creators.

Trans folk, please add your links to this thread for books or crafts or whatever you do!

🌟 IT LIVES! 🌟 The UK Comics Creator Survey is BACK, baby!

Here to gather up, analyse and disseminate your data to help uplift the comics world, like if Robin Hood was a statistician or something.

A promotional image for the survey, reading “we’ve got questions; we need answers. Who’s in?” Above a series of illustrated raised hands in various styles. At the bottom is the url ukcomicscreators.org.uk
