She's yelling about graphic novels again. I wrote a blog post about how to track work hours and do the math to build better work schedules. This speaks to graphic novelists specifically but it's good info for any freelancer!

It’s likely the artist behind that ECCC table paid at least $450 for the table $500-700 for lodging $150 (+) for food/drink $300+ for merch. The financial risk is real! Be nice to the creators behind the table and even if you don’t got the $$ to spare, a kind word goes a long way.

a world without trans people has never existed and never will

a medieval style digital drawing of an androgynous brown-skinned knight on horseback on a hill, stabbing a long gold spear into a blue dragon on the ground. the knight has a gold halo behind their head and wears a suit of silver armor with a nonbinary flag striped tunic and a trans flag as a cape. their horse is white, with blue tack with trans pride trim. there is black gothic text at the top and bottom of the image reading “A world without trans people has never existed and never will.” there’s an ornate pale blue border around the image, filled with pink and blue scrollwork, gold hearts filled with colorful flowers, a smiley bat, two smiley moles, and two smiling frogs holding up trans flags.

you can't get more right than this RIP 👑

steve albini posts from 2022 responding to a guy saying 20 year olds should kill themselves working:

if you're working for somebody else, this is awful advice. in your 20s you're made out of rubber and nothing leaves a dent. live your fucking life drink all the drinks take all the drugs fuck anyone who'll have you stay up all night. don't work a single minute off the clock.

you'll have the next sixty years to buckle down and be a professional, and by the time they give you your gold watch you won't have a mushroom guy in your phone any more. I'm going to be 60 in a few weeks and I regret every hour of my life i traded for wages like I was robbed.

This is very true. Everything you want to learn about any art or craft is freely available on YouTube. The problem is, you then have to do the work, which is the sticking point for many.

A tweet by Jess Owen which reads:

Al didn't democratize art.

Artists did.

Free YouTube tutorials, sketch pages, advice blogs, works-in-progress, mentorship, AMAs, process videos. Sharing materials, stock references, resources, and technique. These are freely available to anyone who wants to learn.

Shane McGowan died in mortal combat with Henry Kissinger this morning. Having given battle against the vile shade for seven days and seven nights, such was the fury of his final blow that it rent his beating heart in two with its delivery. We will sing of his tragic victory for a thousand years

what's that thing called in other countries where they have full time workers to backfill roles when folks get sick/go on vacation? it's not a temp, they are trained on various positions and can just step in. anyways, this country is stupid and needs them and i know it will not happen. grrr.

very random question but does anyone have a copy of the star trek ships of the line calendar from 2012? i've had weirder questions answered, so i figured i'd give this a whirl...

my biggest comixology memory was that in the VERY early days, we were taking pens and drawing numbered boxes in actual books to show the panel order. and then double checking the programming later on. that was...a lot!

Cat Pawing at Goldfish. Ca. 1770s. www.artic.edu/artworks/211...

Color woodblock print of a white cat with black tabby markings and orange eyes, hanging menacingly over the edge of a very large ornate ceramic teal and light pinkish orange fish bowl that sits on the floor of a room. The little goldfish are swimming about but I'm having trouble reading their reactions. They could be terrified or oblivious, their little fish faces are stoic.

Just a reminder :) Jpeg loses fidelity and is correct for online publication only Tiff does not lose fidelity but reads poorly on web browsers so it is correct for print only RGB is for online, CMYK is for print Highly saturated and luminous greens/cyan do not print.
