My biggest writing peeve is spending ages writing something and it not turning out to be a work of genius adored by everyone. Very annoying. 😤😤😤
and now for something free and easy: writing pet peeves! Nothing big, nothing problematic, just little irritants you personally hate

agreed and i think this applies to all artmaking as well. newer artists and especially aspiring board artists occasionally ask me for advice and one of my first and most emphatic points is to go far, far outsidr cartoons when intaking art. no media or concept is irrelevant
Read something other than comics before you try to make comics.
Don’t get me wrong, read a SHITLOAD of comics. But also read prose fiction, non-fiction, biographies, textbooks, encyclopedias, and other kinds of books.
Comics inspired only by other comics are not good comics.

Aspiration is the answer. Not just “we’re not the bad guys.”
We need something more meaningful than that. I want a future worth fighting for. They have no vision. We do. Lean into our strengths and knock them out. 👊🏽

I posted this over the weekend. I'm really happy with what we've pulled together, as a one-stop introduction to the book, plus directions of where to buy it. It's a little hype magazine. Includes some stuff regulars won't have seen before too. Go nose at it, pass around, etc.
The Power Fantasy's first trade starts appearing in shops next week, and the orders for issue 6 are on Monday 27th. The team and I have pulled together this epic Primer magazine to be a central place to introduce you to the book, including links to buy it. Have a nose!

not just the movies, but just going out by yourself in general can be so freeing and you learn about yourself too.
self love is important, self love is treating yourself like a friend, and treating yourself like a friend includes going out to events, activities, places, and having fun.

Going to the movies by yourself is one of life’s hidden pleasures. Just you and a large popcorn and some sour patch kids and all of your big goblin energy alone in the dark where nobody can see your shame. Priceless.
