QVC is selling Pretty Hate Machine on Vinyl and I feel old and mainstream

Kaos is not the goofy lil romp I expected

A reminder we’re still available for cover work! We’re chill, fast and way more stylistically flexible than even this selection suggests

To be clear, if you are a person with 4 million dollars to spend on a comic project and you invest that money in a system that takes work away from artists and disincentivizes people from pursuing art professionally rather than in artists to make your comic, YOU are the one gatekeeping art.

I know Ted knows this but for folks who don't know the comics industry An advance of $100k would be absolutely life-changingly bonkers for roughly 99% of this industry. Compared to other industries it isn't that huge but that's an amount of money most folks could never hope to see from a project

Today is the 60th day since I applied for my license and it is looking like I’m still not getting it. *~SIGH~*

Sharing from a post @kharyrandolph.bsky.social did on FB that I thought could benefit being here too (Khary, if you see this and want me to delete it because you want to post it here yourself or just want to keep control of this convo on your FB, just say the word)

To be clear, I was one of a number of artists that had meetings with Colin a few months ago. He told me broadly what his AI platform was about. He mentioned that it was about removing "gatekeepers" and how he wanted to benefit people from underserved walks of life. I told him that while I was a fan of his, I couldn't support this because those "gatekeepers" were people like me who had put our blood, sweat and tears into our craft. Hard work, a pencil, and paper is all you need to make comics. I let him that his product was going to hurt us longterm.

So if anyone is asking whether Colin Kaepernick is aware of the misgivings artists have with AI, please believe that he has been made aware. And I know for a fact that I'm not the only one who did so.

Fun story! The other day I was at a light waiting to make a u turn toward my house. Behind me a giant purple truck started to roll through me instead of waiting for me to get moving. I drive a manual so it takes a second for me to move.
