I think a lot of ppl underestimate how much their dollar actually helps artists, writers, journalists etc. And I think a lot of people overestimate how following translates to income. I don't have a 1$ tier so it is hard to convert, but about 1% of my following is actual subscribers.

people get intimidated by the social belief of "supporting the arts" as like donating $5,000,000 for a new wing at a museum or hosting some gala it's not. 10% of our audience throwing us $1.00 a month would literally be *life-changing* money most artists are in the same boat.

it's insane to me how any notion of 'art' comics constantly has to apologize for itself. 'haha, i don't just like this stuff, i like mark gruenwald too' or 'yes, sure, john romita is a great storyteller, i just think ___ tells stories in a different way'. other side of comics makes ZERO apologies.

I remember 9th grade, opening up my english textbook and finding 10 pages of Understanding Comics. Seeing comics taken seriously was such an important moment for me. Very excited to see this trend. #Cartooning #Art #traditionalArt #ink #comics #comicArt #ScottMcCloud

Inktober Day 5: Deer. Catching up on posting my Inktober drawings on here. This was one of my favorites, inspired by 20th century modern art. I think it might work even better in color, so I'm hoping to paint it at some point. #Art #Drawing #traditionalart #Inktober

Just realized I haven't been posting my Inktober drawings on here. Here's the first three days. #Inktober #Drawing #Traditionalart

Why is Chicago a GREAT town for comics creators? Concordia University (IL) student reporter Eric Perry asked me and (separately) Jazz musician Joe Clark, who’s done some comics writing on the side. A great tribute to our community in this time of travail. spectator.cuchicago.edu/7046/showcas...

What Pulls Comics Writers and Artists to Chicago?

Chicago’s best-known nickname is The Second City. The moniker was coined by A.J. Liebling, a writer for The New Yorker magazine, who used the nickname to put down Chicago. However, if there is one are...

erm?! the way this is actually so cute?

I, for one, love AI art. It rules that we now have an objective way to see who has a soul or not.

Made a risograph for a Stag and his Reflection- Will be available at my table at the Reed Zine Fest this weekend!

When I made this piece a month ago, I hated it. Now, I'm not sure why. The proportions are a bit off, but the color palette and the shading on the hair is solid. It's odd to be so close to something that it's all that you can see and still not truly see it. #CalebEglandArt #DigitalArt #Art #Drawing

This last-minute reprieve is amazing news and the happy ending none of us dared to hope for, but at the same time, it will never NOT blow my mind that Warner Brothers is happy to fob off it’s FLAGSHIP, UNIVERSALLY BELOVED IP to a scrappy little indie distribution company.

Still experimenting with halftones. I think maybe adding them in sooner will help. Not sure. Maybe I need to abandon the softer textures and try for something toothier? Time will tell. #CalebEglandArt #Art #Artist #Drawing #sketch

Is it ethical? Well, no. Definitely not. But what about the more pertinent question: is it legal? Also no.

When Meta started developing its flagship AI model, employees faced an ethical question, Alex Reisner writes. The program would need to be trained on a huge amount of high-quality writing to be competitive with products such as ChatGPT. Should they just pirate it? Read more: theatln.tc/1P6gPreS

Trying out some halftones on this sketch. Really interested with how this turned out. I'll have to do some more experimenting with halftones in the future. #Art #Sketch #Illustration #CalebEglandArt

Finally got around to finishing a sketch from a week ago. Really liked how this one turned out. Not sure if I would use the same brushes again. Perhaps the thrill of triumphing over bad brushes will pull me in once again. #Art #Illustration #sketch #CalebEglandArt
