Canada made weird tv shows because it was all being done with government funded art grant money so they fell in this wacky middle ground between “shoestring budget” and “no expectation to generate shareholder value” which is really the best way to make art

TAPS SCREEN

For like the zillionth time: Libraries are FREE for you, but WE still get compensated for our work!!
Just saw someone claim that authors who want to be paid for their work are "class traitors" because we "only let the wealthy" read our books, and I think I need to go into the woods to scream into the night for a bit.

It's $5, not your first-born child! I need that $5 for health insurance!

Since this year of all years I think skipping the big stores and shopping small businesses is a great thing, I asked my discord community to give me links to their shops!

Please link to your own shops in the replies, and show us some pics of your favorite items!

I need everybody to read this and understand what’s going on. These are spouses of US citizens in the country legally. They have entry clearance and green cards, they’ve passed background checks and have no criminal records. ICE is taking them anyway.

Where you choose to spend your money is a political act, and the richest in the world don't need to be any richer.

The call to shop small for Christmas goes far beyond 'support artists' (but that too) - it's a battle cry for ethical consumption in a world entirely driven by capitalism.

I get told pretty often something along the lines of real artists want the world to have our art, and like…yeah. I give away/trade a lot of art because that makes me happy, and I would do that a lot more if I DIDN’T HAVE TO PAY FOR HEALTHCARE. These people just want to skip the step where we eat 😒

Thought it might be fun to post some process.
Step 1: Flats and sketch.
Step 2: Rendering elements.
Step 3: Color adjustment.
Step 4. Final lighting pass.

we are missing some of the loudest megaphones the mutual aid community on bluesky has so, if you participated in the past, or just support what we do, please spread it loud and help people make their non-denominational xmas brighter

I haven't start the m9 animated series yet even though I really want to. It's just that c2 is my happy place and I'm worried I won't like the changes they made. Also, whether I enjoy the animated series or not, it'll make me want to rewatch c2 and I just don't have time for that lol

I cannot recommend subscribing to OOYL more, friends.
Out of Your League is so much more than just a newsletter. It’s a community. It’s my livelihood. And I can’t do it without all of you.
I've shared some real talk on what it's been like since leaving Substack and how you can help. This newsletter is not AI slop and it is written by a human (me!), and I pay other people to help me create the product you receive in your inbox on a regular basis. But I can't do it without you!

This is an awesome list! Thanks for including me, Tony!

Shop small everyone. Not only will you be helping an indie maker pay their bills, you'll probably find something much cooler than you could at walmart.
Since I've started here, I've come across many awesome creators and small business owners. With the holiday shopping season here, I figured it was about damn time to finally make a Starter Pack.

Fuck Amazon. Fuck WalMart. Fuck Target. Shop small if you can.

I wish I could just give my stuff away instead of partaking in capitalism, but alas I must eat.
