Fanart Annotations
Not gonna try to space these into three separate updates, since I don’t have much annotation to offer. They cool! They look pretty.
Aviv Itzcovitz, who did the first piece here, seems to have left comics behind and the website for their feature Stupid Snake is no longer viable, but they do have an Instagram with many nifty illos.
Second up is Alex Heberling of, in Phil’s phrase, “post-apocalyptic magickal girl troupe comic (God I WISH I was the one who came up with that)” The Hues. Hues updates have been slow of late, but she’s also got a gig as colorist on the long-running Evil Inc.
And this second Frigg is from Peet, though the URL at its bottom is no longer valid. Peet’s another one who’s made the jump to Instagram.
It’s always kind of interesting to hear what actually happened to the people who made the guest comics. I appreciate the amount of work it must take to track some of these down.
Instagram … how sad.
Haven#t been on the site, and it turns out the “do you like cookies” dialogue has only one valid answer, even if you were to click the “more options” thing, which only explains in which way they positively will track you if you want to look at their website.
Good thing I have an overlay blocker, but then, if you want to actually see a picture, you’re asked to create an account.
Dear Instagram:
So, you won’t let me see stuff unless I agree to be tracked (GDPR be damned), *and* identify myself personally? So maybe you don’t actually want me to look at that stuff.
Dear Instagram users:
That company is not interested in showing your stuff to people, they’re only interested in using it to make it easier to track them. Sure, a third or so of all internet users do have an account, but that means there’s still two other thirds. Please don’t ask me to submit to surveillance just to see your pictures. There are better ways to show them to people.
