📆 Next Monday 15th June we’re going to be talking about goddamn COMICS LIVELIHOODS. What sources do we earn an income from? What does fair pay mean? What’s the value of IP? Should only commodified art exist? What is the difference between a career and a hobby, or -god help us- a “side hustle”?

Here’s what we discussed last time (or “previously on This Mess Won’t Fix Itself”) courtesy of @petermorey.bsky.social:

We've just made our latest donation (£8) to The Wildlife Trusts from sales of Spheksophobia by @petermorey.bsky.social Pete is donating all royalties - that's £1 per copy - to save wildlife. (Weirdly, there's no charity devoted to wasp wellbeing alone.) Get the #zine for £2 at bit.ly/colossive28

The second roundtable - This Mess Won’t Fix Itself: COMICS LIVELIHOODS - will take place on Monday June 15th at 7pm. Come along, why not? www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/this-mess-...

I don't want to shoot videos I don't want to post tutorials I don't want to show my process I don't want to pour varnish I don't want to turn my canvas I don't want to record my screen I don't want to cultivate parasocial relationships I just want to make pictures and shitpost

The way profit maxxing corpo culture has invaded every form of art through algorithms pushing people into daily posting is really weighing on me lately. Efficiency and regularity of making "content" being prized above all else feels so grim, man.

A great line, was in my head just now when i woke up from a nap. Spooky m.youtube.com/watch?v=qRqW...
