Got it, I’ll try again then!

I’m interested but your DMs are closed!

Average drug user according to these people: “Ah yes, let me use the drug that has the other drug that will insta kill me and not even give me a high for the trouble.” Like weed is right there

Doesn’t everything have fentanyl in it now? lol

Boosting this because Tripp recently redesigned Aster and the Fire’s logo (site update pending)! He was professional and accommodating through the entire process Not to mention their devotion to the craft is god tier. They made a new freaking FONT for the logo! Definitely hire him.

new bucket list unlocked for my adhd craft friends:

Trump announces Iran ceasefire ahead of 8 p.m. deadline He said the ceasefire was subject to Iran opening the Strait of Hormuz.

🌮🌮🌮 Sharing this for my followers to see since I imagine a lot of people are stressed right now: www.politico.com/news/2026/04...

Good news for now: www.politico.com/news/2026/04...

Done. Staffer for my reps local office was very nice. Left two other voicemails. Told them I would prefer to not die in a nuclear war lol

Wait this already happened before with an all women crew and I didn’t hear a damn thing about it from anywhere? Wtf. This makes me feel even less enthusiastic about the whole mission now.

You’re right though the pictures are pretty neat.

As a scientist who loves all things space this put into words why I feel so “meh” about the whole thing.

Also interesting to know that the previous lunar missions happened during tumultuous times as well.

Damn people really liked this one!!! Shameless webcomic plug it is then asterandthefire.com

The second most important advice for me would be to just start creating. Everything else can be figured out later.

And make sure you have fun!

Strengthen your body: arm and hand stretches, weightlifting, resistance workouts, regular breaks, walks, swimming, whatever gets you moving. All of the technical advice in the world is no use if you’re in too much pain to draw.

Also, I think the 'start small' advice should be related to your expectations. Because those should start humble imho. That way you can focus on the craft, get momentum or figure out if it's right BEFORE you pour all of these huge hopes and dreams into something new. Pace yourself, comics are a lot

Controversial comic opinion but: you should make that comic even if it's your big idea one first. Because if that's what gets you to start making comics, good.
There's nothing wrong with not finishing it either if it's too much work, you can just stop! It doesn't have to be perfect.

Triple birthdays!!!!

Jacki yearns for the mines

a couple of drawings of Bonic from the webcomic Kings of Sorts to celebrate his birthday. On the left is a little chibi Bon smiling at you, on the right is a regular size Bon looking like he's casually chatting. Between these is the text "Happy Birthday" and then the follow crossed out: "Riannoc, a thorn in uour side, the worst of us, the most despicable deplorable being to ever befoul this land, basbeo" and then at the end, not crossed out: "Bonic" :)

happy birthday to our favorite worst guy
#KingsOfSorts

Happy birthday bday twin :)
Also read kings of sorts!!

Thank you!!

Thk u!

Yay someone else who shares my bday! Happy birthday bday twin!

It’s my birth of day

For me, it’s worth it to have full creative control, the stability of a steady paycheck, and health insurance. These aren’t necessarily guaranteed (especially in this economy lol) but it’s a lot easier to achieve with a full time non art job IMO.
