The basic income scheme for the arts changed my life The guaranteed โ‚ฌ325 a week allowed me to pay myself a living wage to sit at my desk and write my two novels. Now we're asking the Government to retain and expand the scheme

Mรญle buรญochas @irishexaminer.bsky.social for the invite to write about the Basic Income for the Arts pilot scheme. It's been a game changer for many professional artists and recognition of the sectors importance to society and economy
The fight is not over yet

So for now, because of life, I am only doing like portrait/half body commissions.

I will do payment through PayPal. I will be taking a full payment before starting any commission.

We can discuss if you want any additions, but this would increase the final price.

Send me a DM here.

Something I think beginner artist often don't realize is your supposed to practice the fundamentals FOREVER lol. Like its not like a tutorial stage in video game where once you done with it you just move on and never do it again.

When people say "if you have nothing to hide you have nothing to fear." the correct response is:

"I need privacy, not because my actions are questionable, but because your judgement and intentions are."

We need you to infiltrate a notorious pedophile hangout. To make sure they don't suspect you, you will be a real-life pedophile. To do this, we are going to have you become best friends with the main pedophile for years, and then to ensure you don't get in trouble, you need to get elected president.

Panel 1: Two angry guys, one with longer hair and one with a mustache, are standing next to each other. Longer hair guy on the left is gesturing forward with his hand and saying "see, THERE'S the problem with fighting games these days -- all these TOURISTS." The mustache guy just silently has his arms crossed. 

Panel 2: We flip perspective to see that they are looking at a messy-haired person wearing a blue-and-white hoodie like Bridget from Guilty Gear Strive, with a bag that looks like the head of Neko Arc from Melty Blood slung over their shoulder. Longer hair guy asks "HEY DO YOU LIKE FIGHTING GAMES??"

Panel 3: The person replies "no"

Panel 4: Closeup of longer hair guy's face as he looks over at the other guy with a much calmer expression, saying "alright nevermind that one's legit"

Got a new tablet today, so I wanted to try a quick doodle.

Also, Batman #1 comes out tomorrow, and I'm really excited to see what happens there.

an instruction manual with 5 illustrated steps. 

1. navigate to the web site. (A person sitting at a desktop PC)
2. complete the application. (A website with text. the word โ€œAGREEโ€ is visible)
3. draw the marks. (the person is drawing a circle on the ground)
4. say the words. (the person is kneeling and praying inside the drawn circle. Their PC sits facing them.)
5. coalesce. (The personโ€™s eyes and mouth are wide open, they are holding their palms up. They are apparently coalescing.)

The FGC existed long before giant corporations figured they could pick it apart for a quick buck, and it'll be here long after they lose interest in it.

Once, Sesame Street was a lifeline for indie animators. It offered money and incredible freedom to create.

This built an indie animation boom that powered MTV, Nickelodeon and much more. We explore:

Ken: Hey, I'm Ken.

Ian: And I'm Ian. We're both in receipt of the B.I.A. (Basic Income For the Arts)

Ken: Hey, I'm Ken. Ian: And I'm Ian. We're both in receipt of the B.I.A. (Basic Income For the Arts)

Ken: Our last payment is in February 2026. The future of the scheme is uncertain, but we're here to talk about the past and what we've accomplished these past three years.

Ian: Thanks to the B.I.A, I have expanded my skill set and learned 3D sculpting. I bought a 3D printer to make hand painted toys of my own designs.

Ian: Thanks to the B.I.A, I have expanded my skill set and learned 3D sculpting. I bought a 3D printer to make hand painted toys of my own designs.

Ian: I can afford to repair it and spent thousands in the local economy continuing to grow and create.

Ken: As for me, I've been self-publishing small books for a while, but I now have the means to release larger books, which also gave me the confidence to run two different crowdfunding campaigns.

Ken: Without it, and after failing to return to animation, I was going to start a career in I.T. I was in a bad place with no hope for the future, but almost overnight, the B.I.A made my long struggling passion into a real livelihood. Nowadays, I can travel for events, sustain car expenses and socialise without managing my spending. In darker times, I was about to pay all the vet bills for my dying cat.

Hello! I've been one of the lucky few on the BIA these last few years, and in light of the uncertainty of its future and potential for public support, I decided to write out this comic with the help of BIA compatriot @ianfay.bsky.social to share our stories. 1/3

I was honoured that Ken asked me to be a small part of his comic on the impact of the Basic Income for the Arts. Loved getting to see some of his process from rough to final. He even snuck in a Squee!!!

A true hunk.

Industry gets created. Government takes bribe from industry so it can grow unregulated, unsustainably and irresponsibly. You have to live a shittier life to mitigate damage, while the industry remains unregulated.

Aspen trees are growing taller in Yellowstone thanks to wolves that prey on elk, which graze on trees.
