Truly there is no greater curse than to love books and live in a small apartment.

By the way, I started a new blog comic project with the aim to update at least once a month. The first month is this month so there’s already some comics to read. Mundane sketchbook hourlies. 😸 stefgaines.wordpress.com/category/com...
I simply must share this amazing video clip of @sisterhyde.bsky.social walking us thru her process of picking the GORGEOUS colors and fonts for the upcoming @criterion.bsky.social Kubrick box set She is my new hero:
Svårt skadad men överlevde, och lever än idag. Innan räddningstjänsten ens kom fram var huset övertänt, grannen hade aldrig klarat sig om det inte var för appen och för hjälten som gått kursen. Kunskap om livräddning är lätt att bära, och jag är så otroligt stolt över att även jag gjort skillnad 🥹❤️
Höll en HLR-kurs i en ideell förening för några veckor sen. En av deltagarna hade gått kurs för mig för några år sen, och fick då lära sig om SOS-appen som han direkt laddat ner. Berättade nu att han bara en vecka senare hade fått notifiering om brand i byggnad, sprungit dit och slitit ut grannen.

Fellow comic artists who draw on paper (instead of digitally) - how do you store your original artwork? My current solutions is to draw most of my comics in sketch books and keep A4 - B5 comic pages in binders. But I’d love to see some of your solutions as inspiration. 👀✨
Angiverilagen är nog ett bra sätt att se till att tidigare bekämpade sjukdomar får fotfäste igen helt utan anledning. Inte för att det är invandrare, utan för att man exempelvis kanske inte vaccinerar sina barn med rädsla för att åka ut. Allt är så jävla korkat.
VARJE SERIEBOK ÄR ETT MIRAKEL. Mer om det nedan. Igår sträckläste jag den fantastiska @malinbiller.bsky.social:s senaste seriebok, ”En dag i juli”. En gripande och personlig berättelse om att se de man älskar sakta börja glida ifrån en, och sorgen över en dag förlora dem helt. 🧵‼️
Update months lates: I got the opportunity and drove it 😸
Spooky Ghost Town@stefgaines.bsky.social · 10mo ago> And this is what I drew today. I realized that a carpooling company had a Toyota nearby, so I actually walked to it and started the sketch outside. It’s nice to hope that I might get to drive it someday. >

Det var en stor kulturkrock för mig när jag förstod vad en månadslön kunde innebära i jämförelse med hur min ekonomi varit som serietecknare. @robertaman.bsky.social skriver om serietecknares ekonomi i Expressen, dagens rekommenderade läsning: www.expressen.se/kultur/ar-li...
ROBERT AMAN: Är Liv Strömquist den enda med lön i Sverige

Does this news outrage you? Does it make you want to make zines? Do you want to know how, even without a computer? Here's an easy step-by-step guide by @thorazos.bsky.social. Print out the pages below or purchase copies cheap at the link. www.etsy.com/listing/6936...
Robin Bougie@robinbougie.bsky.social · last mo.They gave US zinester Elizabeth Soto *50 fucking years* in prison for publishing a zine that supports an anti-fascism stance. Prosecutors also used her feminism themed zine, and an anti-AI zine as evidence against her. This is unprecedented.
HAPPY PRIDE 🌈🌈🌈🌈✨✨✨✨BE FREE, READ GAY BOOKS AND COMICS
Remember artists: If someone approaches you for your art, then tells you to lower your price or else they’ll just get AI to do it, they’re lying! They already tried AI. It failed. That’s why they’re coming to you. People always want free (ai) until it sucks, then they try the premium option (you)
you don’t need to look at a calendar. make a terrible comic day is Wednesday
Sällan känner jag mig så svensk som när jag njuter av sill och potatis. Glad midsommar 💐🥰✨ Foto av @vaderhatt.bsky.social
the bot-written spam is being directed at webcomic people now, btw. authors have had this one for a while, but it's our turn now i guess. beware of rambling emails with your comic's name, setting and characters sprinkled in, promising to nebulously "bring your work to a new audience", it is a scam
The Delinquent and the Transfer Student volume 1 is out in English! I adore these characters and the artwork in this series. It's full of fun text stuff, like sound effects, asides, signage, etc. Here's a thread of some lettering details from volume 1!
A tip about my last reblogged update with the Calvin and Hobbes comic: read the comments. Lots of lovely comments from parents about how much they love their kids. ❤️
I know Calvin’s dad is already having a moment, but every terrible “outsource precious and fleeting moments with your children to tech so that you can spend more time on your work” pitch makes me think of that one strip I never really cared about as a kid, but care a lot about as an adult.
