Bad Ink Studios @badinkstudios.bsky.social · 20/07/2025Lydia drew a tribute for our first ever customer in Saudi Arabia. Video coming soon. We've now shipped comics to almost every region of the world! 1110
Bad Ink Studios @badinkstudios.bsky.social · 11/07/2025I can't stop thinking about the horrible twilight zone episode that every introverted artist has experienced in the 2020s. "The entire world shut down and now runs at your speed with zero social obligation but oops your entire career is in jeopardy thanks to generative AI" 1110
Bad Ink Studios @badinkstudios.bsky.social · 06/07/2025I still can't believe Lydia can knock out a piece with a single brush in only 8 minutes, but if you want to see the whole thing, then we just dropped the second part of our MUSHROOM MADNESS series. www.patreon.com/posts/uncut-...patreon.comUNCUT DRAWING - Warmup Shrooms | Bad Ink StudiosGet more from Bad Ink Studios on Patreon 080

Bad Ink Studios @badinkstudios.bsky.social · 26/06/2025Want to know how much I hate the YouTube copyright system? I literally taught myself how to make lofi hip-hop beats so that I will never get a strike again. 1160
Bad Ink Studios @badinkstudios.bsky.social · 18/06/2025Did you know that Lydia and I have a one-page comic in this anthology? And did you know the anthology is Eisner nominated? AND did you know I went to Forbidden Planet in NYC and it's on a special rack??? 0100
Bad Ink Studios @badinkstudios.bsky.social · 18/06/2025Got a ton of love for this piece lately, so we uploaded the full, uncut video of Lydia pencilling and inking it! Only took her about 45 mins. www.patreon.com/posts/uncut-... 0142
Bad Ink Studios @badinkstudios.bsky.social · 15/06/2025Still think this is one of Lydia's best (and most underrated) drawings. Every time we feature it in a short, it doesn't catch on. So I'm just going to keep posting it places until people acknowledge how fire all that water is. 38913
Bad Ink Studios @badinkstudios.bsky.social · 10/06/2025Our latest uncut inking video is a wild blend of sketchy, looseness and total understanding of perspective and architecture.

Bad Ink Studios @badinkstudios.bsky.social · 05/06/2025The issue that concerns me about AI is not AI by itself, it's the weird convergence of growing anti-intellectualism/lack of curiosity ALONGSIDE the rise of AI. Even in the 4-5 years I've been making content about comics, I feel like the comments are fewer and less thoughtful. 1160
Bad Ink Studios @badinkstudios.bsky.social · 27/05/2025Our next longform lettering video clocks in at just over 16 minutes, but it's packed full of goodness. I will always brag about how much info we can pack into our videos, when other channels would bloat it out to 30-60 mins for the same info. 0110
Bad Ink Studios @badinkstudios.bsky.social · 22/05/2025Just dropped our first uncut, full, real-time coloring video! An hour from start to finish, beginning with line art, ending with a fully rendered piece. Available on Patreon. 0100
Bad Ink Studios @badinkstudios.bsky.social · 21/05/2025Every time I order a book from Taschen, I am not prepared for what an absolute UNIT it is. 0120
Bad Ink Studios @badinkstudios.bsky.social · 21/05/2025The Wikipedia for Starwolf has something we should ALL strive for with our work: 050
Bad Ink Studios @badinkstudios.bsky.social · 15/05/2025I fear my "don't make your lettering too complicated" video is just going to make people want to do stuff like this. Truly the DARE program of lettering videos... 0131
Bad Ink Studios @badinkstudios.bsky.social · 12/05/2025I got a text from Lydia about her vintage nib collection, to which I responded "um, what vintage nib collection??" and it turns out she has dozens of 100 year-old nibs and you know we're definitely making videos about them... 0190
Bad Ink Studios @badinkstudios.bsky.social · 10/05/2025Latest video is the most important I've ever made. It's both an apology and clarification. Because I sort of misled millions of viewers........ www.youtube.com/shorts/GFQJT...youtube.comI accidentally misled millions of viewers 😱😱😱 #comics #manga #artistYouTube video by Bad Ink Studios 072
Bad Ink Studios @badinkstudios.bsky.social · 29/04/2025Someone should use this as the cassette cover for a dungeon synth release 020
Bad Ink Studios @badinkstudios.bsky.social · 27/04/2025The latest short about Tourettes was the hardest I've ever worked on a single video. The research required and the design challenges felt overwhelming at first. Very proud of the positive response this is getting. www.youtube.com/shorts/_4ZXc...youtube.comIt was so much more complicated than anyone realized! #comics #manga #graphicdesignYouTube video by Bad Ink Studios 1143
Bad Ink Studios @badinkstudios.bsky.social · 26/04/2025Ima be honest. If I had known when I started YouTube & TikTok that I had secret powers of actually making videos people would want to watch, I might have chosen a niche that had a little more inherent excitement. Because it's really hard to make speech balloon stroke weight interesting sometimes... 0240
Bad Ink Studios @badinkstudios.bsky.social · 26/04/2025Someone should make a graphic novel of the Tortilla Riots, Mexico circa 1847, when corn prices exploded and tortilla vendors basically started a mini-revolution over workers rights. This ComicsAndTortillas person would probably hate that. 220
Bad Ink Studios @badinkstudios.bsky.social · 25/04/2025Latest lettering video had an incredibly kind response from the tourette's community and those with tics. It took a lot of research, but this was the lettering system I tried to build. Working on the second video that clarifies these decisions even more. 0201
Bad Ink Studios @badinkstudios.bsky.social · 07/04/2025Damn. I knew him a bit. He had a later career in marketing/strategy in Portland. I went to the University of Oregon at the communications school and he was somehow in with the professors. Or rather they were in with him. Incredibly smart person. 010

Bad Ink Studios @badinkstudios.bsky.social · 05/04/2025Time to publicly admit my love of the found footage horror genre. Gimme that shaky camcorder footage and a spooky lack of context ALL DAY. Never understood the hate it gets. It’s such a great way to hide a lack of budget inside a specific aesthetic and it’s so immersive 2170
Bad Ink Studios @badinkstudios.bsky.social · 05/04/2025Seriously considering creating an educational video about the impact of tariffs on small business, using our comic publisher as an example. It might actually be the first tangible example our (mostly younger) audiences actually sees. 6440
Bad Ink Studios @badinkstudios.bsky.social · 05/04/2025They watched The Warriors and Jacob’s Ladder and it shaped their view of the subway lol 000
Bad Ink Studios @badinkstudios.bsky.social · 02/04/2025Can’t stop thinking about this single example from Scott McCloud and how many storytelling problems this solves if you need to end a sequence. 0172
Bad Ink Studios @badinkstudios.bsky.social · 31/03/2025I never predicted that a lot of my adult life would be spent making tutorial content—essentially teaching. I also didn’t predict I’d be one of those teachers who constantly said “I can’t do all the work for you.” How the turntables…. 0210
Bad Ink Studios @badinkstudios.bsky.social · 31/03/2025Cool guide for all the stories that influenced the most recent issue of our comic. Also can we just talk about how disturbingly prescient "I Have No Mouth And I Must Scream" remains? 0160
Bad Ink Studios @badinkstudios.bsky.social · 31/03/2025Throwback to that time Steamboat Willie entered the public domain and I attempted to shade the original poster like a 90s manga. 0252
Bad Ink Studios @badinkstudios.bsky.social · 26/03/2025I’ve always loved this photo of kids in the west village reading comics in the 40s. Every time I’m here I always wonder what storefront it was. Best I can do is this awesome 1940s cigar sign. 0110

Bad Ink Studios @badinkstudios.bsky.social · 19/03/2025Latest short is the most dramatic telepathic conversation you've ever read. www.youtube.com/shorts/Q2-4q... 0201
Bad Ink Studios @badinkstudios.bsky.social · 17/03/2025Honestly it’s really good, maybe even better. The medium of film enhances her silence and isolation from the others. One of the few cases I’d say this 010
Bad Ink Studios @badinkstudios.bsky.social · 16/03/2025Definitely Akira, Blame, Ghost in the Shell, Full Metal Alchemist, and Delicious In Dungeon (show is good but Manga is even better). But probably the most influential to us is Junji Ito! 020
Bad Ink Studios @badinkstudios.bsky.social · 16/03/2025Today’s reading list: I’ve finally made my way to volume 5 of the IDW TMNT series. Along with a revisit of Silent Voice, which I’ve read before but wanted to check again for specific use of lettering. #comics #tmnt #manga 2160
Bad Ink Studios @badinkstudios.bsky.social · 15/03/2025Sigh. My voice sounds professional and I get this reaction a lot when I narrate our videos. I've never used AI voice gen and never will use AI voice gen when creating Bad Ink content. Sorry that I actually balance levels and it doesn't sound like heavy breathing into an iphone mic. 5251

Bad Ink Studios @badinkstudios.bsky.social · 13/03/2025The vast majority of lettering questions are really questions about writing a scene. I'm kidding here, but I'm really not, also. 2153
