"The Light Always Returns," a phrase that's been kicking around in my head these days. I want to keep repeating it until it becomes the truth. #print #comicart #hope
A mongolian horse rider has captured a long cloth and holds it triumphantly while stars fall around them. Above, traditional Mongolian patterns frame the illustration and shagai (sheep ankle bones that portend the future) in the four positions are drawn in circles. Text at the bottom reads "THE LIGHT ALWAYS RETURNS"

#3157 A helpful tutorial
A digital drawing of one of those drawing tutorials that says 'don't do this, do this.' The drawing is of an almost naked middle-aged man doing a flying kick. The 'Don't do this' one has a bunch of areas circled and a cross under it. The 'Do this' one is exactly the same but without the circles and a tick instead of a cross. The text reads 'Needlessly adding red circles will ruin your art' and a smaller bit of text at the bottom reads 'Bonus tip! Add a tick under all your art so people think you did it right.'

A comic I made all around failure is up now @crucialcomix.bsky.social ! It was the first time I've worked with editors and I felt challenged in all the right ways. Thank you so much team and I hope you enjoy reading.

Artist Ami Bogin struggles and shakes doing the pole dance move "flatline scorpio" in which you hold yourself to the pole with opposite knee and hand while your other leg and hand stretch outwards. The title of the comic is "Failing Beautifully"

How would you describe that worldview? My father told me something when I was very small to instill confidence in me: “Nobody in the world is worth more than you, but nobody’s worth less.” It is an egalitarian view that I’ve carried around in my life. That’s why I am for free schools, free universities, free health care, and free babysitting. Because our society could afford it. In America, people think social democracy is some kind of communism. They think capitalism is freedom. It’s not. It’s only freedom to exploit people.

This summer I joined a small group of artists in an empty warehouse on the edge of Lisbon to paint murals on the gen0c!de in Gaza. I created this 30m2 piece to channel my own rage.

"The Light Always Returns," a phrase that's been kicking around in my head these days. I want to keep repeating it until it becomes the truth. #print #comicart #hope
A mongolian horse rider has captured a long cloth and holds it triumphantly while stars fall around them. Above, traditional Mongolian patterns frame the illustration and shagai (sheep ankle bones that portend the future) in the four positions are drawn in circles. Text at the bottom reads "THE LIGHT ALWAYS RETURNS"

I’ve been asked quite a lot over the years about how I remain calm when responding to trolls and bad actors. Some day I’ll do a bigger write up, but one of the biggest things that has helped me a lot is to remember:

“When you’re easily offended, you’re easily manipulated.”
