I'm disappointed seeing @amlibraryassoc.bsky.social promoting a pro-Ai book.
For all the talk of book bans, this is incredibly short sighted on how generative Ai negatively impacts writers, artists, musicians, and people in general.
We should demand better from the ALA.

Exciting to see Cartoonist Kayfabe hit 100k on Youtube! 🎉
This channel is one of the greatest resources for comic readers and makers. A rich collection of comics' history and knowledge unlike any other.
It is bitter sweet, but very happy it finally happened. 🥲

Just as a heads up that Brooklyn, NY, based printer @cartpress.bsky.social, operated by @shanzine.bsky.social and @junimadii.bsky.social, has been added to The Really Huge Comic Book Printer Guide under the "Riso" tab.
The list is always growing with more services to bring your books to life! 📚🖨️✨

I find it hard to believe Adobe would understand why "Ai" is bad branding for the Illustrator logo.
So here is my pitch for a better logo.

I've been beyond fortunate enough to be able to collaborate and work with Kyle Murdock over the last couple of years.
Not only is he an amazing client who's a blast to work with, but also a great friend who makes every project we do a lot of fun and reminding me why I love what I do so much!

Not a fan of Ai but still want to use Pinterest for reference?
Good news! You can turn of those stupid Ai settings on Pinterest after all to get rid of the slop.
That said, it does say a lot that Pinterest auto-opts you into Ai gimmicks. Again, we need new regulations on Ai and data.

To the diehard old school manga heads out there, has anyone ever seen VIZ-IN News Magazine Volume 1, Issue #2 from 1988? Does anyone still have it?
These are the covers for Volume 1, Issues #1, #3, #4, and #5. I'm on the hunt for Volume 1, Issue #2 and could use some help tracking an issue down.

Speaking of buttons, this button has become one of my favorites.

When I go to comic events, I usually bring a tote with pins and buttons on it. Trouble is, sometimes, these pins and buttons fall off. This button was no exception. 📌🧷😱
Thank goodness for industrial grade epoxy adhesive. I may end up using it on all my buttons and pins now. 🛠🧰
