We recorded an episode of @drawingadialogue.bsky.social where remus talked about the AIDS quilt and cartoonists who were involved in AIDS activism, I learned a lot in this episode and it's one I think back on often: comicarted.com/blog/2022/8/...

The call campaign is having an effect! The pressure right now is integral, if you are making calls, PLEASE KEEP CALLING. If you havent called yet or took a break, now is a GREAT time to hop on and add to the pressure!

I once asked a bookseller at a large indie store how many people would have to buy a book for it to get the attention of the store buyer and cause an additional order and they said: Three.
I see some book piracy discourse, and, to make a positive argument in favor of buying books, your marginal ability to influence what books get published and support the careers of writers you like is massive compared to most other forms of media.

My high school gave students weekly afternoons off to work on senior thesis projects at home. I illuminated poems by JRR Tolkien in the style of the Book of Kells while listening to musical soundtracks & got a taste of what being a work from home illustrator would be like! Wanted that forever
