Anyone have anything fun to talk about today?

andycarolan,
@andycarolan@social.lol avatar

@mentallyalex Thanks, glad you found those pages useful.

Miro is a great collab environment... I use it on just about every project now.

It would be normal for a writer to have input in the illustrative design process, and this would be via feedback and iteration. As far as working with someone on such a project, I think it would depend on how much work is involved as to whether it's a straight hire or if licensing is a better route.

Oh yes, Miro is a better solution than emails for that ๐Ÿ˜…

andycarolan,
@andycarolan@social.lol avatar

@mentallyalex Well, I would say that licensing is an option. Another way of doing it would be a partnership, with each putting in the effort and funding it, with a share of the reward too. It's not something I've ever done however.

Thanks for your kind words about my work ๐Ÿ™

Haha yes! Coke but not a Coke lol ๐Ÿฅค

ROFL @ tens of readers! ๐Ÿ˜…

Oh yes, a high profile author would definitely get my attention... but I imagine my style is worlds away from that theme.

@mentallyalex Aww, thank you. I appreciate it!

I think sometimes, it's difficult for me to see my work being used in a particular way.

I had not heard of Witchboy, but just did a quick search. Love the art style! Apparently, being made into a Netflix title?

I just posted something on LinkedIn and now I feel dirty.

How long until the marketers slide into my DMs there? ๐Ÿ˜…

andycarolan,
@andycarolan@social.lol avatar

@mihobu Very true... I don't think most of them read my profile or skillset on there at all! @box464

@czottmann Yup, Iโ€™m not a fan of it either. It's so very fake.

The more I consider it, the more Iโ€™m leaning towards trading in my 2018 iPad Pro for a M2 iPad Air. I just canโ€™t quite bring myself to trading in my MacBook Air just yet. I want options.

andycarolan,
@andycarolan@social.lol avatar

@skoobz I have an M1 iPad Air and it's still lovely. Nice little tablet, although like all the iPads I've had, it's sorely underused.

andycarolan,
@andycarolan@social.lol avatar

@skoobz I guess it depends on what you use it for. I imagine the M2 Air is a significant improvement over the 2018 pro?

andycarolan,
@andycarolan@social.lol avatar

@skoobz I wondered if touch ID might be a pain, but its fine. I have caught myself glaring at it at times, expecting it to recognise my face, the way my iPhone does though haha.

โ€œWe noticed you recently tried to sign in to your LinkedIn account from a new device."

No, I didn't try... I succeeded.

And it's not a new device, dumbass platform ๐Ÿ˜…

andycarolan,
@andycarolan@social.lol avatar

@StanWonn They probably don't store device info... or at least, they pretend that they don't lol.

Something that I still can't get my head around on Mastodon... when I click on an accountโ€™s "Followers" or "Following" list, I can only see my own profile, maybe a few others if they are on the same instance. Is there any way around this? I feel that it's quite a barrier to finding interesting content ๐Ÿค”

I'm using Ivory, but I assume it's the same on other clients?

I really could use a long term contract.

While I love all the smaller jobs I'm doing, it's all very up and down.

People who have asked me for advice recently, I've discovered that they have now landed full time positions. No sour grapes of course, as I'm happy for them, but sometimes I really wonder what I'm doing wrong.

Oh well.
