Agents that lack experience in illustration and comics will not see the red flags. It's in an artist's best interests to document their workflow so they can understand it and protect it fiercely. 1444

MK Reed - @ SPX K4B @mkreed.bsky.social · 05/10/2026I promise you this is so much closer than most people get it. If you put a loop of yarn around where the needles are crossed you'd have done it perfectly. 110

MK Reed - @ SPX K4B @mkreed.bsky.social · 01/10/2026It does benefit from being spread throughout the town instead of cramming into one stinky building where people don't know how far to walk off an escalator before stopping their large gathering. 120
MK Reed - @ SPX K4B @mkreed.bsky.social · 01/10/2026Both, you can see incredible art & artists, have amazing food, and then walk by an Umbrella Corp pop up immersive experience. But you can choose instead to sit in a flower garden or climb a six story watchtower and do some fun people watching. 230

If you really care about student literacy, how about we start with reinstating the requirement for staffed libraries in every school? We have students struggling with core skills. And y'all want to throw the slop products at them. 17522

MK Reed - @ SPX K4B @mkreed.bsky.social · 24/09/2026Hardly anyone has the extra resources to put into a serious option, I think is what it mainly comes down to, and anyone that does it goes into the VC Ouroboros that eventually kills it. 100
MK Reed - @ SPX K4B @mkreed.bsky.social · 24/09/2026My experience is that it's not something getting taught in any academic programs (along with a lot of professional practices) but I think there's a large vein of it in social media channels, which... ymmv from creator to creator & many of the clickbaity channels don't have the most lived experience 020

MK Reed - @ SPX K4B @mkreed.bsky.social · 24/09/2026I feel like this was an underrepresented part of the caged in booth discourse. A tower of tiny things makes it really hard to parse what's on display, especially if you can't get all the way to the table because of aisle traffic. 130

MK Reed - @ SPX K4B @mkreed.bsky.social · 23/09/2026The important thing is you can be found consistantly in one place. I've been using Caard for awhile & I love how easy it is. 110
MK Reed - @ SPX K4B @mkreed.bsky.social · 23/09/2026Yeah, I have barely survived some Wordpress installations, no denying those psychic wounds are still there. But it feels like I'm on my 10th webcomics infrastructure collapse. 110
MK Reed - @ SPX K4B @mkreed.bsky.social · 23/09/2026Still, the scale of this expense is not in the realm of a mortgage on a house, or student loans, or a car. I do not want people who've never looked into the cost to get the idea that this is completely out of reach for them. (It's also a business expense, so can be written off taxes here.) 110
MK Reed - @ SPX K4B @mkreed.bsky.social · 23/09/2026Admittedly, no matter where you live, it takes a certain amount of security/stability to have that extra to begin with, which has continually been a problem for cartoonists as it's a labor intensive & unstable work. 120
