Been to Rome a few times and did group tours with www.contexttravel.com/cities/rome .Spendy but worth it. Colosseum and Forum tour on one trip, Vatican tour on another, and on another my brother-in-law did one about Caravaggio. Tours are led by art historians/architectural historians.

We are in Austin for a couple of days staying downtown and the number of empty Waymos tootling around is astounding.

Agree! We are in Fishtown, and it's pretty good here with trees, but there are lots of places in Philly where there aren't any or aren't enough.

I had one almost mow me down in the crosswalk and then roll her window down to yell at me. That was cool.

I had a post just go kinda viral-ish over on IG and I got a few of those, and I’m like, friends, no one is paying me anything for my lil’ comics and I have to have a day job to be able to afford to teach a class now and then.

Also! She does visual/graphic essay instead of comics, but Ariel Aberg-Riger works with a lot of collaged historical photos and documents in her visual storytelling.

Nora Krug comes immediately to mind for collage. And Julie Doucet’s Carpet Sweeper Tales. There’s also Shira Spector’s Red Rock Candy Baby. Frank Santoro’s Pittsburgh.

I lived and studied in Germany in the late 80s and throughout the 90s. Rode the train all over. Was there in December two years ago and could not believe how awful it was, and I regularly ride Amtrak now!

Seeing the same on LinkedIn for copywriting jobs. And the pay is super low.

David Lasky makes and reaches Haiku comics @davidlasky.bsky.social and Grant Snider has published a book of poetry comics for kids recently. Issues of the now defunct INK BRICK have lots of great examples. ANMLY also publishes some.

Silent comics are so much harder to make and communicate what you intend to communicate!

No subsidies for us, 2 freelancers in our late 50s/early 60s. Going up from almost 1700 total to about ~2200 for a silver plan. It was already our largest expense BEFORE the increase.

I made a thing. After months and months of not making anything.

A haiku comic called Early November with a full color large drawing of Palmer Cemetery in Philadelphia overlaid with 3 panels featuring line drawings. Panel 1 is a rotting jack-o-lantern. Panel 2 is a dead tree with eyeball ornaments hanging on it. Panel 3 is a creepy owl sculpture in window box. The hand lettered text reads: fake spider webs float/dead leaves on the ground/winter creeps closer.

I had been wondering what the story was behind this project, and now I know. Thank you!

I'm angry and also worried. The 9:00 PM "curfew"/shut down that starts Jan 1 is going to be very bad for very many people.

I've been thinking a lot about what I want to make and what I don't want to make anymore and why and feeling a bit what's the point of any of it. This post by @thelincoln.bsky.social was a little life raft for me: open.substack.com/pub/counterc...

Something similar happened to me at a party several years ago. I was asked what I did and I replied, I’m a copywriter. And the person thought I was an IP lawyer who dealt with copyright issues. This was at a party in NYC, so there was really no excuse for it.

Weeks 20 and 21 of a 4-year documentary journal project. I lumped 2 together because it was a struggle this time and I am wondering if I even want to keep going with it? Meanwhile, this war plans group chat thing seems sticky enough to not just go away?

Second page of a handlettered journal entry documenting the last 2 weeks. Text is about everyday acts and evasions of Germans during the 1930s and 40s. Line drawings of people walking based on street photos from Berlin in the 1930s.

Third page of a handlettered journal entry covering the past 2 weeks concentrated on acts of individuals. Mentions the Jim Crow South and events in Washington, including the capitulation of both Columbia University and the law firm Paul, Weiss.

I made this the other night while procrastinating, mainly because I thought all the posts about the blackout were boring. It feels like there is momentum bringing people together!

A poster for the economic blackout on February 28. It is a big red Jack rabbit on an aqua blue back ground. It says economic blackout in hand done black type. There are two black speech bubbles. One says “don’t buy stuff Friday February 28th. The other says we have power. Below it says No Amazon, Walmart, target, gas food, gas. Below that it says OK small business, use cash. Designed by Martha Rich.
