[image id: a four-page comic. it is titled "immortality” after the poem by clare harner (more popularly known as “do not stand at my grave and weep”). the first page shows paleontologists digging up fossils at a dig. it reads, “do not stand at my grave and weep. i am not there. i do not sleep.” page two features several prehistoric creatures living in the wild. not featured but notable, each have modern descendants: horses, cetaceans, horsetail plants, and crocodilians. it reads, “i am a thousand winds that blow. i am the diamond glints on snow. i am the sunlight on ripened grain. i am the gentle autumn rain.” the third page shows archaeopteryx in the treetops and the skies, then a modern museum-goer reading the placard on a fossil display. it reads, “when you awaken in the morning’s hush, i am the swift uplifting rush, of quiet birds in circled flight. i am the soft stars that shine at night. do not stand at my grave and cry.” the fourth page shows a chicken in a field. it reads, “i am not there. i did not die” / end id]

a comic i made in about 15 hours for my school’s comic anthology. the theme was “evolution”

above all else a trans woman is a person. above all else a trans women is a woman who goes to the same grocery store as you and buys fruits in the same grocery cart as you and goes home and eats her dinner the same as you. above all else a trans woman is a woman who dresses like you do and talks the same way you do. above all else a trans woman is a woman who wants to be cared about the same way you want to be cared about and a trans woman is a woman who makes friends the same way you make friends. above all else you should care about trans women because they are people. treat her as such.

i've died on smaller hills, so i can't judge. but i do think it's funny whenever posts about the proper definition of a poor little meow meow circulate, considering none of them mention that the origin was a kpop fan's absolutely bonkers tweet about not being able to protect a full grown man who was getting backlash for including audio from the jonestown cult leader jim jones in one of his songs

the thing about trying to recommend fiction podcasts to someone who isn't familiar with them is that not only are so so many genres represented but also the level of production can fall anywhere from "basically an audiobook" to "major motion picture minus the pictures"

“...stand for something different and build loyalty instead.” 

FredFilms Postcard Series 10.4 

“Copy and you’ll always  play second fiddle;   stand for something different and   build loyalty instead.” Neil Pedliham for FredFilms Quotations

Neil Pedliham* wasn’t a name I was familiar with (and there’s nothing about him that I can find on the internet, so I clipped his bio from the book I mention below) but boy did his sentiment ring true to the FredFilms “original, always” promise. 

Not for nothing, I read some of Neil’s thoughts in a fabulous book called “I love it. What is it?: The power of instinct in design and branding” from the UK creative studio Turner Duckworth. 

*Neil Pedliham. After graduating in graphic design from Salisbury College of Art in the UK, Neil began an expansive career working for a variety of consultancies in London. Gaining experience in many key disciplines with a a wide range of clients, he built a solid portfolio of work in corporate literature, identity, packaging, retail, leisure photography and art direction. He began his long association with the health and beauty retailer Superdrug as a packaging designer in the early 1990s. Early into his tenure, he became instrumental in a key brand redirection, incorporating  the restructure of its own label, and was subsequently appointed Design Services Manager, heading up the in-house design and artwork team while also managing the external roster of design consultancies. Having been a joint recipient of several gongs for Superdrug packaging, Neil was twice a judge for the DBA Design Effectiveness Awards.   

After a brief career wind-down as a food photographer, neil is now retired and lives in Wales with his wife, two dogs, one cat and several thousand bees. He spends his spare time playing guitar, woodworking, tending his bonsai and nature watching in the hills around their cottage.

angels can be transgender but in the sense of like. hey i wish i had a body. hey i wish i wasn't made of light i wish i had flesh and blood. like you. i wish i had skin, i wish i had eyes. i wish i could tan. i wish i could get a tattoo. i wish i could be marked by the things that affected me, instead of being immortal and pure and unblemished. i wish i could show it. i wish i didn't have to go into battle and come out without a scratch, i wish i could fall and i wish i could scrape my knee. oh shit

In Plagiarism and You(Tube), Hbomb says "If you consider something so obscure you can get away with stealing it, you do not respect it." Save that line for the next time someone tries to tell you that Roy Lichtenstein brought respect to comics as art.

It's since been pointed out that while Lichtenstein did copy one of Russ Heath's drawings of an airplane getting hit, the painting depicted above was actually copied off Irv Norvick, because Lichtenstein did this so many times to so many comic artists.

In Lichtenstein's defense, he was doing this in a time when comic artists frequently weren't even credited in the issues themselves. In his condemnation, he never even tried to check, nor has he made any move to pay or credit any of the comic artists who recognized their own work later on. Rather than elevating the "low art" of comics, he was widening the gap of financial success and respect even further.

The Hbomberguy of this story is art historian David Barsalou, who has now spent decades tracking down the original art and the names of the original artists used in Lichtenstein's most famous output. Here's the flickr gallery for the Deconstructing Roy Lichtenstein project. Frequently copied were Tony Abruzzo, Ted Galindo, Mike Sekowsky, Joe Kubert, Jerry Grandenetti, and dozens more Golden Age artists who aren't very well known in comics circles, let alone art history books. Many of them died in poverty. That's something that the Hero Initiative, mentioned in Russ Heath's comic above, aims to prevent.

Also, Lichtenstein didn't even paint Ben-Day dots. That's a specific thing.

Going through things to upload in my queue and forgot I had these edits from one of @akanemnon's Twin Runes pages from a long while back. I debated for a bit on whether this is something I'd throw up or not because of Kris' scar not being very visible from the angle used. Decided to share the edit since I was more interested on what Kris' appearance would be without the shade over their face.
