Someday, someday

our story will come to an end

until then take in the breeze,

let the sound of the road lull you to sleep

and enjoy the journey

Old, but useful post to remind me…

while this is mostly about facts, there are a lot of opinions in this tutorial (namely my distrust on several brands marketing strategies, and my opinion that’s better to start with cheap student quality stuff. LOTS of people disagree on that point) as well that you should take as what they are: personal opinions.

here is slightly more readable than on tumblr

this is the result of several years of research on creating a cheap but high quality palette that would help me.

other things to be aware of: pigments are generally more resistant in oil and acrylics than they are in watercolor. but there are a couple of pigments that work well in watercolor but really badly in oil.

resources pigments through the ages a comprehensive guide to watercolor pigments and a lot of tests on popular brands about van gogh’s bedroom Blue and Yellow don’t make green by Michael Wilcox

The US Copyright Office is opening a public comment period around AI

American friends! The US Copyright Office (which we know exerts huuuge influence in how these things are treated elsewhere) wants to hear opinions on copyright and AI.

"The US Copyright Office is opening a public comment period around AI and copyright issues beginning August 30th as the agency figures out how to approach the subject."

We can assume that the opposing side will definitely be using all of their lobbying power towards widespread AI use, so this is a very good chance to let them know your thoughts on AI and how art and creative content of all kinds should be protected.

I dunno what's the best way to share that there are new pages of my comic?

This comic wont' pass the bechdel test anytime soon

*I JUST noticed the New Post Format is here to stay and it will no longer let me switch back to Legacy. For now, until I figure out a new template or how to fiddle with the current one's code, the pages will be displayed a bit smaller, looks like...
