Kattober Day 18 - sneaky 🥷
The look in question is from my cat, but probably all cats, to be honest, when they wanna do something they shouldn't.

This is why, if you're wanting to do comics, it's far more important to practice drawing comics than it is to practice drawing. The drawing comes with time and you get the time by getting opportunities to make comics, you get those opportunities by demonstrating storytelling.

Chris Schweizer @ NYCC A-28 @schweizercomics.bsky.social · Sep 6

A lot of people draw well. Who cares? Storytelling is the hook for old pros. Drawing gets better the more you do it, an understanding of storytelling (pacing, compositional choices, directional reading, etc) is frequently more intuitive and suggests potential in a way that a drawing can't.

re: chatgpt and suicide/psychosis, if somebody talked like that to other people in any of my peer support groups they would be banned instantly. a healthcare or psychiatric provider who did so would be stripped of their licensing. a crisis hotline would be sued into oblivion. shut it the fuck down

Nine (9!) years ago I did a run of 15 of these Devil Dino screen printed posters in honor of Jack Kirby.
They’re long gone, but I still like the image.

Happy birthday, Jack.

Comics conventions are going to have to develop and enforce no-AI policies.

And soon.

Probably yesterday would've been good.

My schedule for next month is pretty barren, so, if you need wild art that you won't find anywhere else on your next project, consider hiring me? Covers, sequentials, character design, album covers, I do it all!

Portfolio: lanelloyd.crevado.com

I also offer commissions if you don't have a project

Hello. I wrote a nice long essay about AI and this very strange moment where we're constantly told we're living in the dawn of a strange new future but the only thing that's actually clear is that everyone feels pretty unmoored and uncertain. I hope you'll read it

AI Is a Mass-Delusion Event

Three years in, one of AI’s enduring impacts is to make people feel like they’re losing it.

If I have to explain to you why it's a bad idea to use a machine that makes shit up 15-80% of the time AND destroys the environment AND contributes to rising fascism and genocide AND puts brilliant skillful creatives out of work by stealing their work, then we're already speaking different languages
