Meant to post this sooner, but I managed to make it to Annapolis for FCBD this year and say hi to Gail Simone.  EEEE!!  Gave her one of my books and she signed one of hers for me.  Gonna frame and hang that sucker eventually!  Thank you, Gail!!

AUSTIN KLEON: “There are no stats programs here. There is no like button.”

Michele Catalano writes about moving back to her blog hosted at her original domain, not because Yahoo bought Tumblr, but because she wants to get away from the likes/reblogs as validation trap:

For as long as I have wanted to be a writer – and that’s about 40 long years – there was never…

Sharing is great to help spread the word about what you want people to know about. But obsessively checking your stats is like looking at your gas gauge every 30 seconds instead of watching the road and taking in the scenery.

And this is why I don’t post much on various sites apart from my own.

jadephelle: ATTENTION: BALTIMORE AND TOWSON AREA FOLKS! Tomorrow is Free Comic Book Day, and I will be at Legends Comics and Games in Towson drawing visitors black and white sketchcards like the one shown above here for FREE (though tips would be appreciated)! I will be there with megakato and rosey-so-silly, who will also be drawing stuff and selling trinkets leftover from Otakon. Stop by and say hi! Love Jade’s work and will be stopping by to say hi!

katiewoodger: DISNEY HAVE STOLEN MY ARTWORK I don’t know what to do. I am so upset. Can anyone help me? My painting was created back in 2010, (see it HERE) and since then so many people have expressed their love for it, not just on tumblr, but in many places. At least 9 people had it tattooed on their bodies. It’s one of my favourite images I created at University and I was proud of it in many ways. Disney have used it on a cosmetics bag HERE (look at the back)and they have produced a Tshirt HERE with a really similar design clearly modeled from my painting I’m so mad because I have no chance at getting Disney to do anything about it. I had so much respect for the company and now I am just SO upset and disappointed. Any help, advice or signal boosting would be amazing. And thank you so much to the kind person who messaged me about this. Signal boosting!
