DAN DARE: FIRST CONTACT Graphic Novel Kickstarter. This is very much a passion project for @alexdecampi.bsky.social @b7comics.bsky.social and myself and being made with love. Today is your last chance to take advantage of our 'early bird' discounted books. www.kickstarter.com/projects/798...
cannot stress enough that "separate the art from the artist" was meant for private individuals reconciling the art they love with its flawed creators and not meant for the ceo of a company driving a dump truck of money up to a bigot's front porch

Even some of the most famous and legendary have GoFundMes to keep from dying.
Now I'm just imagining future historians dissecting & philosophizing the meanings of the acronym-speak of the digital age

Launching March 23rd on Kickstarter:

(It gets a little more complicated if you're just writing OR drawing a graphic novel. A team gets paid better combined than a single writer/artist on their own. No, I don't know why. But either way, it ain't that much. People in comics make a LOT less money than many people assume.)
This goes for American comics, too. Take what you think they make, halve it, then halve it again. And if they aren't working for the Big Two, halve it again. And to be brutally honest, if they're writing and drawing graphic novels, halve it yet again.
Happy happy day, Kelly! 🎉
Only 3 DAYS LEFT to jump on this one & they still need some help to get over the finish line!

100%. I brought this up with my mom a few years back and she said she'd never worried *what* I did with my art. She just wanted me to have a *way* to do it.
Aww I love this. I dont think a lot of people realize how huge those gestures are in making kids feel seen & supported :)

Everyone has an artistic streak somewhere inside them. But this world does its best to discourage your creativity. Providing your child with the tools & support to explore their creativity, not only helps them to become better artists, it equips them to meet the world w/curious, inquisitive minds
I know, w/o a doubt, that my path was made easier by the fact that both my parents & grandparents encouraged (or at the very least, entertained hah) all my artistic whims. We didnt have a ton of money, but they always made sure I had pencil & paper and they never made me feel like I was wasting time
Of course! Pulling for you guys!
I've been asked a lot, usually by parents, if I have advice for their kids on drawing, and I always tell them some version of this. Your child already has the inclination to create. But it's your support & encouragement that will help them grow as artists & people
If your kid is interested in drawing the best thing you can do is give them lots of paper and drawing tools, different kinds, don't be precious about it, nothing fancy or expensive (that comes later), now is the time to experiment and not be worried about wasting pages in a fancy Sketchbook.
This International Women's Day, please remember that trans women are women. Full stop. No qualifiers.
Hey, friends. Three years ago today I released VOID 1680 AM, the response to which legitimately changed my life.

Well, gas is expensive, and food is expensive, and we’re doing a war nobody wants, but at least there are no jobs
I am not promoting this *nearly enough* thanks to the crushing workload of actually MAKING the book, but!
We’re making a romcom! If you like queer characters, relationship friction, and as much humour as we could cram in, maybe you should read the preview at the link, and possibly even preorder?
