I just finished this and Hello Sunshine is so stunning. Top-tier cartooning and powerfully immersive character work. I loved every page and couldn't stop thinking about it. Really highly recommend!
Hello Sunshine is a horror mystery GN about a boy who comes back from bible camp to find out that his secret boyfriend, Alex, is missing after a very public mental breakdown. #comics

Hi authors! Please remember to file a claim!
AI advocates have warned that if every author in the class action filed a claim, it would "financially ruin" the entire industry.
Authors celebrate “historic” settlement coming soon in Anthropic class action

Em dashes are prevalent in professional writing and LLMs were largely trained on stolen professional writing, therefore LLMs use em dashes. In the name of God, stop talking like Skynet has its own house style.

✅ an actual website!
✅ distinct categories if you're multidisciplinary
✅ majority sequential pages
✅ easily found contact info
✅ only work that reflects what you want to be hired FOR

People keep talking about the comparison of quality between art and genAI content, and it ultimately doesn't matter, because it's about taking the means of production from labour and transferring it entirely to the control of the corporate elite. It's a dehumanization machine, & a danger to all.
