man, there's an irony in the AI discourse that will make absolutely everyone angry, which is that the people who are likeliest to use these tools effectively are not devs or programmers, they're writers and artists with good read/write communication and perception skills.

Pay for the kids to get comic making lessons!

Hire some comic artists and writers to come teach the kids!

I took a paneling class in college that changed my art forever, helping me storyboard better.

This will just stunt growth. It's an illusion pf opportunity.

So one of the artists I used to work for did some freelance work for Marvel and they go out of their way to fuck over less well known artists and writers.

The biggest difference between writers and artists is that writers are all alcoholics and artist are all addicted to porn.

I feel like a lot of artists and writers saw this coming and we didn't listen

Neal Adams was vilified for YEARS due to constantly speaking up for artists and writers to get full health coverage and fought to have artists get their work back from these guys.
Ah. I see people are learning about how the Superhero-Industrial Complex actually works.

Might I recommend a book that tells you how we got to this terrible state of affairs?

Pneumonia has hit me hard. Over the past two months, I've lost almost $20k of work, and by the time we get to January, I'll only have three projects left.
Editors/writers/artists/publishers: if you're staffing new projects over the coming months, PLEASE keep me in mind as your letterer 🙏

AI bros basically sat here for years mocking artists and writers, gleefully laughing at the fact we might go homeless and starving. Theres entire reddit threads showing them doing this.

And they really act so oppressed when they're shunned from society.

• They’re stuffing in microtransactions.
• They’re cutting dev teams while padding executive bonuses.

If you sell worse product, you get worse revenue. That’s not mysterious. Replacing writers and artists with AI isn’t saving them — it’s hurting them.

Oh, wow, this looks great! These types of books are absolute treasure troves for artists (and writers). Very excited for this one (look through the thread for interiors).
Carved in Stone is officially out!

In this comprehensive setting guide you'll be able to see, touch, taste, hear and smell your way through everything that modern-day scholars currently know of the enigmatic culture of the Picts, from the perspective of someone living in the late 7th Century.

you're a much braver man than me tbh, I'd rather delete my account than try to tell the AI crowd that writers and artists have value

30 years later, of course, you get an attempted fascist coup in Japan lead by Nobel Prize nominee Yukio Mishima, one of the most famous writers and artists of his time.

Thank you, Auto Recovery! I am forever in your debt.

Writers, artists, and all other creatives: remember to save your work. Sometimes we don’t get this lucky. Sometimes Auto Recovery sleeps on the job. 😴
