Got reached out and I'm going to cry. You have no idea how much this means to hear. Him and Jim Davis are the reasons why I'm a cartoonist today. My heart is so full.

The advice "Don't make your first project a overambitious sprawling epic" is good. The problem is that I don't think people can really learn that lesson before they ignore the advice and just do it anyways. Sometimes you have to throw the baby into the pool to teach it how to swim.

Twitch and Amazon are apparently planning to use streams to train Generative AI. Multiple sources tell me it will be announced in the coming months, despite some internal friction against it. Creators may be able to opt out of some training data.

Want to be fair so I’ll wait till I watch 2 or 3 minutes on Disney+ next year before I conclude it sucks, but this is easily the worst tag line ever. He was Scrooge when he was born THEN he was named Ebeneezer, so how is it possible that before he was Scrooge he was Ebeneezer, you IP-grubbing twats.

My character for a friend's upcoming campaign - Pala, a faun druid from a secluded forest whose love for all life is boundless. They're all too eager to learn what wonders the outside world holds, but might be a bit unprepared for some of the realities. #art #oc

A gangly faun character, a little more antelope-like than goat-like, beaming with enthusiasm (and displaying chipped buck teeth in the process). They have bushy long red hair, the sidelocks turned into long braids, and wear a long green-and-blue tasseled cape. The staff they clutch is a long, gnarled tree branch, with shelf fungi growing on one corner, a woodpecker poking out of a hole in the next, and a rhinoceros beetle clinging on at the end.

You guys are beautiful, unique, and stronger than you think. I hope you realize how much of a difference you make by just talking to somebody. A friend, your family member, even a stranger. Some people are more reserved, and that's okay, it is just what makes people interesting. I'm glad you exist.
