No perfection. No pandering. No standard for what is “good”.
Fuck “polish”. Fuck “marketing”. Fuck it.
It doesn’t have to be pretty. It doesn’t have to be deep. It doesn’t have to be revolutionary.
You don’t have to be a master of The Craft. You just have to be the master of YOUR craft— and it’s up to you to decide what that is!
It has to be yours. It has to serve you first. If creation is a part of your being, if you need it to survive and thrive, you are an artist!
When and if you release your art into the world, may it help you connect to the universe.

Cheers to all the service workers who deal with entitled people on holidays, ESPECIALLY if you are a woman and ESPECIALLY ESPECIALLY if you are a woman of colour.

my cartooning advice:
-your first foray into graphic storytelling should not be that 900 page epic youve been working on since you were 12
-use whatever crappy art software you have
-dont make every panel an illustration
-cut more corners
-no, more than that
-no, more than that
-a badly made comic will eventually become good but a never-made comic will never become good

If you want to cause a little bit of fun trouble I recommend installing an extension like boomerang for chrome (fuck chrome lol) and using it to blast out scheduled daily emails to your representatives. Merry Christmas fuckers here’s fifty emails from yours truly
