IF YOU ARE TRYING TO MAKE A COMIC...

Please talk about it on this thread! I would love to hear what stage you are at, what is working well, and what has proven more difficult than you thought.

Share a bit of art, if you can!

Sing your own praises, if you like!

The only thing less human than these AI dub performances is the decision to sign off on them

A company this big can pay human actors a decent wage, not produce slop that intentionally removes the human element.

"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

Huge thanks to @peposed.bsky.social for the kind words about my upcoming comic series IS TED OK?

You guys...this book is going to rearrange your brain. It will stick with you--Ted will always live in your head after you read it (but not in a bad way).

Be sure to preorder, ok?!
“Dave Chisholm does it again, unleashing a runaway tornado of sci-fi worldbuilding, creeping paranoia, and genuine human connection… IS TED OK? is a singular, captivating work of art from one of comics’ truly great craftsmen.” - David Pepose (Cable: Love and Chrome, Moon Knight: City of the Dead) Variant cover by the amazing Christian Ward The cover to IS TED OK? Issue 1!!!

A picture of Rian Johnson, a white man in a brown suit. He has dirty blond hair and a salt and pepper beard. There’s a large quote from him, that reads: “Yeah, f*** Al.

not for nothing but when the AI bubble pops, and it will, I think any and all employees who didn't use it/make efforts to restore the functions and productivity that was lost to AI should get some kind of ethics-based bonus

My students made fun of me this morning for saying that you have to be careful when you're erasing so that you don't skronk up your paper and that I always test my Posca pens before using them so that they don't blorch paint all over my drawings.

Pretty basic art terminology.
