Hmmm. turned 8 today!
Let me clarify:
Groups crits, or crits that are asked for (“hey, can you look at this?”) are helpful and necessary to improve.
However, magically appearing behind someone who is working and expressing all your thoughts and feelings about their art will make me want to stab you with the pencil I am working with.
Agreed. Pencil death to these people.

There is no greater annoyance than to force a man to listen to what you say merely because you think you know what you are talking about.

Welcome to the future.
Turn your hand over dummy, you have an email.
Why are you looking at your watch while you’re holding your goddamn phone you dipshit. Look at your phone. Not the watch. The phone.
Fine. Be that way. Touch the watch with your only hand without technology. Consider buying another phone for your non-phone hand. Perhaps it’s lonely without a phone to hold.
You recorded this with your Google Glass, didn’t you?
Why am I even asking, of course you did.
Friggin genius.

Sowing His Oats: An Interview With Matthew Inman
Yes, I’m linking to Penthouse, but it’s a good interview by Kara Wahlgren of Matthew Inman, better known as The Oatmeal. In particular, I like this part:
Wahlgren: I noticed you have comments disabled on your website.
Inman: I used to think it was an integral part of being a writer or artist—that you have to read comments, and you have to react to them, and you have to mold your work around them. But that doesn’t make me a better artist—if anything, it just makes me doubt myself. So I just don’t read any of it, because I can’t help focusing on that one negative one where some guy writes something awful. I’ve found that my comics are becoming more and more of a rhetorical performance. I just want to draw things that I hope are funny and put them on the web, and that’ll be the extent of the communication, to preserve my own sanity more than anything.
It’s official: everyone hates comments.
Word.

The East Coast is like a family of brothers, you have New York, the spoiled, overachieving oldest sibling, and Boston, the smart kid. Philadelphia is the one who’ll throw a punch on your behalf.
