It’s not a ‘ridiculous position’ to say I won’t support anyone using generative AI. I don’t care if it’s ’only a little’. It taints them and their product. To use a classic: here, they’ve made a sandwich with only a little bit of shit smeared inside. Still want to eat it?

Stardew Valley, while fairly successful early on, took several years to even reach that state, as the dev worked part time, and had a spouse willing to support him in working on the game. It then took nearly a decade AFTER release for Stardew Valley to reach the point it's at now.

I used to sit for awhile and think About life after death I had seen leaves fall from dead trees In the wake of winter For winters are hard in this lonely country Although haunted you could call it Still fall those leaves Time after time And I wonder why I shan't join them

Comics is a medium where the ability to make a piece of work is more accesible than most. Find a
collaborator, that's also eager to get a start and make a comic.
Make a good, unignorable,
professional comic. Use that as proof of principle.
S'what I did.

this is so reductive like yes comics are much more "accessible" than other art forms but this just meritocracy myth bs, someone can make
"professional" comics for decades and still not make it in the field because nothing is merit based in the arts, especially comics

The biggest target I've ever seen on my books. Texas placed Banned Book Club and Occulted on a state-wide list of illegal "dirty books." Having them in any school could lead to state takeover where the government could shut down the library entirely and convert it into a student detention center.

Texas Lieutenant Governor releases a list of 2200 "dirty books" deemed illegal for school libraries to have, including two of my books about book censorship.

lol I love writing comics bc some asshole online can be like “gross I’m not reading garbage written by an Indian woman” & then I can write more comics that jerk won’t get to enjoy 🥰 any way, pick up HOUSE OF HARKNESS next week at your local bookstore or REALMGUARD #1 on marvel unlimited now!

the cover for House of Harkness #1 featuring Wanda and Agatha standing back to back, each holding a magical spell in their hands and looking at the reader. THey're both wearing variations of the school uniform, each in a purple blazer with a yellow tie. Wanda's got on a gray skirt and a read sweater under the blazer while Agatha is wearing a plain white shirt and black skirt. They're standing outside against some greenery, and in the distant background behind them you can see the school -- a large stately, castle looking building.

The cover for Marvel Infinity Comics Realmguard #1

It features the fantasy type REALMGUARD over what seems to be an iteration of the Captain America shield. DOOM's eyes feature heavily at the top, underneath is a montage of Steve Rogers, Mary Jane, Scarlet Witch, Black Panter, Shang-Chi, Black Cat, and Iron Man. At the enter in the bottom is Spider-Man. All of them are fantasy version of their costumes.

If you ever encounter a writer or storyteller talking about a project they're working on currently, the very best thing you can do to encourage them is think of something else you've heard of that's like vaguely maybe similar to what they're saying, and tell them about that immediately.

Artists love when you do this. When you interrupt them talking about their work to say like "oh that reminds me of this," they love that. It encourages them enormously--oh my, other people have made things! That means I can too! You're doing them a terrific service, reducing their work like that.

Hot tip: If your bio says something like "animation fan, wanna work for an animation studio someday!" and then you spend most of your posts pooping on the work that people made, the artists do actually see that, and you probably won't be getting that job anytime soon. It's just professionalism.

I think the cool advantage of webcomics is that we can edit old pages or add more or take stuff out after it's been published. The entire medium is always living and because it's on the web, it's not as destructive as ripping out physical pages or having to reprint! I think it's neat 😎
