Your phone knows what you mean now, which makes your correction look extra like a mind game. πŸ˜‚

Crochet. I sometimes sell dicebags, but otherwise everything takes too long to make to justify selling. So I just get to make some fun stuff, and usually gift it!

Hey Kickstarter Creators, TOUGH LOVE time β€” we all need to be a bit more realistic about pricing vs page counts on the platform.

And PLEASE make sure you’re letting potential backers know how many pages your issue/ GN is so they understand the value you’re offering.

Because, in this economy…

New prints for Dublin Comic Con!

Gambit has been requested *a lot* the last couple of years, and I finally got him done.

The Fantastic Four and Galactus... well, self-explanatory.

Artists should start selling credits instead of commissions, and if the person doesn't like it, they have to pay again and hope it turns out how they imagined it

Oh, phew πŸ˜‚ I *panicked* because I couldn't figure out the tone of your response πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚

I haven't read it but is this a case of "look, gamer people who don't normally read comics, we made you one", where the important part is that it sells and not that it's good?

The new thing on Facebook groups is AI prompts.

They attempt to generate interactions on groups so moderators don't need to do anything.

The end result is soulless posts and mindless responses.

Yes, they must overlap. There can be no breaks.

My niece has her dog over for a couple of days at our house.

She (the dog) lost her shit when I got home. In a good way. So hyper and excited.

It feels nice to be wanted.
