Episode 2 - Lean into the worst
In the Comics FLOW + PUBLISH group we asked around: how do you lean in when the going gets weird? What parts are EXTRA UNFUN, and how do you navigate it?
Helen asked about deadlines.
Oneita asked about guilt.
Virginia asked about backgrounds.
We spoke on all these topics, as well as the role of ritual and community in answering these three questions. We cooked up ideas on how to make a home there in the ruins, being okay with badly-drawn hands, what to embrace when we're working.
Join us over in Comics Flow + Publish for the next TERRIBLE ANVIL live call, on February 1 at 11 am Eastern! Happy Making, Jess
The Terrible Anvil
How do you make comics without all the frustration? Without feeling lousy and inadequate all the time?
With the Terrible Anvil of daily deadlines! And a community, and mindset shift about what it means to make comics and art.
Jess Ruliffson and Tom Hart are working through the whole process, one piece at a time, turning frustration into fun and glee.
