If you haven’t gotten the chance yet, check out #ChiefOfWar. This was Jason Momoa’s dream, and for me, it’s incredibly moving and special thing to see a TV show of this quality entirely in the Hawaiian language. It’s extraordinary.

Wow that #ChiefOfWar finale was incredible. I have learned so much. I’ve taught the colonization of Hawaii in my History of Race and American Law class. But this takes place earlier, during the rise of of the first King of all the islands

Absolutely loving #ChiefOfWar. Had no idea Hawaiian history and culture was so brutal and complex in the 18th century during its unification.
This should be as highly acclaimed as Shogun was.

If you ever thought of literary translation as some mathematical formula where there was somehow in there a literal solution, take a gander at a handful of professionals translating the first line of Beowulf and realize that it's art, and that these translators are as much authors themselves.
...if I'd done even the barest comparative reading of just the first line of Beowulf, I'd have been well on my way to a better sense of what literary translation involves.

I get that artist editions are often logistically and financially untenable, but I do wish that more publishers would put out black-and-white editions: inks-only slightly oversized versions so you can pore over the drawings themselves. I'd bend over backwards for B&W 6th Gun, Firepower, Davis BPRD

I wanna add to this! I often see artist doing last minute prints/stuff for a convention - because they think that is what the specific audience wants. It should be the other way around - do whatever you want to do and than look for conventions who cater to your audience. This is way less stressing!
The biggest thing i've learned as an artist who sells prints and merch is don't make what people ask for. They won't buy it. Make what you, the artist, want to see printed on the support of ur choice.
I can't explain why but THAT'S what will sell. People who buy the most are the silent ones. 🫶

Remember, artists: when people say, “I’d buy a print of this,” they don’t mean it. That sentence itself is just a weird compliment that rarely converts to an actual print sale. It’s like if someone ate a very good hot dog and then said, “I could eat 10,000 of these right now.”

Another thing to keep In mind is, if you make merch of Big Popular Thing, you are DIRECTLY competing with artists who Love Big Popular Thing 10000x more passionately than you do and it will SHOW in the difference of quality of work, even if you are the "better" artist . Might as well do YOUR thing!
