I'm glad people are talking lots about indie conventions! Not surprised to see many people not understand the point of my original post (this isnt a dig on fanart or your set up) but talking about SHOWS not understanding proper curation. Why are we seeing fanart print walls at an indie comics show?

So... can we talk about this

FINALLY I'M ON TIME FOR A SPYRO COMMUNITY DAY AAAAA I love this purple dragon so much ya'll i can't wait for his new game 💜💜💜 #spyrocommunityday #spyro #spyroarealmbeyond #art

As a new Harry Potter trailer makes the rounds, it bears repeating that there’s no way to watch this show without supporting J.K. Rowling’s bigotry and the structural violence she’s inflicting on the trans community.

There is no ethical consumption of HBO’s Harry Potter series

You can’t without supporting Rowling’s transphobic bigotry.

A little edit, for me and anyone else who needs it

Hey so as a heads up. This. Is. All. Commissions. PayPal is DREADFUL to work with. Do not mention the word. Do not censor the word. Please just pay the invoice. If you do the artist you commissioned WILL get in trouble.

STOP ADDING COMMENTS IN PAYPAL STATING ANYTHING THAT WHAT YOUR PAYING FOR IS A COMMISSIONS ESPECIALLY A NSFW COMMISSION!!! THESE FUCKING PROCESSORS WON'T STOP PUTTING THIER OWN DISLIKES AND MORALS ON WHAT WE FUCMING BUY!!! Spread the Word!!!!

"You have to draw every day if you want to make it" is tired, burnout-inducing, elitist advice and if I hear it again Im going to start giving out demerits. Draw when you can, when you have motivation, and if your intent is to improve always try to attach one goal to your drawing to focus on.

What’s a thing from your area of expertise (or special interest) that you think it would behoove everyone else to know?

Seriously, DON’T draw every day. That’s how I developed a repetitive strain injury and had to take an extended break from drawing for months while it healed. That was over a decade ago and it STILL gives me trouble if I draw for a few hours without taking a break. Please, please take breaks 😭

They should invent a bluesky that doesn’t compress my art that is, and I cannot stress this enough, less than 1 MB in file size, to hell regardless of actual file dimensions so I don’t have to save a second version of everything I draw

I do think not enough people know this - everything after a question mark in a URL is garbage. You can delete it all and the URL still works fine. Strip that shit out when sharing anything.

I saw an infographic a couple years ago about how to remove source identifiers from links and why it's important, but I can't find it again and too many people I know are sending me links with them so here's an infographic straight from the oven

The USS Constitution is neat and all, but my favorite boat at the Charlestown Navy Yard is this little guy (which I've learned is the smallest active duty vessel and is called the "Boomin' Beaver" because it was originally developed to herd logs for the timber industry)

hating your art is not a virtue, it's a sign of burn out or mental illness. the same way your muscles ache if you exercise too much or your stomach hurts if you're starving. learn to identify it as a sign you're pushing too hard or expecting too much of yourself somehow and check in with yourself.

Hey artists, let's share some helpful things in the community :) 🎨 What's one tip or trick you would give a new artist in your chosen medium? (Or just in general!)
