Any fellow cartoonists that want to learn how to play D&D? I’m going to run a one shot with the hopes that it starts a longer term campaign in the new year!

Remember your favorite creator possibly might be struggling with imposter syndrome and doubt and this timeline sucks.. so if you find yourself thinking “wow I really relate to this persons work” or that persons work gives you joy, you should probably tell them. It’s a hard time to be a creative.

If I had a nickle for every time I've been referred to a specialist, only for the specialist to insist it has nothing to do with them, then get sent for a second opinion by the referring doctor who tries to remain Professional while calling the specialist dumb, I'd have two nickles, which isn't-

The book secret santa I'm involved in matched us today! Unfortunately the whimsy of choosing books was taken from me, because who I was matched with listed very specific books they wanted and said not to pick anything else ): At least that was completed easily...

Unsolicited artist advice of the day: if you're a freelancer with no back up devices or storage, remember to pick a few things up in the black Friday sales. Even a pen drive to back up your projects so if you have a catastrophic hard drive failure you wont lose everything..learn from my mistakes. 😅

PLS leave reviews and spread the word about graphic novels you enjoy 😭 it's so hard to even convince agents & editors to consider adult gns & bc of the idea they don't know how to market it
For graphic novels, especially adult genre fiction, it's incredibly helpful to review it online, talk about it, recommend it to a friend—adult fiction in the graphic novel space is difficult to place, and nothing convinces readers that they'll like a book more than the personal testimonial.
If you like an author's work, the best thing you can do is buy it. The second best thing you can do is ask your local library to buy it. Or, do both!

Two doctors appointments this week to follow up on my eye issue not solved by my hospitalization, therefore my routine is already thrown off and this week is a wash

A reminder that the median book deal for a debut author in the UK is £7000, paid over 12-18 months. (from 2022 Society of Authors report). Some of your favourite writers are struggling. societyofauthors.org/2022/12/06/a....

If you're buying gifts for the holidays, maybe consider supporting artists, writers, creators. Gift someone a Patreon, commission an art piece, buy a book, purchase handmade jewelry, etc. Your support means everything.

A pinch of this, a dash of that for a witches’ brew…

Resulting tea flavours:
🐦‍⬛ Terrible father figures
🐦‍⬛ The cost paid in being gifted magic
🐦‍⬛ Found family
🐦‍⬛ Good is not nice
🐦‍⬛ Embracing one’s own capabilities
🐦‍⬛ Learning to grieve
🐦‍⬛ Finding courage
🐦‍⬛ Second chances

BLOOD ON OUR NAMES

Power corrupts.

Fed magic drop by drop, those who provide it make the call on what those lucky fey will do with it. As the chess masters tug the threads of fate, it’ll be all the more difficult to stop them with the tools they themselves have provided.

Something about Toyhouse has unlocked for me those old days of internet spaces with cute customized and detailed profile pages for your characters and the countless surveys to fill in exploring their personalities...
