your words about IA were very calm, personally i believe the same. People consume comics partway because they(we), are fascinated with the creativity of the person at other side in that process. For me, someone who is starting, never represented a real problem, i dont thinking at least.(i dont know what it will be like in the rest of the world) but here unfortunately, and fortunately, the illustrators and comic artist/writers we only are a monkeys with pencils for the rest of the world, so they let us be. hahaha the IA is for important things as scientific representations of distant planets... or a cosmetic surgery preview. otherwise, i love when the artists showing they first works(and I know you've done it before(marathonic sessions haha) but, is the first time that i have context and i know the evolution of that, understanding the process) besides in these size, litterally my nightmare, my arch enemy, I will respect my scanner more haha
Robyn will be missed. I love you both and I'm sure Terry will do well alone but this is a tectonic shift in the Terrvverse. Can't wait to see the new updates, and I am so looking forward to adding remarques to my purchases now! (Spoiler: They will all be Veronica, because I'm me.)
How does the TM Live art sale work? There is a specific piece I am hoping to get, but it looks like it runs all weekend long. Are pieces listed throughout the weekend? And are they set price or auction? Thanks for any info and apologies if this has been answered somewhere before (or will be before next weekend).
What DevilzFan said. The sale begins at 10 CT Friday and all the art is available from the start. Prices are set. We have a full store there and you can purchase art and books and check out right then and there. I suggest you browse the webshop and get familiar with it, see how it is in categories, see where the original art category is-that's where the art will be posted on Friday. Maybe purchase something small now to test the check out because it is possible be in the middle of checking out and somebody purchased the page before you could finish check out. I've heard of that happening. It's sort of crazy the first hour. Good luck!
Hi Terry! Long time lurker, first time commenter. My hot seat question is about conventions; I've been doing local/regional comics/fantasy/fandom shows here in VT and other parts of New England as part of what I'll generously call my comics "career" for almost a decade now. My day job is in commercial printing, and while I dream of someday doing my art full time, it still seems a long way off when adult reality settles in. I have a mortgage to pay etc. Let me boil my question down as simply as possible: I've never in all my years of tabling made back my table costs. The shows are fun, I meet a lot of really neat folks, have a great time seeing friends and other artists, but my product just never moves enough. What's the secret sauce to getting to even? I'm deciding whether or not it's even worth the $100-$150 I spend on tables alone to continue doing shows, or if that time would be beter spent just creating on those weekends, in what limited time I have for art. I realize this is a very very broad question, but I feel like I've tried many many things over the years and, not being the most charismatic person in the world, not sure what's left to try. Thanks for any advice an old pro like you can provide to a mid-life facing creator like me! Cheers!
This is a good question! I did my best to give you an answer/suggestion in this weeks video. Hope it helps. New Sketches preview for Heroes Con: The Story Behind Them ua-cam.com/video/6pHXqBwUXP8/v-deo.htmlsi=wtUJX4DZe4SJgG61
Dear Mr Moore, before I ask my question, I had hoped to make a comment in response to your remarks on AI art (April 21, 2024). So Coil has stressed Curation as the key to keep making interesting noise/imdustrial music, and the same also applies to AI art. It means, at least for the forseeable future, there's space for the human element there, the human creative touch. That said, my question is--: One reason why I've managed to get a fair amount of poetry published is by carving out time to write it. It's a practice I developed after reading Paul J. Silvia's How to Write a Lot: A Practical Guide to Productive Academic Writing. So I was also wondering, from your own experiences & practices, how you would take ideas from other creative disciplines, & see how effective they are when creating comics?

I'm going to ask a perhaps strange question: please tell me, at the beginning of your career, was it hard for you to combine your regular job and drawing? I'm going down the same path, I'm afraid that work will not let me develop my creativity. How did you overcome this moment?
Very interesting. Thanks

I see there are some signed editions on Forbidden Planet website! Yum!
Great comments on AI. I feel similarly - it’s a new technology we’ll all adapt to, and I’d bet on humans even with the technology in place.

Looking forward to your London visit, Terry!
Looking forward to the chats this weekend!
... there's that "ice tea" again ...

They usually go up on the Friday the TM Live starts. I think at 10am Central Time.

Great question, deserves a real answer online. I'll try to answer it this weekend.
@@TerryMooreArt thank you!
Great question
