I did learn that her favorite ice cream was Cookies n’ Cream. She thought the golden Oreo pointed out as something new to try was a bit much. I tried.

I can’t imagine it’s going well one on one. One woman approached me while I was in line getting ice cream within kids. Didn’t have any points to sway for the repeal apart. The impression I got was that they see the reasons as so self-evident there is no need to persuade.

Hang in there, struggling artists

Instructions for making an 8 page zine.

The tables are littered with prompts and helpful guides along with all the supplies anyone could need.

Last night it was packed with all type of zinesters and set by Chubby Bird (with a zine of their lyrics so we could follow along).

Zingo board of zine prompts.

Chubby Bird band zine with all their sweet lyrics so you could follow along with their live show.

More zine fun at the Seed Lab (across from the Ancborage Museum) today from 10 to 5. Classes all day.

A starter pack!

Hopefully she can bring her craft to the governor’s race. This election year needs real time parody songs, preferably from the candidates themselves.

I was hoping for her to show up and do her song. It was a fun time without, but it could have been amazing

New Class/Zine Workshop as part of @anczines Zine Thing Fling Ding on October 4th at 10 am at the SeedLab, downtown across from the Anchorage Museum. All-Ages, All-abilities, All Free. Taking inspiration from Blind Boxes, Japanese Gachapon vending machines and other bits of random delight, we’ll be making comics using characters randomly drawn from prompts using scenarios drawn from the ‘Cauldron of Doom’, then making tiny zines. Never made comics? Don’t have any ideas? This will be the perfect low-risk, high-reward comics hangout session on a Saturday morning. Kids, families and everyone else welcome.

Embracing the chaos. Making comics.

I absolutely love it whenever Stardust picks somebody up.

was gonna mic-drop there but actually i just thought:
34) finishing creative projects is a skill in and of itself. if you want to be able to finish large, complex projects, you have to _practice finishing things_. which usually means doing smaller projects.

My wife has wonderful memories of going to Storybook Glenn in Aberdeen Scotland in the 80s.

Every picture of every character she has shown me looks like this.

You'll probably have to blow it up or look at this on a big screen, but here is how anyone can make a little 8 page zine that they can use to write a story, write about their favorite things, a personal experience or make a mini comic. Fold some paper and get your thoughts out there!!

Thankfully, I just rooted around and found some samples from a seminar years ago that I forgot about. I forgot how nice they are in the hand. (And they still work!)

Colors are hard for me so I was thinking of a core set of 4-six colors and getting some outliners, BigOnes and TwinOnes, then I can build from there.

Nice. That’s what I do digitally, so maybe I need to look back and see what my go-to colors are.

Does anyone have experience with #Neuland markers? I'm considering finally getting a set for graphic recording because the obscure ones I was using (Sakura Permapaque)are a pain to source. I was wondering what color/marker combinations folks use? The options are dizzying.

This is why it's so important to work on projects that you are passionate about, especially starting out. You're not going to be making a living, so you might as well be not making a living doing something you love that will shape the direction of your career instead of grasping at crummy gigs.

Go behind the scenes of the multiple Eisner Award-winning comic series 'Superman’s Pal Jimmy Olsen'. In this in-depth conversation, writer Matt Fraction and artist Steve Lieber share how the series… Fraction & Lieber Talk Jimmy Olsen

Superman’s Pal Jimmy Olsen won two Eisners for good reason—Matt Fraction & @stevelieberart.bsky.social made a comic that’s smart, hilarious, and totally unique.

I got to sit down with both of them to talk about how it came together. New Helioscope video here:

On "talent" as it relates to the arts:
At a talent show, people break boards, they breakdance, they break into song. Some of the talents showcased require formal intention and lots of work. Some simply require a propensity and enthusiasm. 1/

i just did a workshop with kids about making comics. emphasized that ANYONE can make comics. you don't have to be a "good" artist. you find a story that matches your art style and you do it and it's awesome. and a kid who NEVER PARTICIPATES got out from under a desk and PARTICIPATED and had a blast.

In conclusion: just let kids draw, you contemptible clowns.

The ParkStrippers!

Final thing, if your political cause attempts to interrupt my choice between a scoop of “Moonbeam Ice Cream” and “7 layer bar Dulce De Leche”, you’ve already lost me.

Like RCV, maybe split scoops are the only way forward to the best option for me and Ak.
