Scream it from the hilltops! The most universal lesson of working in comics is having to accept that some things are out of your hands. You can only do so much. This applies to everyone, not just colorists.

Nono, YOURS is better.

Cover of I AM BILLIE JEAN KING saying it's banned.
Houston has banned I Am Billie Jean King--one of our greatest sports heroes. All because we mentioned who she is and who she loves. Now a whole community won't learn about this amazing person. I hope they change their minds.

Interview: Cartoonist Zander Cannon on the frontlines of the Minnesota resistance: "It's truly astonishing the way that life has changed just in the last couple of weeks."
ICE's occupation in Minneapolis has affected everyone that lives there, and today on SKTCHD, I wrote about what it's like for comic creators in the area, and how they're using their art to tell the story of the city from their perspectives.
Fresh newsletter is up, in which I elaborate on this ^^

This is a pretty common one, but
Don't treat your fellow artists like competition.
Not only is it just awesome getting to participate in art communities, but people are more likely to throw jobs your way if they think you would do the same for them π€
The dialogue font is CCMightyMouth. But if you mean the sound effects, Greg did those by hand.
You don't have to bust your ass to do a good job. My harshest teacher in art school gave me an A+ for an assignment I finished in 20 minutes. As long as it looks good, nobody cares how it got made.
No, I don't condone the use of generative AI or other forms of plagiarism.
