Reposting this guide from twitter because I COOKED here. (and still refer to this at work even now!)

Share this far and wide! Being the one to write up the contract gives you control. Smaller clients don't often know what copyright to ask for & artists end up doing work for hire jobs just because that's the template the client happened to download. Having a good contract is good for everyone!

RIP Robert McGinnis, painter of beautiful and dangerous people.

Rest in Peace to Incredible Illustrator Brad Holland

ICE is out of control

Every time you avoid drawing something because it's "cringe", you push yourself further away from the people who get you. The people who are just like you. You can't find your people until you unapologetically create.

Friends, I know you're excited to try protesting, but under no circumstances should you ever sign up to attend one. I'm suspicious of any org asking people to put their name on a list that is easily accessible via warrant or may even be public. You can just show up day of.

The travelers proceeded through the deep forest. Deep in the forest, there was suddenly an open space, lined with buildings that may have been inhabited in the past. However, there was no one around, and the forest had eroded the buildings. #Illustration #CommentPls #RTpls

The way you talk about your art is the way you talk about yourself. Be careful with your words. You deserve better than "I suck at this."

Yep. Me, too.

If you're an artist and don't have an account at Pixsy, sign up for a free one. You can monitor up to 500 images/artworks for free across the web with this tool. It's both depressing and helpful for discovering unauthorized use of your works (and getting paid for it)

This is how you do it...

since a car crash that hindered my ability to sit in a good drawing/painting position, I'd been focusing on getting able to work again since. I'm now ready I think, but I'll be testing this by doing requests. Here's a link to a request form! Here's a form for that! forms.gle/waXAPgu2jMzZ...

Religious persecution is when you are prevented from exercising your beliefs, NOT when you are prevented from imposing your beliefs. I assume it’s hard to separate church & state when you can’t separate fact from fiction. #VoicesForVictory #ProudBlue #DemsUnited

Saw this on Pinterest, and have (and am) experiencing most of this stuff right now. Apologies as I have been slow to post any content.
