omg its been a thousand years since ive posted my own words, huh?
to all 5 followers who arent bots- i think i want to turn this into an art blog. still thinking about whether i want reblogs on a separate blog or just to keep it as chaotic as its always been. Or to keep certain interests separate?
first traditionally published novel CAMP DAMASCUS out today with @torbooks. thanks to all you buckaroos for proving that sometimes if you stand proud of your unique way you wont bend to the timeline, the timeline bends to you. we did this. LOVE IS REAL. out now buds bit.ly/CampDamascus
People don’t like to admit it bcs cringe or w/e but Homestuck really did revolutionize the webcomic as a storytelling medium and I am endlessly frustrated that before webcomic artists could really stretch our legs fucking webtoonz swooped in, set a new, more restrictive standard, and then monetized and monopolized the ever living fuck out of the concept of The Webcomic until it drove away anyone who couldn’t be a professional quality manga artist for free, and now the only webcomics that actually feel like spiritual successors to Homestuck are so obscure they’re basically cult classics that you have to beg people to read.
Like it’s just so wild to be in high school and see Homestuck be like “we’re using like fifteen different artistic mediums to tell this story bcs we can” and be really fucking inspired by that, only to grow up and see basically every webcomic ever have to conform to One Single Standard or fucking perish.
Actually, I realized my real point here: we all need to make our art weirder. Please make weird art. I want more stuff like Prequel Adventure and 17776 and MyHouse.wad and I want it now. Capitalism thrives on conformity. We must be weird at all costs.
