Kahbbie | queer artist & comic maker

Y'know, when I was a younger (in mileage/experience) artist, I thought the hard part about hands would be their joints/articulation.

Naw the hard part is deciding how much hand wrinkles to keep/omit in your art style.

I was just yesterday composing a similar manifesto. My version of point 1 is "you are the only guaranteed audience for the comic, so make a comic you like" and point 4 is "if someone else enjoys your comic, you probably won't ever know."

I've been thinking a lot about comics lately and the craft and calling of making them. So I wrote myself a comics manifesto. Please comment, share, steal, or disregard.

I used to believe Internet Comics was a meritocracy and most stuff would naturally find its audience. I don't think that's true, but I do believe if you can find and cultivate your own unique voice, you stand a much better chance of succeeding (by whatever metric you like).

People need art in their houses. They don’t need Bed Bath and Beyond dentist-office art. They need weird stuff. -Ezra Croft

be less afraid to create clumsy comics. awkward tangents. amateur lettering. weird sequentials and pacing. You Can Just Make it. you dont need to be trapped in a cycle of perfectionism and imposter syndrome when you could have a finished work instead. print that thing out and staple it!!!

This applies to artists too!!

This is why sites like kofi or cara or anywhere don't allow sexual images, it's the credit card's fault, so sign this if you either draw NSFW, or know anyone who does
