Ohhh I see! Yeah I didn’t bother stocking any of that stuff in my shop because I don’t wanna get banned 🙃
Regarding cons, I was talking more, uh, people taking “you make porn comics” as permission to be utter creeps towards me 😓 that’s the shit I have to “shut down”.

I think comic artists should release multiple variants of the exact same volume like pop stars

first edition
author commentary edition
big titties edition
fat ass edition

Oh god the shit I’ve heard from people while selling erotica always pissed me off. Fair warning, it happens at cons too so brace yourself and ready some stern shut downs.
Anyway. It looks fantastic, love the duality of the cover.

Damn. This is amazing. £325 per week, paid monthly, for 3 years - and the result was a profit for the Irish economy:
www.citizensinformation.ie/en/employmen...

Post from Threads user rodneyowl: "Ireland has declared the Basic Income for Artists scheme permanent. This will be officially announced in tomorrow’s budget. Details to follow. Congratulations to all who fought for it and the present and future artists of all sorts in Ireland. That includes me 👌We’re just comin to the end of a 3 year pilot scheme. It’s been a roaring success. For every €1 paid out to the 2000 participants, the government got €1.46 back. Can’t argue with that. Other countries are already taking note."

I'm back from maternity leave and in desperate need of some work. If you're looking for some fun colourful cover designs I'm your guy! Here are some book covers I loved illustrating
Contact me at [email protected]
See portfolio link below

Shares & some reassuring words would be much appreciated

A digital illustrated book cover of Cruise Life - Raining Cats and Dogs by Reese Eschmann. It shows a Black girl chasing dogs and cats on the deck of a cruise while her big brother tries to catch up while holding a cat in his arms.

A digital illustrated book cover for the title Unfadeable by Maurice Broaddus. It portrays a mixed Black girl walking by with her pit bull pet, a bridge is seen overhead her, with some cranes in the background and some key characters in the book watches her from a distance.

A digital illustrated book cover titled The Season of Styx Malone
It shows a Black boy with a cap and sunglasses on, her smirks to the viewer, and within his glasses you see the reflection of 2 other Black boys, one smiling back at him with enthusiasm while the other smiles more hesitantly.

A digital illustrated book cover of a picture book titled Bessie the Motorcycle Queen.
It shows Bessie Stringfield on her iconic Hogs (Harleys) against a backdrop of the Grand Canyon.

If you make comics in the UK, fill this in.

I'm really hoping for a better future for our industry but we need information about how the heck we're all surviving currently in order to change it.

The data from this survey is VITAL for us as a community - helping us see the wood from the trees and argue for what we need as comic creators.

In other words… go fill it in!

I’ve seen loads of people saying “just register as a Ltd company, pay yourself through PAYE it’s not too complicated” but it shouldn’t have to be complicated at all!!!

It’s insane, sole traders in the creative industries were really going for it for a wee bit there (self sustaining, no middle men, direct to audience) and now it’s all in the shitter

It's pretty wild to me that investigators have uncovered that anti-trans campaigns are largely funded by the fossil fuel industry, and that the presumed motivations are pretty directly to redirect the public conversation away from climate change... and that this isn't bigger news.

Brooke @brooklynmarie.bsky.social · 13d

Fossil fuel billionaires are bankrolling the anti-trans movement

An investigation shared exclusively with Atmos and HEATED finds that 80% of anti-trans organizations receive fossil fuel funding.
