I'm doing my part to keep comics alive. Stories change people's minds, stories change people's lives. ✌️

I was planning to wipe my drive for a while but never got around to it. I guess I waited too long and now the leopards are eating my face 😔

I've come to the conclusion that Google has trained its AI on all the dog slop I had on my drive in a dystopian effort to make my life easier(?) But I can not express how invasive that felt. Google drive ain't safe, babes.

That's incredible! You were just talking a few months ago about getting a dog. It was fate <3

I have not accessed anything on my drive from my phone, nor have I even opened that document since I wrote it years ago.... what the actual fuck.

I was typing the prev post, and one of the autocorrect suggestions was the name of an OC I used to write about. And when I tapped through the word suggestions to see wtf would pop up, it literally started generating a near-exact sentence from a piece I wrote and kept on my Google drive

Thank you! It was originally going to be just black and white but then my partner convinced the commissioner to ask for color.

Congrats! I am slowly getting my bearing on bsky, as well! I'm Merdet, and I am a comic artist and art educator! I am currently working on a big graphic novel that I can't announce yet 🤫 but I'll share some personal/commission work!

Does middlegrade horror count? I am secretly working on my own adult horror GN, but people only hire me to draw kids' books 🥲.

Did you use traditional screentone for this, or was it added digital in post? It's super cool!

I am a comic artist and I just started teaching this fall. Thanks for putting this list together, I am still trying to regrow my list of artists and creators to follow :)

So glad Paul got his chance to grandstand in front of everyone by exploiting the legend of a veteran boxer. ALSO, what the hell was he spraying all over himself the whole time? Axe?! Evil wins again.

I made this for my first class announcement and then had stickers printed to hand out to my classes this week. I have already gotten a lot of sweet emails from the students saying they really enjoyed the class and learned a lot from me. I'm gonna cry. 😭

I got the job, and this week, I just wrapped up my first quarter of teaching comic art to university students. I can't describe the night and day shift from my previous job to now. I love it! My students were incredible, and I got to have fun drawing again.

Thank you! The smudges add character, I think.

But it's not disproportionate. His family was doxxed, he was ousted from his community, and he thought his career was over. Jumping to the conclusion that he must have been a monster (why else would he unalive himself?), and not having a mental health crisis is only fanning the hatred.

I have the same facts as everyone else. But I find it really sad that the "only rationale" you have to understand why someone would end their life is that they must be an even worse person than allegations would suggest. That type of speculation is really harmful.
