The longer you live the more you realise that every country and group of powerful people is the same while they cry about being more morally superior than the other guy because they’re a different ideology in name. No in fact you’re all the same shit in different toilets

Besides, all of these tasks are… fun? Not that those seeking to make a quick profit but have no talent can understand the purpose of making art
it’s come to my attention that my tumblr post has been crossposted to bluesky, so I’m posting it on my account here #AntiAI #GenAI

Often times I just KNOW I could be a better artist/storyteller/creative if I just consumed more of the things in my to consume list but it's hard to do that

I'm glad people are getting the Nix of Nothing books in their hands, I'm very lucky to have them fulfilled. I think getting them in the hands of people who supported the book is most important.

However, I personally have still not been paid from the Kickstarter which was handled by Hiveworks.
The Hiveworks Artist Guild has released a public statement alleging years of labor abuses, financial mismanagement, and misconduct at Hiveworks at the hands of Xellette “Xel” Velamist and Isabelle “Isa” Melançon. Read their full statement at:

Learn how to work fast from a young age. It obviously helps when on the job, but it also helps keep art from ever feeling tedious.

Its easy to slow down and take your time when you need to, but it's harder to speed up when you need to if you haven't already trained yourself for it.

It's long past time to leave the Nazi bar, and you'll have a much better time here. I updated this guide due to the influx of users fleeing Grok's new AI bullshit. Share widely for all the newcomers!

Just watched the new Knives Out and I think it's really important you know that the scene in the Seminary's Gym is filmed in the same place Rick Astley filmed the music video for Never Gonna Give You Up.

I saw the window tracery and immediately made my friends pause the film so I could tell them.

Very, very few comic book creators can survive on just the money they make from comics. It is an inherently unstable job and it is only getting worse as time goes on. Don't ever be embarrassed or ashamed of needing another job so that you can keep making comics.

Hey Americans, if this passes you'll be uploading your ID to every social media and website to access it.
Be aware that another shitty bill has been introduced: The SCREEN Act.

If passed, it would require Full. Age. Verification.

Like KOSA, call all your reps & tell them what a horrible idea this is.

Spread this pls.

I'm seeing less posts about the Visa and Mastercard situation and I want to make it plain as day. You need to keep calling and bothering them, and losing them money.

Because if we lose this, they are going to cut more and more from what's available until you can only buy what they approve of.
Spoke with an anon source who had an interesting insight into Visa policy. Per a convo with their bank on the Steam/itchio situation today, Visa put new restrictions into place due to a new "government policy." The exact phrase used by Visa. No specific country was listed as the source of the policy

ARTISTS! if you have an old drawing tablet that doesn't have any drivers available anymore or is just unsupported now, i HIGHLY recommend checking out opentabletdriver.net

my old wacom bamboo is now unsupported and you can't even get old drivers anymore, works perfectly (even in windows 11).
