This doesn’t come close to doing it justice. You can see lines on her when looking through with your eye.

Thoughts on giving critiques to comics artists.

stevelieber:

Seeing lots of discussion from students about sour experiences with an unhelpful art teacher, so here’s a long, long post about giving critiques.

NB: I have no formal training as a teacher, but I was a student, and I’ve spent decades giving artists feedback on their work.

When someone brings me a portfolio, I like to establish my limitations & clarify my perspective. My work is firmly rooted in traditional US comics storytelling (i.e., not manga or art-comics.) I can give feedback on o...

Let’s have the conversation about UBI.

Let the actual data and facts end the bad faith arguments.

I was a participant of the now cancelled UBI pilot in Ontario Canada. I was happier, safer, was able to move and work at better jobs.

And oops there it is. Better jobs.

This made me think of the window of time that Munich was a major film production hub worldwide. Thinking this and Neverending Story in particular.

And then I thought about the window of time when Minnesota was a major production hub with Grumpy Old Men, Mallrats, Fargo, and Mighty Ducks.

Small windows that changed the look of a medium, defining edges of eras.

The thing with amateur local theater is it is almost always bad BUT keeping it alive is the most important thing

The joys of artistic expression cannot be limited to talented people everybody needs it to survive

This is such a hilarious take we should give untalented people who make bad art money you know just because guys

Exactly. Glad you understand 💗

I feel like some people h...
