SO excited to be opening my artwork up to a new social media platform. This has truly been a year of growth for me. What has this revealed about my growth potential?

I’m excited to unveil this project.
Somebody out there, maybe multiple somebodies, are going to be absolutely furious to know that I cut up this piece to fit it into my tiny scanner.
Once you see the final results, they probably (hopefully) won’t be too mad. It better be worth it!
Ink on Bristol paper.

I’m all CAKE’d out. My voice is GONE. But I had some truly wonderful conversations with fellow cartoonist.
I’m very good at networking and not off-putting at all.

Jackie Ormes's strip "Torchy Brown in Dixie to Harlem” first appeared on May 1, 1937. Torchy wasn’t syndicated in the usual sense, but because her paper--the Black-owned Pittsburgh Courier--had national editions, she basically was syndicated. Here are the first two strips:

In 1980, an older Jack Kirby was at Ruby Spears, doing concept art. By all accounts, it was a good time: well paid, respected, flexible, health insurance, etc
In 1980, he did some concept work for a Planet of the Apes cartoon based on the 1974 tv show

This is going to sound so whiny but the fact that artists, established and starting out alike, have to promote themselves with attention bait reels or gimmicks is such a wildly frustrating part of being an artist in 2026.

I bought a $100 scanner on eBay a week ago. I haven’t set it up or used it until now.
Of course, the first sketch I scanned and digitally colored was a 5 minute doodle of an incel. Or chud. Or whatever 4chan/reddit term you’d use for him.
