I can’t explain how big of a deal it is when someone of that generation of comics writers calls a peer out like waid did there
LOL Bro taking your AI renders into illustrator and running it through Livetrace then claiming it's a sketch is INSANE. A for originality at least
pls if ur not already following kira or supporting their patreon for behind the scenes peeks do it!! look at this!!! 👁️👄👁️ i love these boys so much & i know nothing about them, that is SO POWERFUL
If I have to tell people 1 more time to credit the illustrator when talking about a graphic novel...STOP only tagging me when you talk about Frizzy!! I didn't fart the illustrations out, they didn't materialize magically! A very hardworking person is behind that art & Rose deserves acknowledgement!!
Would be super nice if creators didn't have to spend all this time and energy and grief weighing the reliability and the ethical decisions of the services upon which we rely to, you know, live.
re: my social media 'presence', X threatening to give it to us etc. I'm dangerously close to going 'promo only' as I re-evaluate my comics career goals. I am just very tired! Find me here: @jjlopez.bsky.social Twitter? @heyjjlopez Threads? @heyjjlopez Socials have become exhausting. Love y'all!
Latine creators: start reaching out to local advocacy groups NOW about how you can help kids see Blue Beetle. Spent my morning talking to barrio outreach groups and they are 100% ready and willing, but need help! Elevate your people!
Cannot overstate how the loss of Twitter did damage to discoverability. Even if you never used it, if you read about a Kickstarter on a big-name website, *they* likely discovered that small niche project via Twitter.
