Wow. LOISH got accused of using Ai to make her art. I started following her on early deviantart. I remember first seeing her paintings in college. This is ridiculous, no one is safe. Artists Ive followed for actual decades are getting harassed because their work has been stolen and regurgitated.

I’ve been re-watching House as a background show while I draw and man oh man I miss shows having such long seasons! There was an episode that I thought was a season finale but I was only halfway through the first season, incredible.

I started wearing spacers between my first and second toes, because basically everything my feet do I would like them to STOP DOING THAT. Anyway, I think it really helped my balance in my dance class last night??? Makes sense since it’s helping my toes align properly.

Inktober is starting and I am once again not participating because I’m working on my own project and I can’t take the time to add another thing hahaha. But I always love seeing everyone’s drawings when these challenges happen!

There’s a little courtyard outside of my office and I often see a cute little mouse running around in it. I always feel conflicted about it because it’s cute but I don’t want a mouse problem. Anyway, the other day a magpie flew down, got the mouse, and flew away again.

Does anyone have tips for flatting comic pages quickly? I’m working on a new comic and I’d love to get more efficient

I’ve been watching King of the Hill for the first time and really enjoying it. And now after watching the episode Be True to Your Fool, I kinda want to write King of the Hill fanfiction???? Truly something the world does not need 😂

I was reading a manga yesterday and one of the characters was doing embroidery animation!! Juan asked if they were doing it because of me. I’m not the only embroidery animator how here, but who knows, maybe!

Omg it’s finally here! It was a career highlight to be able to spend my time making something like this! It came at a point when I was feeling very burnt out and it this was a project that breathed life into me again. I am so grateful to Cartoon Network for this opportunity youtu.be/IarVMeWtFVU?...

Whipped up a little hat for the Abbey Medieval Festival. And it goes great with the little spectacles I got online. I just need to remember to draw my eyebrows where they’re supposed to be, usually I draw them higher for my other glasses.

Got a haircut for the first time in forever and she was VERY obsessive about getting this fringe absolutely perfect, which is the exact level of obsessive that I want

I’ve been regularly icing my foot for my plantar fasciitis, which is a better summer activity than a winter one. After having my foot on an ice pack for half an hour, the rest of me is always cold as well.

I can’t believe someone out there still likes my old webcomic enough to commission someone? And the drawing is SO nice, better than the comic ever looked hahaha. I don’t share it often but if you want to read a comic I started in high school, here you go: www.theduckwebcomics.com/Rasvaar/4770...

When I lived in Canada, I was watching Bluey in Spanish to help with my Spanish vocabulary. The episode with Bob Bilby really bothered me because in the translation they kept calling him a rabbit, not a bilby. I’m back in Australia and Bluey is on the ABC, and only available in English (1/?)

Do you remember the beginning of the internet when speaking to far away strangers felt so strange and mysterious? And now it’s so everyday. I don’t think this is bad or good, I just realized how different it feels now, as I watch tiktoks of strangers interacting with strangers.

at last, we have invented retrophenology from the classic Discworld text Don’t Invent Retrophenology
Retrophrenology:
It works like this. Phrenology, as everyone knows, is a way of reading someone's character, aptitude and abilities by examining the bumps and hollows on their head. Therefore - according to the kind of logical thinking that characterizes the Ankh-Morpork mind - it should be possible to mould someone's character by giving them carefully graded bumps in all the right places. You can go into a shop and order an artistic temperament with a tendency to introspection and a side order of hysteria. What you actually get is hit on the head with a selection of different size mallets, but it creates employment and keeps the money in circulation, and that's the main thing.

I got the Muppet Treasure Island soundtrack on CD because it never had a digital release and the only other place I can find it is YouTube. I can tell this is a good purchase based on the large number of lyrics I can remember haha. Some of them are really embedded in here.

I finished the first draft of my pitch doc, and sample pages, for a comic I’d like to make and get published. Now what? I’m trying to figure out if it’s better to find and agent or just pitch directly to publishers (I’m in Australia and it seems like you don’t neeeeed an agent.)
