Horror can be beautiful :)

Insanely funny to die on the hill of "marginalized cartoonists are mediocre and get unfair accolades due to white guilt" in an industry where no one makes more than 40k a year

For ✨ no particular reason ✨ nothing to do w comics discourse ✨ Here are some booklists I compiled of really great comics, made by creators of color: BIPOC 🌟 bookshop.org/lists/graphi... AAPI & SWANA 💫 bookshop.org/lists/graphi...

Still remember the time a 👨🏻 supposed friend drunkenly told me that I was lucky bc I was Black and queer and that is what publishers are looking for, so it will be easy for me. I'd had a comic published. He had 2 graphic novels, and was apparently bitter that he hadn't published more. 🤷🏾

Ms.Rachel is showing more humanity than our politicians

The "cancelled.html" is really the icing on the cake here and where this was inevitably headed. Say something shitty and then claim victimhood when people point out how shitty it was.

Hello, variant cover for #AbsoluteMartianManHunter #4 - I LOVED working on it, this book is amazing, each cover is breathtaking, it was pressure & motivation, what a great team! #DCComics #DigitalArt #ClipStudioPaint #margueritesauvage #bookcover #comicscover #illustration #illustrator #CSP

Saw this got announced, so here's a full look at my "Retrovision" variant cover for issue 7 of Marvel's Magik series

Well, it finally happened. Someone trained an AI on my voice, and used it to generate narration for their YouTube video. Feels pretty bad! Don't like it! I've submitted a privacy complaint with YouTube - hopefully they'll take it down soon.

the alex graham thing is just one of those facebook cartoons you'd see all the time years ago of a sad girl with a painting getting no likes while the bimbo influencer next to her is getting thousands of likes, only its stretched across too many panels, bizarrely racist and has no potential for yuri

The said truth is that all of this prob won’t have any real consequences for Alex Graham Meanwhile Black and BIPOC artists in the industry have been tiptoed around actual issues since forever to not cause problems and still have been sidelined, dismissed, underpaid, insulted, blacklisted and more

The Alex Graham cartoon is so racist that many people have spontaneously decided that she is a man.

There's really nothing you can say about that Alex Graham comic that isn't less damning that actually reading it, good god what a racist mess

Fantagraphics once again proving their special talent of finding the most obnoxious people to ever draw a comic and giving them a book deal just big enough to inflate their egos into blindingly idiotic behavior.

LMAO just saw that crap. I have been a high-value target for "No one REALLY likes your comics, it's all peer pressure/white guilt" types for literal decades. They will tell themselves *anything* to soothe their fragile egos. The entitlement in mind-boggling.

alex graham, published author, could have just minded their business, but because a nonwhite cartoonist somewhere won an award, they had to make a shitty racist comic strip about it for people like alex, no measure of success is ever enough if someone who doesn’t look like them is also succeeding

in case folks need reminding: the term "Calarts style" was coined by John K, who has removed himself from the animation industry due to grooming allegations, to criticize cartoon aesthetics of the 2010s so yeah....there's a reason why the term raises a number of red flags

Hey there, I created a Starter Pack of comic artists (designers, letterers, etc..) looking for PAID work. This might be a good resource if you're an editor or just a creator interested in developing a project. If you'd like to be added, just lemme know!

It's Bigger Than Alex Graham's Comic: An Instagram post has stirred up a hornet's next of controversy by suggesting that comics by marginalized groups are overrated

really excited to share this fun interview with the dude who designed THE Pokemon logo! www.ign.com/articles/mee...

Fourteen Thousand. The long campaign to dehumanize Palestinians is, fundamentally, about this. To provide cover for the annihilation of a people and their culture, from the youngest to the oldest, to shrugs from the most powerful nations in the world.

I saw alex Graham's nasty little comic strip and felt compelled to make a comic of my own really fast. Check it out. www.instagram.com/p/DJ4yM8sTV6...

This has been an awkward way to learn that Alex Graham exists.

Since I read that comic I've been pondering the history of "white guilt," which is an academic theory about a hurdle for teaching anti-racism to willing white people, guilt being a roadblock to necessary personal unpacking. It isn't ..... whatever that is

"white guilt builds a 'culture of fear' in comics" while niggas getting shot and imprisoned and deported and banned from history books and unperson'd and erased in real time. get THEE ENTIRE FUCK over yourself.

I’ve got to stop mindlessly scrolling and channel that time into art

Detective Comics 1100 variant for next Spotlight cover month in August. (This one is already sold, but there’s remaining original art here 👇) blackdiamondbcn.com/product-cate...

Imagine complaining about mediocre POC and thinking they only get published due to white guilt when mediocre white people get published every single day. Pathetic doesn't even cover it.
