I really needed to see this today. In fact, I might print this out in reverse, make a sign out of it and tape it to my forehead so I can read it every time I look in the mirror.

Yeah, the “noise” is deafening. I have no idea how anyone can traction in today’s industry. Some do, tho. But nobody can explain why some do and some don’t. A tale old as time.

I have an idea for a comic series, but I already have other books I gotta finish. The curse of being a writer/artist is the strong desire to do it all yourself.

Well done! I need to get back to drawing for the sake of… drawing. Often I draw only to make books.

Basically, I feel I have to break into comics all over again. #comics #creator

No, we cannot let Dolly Parton die, not now. Give her all the support she needs. If Nobel peace prizes are being handed out she needs to be on that list now, not later.

I hate waking up wondering why I’m even still alive. It’s like… why do I exist?
jimmierobinson.bsky.social
Mostly I do, but hate my art so much it’s just discouraging when I cannot draw what I see in my mind.
jimmierobinson.bsky.social
What you mean like… draw for the sake of drawing? Lol
jimmierobinson.bsky.social
Like… years. Lol. It’s like I only draw if I have a book.
jimmierobinson.bsky.social
Once again, how can I draw better, make better comics, make something unique… it haunts me.

The price I pay on my old desktop to keep running photoshop CS6.

I’m revisiting an old script I had put on hold — and immediately found huge plot holes all over it. WHAT THE HELL WAS I THINKING?

Excellent! Make the system work for you, don’t get worked by the system.
jimmierobinson.bsky.social
I hear you, friend. I’m on an old Mac OSX desktop and running an old version. If I update I’ll also lose CS6. I know my time is limited. It’s scary, but progress marches on. Just gonna hold on as long as possible.

I bought my disk of CS6 on sale for $300. It has paid for itself multiple times.

It’s good to see so many fellow creatives are getting by on the cheap side.

And yes, my desktop is also old… 2011.
jimmierobinson.bsky.social
Because my desktop is so old I also have to use an older browser version, which makes a mess when I try to send files or go to certain websites. My iPad is newer, so I have that as a go-around, but it’s a first gen iPad… so even that is lagging. I can’t even use the latest version of Clipstudio
