...as a copyright minimalist, it really pisses me off that so few people in my corner bother to try and come up with very good solutions to "How do artists make a living."

Like… so many of them just fucking default to "use donation models supported by true fans uwu" and while that can work, even most of the top fucking eschelon of creators on Patreon are basically making poverty wages, and most people who make a living have to treat it as one of many income streams, because again, it's not fucking enough.

Not at the scale artists need, and the way some people in "my" corner ignore that to moralize while failing to come up with better solutions infuriates me.

Like, you'd be surprised that I could be called relatively conservative on my current demands wrt copyright reduction, specifically for reduction back to 56 years in the US (Life + 50 in the countries where applicable) and massive expansion of fair use.

This is because these are things that are doable now without fucking over artists.

I want more, but I am painfully aware that'd be a much bigger project because you'd need to overhaul so much about how we economically handle art as a society, and it pisses me off how nobody's looking for those solutions beyond platitudes!

I've seen a few decent ideas. A "Mario Kart" version of copyright, where the larger in scale a works' rightsholder is the less protection it gets, was suggested by one person, I'd say mutually-supporting collectives based around Creative Commons works (Think akin to the SCP Foundation) would be a good start, as would long-term income-y government art grants that require the stuff produced under them to go into the Public Domain.

Even beyond that, the Peer Production License is also a great way to open up your ideas as well without making them vulnerable to corporate exploitation, that's worth looking into.

But like, we need more of those, and it does piss me off that people supposedly in "my" corner call artists entitled babies for pointing out the problem here!

It's the big obstacle to actually getting shit done, stop calling artists fascist for wanting moral rights Patricia and come up with something that actually works!

On another note, I designed this postcard for AnimeNYC https://www.instagram.com/p/BpviEnsAtpQ/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=6i8as51zy1l2

On a real note: I look at my manga and genuinely see that I draw and compose shots well. I used to be so insecure and beat up over dickhead Toshio Maeda telling me I’ll never be a pro for being weak/sick, but it’s nice being able to look at my art and be like “This is fucking AMAZING I CAN’T BELIEVE I MADE THIS??”

As days go by, I can see my hard work objectively rather than clouded by my views of my art. I’m actually super good at making manga ESPECIALLY considering I was crying and writhing in such bad, constant physical CPPS pain while drawing ALL of these. I would literally fall out of my chair and just scream on the floor, holding my pen with ink rolling down my fucking hand. It’s some shonen manga type perseverance sort of shit. No one has ever seen my art when I’m healthy because I’ve been sick for so long now. But man, I can’t wait until I’m healthy and my art just darts up insanely in quality. Anyhow, thanks for all the support. I can’t say something to really express my gratitude, but I know I exist on this planet to make people feel something through ink and panels. Times change; technology changes, desires change, but the necessity to create does not. Thank you for standing by my during this journey 🌱

Please read this and my others if you haven’t!

Okay, so this is super W.I.P. but I really want to know if you all would be okay with/interested in seeing short comics in this style. I’ve been really into colored pencil lately and wanna just create short comics sometimes without stressing so much over the inking. https://www.instagram.com/p/Bo8GqY3FOEy/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1sf3bg596swhk

we are in a media literacy crisis

This is pt. 2. Link to pt. 1 is here if you haven’t previously completed reading it: https://shopjammo.tumblr.com/post/157916282855/its-too-early-i-dont-want-to-wake-up-is-a “It’s Too Early, I Don’t Want to Wake Up!” is a one-shot/pilot comic I made during mid 2016. Pt. 2 (the rest of the pages becasue Tumblr has a cap on the amount of photos uploaded per post) Thanks for reading! A full graphic novel is in the works :’ )

Sorry for reposting, I noticed Clip Studio didn’t render the screentone layering properly when exported to a PNG :| So now it’s exported properly for how I intended the shading
