Replying to @cabfolio.com

I've been writing a monthly newsletter for 6 years now: each one ends with a link to a Cool artist's website (that is not an IG account). That's 72 Cool artists to discover SO FAR. The goal is to make a page on my website dedicated to the people who have inspired me. It's coming along!

Rouge comme une tomate! Inspired by the tomato hornworm I saw in my garden last summer. Careful, if you keep blushing it'll mistake you for a tomato! 🍅

The art director of the New Yorker being an "AI whisperer" should be a red flag for all artists who might work for the New Yorker going forward. The Spiegelman thing is a whole other bummer.

Now that this is out in the open, I can say that a certain book I did for a certain publisher affiliated with one of these people had generative expand used on my cover art without my permission, and it wasn’t removed before publication

I think the only time I've ever drawn Clayface was in a couple panels a 2022 "Batman Hot Takes" shitpost, but that somehow feels appropriate

because it is relevant to my work, I have tried very hard to educate myself on how AI works, be fair and measured in how I evaluate it, and regularly test new tools to confirm or debunk my priors and tbh AI haters are just nailing it with less work like 99% of the time. keep at it folks

Three years ago, my dad said that all fish are the same shape. Out of spite, I decided to draw all 478 families of bony fish listed in Nelson 2016. There's still some stuff I need to edit and some fish I want to redraw but, after 985 days, I finished my big dumb fish project last night.

This is a point that I always want to really hammer home when it comes to environmental matters It’s not about being overly-optimistic, it’s about understanding that there’s machinery at play that wants you to believe that we’re cooked and done, that’s betting on people letting go and giving up

It’s really important to note that there is a lot of effort put into making you believe that the battle for the environment has been lost and that there’s nothing more we can do, so you can only sit idly by and watch It’s completely false, there are so many things we can still save

She's finally drawing again in between grading! I am a pretty messy sketcher, a huge way I really dive into messing around and figuring out anatomy is drawing something and then moving parts around so you can see some of those choppy moments where I clearly moved something or fussed with it

I've mentioned before I've updated my contracts to make sure everything in the production of my books is done by humans and not "AI"; if you're wondering what such a thing looks like, here's a clause covering that from a recent contract.

BLIND ALLEY is one of my favorite comics right now, you should definitely pick up a physical copy if you can!

Gonna be shutting down the shop on Monday at midnight. You have until then to place orders. On a related note, after these printings sell out, I will not be reprinting these editions. So, if ya want one, you’ll have to snag it soon. kumerish.bigcartel.com
