Hell done froze over: TokyoPop is returning to publishing five years after abruptly calling it quits and leaving all their licenses in the lurch. The “Message from TokyoPop” contains the usual Stu Levy bloviating. Looks like new books are in June.

[gastrophobia]

Public Service Announcement to Young Artists:

TokyoPop is scum. Avoid working for them at all costs. TokyoPop is the worst of the worst of the worst. They will take advantage of you. Don’t believe their lies.

TokyoPop is notorious for the worst contracts in the industry. They pay little more than exposure. They have you sign away your trademarks, copyrights, moral rights*, and right to litigation. They will not make you famous. They are not more legitimate nor are they more effective than doing your own webcomic for free or selling photocopied zines directly to comic shops.

TokyoPop is so bad that SCAD banned TokyoPop editors from coming to their school to recruit. TokyoPop is so bad I can post on Tumblr publicly slamming them without worrying about damaging my career in the comics industry in any way.

Don’t just blindly believe me. Google “TokyoPop contracts” and see for yourself.

*moral rights essentially mean they have to give you credit for your work. How much is exposure worth if you give up that?

This snippit from a Tokyopop-affiliate’s Terms and Conditions is making its way around on twitter:

We may modify these Terms of Service, at our sole discretion, without your consent, effective immediately upon posting of the revised Terms of Service, and you agree to and accept this condition.

You are responsible for checking these Terms of Service each time before using the Platform.

I will never stop posting about Tokyopop because I do not want unsuspecting artists to get into this shit.

Any artists new to the community who maybe don’t know about TP yet –They are horrible, please do not work with them! They go around looking for talented young people who don’t have a lot of experience in the industry and exploit them with terrible contracts. They will pay you absolute beans for your hard work and at the end of the day, they will keep the thing that you’ve made. People in the same art circles as me have had several years of work essentially stolen from them because of their TP contracts. Even if you dream of working with a publisher, stay FAR FAR away from TokyoPop. <3

HUGE SHOUTOUT TO DARE BRITT FOR PUTTING PASTA IN HER WACOM PEN AND SAVING MY LIFE

(yes the picture above is done using a spagetti for a nib and it works)

[anorha-nono]

yes it bloody works, we can finally be poor artists

A recent meme post actually confirmed you can use spagetti as nibs for your wacom and it works just fine! it actually fucking works and wow.

By far, this is one of the best life hacks an artist could find.

yes, this means you won’t have to worry about buying new nibs for your wacom, horray!

THIS NEEDS A BOOST

[faranae-moved]

WHAT THE FUCK

This pen is ancient 

They don’t sell nibs for it anymore and I’m SCREAMING
