1/2 Anyone out there want to use their platform to help a kid make some good trouble? A friends son was arrested at college for what sounds like a hilarious and poignant anti-ai protest (no one was hurt and neither was any actual art)…
2/2 He’s a theater major, and his arts college is pushing students hard to use the plagiarism machines. I KNOW this college doesn’t want a barrage of negative national publicity from famous actors, artists, etc. so I want to make things really uncomfortable for them. Who’s with me?

Taking a break from the usual comics content to say WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK????
White supremacist talking points. No dog whistles.
Hey everyone! I’ve been following Bijhan’s comics for a while and always enjoy them - they’re fun and do a wonderful job of centering queer characters. They’re only $135 from hitting goal, you should go check it out!

Only one may wield the Talisman of Olympus.
This is a comics account. We’re here to talk comics because sometimes what we all need is an adventure where the good guys win. We try our best to support the good guys in real life too. Fuck ai. Fuck ICE & CBP. Fuck Trump and the entire Nazi regime. And fuck off to anyone who supports any of it.

One of the big things I'm working on next year is paying more attention to Patreon, so! Now's a great time to support me over there! Regular tier is $2 and a NSFW tier is $4! www.patreon.com/c/godpuncher...
Im still looking for work as a comic colorist (Especially because I want need to buy PC components ASAP before they quadruple in price (`;ω;´))
Heya folks! Im A.H.G. I'm looking for some comic coloring work I've been coloring comics professionally since 2019, working for publishers such as Boom studios! Dauntless,Wave Blueworld and more You can contact me at: ahgcolor/@gmail.com #Comics #ComicJobs
I’m just a comic writer, and though I don’t wear binders I support those who do because it’s none of my f’in business and it’s none of trumps either. Oh and I am a legal jargon expert. Kody is 100% right. It’s intimidation pure and simple, with no basis at all in the law.
I'm just a comic artist who wears binders and not a legal jargon expert, but this seems SO disingenuous from Trump's FDA. It seems like they're trying to gotcha TomboyX about binders being "medical devices" and TomboyX not having manufactured binders (which are SHAPEWEAR) in compliance with that.

“let trans kids suffer and die or go to jail for ten years” is state-enforced murder CALL YOUR REPS TRANS KIDS DESERVE TO LIVE THEY NEED YOU 🩷
Tomorrow, the House of Representatives will vote on a bill that bans gender-affirming medical care for any transgender person under 18, and threatens any medical professional providing this care to youth with 10 years in prison. Tell Congress to protect trans youth and vote NO.
I mean every word of this with every shred of my humanity.
No, there isn’t a way. There just isn’t. GenAI is poisoning the water supply of Oregon. It’s boiling inland seas.This tech, at scale, is an anti life equation, and all to spit out stolen collages of other people’s work to plug into a pipeline that has to be fixed by an underpaid real human later.
Any artists out there who are fans of Heroes & Zeros or The Olympian? We’re revamping our newsletter next year and hope to show off some fan art of our characters (and promote the artists who make it). Details will be in THIS month’s last newsletter, 🔗⬇️! It should go without saying, but NO AI!
I don’t know if there has ever been a more perfect one-hit-wonder song (and music video) than No Rain by Blind Melon. I know you all still remember the bumblebee girl. youtu.be/3qVPNONdF58?...
Hello friends - if you have a moment, give this a read. Jason’s story is a remarkable one of hardship, perseverance, and ultimately triumph, which could now be ripped from his grasp by a careless driver. Can we pull together a holiday miracle and help keep that from happening? gofund.me/b8770171e
There are many reason why I decided to open a bookshop. Here's one: I am a 54 year old trans immigrant. Getting any job would be difficult. Getting a good one would be near impossible. So I'm opening my own shop and hiring myself.
This is the most magical time of the year. Wha — no, I’m not talking about that. I’m talking about getting new art from for Heroes & Zeros AND from for The Olympian in the same week. These two are COOKING.

Epic pays for licensing fees for the games they give away for free as promotions. Which means even if YOU aren't paying for it, you're giving money to JK Rowling to harm transgender people AND elevating her stature by giving her franchise higher numbers. NO TERF WIZARD GAME. NO TERF WIZARD SHOW.
Hogwarts Legacy is free on Epic Games Store. Mystery game is the next title buff.ly/HE94Ti2

I’m constantly depressed when I get those “XYZ friends have joined Meta AI” and I wonder if they just clicked something by accident. For the record, if YOU ever get that notification about US, it’s a goddamn dirty lie. (Shirt art by , link to order in comments)
Hey there! Looking for a bit of cover work while I wait on some larger projects. Love doing all sorts of genres snd styles! Dm or email me if interested. Megan_huang5(at)hotmail(dot)com P.s. the Ahsoka one is a fake cover. 😅 Feel free to repost/ share!

I'm a trans Muslim comics author in South America. I'm having a Kickstarter for my comic book, Legendary X-Knights, about a rag-tag group of queer superheroes. We're taking an unflinching look at gender and sexuality, as well as being action-packed. www.kickstarter.com/projects/jam...
Would any of my friends in the media like to review The Olympian (issue 1 out, issue 2 coming in the spring) or Heroes & Zeros (issue 2 will be out in February)? I’m happy to send digital copies!
It is challenging to post every day, or multiple times per day, when you are running a Kickstarter campaign. It’s damn near impossible to think of something to post daily when you’re between campaigns. So…comics, amiright?
This GN was fantastic, sign up and read it for free!
Starting today and going for the next 6 months, I'm going to be serializing my sci-fi graphic novel Into the Deep on my website. You can check out the first episode here and then sign-up to my newsletter to get the others! www.reedhinckleybarnes.com/into-the-dee...
It’s been a while since I’ve had a chance to build Legos (my zen hobby), but finally got to put Baby Bumpy together.
IF YOU ARE TRYING TO MAKE A COMIC... Please talk about it on this thread! I would love to hear what stage you are at, what is working well, and what has proven more difficult than you thought. Share a bit of art, if you can! Sing your own praises, if you like!
Hey friends! If you want to be among the first to get issue 2 of Heroes & Zeros, late pledges are closing out in just a few hours at hzcomic.com. So, last call!
Tomorrow around 12pm EST, I will be live streaming the first episode of DOODLE FRANKENSTEIN, a show where I take a random video game character, and a random comic character, and mash them up. If it goes alright, an edited version will be uploaded later. www.twitch.tv/lanesartands...
