Don't know who will care, but my 2 cents on my what I never do at craft or artist alley tables:

1. No bins
2. No "wall of art" (Every print ever on a wall display)
3. No more than one of each on display

After spending 43 years in prison for a crime he didn't commit, evidence hidden by the prosecution reversed his conviction. Rather than finally enjoying freedom, ICE abducted him for deportation

Depraved.

The resistance fought valiantly to push back the fascist forces, risking arrest & harm. The fascists tried beating them, tear gassing, and water cannons to push them back. The resistance was armed with only signs, flags, and the strength of their bravery. #3E #GeorgiaProtests

Daughter of Robin Williams, Zelda Williams 💔
zeldawilliams 20m From Create Mode •• Please, just stop sending me AI videos of Dad. Stop believing I wanna see it or that I'll understand, I don't and I won't. If you're just trying to troll me, I've seen way worse, i'll restrict and move on. But please, if you've got any decency, just stop doing this to him and to me, to everyone even, full stop. It's dumb, it's a waste of time and energy, and believe me, it's NOT what he'd want. To watch the legacies of real people be condensed down to 'this vaguely looks and sounds like them so that's enough, , just so other people can churn out horrible TikTok slop puppeteering them is maddening. You're not making art, you're making disgusting, over-processed hotdogs out of the lives of human beings, out of the history of art and music, and then shoving them down someone else's throat hoping they'll give you a little thumbs up and like it. Gross. And for the love of EVERYTHING, stop calling it 'the future. Al is just badly recycling and regurgitating the past to be reconsumed. You are taking in the Human Centipede of content, and from the very very end of the line, all while the folks at the front laugh and laugh, consume and consume.

There’s a large part of the creative process that involves hours or days of experimentation. Unfortunately, when experimentation leads nowhere, it feels like you wasted a lot of time. The hard part is reminding yourself that you learned what DIDN’T work, and that’s very important.

HO YEAH! It's Mistress "Paddelin'" Peggy Hill!

Straight from Arlen, TX, this goddess is here to punish those who don't obey her guidance. Just be glad she goes by "Paddelin'" instead.

Mistress Paddelin' Peggy Hill!

Finished these inks last night.

I actually messed up a few times, and even forgot the thumb, so I decided to use a white paint marker to make corrections. I haven't done that before, so this was a nice change.

Let's Go, Phillies!

I had this idea of a “screaming baseball” graphic, but with the Phillie Phanatic. I decided to go for a very 90's feel for it, too.

Enjoy!

Thrilled to share these images. The logo was made for fun, along with the shirt. A nun chewing and blowing bubble gum? Sure!

"Fantasy, including cat ears and fairies."

They included that in some of the worst of the worst.

So credit card companies are coming up with some really dumb rules.

Woke up to quite the update on this. I had been in contact with Payment Cloud about getting their service and they waited until now to hit me with the image below. Again, stringing me along instead of being upfront. They had seen my website multiple times before this.

Oh, hey.

Visa and Mastercard now say you can't pay for WoW. Magic the Gathering. FFXIV. DnD. Lord of the Rings. Because they're all "adult" content against their ToS just for being "fantasy".

Let that sink in.

Spread this like wildfire and have people in those circles call them. No quarter.

Just a reminder, this is why people are so concerned about Visa, Mastercard, PayPal, and Stripe not allowing the purchase of pornographic games

It's not about the porn and never had been. It's the stepping stone to what *they* deem obscene, which is the rights of LGBTQIA+ people

Same during my call- the wording I used was “non-explicit, legal, non-adult LGBT content”, and I got back the response that “yes, stripe is blocking this. We’re a private company, we make our own rules about it.” Was hung up on when I asked why.

A comic about making comics (the alt text took longer to write than the comic did to draw * I drew this a few years ago)
A 14 panel comic, a top tier of five panels shows a drawing of me, and in each of the subsequent panels the drawing of me gets simpler and simpler, with a cartoony drawing, a crude cartoon, then a stick man, then a smily face then a simple blob. Each time I'm saying "Hi" Tier two, panel one, the smiley face is sad and saying "PJ! I can't draw!" "How can I make comics" Panel 2, me as a simple cartoon "Oh that's ok, comics work..." panel 3, me as a very crudely drawn figiure my head tilted at a funny angle and Im saying "No matter your skill level" Panel 4 more simplistic drawing of me holding a ruler "As long as you can (sorta) draw a straight line " "(I use a ruler)" Panel 5 even more simple drawing "And a bubble" next (final) tier Panel 1 A simple circle with two dots for eyes and a small line for a mouth and a balloon coming from his mouth saying "People can be quite forgiving about the artwork" Panel 2 the round simple face meets a spikey simple face, spikey says "I'm not - I like GOOD artwork" me - "Oh" Panel 3 me (still a smiley face, but straight line mouth ) I have two stick arms raised up with little stick fingers and I'm saying "...Sorry..." Spike says "Bah" Panel 4 (last panel) Me, slightly better drawn (but only just) "OK - not everyone is quite forgiving about art" "BUT I AM" "Good luck!"

Please don't stop or pause calling payment processors! All the work will be for nothing if we don't maintain the call volume.

And yes: calls, not emails. Emails can be dismissed, but calls cost them time and money.

Please do it for adult workers and for your own rights to use your money freely!
