When making a comic for example, you find yourself in deep water a lot. That scene you had an idea for? You don't really know how to block it out, how to make it come to life. So you research, you think, you work. AI bros think just having the idea is the thing. It's barely the entry point.

Autobiography Has Become a Stone in My Shoe - Peony Gent's Meditation on the All-Pervading Presence of Social Media – Broken Frontier In 'Autobiography Has Become a Stone in My Shoe' artist Peony Gent considers self-reflective narrative and the pervasiveness of social media.

Big fan of the graphic poetry strand of comics and most of @peonygent.bsky.social's work fits into this. 'Autobiography Has Become a Stone in My Shoe' was one of my favourite comics of 2024. Review from last November here (link to Peony's store at the bottom). www.brokenfrontier.com/autobiograph...
