I was inking comic pages on the floor in the dark last time I moved, because the writer turned in the last script a month late. Sorry for all the work I turned down but I learned from that experience, haha.
“Artificial intelligence labs are in a new arms race to buy up millions of rare books, slicing them open, scanning the pages and pulping the remains — sparking concerns that the last remaining copies of out-of-print texts are being destroyed on an industrial scale.”

I never in a million years thought we would win the Eisner Award. I didn't even bother going to SDCC because I didn't have the money to spend just to go and lose. BUT. If I HAD gone and we DID win, I had prepared a little speech. Best Short Story: Blood Harvest @fantagraphics.bsky.social
Got the lime to print, but you'll have to take my word for it because I only have video evidence of this
some of you need more shame. shame is hot. feel dirty and disgusting. this isn't fucking therapy. read a book that makes you puke.
Originally designed this for Mahogany, Kelly Green, and Bubblegum inks. Then realized I can do it all in two: Bright Red overprinting Kelly Green ink to get some browns, Bright Red tones for the daisy blush 🪿🌼 Excited to mess around in the studio more now, hope y'all like pastoral shit

my friends not only putting out their best eps yet talking Fire Punch, but also being one of the very few places you can go to hear people who actually get it and understand that manga
Blaident@blaident.bsky.social · 4w agoWe've finished our first unit! They said it couldn't be done but here we are! We're talking all about the ending of one of the best manga ever (by my reckoning at least)! We're talking The Face, we're talking bad life choices, and we're talking about our next unit! Listen now!
From a twink in his 20s to his jacked 50s, he still makes the outfit look good. Takanori Nishikawa still has it. Good time.

detouring from Ryoko Yamagishi's Hi Izuru Tokoro no Tenshi to read....some Ryoko Yamagishi's horror shorts This stuff is so elegant -- deeply modern feeling nightmares both interior and distanced, defined less by the dark and more by her overwhelming use of white. She fast-tracking to GOAT status

Wacom doing planned obsolescence with a "Thank you for your support" on their staggeringly overpriced products wasn't on my bingo card but I am UNSURPRISED. If you too are in this position, allow me to draw your attention to what's probably your best solution: opentabletdriver.net
Otterboxed Arts@otterboxedarts.bsky.social · 2mo agoSo Wacom finally decided to pull the plug on my Cintiq 13HD. Kind of a barbaric move but I am wondering if anyone knows of a way to ensure continued support, either through a plugin or something of a similar vein. Any input would be appreciated.
Also, stoked to see Adolescence of Utena in theater today! It's gonna be so huge and beautiful 🏎️⚔️🌹
