Artist Crazy Loves Color

I guess I shouldn’t be surprised that they’re using AI ripoffs of my comics to push the agenda that politics don’t matter and we’re helpless to enact social change.

It seems people are often afraid of liking their own art work due to the worry of being perceived as egotistical or conceited, but you can still love your work and have a huge driving force behind that acting as a love for learning and improving. You can be proud and seek joy while you grow.

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

So 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.

There's a lot of excellent writing about why KOSA and the KIDS Act are so harmful. @youthrights.bsky.social's How the KOSA and KIDS Acts will Harm Vulnerable Teenagers, just published today, loos at how these so-called "kids safety" bills actually harm teens. www.youthrights.org/how-the-kosa...

How the KOSA and KIDS Acts will Harm Vulnerable Teenagers

KOSA & the KIDS Act harm vulnerable teenagers by cutting them off from online communities & support systems, & could be used to censor LGBTQ content for minors.

Please follow the instructions to contact your representative and tell them to vote NO on the KIDS Act. The US House will vote on it at 6:30 PM on Monday. There is no time to waste. The free internet is at stake. See replies for how to look up your representative.

With digital art, find the software and equipment that works best for you. Comfort and ease of knowing what you're working with works wonders in the art process. For traditional sketching, that's entirely for you, go ham.

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!)

Every year for Pride, I repost Hue. I made him to send love and comfort to those who feel Pride isn’t for them because they aren’t out. You matter, you are valid, and it’s ok if you aren’t ready yet. Coming out is not a requirement for being part of this community. Happy Pride 🌈
