I've drawn her literally hundreds of times and I still usually have to remind myself which earrings she has on which side.

Sorry I'm not more open-minded about LLMs, it's just some fucking maniacs shoveled out a bunch of useless bloatware featuring that technology, did not give me any chance to opt out, reorganized the entire economy around it, zeroed out gains made by green energy, and made it impossible to buy RAM

I procrastinated yesterday by writing something I wish somebody had taught me.

That's probably the moment I remember most strongly from the game too.

Sadly I don't have a local comic book shop, but next time I can get to my favourite one I'm gonna look for Fine Print πŸ˜€

The world could be such a nice place if we allowed it. It's all so goddamn unnecessary. There's no need for any of it. It's so beautiful here. It should be so cool to be alive

Picture of Marjane Satrapi alongside a quote from her. The quote reads:

The world is not divided into countries. The world is not divided between East and West. You are American, I am Iranian, we don't know each other, but we talk together and we understand each other perfectly. The difference between you and your government is much bigger than the difference between you and me. And the difference between me and my government is much bigger than the difference between me and you.

And our governments are very much the same...

- Marjane Satrapi, Iranian-French graphic novelist

Thinking about this quote from Persepolis creator Marjane Satrapi again.

Same for writers STARTING a series that works for them:

-George Macdonald Fraser: 44 for the Flashman series
-Patrick O'Brian was 55 for Master & Commander
-Hugo Pratt was 40 for the first Corto Maltese
- Andrzej Sapkowski's first Witcher short story was at 38, first of the novels at 46

no one should be renewing their nitro because this is just kicking the can down the road. until these freaks realize it's not the entire fucking world's job to imperil their security or banking to babysit other people's stupid kids and drop this shit entirely, they should be hemorrhaging money.

I learned about this game when Cool Ghosts covered it way back, but sadly I am not a PC gamer. I have it wishlisted on Playstation, but I kind of assume it's never actually coming out there πŸ˜…

I wish I knew which singular place I could share my art so people could see and enjoy it.
We're buried in platforms.
I draw this the other day, and filmed some of the process.

I barely look at IG any more, and when I stopped even opening the app, it started sending me a lot more notifications and I even got some new followers even though I hadn't posted in like two years. It was DESPERATE to keep me in.

4 panel silly comic in black lines only. A blob guy has a big pencil. It says β€œI draw”. In the second panel he seems happy with his drawing and it says β€œall done yeah”. Panel 3 shows him holding up the drawing of a triangle with legs and a happy face. He goes β€œcome on”. In the final panel he’s very pleased with himself, closes his eyes and tells himself β€œI’m a bit incredible”

I haven't played this game in a long time, but I still count it among my favourites, and think it's one of the best-looking games ever.

I'm gonna keep saying it in the hopes that it'll happen one day; I think this game deserves a remake.

IF YOU'RE UNEMPLOYED IT'S NOT BECAUSE THERE ISNT ANY WORK 
JUST LOOK AROUND: A HOUSING SHORTAGE, CRIME, POLLUTION; WE NEED BETTER SCHOOLS AND PARKS.
WHATEVER OUR NEEDS, THEY ALL REQUIRE WORK.
AND AS LONG AS WE HAVE UNSATISFIED NEEDS, THERE'S WORK TO BE DONE.
SO ASK YOURSELE, WHAT KIND OF WORLD HAS WORK BUT NO JOBS. IT'S A WORLD WHERE WORK IS NOT RELATED TO SATISFYING OUR NEEDS, WORLD WHERE WORK IS ONLY RELATED TO SATISFYING THE PROFIT NEEDS OF BUSINESS.
THIS COUNTRY WAS NOT BUILT BY THE HUGE CORPORATIONS OR GOVERNMENT BUREAUCRACIES.
IT WAS BUILT BY PEOPLE WHO WORK. AND, IT IS WORKING PEOPLE WHO SHOULD CONTROL THE WORK TO BE DONE. YET, AS LONG AS EMPLOYMENT IS TIED TO SOMEBODY ELSE'S PROFITS, THE WORK WONT GET DONE.

I hear a lot of people saying that ai makes art accessible.. well I personally think that's bullshit- so I made this to drive my point home.
