Happy Superman Day 💙❤️💛 To truth, justice, and a better tomorrow. #superman #dccomics

Honestly, if you're older than 25 and doing art, you owe Fatma your voice - she was assassinated with her entire family for just wanting to be 26 and doing art, and all she did wrong was being born as a person that our culture allows to be assassinated in a genocidal apartheid regime.

Did you know there's a Native kids show on Netflix? Did you know its for *everyone*, cause most adults are at a preschool-level of familiarity with Indigenous people here? Did you know that show just got nominated for a Peabody?! 😍 Then go watch "Spirit Rangers" on Netflix NOW! 😊

Also— to my manga and webtoon making friends (or just comics in general) check out @sara.pizza and their fonts! I used the ‘soapy hands’ font for most of my text as well as @blambot.bsky.social anime ace font!

see? THIS is the reason we need that fucking Umbert Actually show to get funded because of stupid people like this who talk completely out of their asses about the media industry. so it can debunk this garbage I'm not screwing around here either lol www.kickstarter.com/projects/jel...

hey it's also ok if you're autistic and you haven't accomplished shit

Hey RFK, this is my art I've been drawing for years, and I've lived with autism my whole life Have you so much as even made a SCRIBBLE? #art #digitalart #drawing #artsky

Outside of the absurd notion that autistic people don't make art or poetry, which Karrie and others are dismantling with the ire it deserves People are not worth what they produce for others. People are worthy because they are PEOPLE.

🕸️💥 Here's today's Skeeter! comic! No matter how much he tries, Skeeter just isn't a good artist, so, of course, any time he tries to "improve" Christina's art, it just leads to trouble 😔 #comics #webcomic #comicsky #digitalart

Been feeling like this after hearing certain comments from a certain politician. #Autism #actuallyautistic

I’m at the Scholastic Book Fair, which was my favorite school event as a kid. And I came across MY OWN WORK. I used to buy every Goosebumps and copy all the covers into my sketchbook. And now I get to draw them for real 🥰. Outstanding novel by @allyoutthere.bsky.social .

I just realized the startling possibility of my followers not having seen the cut psychedelic sequences from A BOY NAMED CHARLIE BROWN, and I cannot let that slide

Hey ya'll. So our friend, colleague, and director Mike McFarland has had to go under the knife again for brain surgery. The road to recovery will be long, so let's try and make it easier for him. Give your Master Roshi, Captain Buggy, and more your love! www.gofundme.com/f/support-mi...

Harvard has set an example for other higher-ed institutions - rejecting an unlawful and ham-handed attempt to stifle academic freedom, while taking steps to make sure students can benefit from an environment of intellectual inquiry, rigorous debate and mutual respect. Let’s hope others follow suit.

Picture book AUTHORS: YOU can help change industry practice by suggesting to your publisher that the book's byline read "Written by (author), illustrated by (illus)" or "By (author) & (illus)". Other ways to help: picturesmeanbusiness.com/writers/ #PicturesMeanBusiness Art @sarahmcintyre.bsky.social

Illustrators!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Please answer this question honestly & share. If you worked full time for a year on making a graphic novel of 200 pages, what fee would you expect to be paid for the job?

I can’t stress how dangerous this rhetoric is. I know we’re in a pretty fragile state right now, but please keep one thing in mind: Create for its own sake. Even if nobody else sees your work, it’s still worth the time you put into it. Continue to love art—don’t let anyone take that from you.

i know a lot of people are scrambling to find US-based manufacturers for merch with the new tariffs but definitelyyyyy don't try this one :') stickerninja is one i've used! others i haven't tried but came across are sticker birbs, sticker bunnies, and spooky stickers

Oh shit #PortfolioDay???? Yo I'm Lelly, I'm a cartoonist who draws stuff that I like and find cool. Follow if you like slop

i miss annotations more than you can imagine

Here is a comic I made a couple of years ago for #autismacceptancemonth about Autism and Trauma. Although the impact is long lasting, it took a very long time to untangle and understand. I've met alot of ppl since posting this who have had a similar experience, and I'm glad we're not alone in that.

From The Shadow Whisperer to Stars And Shadows I can't believe these are only 4 years apart lol. SAS is the start of an all new Mattoon folks! #MattoonArt

We all owe the Aztek an apology

The lie that Vaccines cause Autism is a well documented and debunked Hoax from 1998.

Apparently Adobe popped to Bluesky like a flower in Spring. And then ended like that.

Can somebody [redacted] him before he gets us all killed?!?!
