Keeping Time is a queer, adult webcomic that’s a bummer of a romance between two deeply flawed, not-at-all-wholesome guys who fell out in high school and now made the terrible decision to be in a band again. 🎸Launching publicly on April 23rd at the website in the first image!

Today I learned my partner has been keeping a secret from me for 10 months. He's been "monitoring" the daily progress of a desiccated carrot in our fridge since August 2022 and the only reason I found it is because he forgot to tuck it back behind the oat milk cartons

In 1997, I wanted to be a comic artist. In 2007, I put down my pen and gave up on. In 2017, I picked up a pen and tried drawing again, just for fun. Yesterday I got my first check from a major comics publisher.

One of the reasons I burnt out so quickly in Japan was because I had to perform gender in new, more encompassing ways than I was used to. The worst being, as someone femme-presenting at the time, learning what sort of places were socially acceptable for me to eat at alone. 1/4

If you have little or no experience hiring artists, I understand working with one may be daunting, and you may not know what to expect. While all artists are different, there are some stages of the process that are universal, and that you, the client should be involved in.🧵

I understand the sentiment, but putting the burden on working artists is not the answer. Artists shouldn't have to jump through more hoops to get paid. The onus should be on CLIENTS to educate themselves on how to discern AI art and what to reasonably expect from collaboration.
