Making a YouTube account to post comics on. If I can get 1,000 followers and 10M views, I can monetize. Easy!
If anybody would care to follow along, I’d appreciate it: youtube.com/@toonholechris
my hope for young creative people is that they strive to do more than create "content"
"content" is the word of the enemy
Hey, here's a great list by @jmassat.bsky.social of every writer/pitch bible for animated shows from the internet archive! jmassat.com/2024/08/05/e...

GenAI has polluted image search results, especially for animal pics. It’s now basically impossible to find accurate art references.
Enter this: a repository of open-access, AI-free images of wild & exotic taxa. Artists creating *without AI* have blanket permission for derivative/transformative use.

"Artists peak at 30", "30 under 30", "by 30 you should" ridiculous. Arts industries capital craves young people to exploit and burn out. It doesn't want older artists thriving and guiding the young. It also doesn't want artists to exist. Stop letting cannibals tell you you only matter on a plate.
Forget it, Jake, it's Threads
Especially when the sketch is this simple I find it needs a bit more excitement. Plus client work doesn't let me play like this usually.
Finally got to do some cafe sketching for the first time since having a son. Snuck this in between bottles and wake windows. Not bad for a quick loose take on the barista. Feels good to be back.
from reddit r/ExperiencedDevs • 21h ago Tech-Cowboy An AI CEO finally said something honest (Meta Dax Raad from anoma.ly might be the only CEO speaking honestly about Al right now. His most recent take: "everyone's talking about their teams like they were at the peak of efficiency and bottlenecked by ability to produce code here's what things actually look like - your org rarely has good ideas. ideas being expensive to implement was actually helping - majority of workers have no reason to be super motivated, they want to do their 9-5 and get back to their life - they're not using Al to be 10x more effective they're using it to churn out their tasks with less energy spend - the 2 people on your team that actually tried are now flattened by the slop code everyone is producing, they will quit soon - even when you produce work faster you're still bottlenecked by bureaucracy and the dozen other realities of shipping something real - your CFO is like what do you mean each engineer now costs $2000 extra per month in LLM bills"
someone in AI fucked up and actually told the truth
Every time an AI scumbag blocks me, I grow stronger. Your grift means nothing to me and I am impervious to your "inevitable" bullshit. I know you are liars, and every time you breathlessly talk about how you can't tell if your LLM is alive or not, I have less reason to respect or trust you.
OpenAI is Trump's biggest supporter. Just another reason to quit using all A.I. now.
I have determined that everything right now is All Too Much and it needs to be Considerably Less, so if reality could just dial it down a fucking iota or two, I think we'd all like that

Thanks Dominique!
Thanks Eva!
Aw shucks thanks Claire!
Thanks Jim! He may need to join my booth next time as my mascot.
My first sketch of our baby boy.
As a model he wasn’t the most cooperative but he’s certainly the cutest.
In November we welcomed our son Tomas into the world. It was a little early and a lot scary. But thankfully mother and son are happy and healthy and we are so grateful for our beautiful new family.
I’ve curated another starter pack, this time to make it easier to find artists working in the illustration and comics fields! (If you qualify to be on this list but are not on it let me know, I will fill it up until it hits the 150 limit!)

CODE 3 is one of the funniest movies of the year according to @moviesaretherapy.bsky.social:

It’s the “season of love and giving”…but this year, doesn’t it seem more like a “season of fear and taking”? Like many of you, I’ve been saddened by the human impact of draconian government budget cuts and how angry many housed Americans are at unhoused Americans.
