Long ago on the hell site I made long list of historically interesting things to use in dnd ttrpgs and I'll start dragging them over here starting with

2000 years-old sapphire ring presumably belonged to Roman emperor Caligula, depicting his fourth wife Caesonia.

"How do I find my art style?"
I've been a creative pro for 10 years, this is the number 1 question I get.

They want creative work to be recognizably theirs in an instant-- like Miyazaki or Wes Anderson movies.

This is the formula for art style, it's much simpler than you think.

why were so many children's chapter books an introduction to the idea that "your cool rowdy friend can suddenly die for no reason"?

As the year comes to an end, I'm reposting some of the comics I made this year, including this ridiculous thing.

"Let’s say 20 years ago the rate for a page of pencils was $150. People still get paid that."

My work is largely in the book market, buuuut yeah.

BOOM! recently reached out to offer an IP gig with the following rates:
script $50/page, pencils&inks $150/pg, colors $50/pg
The one about comic book page rates – again. News flash: Comic book page rates are STILL stagnant, after all these years, and for indie cartoonists it's even harder

Adding on:

Even big advances you see people get for their comic/GN deal contracts are split between 2-4 paid installments, over the course of 2 or 3 years (unless you draw really fast).

So a $70k advance, split 3x over 3 years, is $23k/yr not including fees and taxes. It’s not a livable wage.
Remember: Comic creators make far less than you think. Generally page rates haven't gone up in about 40 years, and in some cases have literally gone DOWN. Plus way more comic creators have day jobs (hi)/family support/etc than you think. Nothing wrong with that! But no one is doing this to get rich.
