What if
#TenochHuerta
's MCU
#Namor
had to appear in the comics? 🤔
I'm a big believer that comics costumes should be as simple as possible. The MCU costume is *stunning*, but I wanted to make something with... less lines and some more 616 flair.
What do we think?

Artist pals,
Do not do ANY work without some kind of written agreement. EVER. Get in the habit. Any little old thing. It’s taking everything in my power to not write this in all caps.

Hey y'all.
It's come to my attention that some of my work was used by LA as a tool to harass women, trans folk, and non-binary members of our community.
I want to make it crystal clear this happened without my knowledge. I want to stress a few things.

Really wish AI folks would stop trying to stretch the definitions of terms to 'legitimize' what they're doing. Like in what universe can you honestly call this an 'animated movie'?
Wasted over a minute and a half of my time waiting for something to happen.
I spent 6 hours using ChatGPT, MidJourney, and a couple of other AI tools to make a fan-made Batman animated movie!

what I want to know is HOW does this happen.
How long were these literal 10 year olds working in their cartoonishly oversized uniforms without somebody making a call on the spot
The Labor Department has found two 10-year-old children working at a McDonald’s in Louisville, Kentucky. Sometimes until 2 a.m.
Overall the agency found 3 franchises with over 60 McDonalds employing 305 kids and violating labor law.
The franchisees face $212,754 in fines.

Artists: Yeah I don’t love the term ‘talent’ because it’s dismissive of my years of practice and dedication.
This writer: I am an ethereal being, possessing innate power you feeble pencil monkeys could never even dream of. Your jobs are only safe because I allow them to be.

I would have waited. Everyone would have waited just for people to be able to working at a reasonable pace.
But shareholders won’t wait, and they don’t care about those things.
A few animators for ‘ACROSS THE SPIDER-VERSE’ have came out about unsustainable working conditions that caused approx 100 artists to leave the film
These included demands to redo finished work 5X + potential 11hrs a day for 7 day working weeks.

I just think that if you wrote something, thinking on turning it into a comic, but you have a problem with sharing authorship with the artist, then maybe comics isn’t the industry for you. I don’t care how much of an ‘original idea’ of yours it is.
go write a novel.
