work in comics in the U.S., or know someone who does? (self-pub and webcomics count) tell 'em to fill this @cartoonist.coop survey! sharing knowledge is power 💪🏽🔏 airtable.com/appLRxNDI7Yj...

holy shit!! artists!!! you guys!! pinlite.app someone made a pinterest facade site that just strips away all the dumb bullshit and gives you only the images this is AMAAZINNNGGGG. Not to mention the web 1.0 grey and blue link vibe lol

and honestly if it comes down to it. i'd rather lose $20 every so often rather than have a less vibrant ecosystem of diy queer art. pic related

drew this for the Athenaeum Five Year Zine! thank you to Sean and the collector community for treating my comics art with such care and appreciation. i can keep pickin' up the pen, thanks to that. 🖋️🖤 @athenaeumcomicart.bsky.social

signed ⚔️💪🏽 i take heart in all the union actions calling for better wages and hours + protections from being supplanted by unwanted AI--amongst many other decent, commonsense things. artists, protect the arts.

After seeing some fellow cartoonists chatting about the fediverse/Mastodon this morning, I was finally motivated to revive an old draft of mine! Added some newer data into it as well. ⭐ The Fediverse for Cartoonists (or: Slow Posting for Freaks) ⭐ blog.itsnero.com/the-fedivers...

i'll be at these Cartoonists United events this month, see you there perhaps: 🎼✍🏽 hosting Ear and Eye Jam, Oct. 11 🖼️💭 facilitating Critique Group B, Oct. 19

Are you and your webcomic affected by the impending Tapas shutdowns? In light of recent events, the CartUn journal has published a new guide on webcomic hosting and moving platforms. journal.cartoonist.coop/webcomic-hos...

GREAT read on how to self-publish the niche queer comic/writing anthology of your dreams. finding your people, editing and curating submissions, dealing with marketing and censorship, being real and kind. genuinely: this is the kind of attitude and work that will keep interesting art alive.

for this commission, i really wanted to draw an old-timey elevator. thank you to this client for letting me trap their characters in one. ✨

If you want to see what kind of incredible report & action that data can be turned into, see the UK Comics Creators Research Report 2026!! An incredible feat of collective action and labor by the wonderful Comics Cultural Impact Collective who helped us create our survey! ukcomicscreators.org.uk

I was commissioned by @filthyfigments.bsky.social to draw up a BRAND NEW RSS COMIC! With all the Tapas news, I thought this would be the perfect time to post the full comic. This is an up-to-date comic with what I'm using, how I'm using it, and how you can too! #Comic #RSS #Webcomic #Art

requiem of the rose king commission done. thank you for the extremely emo request 🖤🥀
