isn't it crazy that people used to live in new york city on comic book artist money and now we get priced out of the 4th largest city in kentucky or something because of gentrification
the 60s stuff is fun too but you have to be in the right mood for it. I don't care for the stuff after hal goes evil and dies in the 90s because I kind of liked that end for him
I like the stuff from the 70s right after the denny o'neil run where it's still green lantern/green arrow but they're going to space instead. I think with ollie as this liberal hippie it kind of checks hal and makes him a better character
A comic page. Excavators dig at the surface of an inhospitable planet. In orbit above the surface, a space ship docks with a ring station. The art is done in a chunky retro-futuristic style with a color palette inspired by old 4-color newsprint comics.
Delivery, drawn by @jnyfmg.bsky.social follows the crew of an isolated terraforming station searching for meaning--in their relationships, and in the work of building a better future they know they won't get to enjoy.

It's my birthday!
If you're not already, maybe you want to give my Kickstarter a follow? Working on this book of quiet hope has helped keep me going through the last year. It's a gentle assertion of simple human kindness in the face of an uncaring world.

"While the bill has not yet been formally filed, if it is filed and passed, its provisions would take effect July 1, 2026—that’s just a few months away."
If you have thoughts on that, OP helpfully compiled contact info for the people who've introduced this bill...
the thing about working in comics is I can't afford to buy them lol sorry guys
dead hand in ocarina of time is still the scariest thing I've encountered in a video game
memories are short. reminder of this crushing statement from (one) woman:
"I dropped my dream of being a comic artist shortly after and fell into a depression while I tried to figure out how I could have my future still be art related. I’ve hardly read a comic since.”

the perfect is the enemy of the good. my work is also the enemy of the good. half because i never finish it and half because it's objectively just poorly done in general
I made a color palette based off of the Pokemon type icons from Heartgold and Soulsilver. Just for fun
I just got the final cover art from @carlydraws.bsky.social for SCATTERED FUTURES. Y'all... I don't have anything close to the words to describe how perfect it is. I'll share it at 75 followers. (the KS thumbnail is from interior art by @m3rtyn.bsky.social).

I'm not sure what issue it was exactly or who the creators were and I'm not even sure if it was done by the artist or the letterer but it was absolutely excellent
One of the coolest things I've seen in a comic ever is when someone used sheet music notes as a sound effect and it was the communicator noise in a mighty morphin power rangers special
myself or my partner getting deported is literally my worst fear. I hope they're both ok :(
a trans woman i know is being deported back to the USA due to the Home Office messing up paperwork.
her wife is desperately trying to raise the funds to prevent this. they have 48 hours before she’s put on a plane and might never be able to return.
please, help if you can. they’re both terrified.
honestly relieved that it's not just me
my favorite is getting added to political blocklists for things that aren't my beliefs and don't even make any sense

Political cartoonist Mike Lukovich. Right side shows Prince Andrew being taken away with the caption “JUSTICE”. Right side shows an ICE agent taking away a child, with the caption “JUST ICE”.
Political cartoonists are on fire in this era 🔥 If only we had a real government or you know, a much bigger national strike that isn’t on a weekend.
hi guys I know I haven't been very active lately, and I don't talk about where I'm from often, but the government made some really scary announcements today so I thought I'd share to let everyone know what's happening. here are some posts from twt for context
I still have art I need to do for other people though which I am working on whenever I can 🙏 I'm away from my tablet right now though
I'm leaving my day job because the country I live in is changing its laws for immigrant workers (meaning I can't. lol) so if I can make money from my dumb cartoons that would be absolutely stellar. tbh
this is why the whole “oh, suffering creates great art” thing is bullshit
you know what’s conducive to art? a roof over your head and food on the table
you know what isn’t? stressing out over where the fuck the rent money is going to come from

Holy shit! This makes even more an impact once you remember the era of Sting having to fight off an imposter stealing his look. I can now only assume this storyline was completely derived from this comic!
I didn't remember him being so huge.
