I'll be leaning into a weekly newsletter as social media is less effective delivering info to the the people who want it.
I just sent out one today. I won't be abusing anyone's inbox - just one email a week. If you want to know about projects, art sales, and cool stuff

Not sure why, but the short-lived KEVIN CAN F**K HIMSELF came to mind today. Great series, but so dark.
Maybe it's because conservatives are Kevins to everyone who has hopes and dreams for a better future. Selfishly destroying everything while gaslighting they're doing what's best for everyone

Ah, nothing like Canadian weather changing plans. Looks like the worst winter snow day so far this season.

Zero tolerance is the ONLY and FITTING response to genAI being used in production of media.
Sure, you might think it's too harsh. Sure, they might've only used it for early stuff in development, etc
Listen, it's not even a SLIPPERY slope, there is NO friction at all unless we speak out against it.

For those that don't know: bsky does have an "algorithm" but it's primarily for the Discovery feed. Grab some user created Feeds to mix it up, but be aware that a lot of posts outside Discovery tend to be shown primarily based on time of post. So both liking and reposting will help artists.

DELIVER ME FROM NOWHERE is now streaming, and I'm rewatching it more from just having revisited the far superior COMPLETE UNKNOWN last night than it being good enough to rewatch this soon.
The biggest difference is how much DMFN tells the audience everything vs. CU expecting us to figure it out.

Decided to watch A COMPLETE UNKNOWN again tonight. I liked it well enough the first time, but like Dylan himself, it's better on repeat experiences

Cutting out the insurance companies is single payer?! He's threatening the companies with universal health care unless they curb their greed??
Trump: "With respect to the insurance companies, I want to meet. There's essentially 14 of them, 10 big. I want to meet with them and say, 'I want you to cut your rates. Way down. Way way down.' And maybe, if they do that, we'll be able to not cut them out. We'll be able to continue to deal w/them."

Heartbreaking when someone doesn't get the help they need, even while surrounded by loved ones
Very sad to hear of the death of James Ransone. Loved his work, probably never more so than on The Wire. RIP.

Made with Corel Painter way back in the old days - -it was actually two digital studies I merged in Photoshop.
Used as a cover (multiple covers, actually) by IDW for their Spike series

It may seem they're close to getting it, but they have to get over their vast narcissism first, which means most will never arrive at the reality.

In short, using AI in your writing is among the dumbest things you can do as a writer as it exposes you to potential legal action while affording you zero legal protections. AI is a nightmare box for idiots. Don't fall into the trap of shortcutting your writing career.

The gross misunderstanding of copyright shown by people using A.I. in any capacity in creative work should immediately get every other pro and publisher to stay away from the user like that level of stupid is contagious.
I think every comics creator should internalize the fact that using a.i. for any part of your job not only comprises your work but it also fucks over every other person working with you. It's not worth it. Ever.

Gotta say, I'm awfully surprised and disappointed in @comicsbeat.bsky.social - or at least Javier Perez's -- dismissiveness of, and lack of investigation, over the claims raised by @seannorthridge.bsky.social. Doubly-so given the amount of evidence compiled by several others in Sean's thread.
