Hey, do me a favor and do an internet search for "free fridge" and your town's name. And then go drop some stuff off when you have some food you're not gonna eat. Got some takeout with an extra wonton soup you're not gonna eat? Take it to the free fridge. Someone needs it. Seriously.

very thorough and helpful statement, be sure to read the linked info. i love silver sprocket and i have loved working with them over the years, and i hope to be able to continue to in the future once these matters are resolved- standing fully in solidarity with the co-op and other artists 🫡

Creators at Silver Sprocket have released a public statement regarding longstanding concerns with the business practices of the company which alleges issues around payment of royalties, poor treatment of staff, and lack of professionalism.

I am on the hunt for two artists to recommend for the two scripts I've just been contracted for through Scholastic, soooo...if you are a cartoonist who finds a sweet older midgrade romcom set in New England in the fall totes your cup of hot apple tea..MESSAGE ME. (before end of July)

it is actually possible to draw something and go "well. I'm pretty displeased with how that turned out." and not have that collapse your entire sense of self worth. it's possible to go "oh well haha" and then enjoy the rest of your day. and, get this: you can still make good art that way
