A human concept artist would absolutely explore those questions with you (AND MORE) before working on the piece if you let them - you just didn't let them because you "needed to see something" because you don't want to (or can't) use your imagination.

#ttrpg top tip: if you play any edition of D&D (or any game that uses a square grid and minis), A1 flipchart paper with 25mm grid lines is available from all your favourite online stationery suppliers, for around £5-10 per 40-sheet pad

me: mom, what was I like as a little girl? my mom (completely fucking braindead): hey alexa describe a human kid or something

"We only made the display cakes and posters with shit to get orders, the real ones won't have any shit in them, promise!"

I don't want to be forced to disclose what I put in my burgers bc making them with rat meat is so much better for my bottom line as a small food business

You might have seen the original "no genAI seal" by @kanaratron.bsky.social. I've made the icon into a set of assets in both PNG and vector formats that can be more widely used in different contexts. You can find them here: www.joramwolters.com/no-gen-ai-ico/

Rob Jones @robjoneswrites.bsky.social is the BEST letterer (and person). He's an invaluable asset to comics and a trusted craftsman. Thank you for your work!

BLUESKY! I would LOVE some follower submitted examples of YOUR FAVOURITE lettered panels in Comics to put up at my workshop at @thoughtbubbleuk.bsky.social next month! SFW please! I'll start with this cracking lettering from Clem Robins in Hellboy!

Every movie, song, and book that you love was made without the technology that people who don’t make art are now insisting is necessary for making art.

The Ukrainian drone strike on the Russian data centre (that stopped all the far right online bot traffic) has proved just how “inevitable” all this ugly unwelcome tech is. Truly inevitable things (rain, time etc) aren’t that easy to switch off at the plug.

How I arrived on Bluesky

We're currently on track for selling out early this year. We strongly recommend purchasing your tickets in advance to avoid disappointment. We will keep you up to date as we get closer to selling out! Get yours here: thoughtbubblefestival.com/tickets

Like, this is an area about TWO PERCENT of the total scene. By my count, there's around 10 stars local to the Milky Way in this view. EVERYTHING ELSE IS A GALAXY

Thought Bubble Comic Convention Maps are here! Stretched across four giant halls we've got over 650 comic-creating exhibitors and 70 incredible guests! Bask in the full listings here: www.thoughtbubblefestival.com/maps

There's less than two months to go until the @thoughtbubbleuk.bsky.social convention here in sunny Harrogate. Several of you have already accepted our offers of help, but we have capacity to do more so if you're coming from afar and we can help with anything, let us know!

This book from @limitbreakcomics.bsky.social deserves to exist. And there's a mothman enamel pin up for grabs too!!! zoop.gg/c/bumpinthen...

sure yeah, can't even make a stick figure without fucking up and no one at the company gives enough of a shit to even give it another pass but go ahead and take my money so i can use this lazy shit technology every day too

honestly some of the most apocalyptic impacts of "AI" will be shit like this, and most of the doomsday dipshits predicting SkyNet can't be bothered to notice or care

This is why I hate "just a tool" so so so much. You can make a calculator without access to every calculation. You can make photoshop without access to all photos. Someone show me a genai tool that didn't require all of our labour in its production. It's plagiarism software.

Just the piece itself bc I feel it deserves attention #fryr_au

‘Queen Of the Night’ by Marjorie Miller 1931

Mothman: a triptych.

I'm not just the 27th letterer you know and tolerate, I ALSO write comics and you can order @matthew-hardy.bsky.social @countpagan.bsky.social @simongough2099.bsky.social & mine's WAR OF THE WORLDS: THUNDER CHILD from @comicstitan.bsky.social! titan-comics.com/c/2381-the-w...

This book from @limitbreakcomics.bsky.social deserves to exist. And there's a mothman enamel pin up for grabs too!!! zoop.gg/c/bumpinthen...

Just backed Bump in the Night! @limitbreakcomics.bsky.social newest anthology. Cryptids! Who doesn't love a Bigfoot! (except when they're in your garden, digging up your turnips, obviously) Anyways, check it out and support local comics! zoop.gg/c/bumpinthen...

I can't wait for @hzeffman.bsky.social's book he *has* to be taking extensive notes for. It might be years off but his career has -- and is -- covering some insane times in UK politics and beyond.

I finally finished it. I was folding stars for this for six months and stringing them for ten hours. There are almost a thousand stars. I am so proud of it and also my hands are now ground beef.

We've had a few folks take us up on our offer to help them with shipping and stuff for @thoughtbubbleuk.bsky.social, but we can do more. We're 5 minutes from the venue - use us as a shipping address, hit us up with questions about the town, whatever, just message us and we'll do what we can to help.

Delighted to have this #cartoon published in @theguardian.com #datacentres #environment

The RNLI volunteer has told us that donations usually run at £20,000 per day. Currently running at £100,000 per day! Bloody brilliant!

Impossibly rad

Remember when there was a pandemic of people signing off tweets with 'That's it. That's the tweet.'

To expand on my feelings a little more: It feels to me like so many of “today’s” wealthy and famous and powerful people are real pieces of shit. I feel inspired by learning about all of Dolly Parton’s *choices* to be different and do different. What an impactful, rewarding life.

I just backed @davecook.bsky.social's Killtopia: Phantoms #2! www.kickstarter.com/projects/bus...
