I forgot how tedious, but also DIFFERENT doing animation stuff is. I keep doing too much detail and shit and then going "wait... I didn't need to do that. I SHOULDN'T do that b/c I can't replicate it 20 times." Which means I keep having to go back and erase shit. It's fun, but it's rough. 💀

In the end, this is why I talk politics in my art spaces. I can only apologize about how local the politics often are. But TLDR, talking about what's important to you makes sure your space is only appealing to people you want inside it. As a tattoo artist, people are physically in my space.

One of the best ways to isolate transphobes is just to repeatedly talk positively about trans people, even if you aren’t trans. It uplifts your trans followers *and* makes bigots know they aren’t welcome in spaces you’re in!

In light of some magazines pulling scummy things on creators lately, I’m doing a little thread on short story rights. I don't want anybody getting taken advantage of. Also, if you're new, this stuff can be confusing!

holy shit!! artists!!! you guys!! pinlite.app someone made a pinterest facade site that just strips away all the dumb bullshit and gives you only the images this is AMAAZINNNGGGG. Not to mention the web 1.0 grey and blue link vibe lol

The company Kiru Made has been exploiting artists, and (before we knew that) we helped them with a convention shipment, and they’ve ignored the invoice and reminders for six months! Just shitty behavior all around, be sure to avoid them!

ARTIST PSA! Kirumade is targeting small artists and not paying what they are owed. This video goes into more detail about the shady goings on and lists their sister companies at the end Please share with your art friends! youtu.be/lKFqlS9wO90?...

I told everyone about this last year. Few believed me. If you have a contract with one of the big 4, make sure it says NO AI.

NEW: Staff at HarperCollins, Simon & Schuster, and Hachette told @adamm0rgan.bsky.social AI is infiltrating their workplaces, from generating cover art and back cover copy, to publicity materials, to rejection emails, as execs tell junior staff to "champion" the tech. www.wired.com/story/book-p...
