For Just $35.00 This Is A Fan Art From Solanin, A Manga By Inio Asano That Changed My Life Forever. All

It’s been a whole year! Thanks for being here ❤️💛 #artvsartist 2019~ https://www.instagram.com/p/BtrcGKWAjgB/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=3b2zjdid9xd2

Okay, here are the first four pages of the comic I’m (VERY slowly) working on…. manga takes a lot out of me and I’m trying to be considerate of my health condition lately when drawing…

It reads right to left as Japanese manga does

Anyhow uh… yeah - thank you for the support for those of you who looked at this on twitter already! I’ll try my best to release pages 5 and 6 this week. I’m sorry, I just took a break to work on a couple drawings and now I feel the desire to draw manga again! 🙆🏻‍♀️😄

...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!

My Friend Jeffrey :: My Friend Jeffrey (one shot/short story) | Tapas

Follows Otto and his imaginary friend, Jeffrey, in the struggle of accepting an imaginary friend well into adolescence.

Hi all,  I’ve gone ahead and (finally) uploaded last year’s one-shot comic “My Friend Jeffrey” to Tapastic (comics reader).  If I’m honest, I’m incredibly proud of myself for being able to pump out these 23 pages in basically a month and a half. The art surely isn’t my best, and there is notably more photograph splicing in this comic than in my more recent works I’ve yet to release. Though, despite my personal feelings of a lack in visual quality in this work, I don’t think I’ve felt so energized since drawing this one. With college continuing and my PBS (painful bladder syndrome) not having improved much at all, I feel lethargic and stagnant more and more, no matter how hard I work. My PBS truly does make exerting myself so difficult, but… let’s not go into my health status much currently. I try to not complain or make mentions of my health much lately because of the vast amount of criticism I’ve received from others about being “complaning,” “too much,” or “needy.”  nbsp; I share this comic in hopes of it bringing on some sort of ironic joy, though any reaction at all is more than I’d ask for. A bunch of you guys on Instagram and here are really awesome, so thanks for being there. Hope all is well.   - Luke

Changes coming leading into 2019;

I’ve established that _Jammo_ as a name is something my friend and I want to cultivate into an apparel brand and self-publisher featuring my manga, catalogs, zines, stationary, etc.

I’m at inches away from giving up at times, but last night I had the worst pain ever in my for years of my illness and sort of just got out of the shower and sat down at my computer and bought the domain name Shop-Jammo.com. Jonathan and I spent hours on the website and it’s absolutely beautiful. I cannot wait to share it with you. It hosts an archive, a live Instagram feed, a store, collections archive (lookbook), a blog, and hopefully an online reader to preview all of our print material when we get beyond our first self-published manga short story and re-prints of my “Welcome Back” zine a lot of you liked.

For real though, all of my money is in this. I’m literally going all in, and I want to say I love you guys for not giving up on me and supporting me as a person and hopefully _Jammo_ as a brand in the short and long-term. I don’t have anything too kind to say regarding the comments on my last post because it isn’t the sort of post I made for attention necessarily. I’m just thankful and feel love for and from you all (￣O￣;)🌱 And also, I promise to do the contest results soon. If I’m honest, I just cannot decide between a couple and I had to prioritize this website to be up-to-speed with my own progress. I promise the wait is worth-while!! You guys will… get the best prizes ever!!

An aggressively ugly digital zine about making art. Available in full as a pdf for free/pay what you want here: https://gum.co/lUpii

I like being able to make what I want. I like this ugly dying website. I like that the  largest and most accessible archive of my work as an artist is a page of the internet so obscure it might as well be the palm of my hand.
