All the Right Things

Badass.

#art #memento mori #NSFW #drawing #artist #beautiful #sexy #badass

This past week, I was moved to be at the ceremony dedicating a section of Essex Street in the Lower East Side of Manhattan as Jack Kirby Way.

To see his surviving grandchildren unveil it & hear him celebrated by Tom Brevoort and the always eloquent Paul Levitz was wonderful. Knowing from a Mark Evanier interview that, at one time, Kirby couldn’t enter stores because of the sight of toy versions of his uncredited creations… To see him remembered this way decades after he’s gone brought a tear to my eye.

He saw the shape of things to come for comics, created the most insanely impactful artwork, built most of an entire fictional universe of characters, but was wildly under-appreciated in his lifetime.

Tourists visiting NYC and little kids will see this sign and ask who he was for years and years and years. This is a nice step in the right direction.

(The final photo of the linked Instagram post is of an exhibit in The Center for Jewish History at 15 West 16th Street about Kirby, his work, & the street dedication! It was free to attend & I believe it will still be up to November!)

I’m reblogging this 7-year-old comic of mine because, not only is it somehow still circulating, it just passed 400,000 notes??? Thank you, several hundred thousand internet strangers, for keepin’ this ol’ goat girl goin’ so long

(Also hi, I’m still making fairy-tale-flavored lesbian romance comics and have a new one coming out very soon…)

Rest in peace Gerry Conway, a legendary comic book writer and editor who worked on the Amazing Spider-Man, House of Mystery, the Tomb of Dracula, Batman, Justice League of America, Superman vs. the Amazing Spider-Man and many more.

He was the co-creator of the Punisher, Power Girl, Firestorm, Killer Croc, Jason Todd, Carol Danvers, and Spider-Man's clone, Ben Reilly.

He was also known for writing one of the most iconic (and darkest) Spider-Man stories in the comic book history, the Death of Gwen Stacy and the Green Goblin's Last Sand.

empathetic

i know I'm overly empathetic

i know it isn't a bad thing

i'm blessed to be able to connect with others

i'm blessed to understand

so why do people act like i'm too sensitive

too much

too caring

too ridiculous

i'm not sorry for giving a fuck about other people

everybody needs somebody to look out for them

i want people to know i care

so fuck anybody who says you are ridiculous for caring

it matters, it ALWAYS matters

you are not ridiculous for not giving into their cold mindset

you are not too much for showing how you feel

you don't deserve hate for being who you are

live, love, and don't ever stop being you

and for the record i'm proud of you

you are more than enough

thank you for caring

Happy to share some additional @moccafestnyc coverage (on kids’ comics) I did for The @comicsbeat!

A panel on kids comics at MoCCA debated whether there is a specific style in the US, and other lively topics

I love when I see this in the numbers at When Does It Take Place? ( https://whendoesittakeplace.blogspot.com ) It’s not exactly breaking the bank for advertising hits but it means someone found the site, got some use out of it, and learned something related to a thing they love!

(Or felt the need to obsessively click on each just to check that this schmuck on the internet didn’t utterly disrespect something they love by getting it all wrong...)

Contrary to popular belief the biggest beginner's roadblock to art isn't even technical skill it's frustration tolerance, especially in the age of social media. It hurts and the frustration is endless but you must build the frustration tolerance equivalent to a roach's capacity to survive a nuclear explosion. That's how you build on the technical skill. Throw that "won't even start because I'm afraid it won't be perfect" shit out the window. Just do it. Just start. Good luck.

It’s true. Start somewhere. Watch, read, listen. Ask. Create something. Repeat.

As long as you already enjoy doing these things, there’s no reason not to keep going. If someday you’re financially and/or critically successful, awesome. If you’re never a famous creator, you still enjoyed your life.

I think it’s pretty remarkable how much leeway for crazy shit we’re all willing to give a story as long as there’s a scene halfway through where one character says to another, ‘Boy, that was some crazy shit!’

Things are still scary here in Minnesota but the community is strong and so is our love

Beautiful and pretty damn accurate.

Another example of an entry in this insane, massive, never-ending, impossible project to track when every story ever made happened that… actually came out pretty okay.
