As a depressed younger artist, my storytelling sometimes suffered. I just couldn't conjure up feelings & images the story needed. Over time I found some strategies for staying professional even when I wasn't feeling it. Thread:

Comic.[A gantry straddles the intersection of two tectonic plates, one under water and the other on a mountain. A tether connected to a winch on the gantry making a “click click click” sound is connected to the oceanic crust and is pulling it up, causing it to fold. Two people are standing on the fold next to the hook, looking down toward the space between the subducted crust where a shining object sits.] [caption] PSA: Please stay out of the Pacific Ocean today. Someone lost their wedding ring in a subduction zone and USGS is pulling the plate back up to retrieve it.

Read discussion of The Pitt. A cybersecurity pro said that no way would PTMC make the choice they did this season because no competent IT pro would do that. But then someone else observed that the show had clearly established that AnthroCon was that weekend, so…

what it feels like to be an nsfw artist sometimes

Experimenting a bit as I move into my next solo show. I want this body of work to be dreamier, messier, freer in form and brush stroke.

I really have to hold myself back when somebody asks if the boys getting each other off with gauntles doesn't hurt them to not say "luv, they are not real".

When a male author can't write women it's usually like reading about space aliens. When a female author can't write men it's usually like watching a movie where through clever camera trickery every male role is played by the same guy. Like, she can totally write MAN, but just the one.

But a lot of them still aren't, and don't need to be.

...used to benefit Gerard Jones, though that was long before people didn't want to do that.

But any time you buy anything, it benefits someone. You don't always know who. That's the nature of commerce.

And that's true whether it's art or socks. Even really plain socks.

...generation of stinkers. If they wrote for Marvel, it goes to Disney, for good or ill.

There are times that you might not want to buy one artist's work because you don't want to benefit another: Buying Alan Moore's work new used to accrue to Rob Liefeld (and others). Buying Joe Staton's work...
