inner sanctum crew: just uploaded this weeks sketchbook to patreon. this week its high level esoteric suburbanism. check it out

also gonna briefly post about my patreon situation for people that are not on there, just want to describe exactly what it is and whats going down
first up just wanna say i really truly love inhabiting this strange ideosphere with you guys (a lot), so frankly i really try as hard as possible not to "shill", i only post about my patreon once a week (when i upload stuff), really dont want to seem like im pumping it too hard.
that being said i really am trying (honestly like 24/7) to produce visuals that will elevate or enhance whatever you want to call this weird scene we have, and that will get our ideas out in new and cool ways, or that are just fun or interesting, so, thats why my patreon exists.

random sunday morning thoughts: im starting to think, beyond the obvious and beyond the meme of it, that something actually is "up" with modern rock music. [...]
was thinking about how many friends ive had and people ive known that really care about nothing... except music industry sanctioned bands and artists. these people often arent musicians themselves, so its completely unlike a painter being obsessed with another painter.
so many tie ins from popular bands to weird alphabet intelligence agencies, lots of rock artists very into the occult, seems obvious but maybe there is something deeper there beyond the surface level analysis. [...]

i get off the highway in saturn indiana and head to the shell gas station. i casually mention the "coincidental" sync up between the ancient pilgrim symbol of the scallop shell and the big sign outside to the cashier. he extends his hand palm up, i give him a chariot tarot card.
he inspects it. it has all the correct signatures and markings. he flips the open sign to closed and we walk to the back of the store where a door that says ICE opens from the inside, revealing a small vault of various trinkets: gold saturn sculptures, silver goat figurines
i pretend to inspect the wares of this covert bazaar, picking up items and turning them over in the cold fluorescent lights. theres a noise near the front of the store. the attendant looks away and i slide a small magnetic plate with an image of st cyprian under the bottom shelf

Here's a small business thread.

Read this ESPECIALLY if you SELL using social media.

Here we go.

Everyday I see people post things here for sale - beauty products, perfumes, watches, services, etc.

And 99.9% of the posts all look the same - boring, bland, uninspiring (1)
Here's what many people who sell on social media don't know:

1. The attention span here is very very short. Once something looks like more of the same, it's easy to ignore it, or not even notice it at all.

When your posts to sell your product/service looks and reads like... (2)
more of the same, it sails away unnoticed like a ship in the night,buried by the hundreds of new tweets and posts that show up on the timelines each time people hit refresh.

So what do you do to get noticed?

Here's what to do.

Do you really want to know?

Yes?

Okay...

Let me address some things about relationships & social media real quick before I go to bed.

1. I honestly feel if you love your partner and you’re getting them gifts or showing them acts of love, social media doesn’t have to know except they post it themselves.
2. Since when did posting your partner on social media become a form of validation? For all I know, even if they post you 24/7, if it’s going to fail, it’s going to fail. Work more on the inward appearance with your partner than the outward appearance...
...you do not have to post their pictures to be valid. They do not have to post your pictures to be valid. I see people fighting about posting on social media like they’re in relationships just to show the world. Fam. That is wrong.

I hate that this needs to be posted, but here we go. The comic industry isn't dying. Sales aren't imploding. The most true thing about comics right now is that little has changed in the last 10-20 years. And that IS a problem... just not the problem we hear about. #comics /1
I completely get why some things are discouraging. Comics feel like they have changed a lot over the last ten years in particular, but in many ways comics have played it safe more than taken risks. But to a lot of readers the recent past is pretty disheartening. I get it. /2
Part of the problem is us. Me. You. We have access to a huge amount of content that 20-30 years ago was a bit harder to get. This means that amazing comics are at our beck and call whenever we want. It also means that the monthly crop of comics has no prayer of stacking up. /3

Yesterday I talked about comic shops, and what more could be done to help. I wanted to THANK @Ssnyder1835, @GailSimone and @bryanedwardhill for their help in getting word out, and anyone please chime in with thoughts or arguments. Today I wanted to hit another topic... #comics /1
I mentioned yesterday that the number one “poison pill” for a book is silence. I have endless evidence to prove this statement, from @comichron and their numbers to the effect simple marketing and promotion does for a book. Noise helps. Silence hurts. Not exactly a new idea. /2
But (and here’s where I will get some argument I’m sure), one of the big themes of the last year has been the social media “presence” by creators, with a lot said about political or aggressive statements being a big turn off to readers. But that impact is very questionable. /3
