Here's the most overexposed guy in comics, in the pages of Le Figaro newspaper in France. The documentary on the Making of My Friend Dahmer launched on ArteTV (a PBS-ish channel). I was in Paris on a press junket. Crazy.
It's a really good documentary.

I wrote an article about the Hiveworks Comics situation on the Dutch comics news platform 9ekunst. Hoping this will give some attention to the situation. Wishing the artists who were victims of the mismanagement much luck with the rest of their carreers

RE: Hiveworks stuff, it's become really clear is how much of the toxicity of the leadership came from seeing fellow artists as competition and threats rather than comrades who lift each other up.

Heeeyy, we can finally talk about this! So, I would like to co-sign everything in this open letter. I would also like to tell everyone about a specific grievance that @femonologue.bsky.social and I have with Xellette after the mishandling of our kickstarter. Screencap/receipts in🧵 to follow!
The Hiveworks Artist Guild has released a public statement alleging years of labor abuses, financial mismanagement, and misconduct at Hiveworks at the hands of Xellette “Xel” Velamist and Isabelle “Isa” Melançon. Read their full statement at:

The Hiveworks thing is both heartbreaking and stunningly mundane. Support these artists directly and check out the comics in this webring, it’s worth your time
A lot of us have actually made a webcomic ring called Chimera Comics after we left hiveworks: chimeracomics.org
This isn't the full list as some artists want their hands completely washed of the situation, but this is a start!

If you can't afford a server to host your comic on, ComicFury or RareBit + NeoCities are more than enough.
But also consider splitting a webhosting bill w/ some m8s!!

but the 57th NAACP Image Awards nominations were announced today and they left off the illustrators of four out of the five graphic novel nominees.

Your reminder that Lichtenstein never gave a dime during his lifetime to the comics artists whose work he shamelessly stole. Nor does his Lichtenstein Foundation which continues to profit greatly from those plagiarized images.
It's unforgivable. Lichtenstein was an immoral parasite.
