Hi, New People?

For some unfathomable reason, Tumblr has decided to suggest my blog to brand-new accounts to follow, so I've had a crazy influx of followers who, of the ones that are genuine accounts, probably have no idea what they've signed up for. (sorry.)

Oh, and I also have some new bittern-loving followers who have a slightly better idea but might not know the whole story!

So, here's your chance to escape, if you so choose.

Anyway, I'm Bob! I've been here since like 2012. I mostly make comics, but I also do some prose writing, game dev, and general shitposting. Should you choose to continue following me, you will be subjected to such content as

Canada geese.

Like... a LOT of Canada geese.

Also ferrets, the love of my life. And other art and general musings about my favorite animals, including but not limited to bitterns, grebes, pheasants, parrots, crayfish, eels, every single other type of mustelid, alpacas, etc.

But, because I can't be bothered to make myself a consistent "brand," I also make

Very Gay Comics.

I can't emphasize this enough, because I kinda suspect all those plumbing company blogs didn't know this before following me. I make very gay comics.

I'm working on a new webcomic called Into the Smoke that's gonna launch soon. It's about a gay medium who binds himself to a killer ghost, and I think my new follower with the car financing blog is gonna love it.

Lots more on that soon.

Anyway, I don't want to make a super long post. I just want to make sure y'all understand that if you follow me, you will get

Canada geese

and

Very Gay Comics.

Cool? Cool.

[bob-artist]

The aforementioned Very Gay Comic is now launched!!

You can read Into the Smoke here at intothesmokecomic.com, and we'll have new episodes every other Wednesday!

[bob-artist]

I posted this for the bittern lovers, reblogged it for the Canada Goose lovers, and now it's here again for the pigeon lovers!!

Long neck tiny head? My favorite bird genre.

Disaster spirit medium who's torn between whether he wants to bang an evil ghost or a celibate priest-exorcist? My favorite gay genre.

Into the Smoke Chapter 2 Episode 27 is up!

[bob-artist]

Happy Father's Day to the world's greatest dad!

As a fellow canada geese aficionado, I am presenting my park’s most successful parents for review

(they have even more goslings, they just wouldn’t fit into frame)

Is this the Teen Takeover thing I keep seeing in the news?

When an artist shares their work for free online, it can be easy to assume the art is free for everyone else to use too. So you grab it and include it in your own project, and all of a sudden an artist is mad at you, their fans are calling you out, you’re getting threatened with legal action—or even scarier, the artist’s publisher is threatening you with legal action. One-shot comics and minicomics are especially susceptible to this misunderstanding because often they are seen as viral memes instead of art, or treated as public property. But is this really the case? This guide will help you navigate using art you’ve found online. We’ll start with three basic questions: 1. Do I need to ask permission from the artist? 2. Do I need to give credit to the artist? 3. Do I need to pay the artist? After that, we’ll offer some tips on how to approach the artist.

I wrote an article for Cartoonists United! CU has a great collection of resources to help the art community, and I was really excited to contribute.

If you don't know whether it's safe to use a piece of art you found online, if you don't know how to ask permission to use art, and if you are unsure of how to approach artists, read the article!

And if you're an artist who frequently finds your work being used without permission, spread this around so more people know the etiquette around using art online!

Can I Use That Art? A Guide to Approaching Artists and Cartoonists Online

[bob-artist]

Reminder that our next Into the Smoke episode will have both the free public version and an extended Patreon version, for absolutely no reason at all. :)

The episode is expected on July 1, and the Patreon Bonus Tier gets the extended version!

Oh my god why are you such an absolute freak

[bob-artist]

I'm still so devastated by how much tumblr's compression chewed up this video (which was already zoomed in past my phone's green zone), but I need y'all to enjoy this weirdo at least a little more than was previously possible:

[bob-artist]

DRAMA at the honk pond~

Sound on for lots and lots of baby geese making their weird UFO noises all at once
