A reminder for those at the back.
A redraw of the i nice panel from Frank Miller's The Dark Knight Returns, where Batman snaps a rifle in two over his knee.

He says "THIS is the weaponnof the enemy. We do not NEED it. We will not USE it."

I've replace the rifle with a plank of wood labelled "AI Slop"

🧵, but also I REALLY want to emphasize "the book is written the way it is for a reason." I sometimes see things like "I don't know if X was on purpose" and yes, yes it was. Unless it's an actual typo or some formatting accident it's on purpose. The author did that on purpose.

Please Kat can you please draw for the book you actually have coming out next 😭
Work in progress shot of a digital painting depicting two fantasy twinks engaging in an embrace that would be romantic if it weren't for the knife jutting out of one of them. They are characters from a book that I haven't even finished drafting yet.

One of the hardest things about being an author is NOT TELLLING EVERYONE ALL THE COOL SHIT YOU HID IN YOUR BOOK BECAUSE YOU WANT PEOPLE TO DISCOVER IT THEMSELVES. But you are also really passionate about the shit you hid in your book.

The way indie music is seen as 'cool' and indie films are seen as 'embracing the craft without selling out' while indie books are seen as 'didn't get trad published' gives me feelings. Really crunchy feelings. The snobbery makes zero sense and instantly tells me someone isn't worth listening to.

Actually every character in the book is me. 1st person? Third? It doesn't matter. The main character? Me. The love interest? Also me. The villain? If they're hot, oh yeah that's me. The dog of course is me. Until they do something i wouldn't. Then this book is terrible and the author is evil

Went on a rant last night but highlighting this. A lot of scammers are stealing real info from agencies to try to convince unrepped authors and artists that they are offering them a deal. Research isn’t just ‘is this agent a real person?’ but is your interaction with them legit. I know it sucks :(

I think about this at least a dozen times a day.
people end up unable to see depiction as anything other than endorsement when their entire cultural diet is escapist fun and reassurance. they see something make them uncomfortable and can only assume people are watching horrible shit as vicarious pleasure and are horrified.

The image is of a four panel comic.
The first panel shows Sarah, the protagonist, as a child. Off panel, someone says to her, “Enjoy your youth!”
The second panel shows child Sarah again, now frowning. The person off panel continues, saying “After you’re 30 you’ll be old and your life will basically be over.”
Before the last two panels there is text that reads “LIFE AFTER I TURNED 30.”
The third panel shows adult Sarah opening a door.
The fourth panel shows the door opens to a beautiful field with flowers, a rainbow, and a pond. Sarah says “Wait what.”

By far the funniest moment in Homer’s Odyssey is when Circe says, “Shall we have sex?” and Odysseus says, “You just turned all my men into pigs. You have the GALL to think I would sleep with you? Of course I will. Absolutely. But don’t do any weird spells”
photograph of the relevant passage in Fitzgerald's translation of the Odyssey ("I make no bed of love with you upon it. Or swear me first a great oath, if I do, you'll work no more enchantment to my harm.")
