As holiday shopping season approaches, I'd like to remind everyone to shop small/local when you can. All of the large retailers are owned by rich dickheads—who sell garbage—while your local shops and artists make a fraction of a fraction of a fraction of that but have 1000x the heart

Not being able to make a living just from your art doesn't make you a failure as an artist, it just means you're a totally normal working artist.

Very, very few comic book creators can survive on just the money they make from comics. It is an inherently unstable job and it is only getting worse as time goes on. Don't ever be embarrassed or ashamed of needing another job so that you can keep making comics.

I am about to sell out of Mr. Beast. Please come free me from Jimmy.

We're still going at the Over the Garden Wall event at Cafe Requiem!

Your art isn’t bad just because it’s not selling right now.

We’re in a recession and people don’t know when they’re gonna eat next, nobody can afford fun things because the economy is crumbling. It’s going to be hard a while.

LinkedIn should just say they're letting anyone on the internet impersonate their users.

I'm fairly sure recruiters don't want to wade through armies of seemingly-perfect but totally inexperienced applicants for every job. But again, LinkedIn is making it easy to impersonate their users.

Goofy ass phone typos in each post, but you get it.

Anyways, treat other humans with basic respect. Stop treating the people around yall like OBJECTS. I'm tired of hearing my crew crying on 1am phone calls about how people treat them!!!

please, we are all 30 or 40 years old and we need to go to bed

Knowing all the right words is useless without integrity and action to match it, especially in media spaces where you encounter some much social climbing. Just sick of seeing people I love getting hurt by people who promised to treat them better. It leaves you jaded. We all deserve kinder spaces.

I cannot emphasize enough how often you can read a lot about a person in media by how they treat people they think they have nothing to gain from or how fast people circle back if they want to rob you of small joys. You have every right to he guarded and let people prove their integrity to you.

I'm supporting Feeding America! To feed America’s hungry through food banks and engage our country in the fight to end hunger

Because of Donald Trump's attacks on SNAP, my climate org is raising money for Feeding America to help fund a network of local food banks:

The cliques are always disturbing to see in industry spaces when fully grown adults should know better. I'm so sorry that you had this kind of experience.

It makes me really worried for my friends who dont seem to catch a break. And I can only imagine how bad it is to keep up for those of yall who are taking on so much to stay afloat at sea. I'm tired of our industries not having proper guard rails and treating people as disposable if they need rest.

It's gross. One thing I've been observing is the sheer amount of social climbing and objectifying of actors and artists in these spaces. It's no shock that burn out is common when you keep hustling and grind your mental health to dust to keep getting work vs feeling left behind.

With SNAP/EBT cuts looming I highly recommend downloading this app! Basically restaurants and other food businesses will have available bags of random food they don’t wanna waste for ppl to buy for hella cheap! This has saved me sooooo many times when I only have $5 and need some food.

Made a horrible sticker that I'll be selling at Requiem Cafe's Over the Garden Wall event on November 2nd. You're welcome.

Happy Halloween from the Far-Fetched team! 🎃

Unfortunately for Rue and Kira, trick or treating will have to wait... turns out they're deathly ill. It's up to the rest of the gang to save the day in our new comic!

Hmmm

This is dangerous advice bc once you learn how to draw, everyone you knew in high school will ask you to draw them and extended family you barely know will ask for logos for their side hustles.
