“Be kind, be involved, believe in your art,” he said. “At a time when people tell you art is not important, that is always the prelude to fascism. When they tell you it doesn’t matter, when they tell you a fucking app can do art you say, if it’s that important, why the fuck do they want it so bad? The answer is because they think they can debase everything that makes us a little better, a little more human. And that, in my book, and in my life, includes monsters.”

Love this from Guillermo del Toro

They say “But you LIKED this art when you didn’t know it was AI!” like it’s some kind of gotcha.

We liked the original artist upon whose stolen work the machine was trained. Kindly point us in their direction.

PHOENIX BLADE

Certainly! Rabyn is the main character in a comic I’m working on called Phoenix Blade. She’s also a thief and a bit of a ne’er-do-well who drinks often because of her self esteem issues @o@ If you’d like, you can read it for free at phoenixbladecomic.com or follow phoenixbladecomic.bsky.social

I’ve curated a starter pack to make it easier to find artists working in animation on Bluesky! (If you qualify but aren’t on this list let me know, I will fill it up until it hits the 150 limit!)

I also work in animation
But I’m assuming the limit has already been reached? .0.

Hope everyone is having a happy holidays! We sold out of physical copies of Phoenix Blade Issue 1, but more copies will be available on the website in February after we’re able order a fresh batch. Plus, Issue 2 is coming in late 2026. See you all in the new year!

Regular reminder that the majority of the people who dreamed up the stories you love are, like, BROKE broke, and that most of the money spent on their work was given to Some Guy™️ instead.

I just want to give her a hug ;A; Ngl, Nott is pm the reason I watch The Mighty Nein, she is also basically my character Rabyn and I love this goblin

Inside me there are three wolves:
— fuck this shit, I’m quitting and moving to the forest to collect rocks
— believe in yourself you can make anything. I fucking love art.
— bros we gotta pay our bills

Damn that looks slick! I def need to get on that GP

Indie comics ain't easy. Working very hard to make something as well as you possibly can that you know only a few people outside of yourself care about can be quite lonely, and often feels almost like a folly.

Please let indie creators know you enjoy their work, it really helps.

“Comics were the first ones to punch Nazis before movies. They are inherently political. One thing they want to do is erase the past, but that’s one thing that this museum celebrates.” Guillermo del Toro at San Diego Comi-con on the Lucas Museum of Narrative Art

A simple black and white drawing of the artist seated at her desk. She sips tiredly from a mug of... something... while gesturing to a sign hanging on the wall behind her. The sign reads, "This artist blocks anyone who endorses an industry directly trying to undercut the value of their labor by posting A.I. generated content."

just another day in the office
