Weird timing this week, but if you are a comics professional voting in the Eisners, consider The Nib magazine for the Best Anthology category.

Hey folks. One of the benefits of Patreon vs. other social is I feel better about posting more nuanced/private topics. I’m posting this, not for commiseration or for people to bring it up to me at the next SPX or something, but rather mainly for other professionals or artists aspiring to be professionals, to get an idea of how these things go, and maybe find the salt to stick to their guns and preserve the quality of their work. So on that note, a brief history of how the cover of Now Let Me Fly was almost awful. So, here we go; first post 2023!
In 2023 we back on our Tumblr shit! New GratNin trading card images just dropped over on Patreon.
“Time heals everything, but what if time itself is the disease?”
Wings of Desire (1987) dir. Wim Wenders
From the “Title-Page Collection” of the “AKIRA club - The memory of Akira lives on in our hearts!” art book by Katsuhiro Otomo (大友 克洋)
The Gay Intruders - In the Race (1966)
After you giggle at their name (those were different times), give cool bit of Bo Diddley influenced garage rock a listen. Cool stuff. Unreleased until recently.
The name is excellent, tho.
Really beginning to prefer Tumblr to Twitter purely on the basis that when I say something like, for example:
We should feed every frame of Disney into AI art generators
Most people on Tumblr will immediately understand that I am not suggesting it as some sort of actual, workable long-term solution to the problem of independent artists' work being stolen
I am suggesting it as a goblin curse to make the lives of both the talentless artist-disrespecting AI art scumbags and the soulless corporate parasites at Disney very difficult and miserable, and people on Tumblr immediately get that
Posted the same thing to Twitter and I almost immediately got someone dissecting the tweet as "being indicative of how left-wing creatives will try to side with corporations when the subject of copyright comes up"

…I always draw nonsense when I’m filmed. I posted some process on Patreon a while back. I’m behind the eightball on three projects right now, but I will post more on Patreon next week. I PROMISE! Ps: we back on #TUMBLR!!! Repost from @ardbeg • A peek inside ronaldwimberly’s home studio – where Planet Ardbeg was born!
