I really needed to see this today. In fact, I might print this out in reverse, make a sign out of it and tape it to my forehead so I can read it every time I look in the mirror.

No, we cannot let Dolly Parton die, not now. Give her all the support she needs. If Nobel peace prizes are being handed out she needs to be on that list now, not later.

I hate waking up wondering why I’m even still alive. It’s like… why do I exist?

Mostly I do, but hate my art so much it’s just discouraging when I cannot draw what I see in my mind.

Jimmie Robinson @jimmierobinson.bsky.social · 2d

What you mean like… draw for the sake of drawing? Lol

Jimmie Robinson @jimmierobinson.bsky.social · 2d

Like… years. Lol. It’s like I only draw if I have a book.

Jimmie Robinson @jimmierobinson.bsky.social · 3d

Once again, how can I draw better, make better comics, make something unique… it haunts me.

I’m revisiting an old script I had put on hold — and immediately found huge plot holes all over it. WHAT THE HELL WAS I THINKING?

Yes, that is BOMB QUEEN. Yes, she is in ARTillery… but you’ll never guess how.

Clipstudio on first gen iPad with Apple Pencil.

Jimmie Robinson @jimmierobinson.bsky.social · 8d

Excellent! Make the system work for you, don’t get worked by the system.

Jimmie Robinson @jimmierobinson.bsky.social · 8d

I hear you, friend. I’m on an old Mac OSX desktop and running an old version. If I update I’ll also lose CS6. I know my time is limited. It’s scary, but progress marches on. Just gonna hold on as long as possible.

I bought my disk of CS6 on sale for $300. It has paid for itself multiple times.

It’s good to see so many fellow creatives are getting by on the cheap side.

Jimmie Robinson @jimmierobinson.bsky.social · 9d

And yes, my desktop is also old… 2011.

Jimmie Robinson @jimmierobinson.bsky.social · 9d

Because my desktop is so old I also have to use an older browser version, which makes a mess when I try to send files or go to certain websites. My iPad is newer, so I have that as a go-around, but it’s a first gen iPad… so even that is lagging. I can’t even use the latest version of Clipstudio

I have yet to pay one thin dime to Creative Cloud. But I’m sure I will in the future as my desktop gets older and older and out of date.

I’m still using Photoshop CS6 (2012) on my desktop. The last physical media you can own of PS. I just used it to make a cover for my comic ARTillery, to be published by invader comics @invadercomics.bsky.social. #comics #art #photoshop

Yes, a back catalogue is key. I still get royalty checks for work I did well over a decade ago. Of course those are diminishing returns, so it redefines what *success* is for me, because life constantly changes.

Yeah, I see. That’s good.
