News Summary: UK Comics Market Grows 14%; Survey Shows Creators Struggle Despite Industry Boom
I always enjoy reporting on comics and graphic novels. This is a huge part of our ecosystem, and one where indies can flourish, yet one that rarely gets the coverage it deserves. A new report on the industry has some very interesting findings. It suggests this is a market that is at once booming among readers (the market grew 14 percent in 2025) and driving creators to the edge.

They can't suppress us. They can't out passion us. So they're trying to gaslight consumers into believing that AI is a better option for creatives. But anyone who has interacted with a creative knows that is bs. Heck, AI can't even handle coding.
So what I'm trying to say is that as much as big tech is trying to push passion out of the creative arts, the creative arts will never leave the passion.

Creative Healing in South Africa: How Art Therapy Is Becoming a Powerful Tool for Mental Wellness
In a world that often separates logic from emotion, art therapy is proving that true healing happens when the mind and heart work together. In South Africa, this approach is gaining momentum, led by practitioners like Alisa Ray—one of the country’s first formally trained art therapists—who is helping reshape how we understand mental health, creativity, and personal growth. Her journey is more than a personal story. It reflects the rise of a new creative wellness industry—one that […] -

Doing some work on my site. Dropped all ebook prices to be $1 less than all other stores. Want to encourage and support folks buying direct. Still more money for me than if they buy elsewhere.
Adding non-signed paperbacks as well.

But they just want to torture us with their Trillion dollar toys...]

I'm thinking about Kamala Harris' campaign, which focuses a lot on strengthening the middle class (among other wonderful things). This is one of the things that must change. #WageTheft #CreativeEconomy #ContractWork #FreelanceWriting #Writing #AI Please share, and comment.

@ChrisMayLA6 The last Conservative Chancellor to really understand and advocate for the creative sector was Osborne, who was a more traditional (if extreme) economic Tory, rather than a high priest of the culture wars, who was paradoxically responsible for the deepest cuts (because the Arts are always the first to under austerity economics). The current government is of course a deviation from core Conservative values as well from rationality and that deviation is a cultural one towards an authoritarianism which is inherently intolerant of the artistic critique (note the recent Arts Council attempts to stifle political discourse). I spent ten years at the sharp end of trying to navigate growing mistrust and defunding of the arts and humanities under earlier varying administrations but the current nadir is unprecedented… and although I’m also deeply critical of pure instrumentalism I can’t expect any government to really understand value rationality!
Also worth remembering that the link between arts education and the creative economy is not so much poorly understood as wilfully ignored. It was ever thus, but the dying days of the current government are indeed extreme.
The Osborne paradox is beautifully captured here: https://amp.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2021/jun/29/george-osborne-british-museum-arts
