Every webcomic has two stories: the story the artist is telling and the meta story of watching an artist make creative choices over the course of many, many years. You get to watch art evolve and change in real time.

are you just so GUTTED about missing the Kickstarter?? WELL GOOD NEWS you can late back it! 👇🏾

i'm not a "silly little artist/writer" "just trying to make my silly little art" and i don't think you are either. my art isn't frivolous bullshit. it has a place in the world and the world affects it. i'm not just glancing sheepishly at a distant burning house— i live inside it. don't you?

Drawing of Goromi and Kiryu from the Yakuza game series. It is a shot from slightly above of both of them sitting in the corner of a booth at a cabaret club. Goromi is perched across Kiryu's lap, one leg stretched out and another curled under her. She has an arm slinged around Kiryu's neck, holding a drink. The other hand is balanced behind her onto the the booth as she leans slightly back. She looks at Kiryu coyly. Kiryu sits under her flustered, unable to make eye contact. One of his hands hover over her side, the other holds his drink off to the side.

happy bday kiryuuuuu

There are too many people out there that think creativity is something that some people have, and its 'extra' to life instead of something integral to humanity that all of us share and have. Its not a side thing to monetize, its something we have to grow and nurture in ourselves always!

Gotta love having the set up for some good news only for a domino effect of bad things to start happening. 🙃

Friendly reminder! If you want to support the right to read by purchasing a banned book or taking it out from the library your impact will be much greater if you choose a living author. Orwell is great and all, but he's not doing much with your money.

the fact most reports are leaving out that he was killed protecting his husband during a homophobic hate crime where his dead dog's skull was placed in their mailbox as a threat is leaving some important details out i think

Kiryu in the style of King of the Hill with Hank Hill’s face, looking irritated with a Dale Gribble Majima behind him saying “SH-SH-SHAAAAH!”

Cover illustration for the comic titled Leaf Lace, by Ashanti Fortson. The title takes up half the composition, hand-lettered in a cursive style to evoke thread and yarn. Beneath the title, a dark-skinned woman kneels over, tenderly and sadly clutching an older woman’s hand. Tears fall from the central woman’s face, echoing her teardrop earrings. The older woman is not visible aside from her hand. The central woman’s dark, tightly curled hair sweeps upwards from her form, becoming the backdrop for the title and pressing down on the woman visually. The illustration is done in soft linework and painted purples, with an emphasis on color and light.

Comic page from Leaf Lace by Ashanti Fortson. Ananke, the goddess who spins mortals’ life threads, sits in her studio and spins her yarn. Mnimi, her mortal wife, picks vegetables and tea leaves from her garden. She brings a tray of tea and treats to Ananke, and the two share a kiss. Mnimi looks like an old woman, but Ananke ruminates on meeting Mnimi when Mnimi was young. The page is illustrated in lush, warm colors.

Comic page from Leaf Lace by Ashanti Fortson. Through second-person narration, the goddess who spins mortals’ life threads reflects on the time she has shared with her mortal wife. A flashback sequence, framed by intertwining threads of yarn, shows the two meeting when her wife was still young. In the last panel, the mortal woman points out her newly-flowering orchids to her immortal wife, but the mortal woman is now old. The page is illustrated in lush, warm colors.

Comic page from Leaf Lace by Ashanti Fortson. Narration at the top of the page reads, You deserve to live forever. Mnimi, the old, mortal wife of the life-spinning goddess, shakily prepares a pot of tea. She shakes as she carries it to her wife, who is in her studio. Mnimi cries out for Ananke, her wife. She falls, dropping the tray, teapot, and teacups. The panel layout echoes this fall: the panels become irregular, tumbling down the composition. The page is illustrated in purples, hot pinks, and dark teals.

I just got word that I’ve used up all of my unemployment benefits and will not be receiving any at all. I’m going to be trying to recertify and seeing what my options are but rn I stressed (understatement) . shop orders are the only thing keeping m e going rn

btw if you're so petrified of doing a bad job that you can't even start, then what you need isn't advice on how to make comics. you need to learn to embrace being messy and bad at things and being okay with that because it's necessary, and actually it's GOOD. being messy is WONDERFUL

Every Harry Potter book or shirt you buy directly funds the persecution of trans people.

There's absolutely no excuse to support anything Harry Potter anymore unless you hate trans people.

artists support each other when systems will not. there's little safety net. it is resilience. artists are not your competitors. artists are your peers, mentors, and the ones who will defend the ability to create sustainably.

to those who struggle to continue drawing,
you are an artist.

My latest everyone.

that whole thing where white people create absolute dogshit garbage comics & jerk each other off with awards & tout themselves as the pinnacle of innovation & gatekeep minorities from any opportunities or recognition & then call *us* the untalented ones the second one of us gets an award. lmao. lol.

If we wanna complain about comics that get accolades and don't deserve it, there's generations of comics by white authors that fit the bill. But the second a POC gets attention, "it's not fair". Not the look you wanna give off when we're out here literally fighting fascism. Get real!!
