Daniel Everett - Conversations with a Computer (2008)
Artist’s statement:
“Contained within the operating system of Mac computers is a rudimentary electronic psychotherapist program.
Meant to simulate a Rogerian therapist, it engages the participant in a cyclical conversation by taking his or her statements and roughly reconfiguring them into questions.
I met with this program three times a week for a month in order to discuss my fear that I was disappearing completely. These are three stills from our conversations.”
Presented without comment, because I’m sure someone will be able to find the words better than I can.
oh look we have cute doodles too
Yesyesyes to response.

People keep telling me I’m “not that fat”, like being fat is a bad thing. I’m well aware and you telling me that I’m not only makes me think less of you.
But… But… you’re pretty.*
*Thing actually said to me by a well-meaning friend after me telling her yes, yes I am. Because clearly being fat and being pretty are mutually exclusive, so if in her mind I was pretty, in turn that meant I couldn’t possibly be fat. Which I am.

With the arrival of the new issue this morning, we’re almost set for Wednesday’s launch party in Sparkle Horse. Hope you can join us! We’re going for an arts and crafts theme, and will have a supply of materials for making friendship bracelets and badges, as well as the usual drink n draw. As it’s a Wednesday night, the ladies from Hobby Horse craft club will also be there so feel free to bring along any other craft projects you have on the go! Cross-stitchers Stitch Kitsch will also be selling their craft wares, alongside comic stalls from Braw Books, Black Hearted Press and Gary Erskine.
My hand modelling career starts here.
Also, here is a thing happening that you should come to.

Hey Tumblr!
You are never gonna believe this.
Sometimes when you click the source on an image you might actually find the person who made it and more of their work!
Yea I know right?!
Seriously though, this came to my attention after one of my illustrations hit 50,000 notes and I…
And if the source has been removed, oh look, an extension to make it even easier to find out where an image came from. I’ve discovered so many cool comic creators/illustrators/artists/poets/creative types through Tumblr by clicking links back to their own blogs, it genuinely confuses me why some folk seem to actively want artists whose work they like to remain undiscovered.

Issue 7 has been sent to the printers! Featuring the usual mix of long-time contributors and new comic artists, and a stunning cover design by Penny Sharp, we think this issue is one of our best yet. Keep an eye out for sneak previews over the next couple of weeks, and for details of our Glasgow launch event.
How AWESOME is this cover? It took me a full ten minutes to decide if I liked it. (I do)
Last year I designed a tote bag for Team Girl Comic. It’s so cool to see people wearing your artwork! We’re on our second batch already, and you can now order them online for just £5 from the TGC website.
