Thank you @brokenfrontier.bsky.social for including YOUNG MEN IN LOVE: NEW ROMANCE in their nominations for Best Anthology for 2025. They also nominated @letteringbear.bsky.social for Best Letterer, who lettered the entirety of YMiL:NR!

Surprise! Look who's nominated for Best Letterer on the @brokenfrontier.bsky.social Awards 2025? And I honestly couldn't be in better company: Hassan, Becca, Rob & Rus are truly inspiring artists killing it in every book they letter. What an honor! (Find the voting link in the comments) 1/3

Oh hey, YOUNG MEN IN LOVE: NEW ROMANCE got a nomination too! That’s so cool! Thanks so much @brokenfrontier.bsky.social @awaveblueworld.com

A fan at #nycc completed the scavenger hunt 🔎 They got their copy of Young Men in Love: New Romance signed by the six creators set up in Artist Alley: @jarrettmelendez.bsky.social @jacobysalcedo.bsky.social @gregandelysee.bsky.social @tylerchintanner.bsky.social Bradley Clayton & Al Ewing!

All set up at #nycc! Thought I’d take some photos of the calm before the storm. It’s my favorite time to walk around the show floor. Probably not going to get much of a chance to walk around once it starts. Find me in Artist Alley D-04 Thursday-Sunday.

Going to #nycc this weekend? You can get Young Men in Love signed✍🏽 by at least 5 creators! Bring your own or pick up a copy at the show from these creators and get us all to sign it! Copies also available at our table D-04. See you there! @jarrettmelendez.bsky.social @jacobysalcedo.bsky.social

Only 1 week until #nycc! We’ll be set up in Artist Alley, table D-04. We’re limited to a 6’ table, so it’ll only be @tyler_awbw (and maybe Moo too) at this table. But so many more of the creators we work with will have their own table. Look 👀 for more info on that soon!

Day 2 of #ic3tober: Savage Dragon I don’t know why this pose came to mind when I thought of this character. Had to get some reference for those muscles. Good thing I had a mirror handy 😉

First day of #ic3tober! Had a lot of fun draw CEREBUS. Thought I’d try out the greytone markers on this, with just a pop of color. @indiecomicscreator.bsky.social

One piece of good news yesterday was my comp copies finally arrived from the States for Young Men in Love: New Romance, so I’ve finally seen how it turned out :) Thanks to @awaveblueworld.com for putting it together and sending it out. Very happy with it :)

Day 2 of opening the store with an upside down “We’re open” sign 🪧 I am going to return it and get a new one, but it seemed appropriate for the first week 😏

Trying to open the store, but not sure how this is supposed to work. Am I missing something here or did I just get sent a defective sign?

Swung by Postmark Books to see @yourfriendjesse.bsky.social and the new store space (they moved down the street). Good to see so many AWBW books on display including both Young Men in Love ❤️anthologies with The Color of Always 🌈, as well as the Broken Frontier anthology face out on a shelf.

Spent some time today putting together a new toy for the shop: an industrial cart w/ mail bins (blue of course) to hold lots of packages 📦 ready to be mailed off!

NEW ONE-SHOT: #Ozma The Trans Witch of Oz launches on @Kickstarter on 8/25! 🏳️‍⚧️ A comic adaptation about one of the most Trans-Coded characters in fiction — one that skips the subtext and makes Ozma a CANONICAL #TRANS WOMAN! Follow here ⬇️ www.kickstarter.com/projects/com...

I just backed Sink to the Top by @joecorallo.bsky.social & @chasebluestone.bsky.social They’re almost near their goal! Go check it out: www.kickstarter.com/projects/blu...

Rescued this old marker display rack. Spent a few hours cleaning off the dust, but now it’s looking pretty good! Don’t know if I’ve got enough markers to fill it all, but I can get a good variety in there & room for box sets at the bottom. What are the best sketch & acrylic markers you’ve used?

Last Call for the White Ash annuals 1 & 2 kickstarter by @charliestickney.bsky.social. This is a great series ⚔️ You can easily start w/ these annuals (as I first did) or get a “catch up bundle” to start from the beginning. But hurry, it’s almost over! www.kickstarter.com/projects/the...

We have a new home! And it will be open to the public on August 26.

Got some fancy, new decal signs for the store. Put the WC Art logo above the art bar🥤and the AWBW logo above the bookcase 📚 and both of them on the glass door entrance. Shout out to Brooklyn Decal for the installation, Pete Carlsson for the WC logo, and @timdanielcomics.bsky.social for the AWBW logo

Great looking project from a couple of Young Men in Love creators ⤵️
