Do you need a break, a rest, a moment to recharge before the week begins again? Then pay my forest witch a visit. Just watch out for her neighbors.

IF YOU ARE TRYING TO MAKE A COMIC...
Please talk about it on this thread! I would love to hear what stage you are at, what is working well, and what has proven more difficult than you thought.
Share a bit of art, if you can!
Sing your own praises, if you like!

In a society that's decided that money is final word, be aware of where yours goes and to support what
Yes it sucks, I don't like it either, but pretending it's not a thing does not help!

You’re never going to make everyone happy and that’s okay.
Your needs and your happiness matter, and they deserve to come first.
Do what’s right for you, without carrying the weight of what others might think or say

The most precious commodity you have is your attention. You don’t have to waste it on poor-faith debates or arguments with strangers if you don’t think they’ll be productive. You can prioritize the things that matter to you and make your life richer.

Also wrote dialogue for INDIANA JONES AND THE LAST CRUSADE uncredited.
Tom Stoppard. One of the great writers. An epic wordsmith whose craft was such that one only compares themselves to him aspirationally. ROSENCRANTZ AND GUILDENSTERN ARE DEAD. SHAKESPEARE IN LOVE. BRAZIL. EMPIRE OF THE SUN. BILLY BATHGATE. ANNA KARENINA. Stage, screen, print. A genius. Rest in peace.
Goodbye to the master.

Fuck that noise, do it even if you're old. I learned tattooing at 43. I learned editing and publishing at 46.

If you're not, listen to this.
Get a guitar or some drums, or a trumpet. Pick up a brush, a pencil, some clay or a welder.
Just make shit. It doesn't have to be good (eventually it will be) just make music, art or write or whatever.
It's literally never been more important.

Audience culture is the worst it's ever been, I swear to god. People forgot how to act. I'm at the theater, trying to enjoy my show, which I've paid GOOD MONEY for, and these two old assholes are in the balcony heckling the life out of the poor bear onstage. Not letting him finish a single joke.
