Who is Sheilah Beckett? Only one of the best mid century storybook illustrators, who had an incredibly long and storied career. And I mean *long*— she was still creating art at age 100, when she died literally at her computer, drawing.

There should be a STAR TREK: TRANSPORTER CHIEF SIMULATOR game where you just try and use the sliders to prevent evil twinning, Tuvixing, "what we got back... didn't live long" accidents, etc. Harder than it looks!

Every artist I know is really struggling right now. Financially, emotionally, their confidence, in general.

If you like an artist's work, support them any way you can. Buying their stuff or subscribing to their Patreon is great, but words of encouragement are also incredibly helpful.

I made some digital hand lettering to remind you that medical science is real, antidepressants save lives, and your mental health matters. 💊🩷💜

They're gonna try to implement Project 2025 as fast as they can. These comics will help you understand some of the terrible policies they'll push. Don't read this to SCARE yourself. Read this to figure out what things you're going to help DEFEND.

Be prepared for it to take a long time, if ever.

The majority of folks in Comics have secondary jobs (writing or otherwise) or have a spouse that has the primary income. It's an industry that doesn't pay well and is difficult to find success in.

Which isn't fun advice, but it's the reality.
what is your advice to someone looking to make a living off of creating comics?
