For those following me from Tapas lists, hello!! I have 3 comics on Tapas: Ultramarine Weather, Happiness Theory, and Glen Hollow. I have contracts for all three but only one isnt exclusive. I'm hoping to get my IP back so I can continue and print them 😭 I hope you can enjoy them!
Kan 💛🖤 Comms OPEN

Using Tapas death as an excuse to finally invest in my own website for my comics after 17 years of self publishing
For comic makers affected by the Tapas shutdown--
Going to plug my website guide once again: blog.itsnero.com/webguide/ This will get you online with a website in an afternoon. It's not the fanciest or most modern way to do it, but it's code that has worked for decades. Get yourself a site ASAP and figure out what else you need to do later.
When you say 'all erotica is bad, no exceptions' you inevitably end up down the rabbit hole of conservatism where LGBT folks, queer culture and anything deemed 'strange' sexually is renounced and eventually banned through legal means.
With the news of the Tapas shutdown looming, just wanted to create a starter pack full of Tapas creators so you can keep up with them whereever their work lands next. Check them out! Also, if you're affected by the shutdown, comment and I'll add you to the starter pack! go.bsky.app/RYenyUa
Im very sad and ruminating over having no control of a situation is something i struggle with a lot so having no answers on my comics rn is hard! I love my comics a lot! I worked very hard on them! But Im gonna use this opportunity to follow more creators on this site and start posting more-
Tapas is shutting down and yknow what? That sucks. It sucks what they turned into when bought out and it sucks that now I gotta figure out if they still own my IPs and what to do from here but honestly? Not surprised and a lil relieved. They stopped paying me or promoting me ages ago. I want my shit
Its been over a week and Im still not over the experience of meeting Taz twice and him holding my hand and giving him my Sanji art kya...

vertigo has been kicking my ass lately and its making it VERY hard to do anything for enough time to actually get it done!!! im frustrated 🥲
Midwest was ok, I made a good profit but honestly the 9+ hours drive is no longer worth it to me, so I won't be returning to chicago unless I get into something big like acen or c2e2. I just...cannot travel that long anymore without a couple thousand in pure profit when local cons do WAY better.
I feel like a lot of artist alley complaints would be solved if we all agreed to stop doing self-serve tables. I would stop having people try to buy/unhook display copies and non-menu tables would have less stolen product. Win-win.
Gonna be in Columbus this weekend for Animate :3 I'm so tired but I will try to be engaging lol
People hate this lil fella and yknow what? It makes me love em more

Thinking of making something just to produce "content" to feed the algorithm is exactly why people get burnt out. If you're not making art for yourself first, why are you hurting yourself?
My crankiest old man take is that referring to all art/entertainment/journalism/criticism/comedy/advertising as “content” helped pave the way for broad-ish acceptance of AI slop.
Sometimes I think when I "fixed" my bipolar, I also deleted my drive and passion for drawing constantly and I wonder if i should stop taking my medicine. And then im like, but it was hell?? no thanks?
