I was only able to sneak over to Artist Alley once during Comic con. It’s on the opposite end of the half a mile long hall. Unfortunately they’re on the other side of all the giant vendors like Lego, Hasbro, and Fox. These vendors had giant monitors and speakers and were all trying to blare louder than their neighbor. Poor artist alley was drowned out with all the noise. I did get to fangirl all over the ever elegant Wendy Pini of Elfquest. I even bought her latest book, but more on that later.

Banner Ads

So, the banner ads are gone.

We never really liked them outside of the fact they helped pay the bills. However given current happenings, we’re super not comfortable with them anymore.

In our household we have started boycotting certain companies, and meanwhile I see these same hyper-corps living (relatively) rent-free next to our art. It just doesn’t sit right. Why pester you, our readers, to funnel more of your money into the hands of greedy oligarchs?

I tried blocking the companies from advertising on the site, and it actually worked, but there were just so many companies to block. Even if I blocked them all, ultimately some of the big tech companies would still be profiting greatly, giving them yet more money to wield against our collective interests.

So I just pulled the plug.

I was expecting to feel some great anxiety, but instead it was a great relief.

As for what’s next? We don’t know.

We might use the space to promote other things in the future, or nothing at all, but for now it’ll be a message of thanks(that some of you may already be familiar with).

Thank you for your support.
