Friendly reminder that Joann Fabrics isn’t closing because it’s a bad business. It’s closing bc it was bought by a private equity firm. This is also what is happening to Hooters and what happened to US Toys R Us and Red Lobster. These companies are being dismantled intentionally.

"keez, you're a YA author, are you even allowed to publicly say the WORD porn, let alone defend it, LET ALONE say you enjoy it?" idk man but i'm tired of my compatriots saying "please don't include US in the purge, we're not ACTUALLY gross like those other people" because uh...that sucks

One thing I’m worried about is that, like, You can make a series that’s technically not what it’s about, make it about the relationships between characters, and have it turn out good (like the widescreen era of Venture Bros.) or have it turn out bad (different show I can’t name out of respect)

omg the school application rules says no fan art in giant red letters How many anime boys do you think it took

Might miss the October deadline for Big Proper Comic Release bc I’m trying to get prepared to apply to a new school, but if that happens I’ll still be dropping shorts

fun fact: if you draw fanart for a game within the first week of any sort of major PR event for it (announcement, demo, release etc) there is a 99% chance the entire dev team on the game knows who you are because they are doing nothing but reposting fanart in slack

Thought @vgen.co looked promising for use for commissions, since ko-fi just auto-approves things without even letting me look except for the part where it's literally impossible for me to make an artist account because I'm the only person I know that's even using it

A thing i keep learning from comics history is how many people (usually artists who are also writers and inkers) die pretty young "unfortunaly died at a relatively young age from ____." (Usually something to do with their heart or an untreated medical condition.)

do i know any wheelchair users who would be up for answering a few q's about wheelchair user rep in comics? ideally this general kind of chair, tho if you use a different type and feel comfortable answering about this one, that works too! (bonus if you're also a cartoonist, but either way haha)

making one of my characters’ hair pink because it’s easier to draw is pretty much exactly the kind of thing I would expect from me

Zoot Suit Samus

Someone at an anime convention figured it out before I did because of what I was wearing and I might never recover from that

It's a bit ahead of October, but fuck it Every year since I came out, I get a Halloween portrait done by my friend, and EXCELLENT artist, Kane ( @veldrin.bsky.social ). This year I said "Chimera Zoe" and he not only delivered a BEAUTIFUL piece he also dunked on me BRUTALLY as only a friend could.

Finished private commissions for the day. EXHAUSTED but no longer behind on work. Might open for public ones next time

I once had someone on the old site tell me they „had to“ use genAI because their blorbo was so unpopular there was absolutely zero content for them and what are they supposed to do, make it all by themselves?! And I just said yes. I said that’s what you do if you truly love them.

Lil break ink

Spent a while today organizing and labeling the 3D reference library I keep in sketchup format. Not sure what kind of car this is, but it’s definitely NOT a Kia Sorento…?

No one who hasn't shared or donated to this gofundme is allowed to talk about Disco Elysium ever again. I know! I'm poor too. I don't always eat either. A single dollar. One currency.

so literally how are other folks dealing with having to use social media for work but also having an upper limit on how much news you can bear to absorb about people like you being targeted, criminalized & erased by the government and also tortured & murdered by civilians
