Whenever we go to a convention, Emmett always grills me for some characters he can sketch to pass the time away, and inevitably the whole front of our booth gets papered in them. Here's some of my favorite requests (for sale at our store!) captaintempestweekly.etsy.com

Dear Everyone Who Has Ever Worked On Plants Vs Zombies… we got fan mail.

It bugs the hell out of me that so many of the Republicans answer the hard questions with, "I don't know. It's literally my job to know, and I don't. Every single American knows, except me, the man whose job it is to know. Next question."

Of course I studied the classics

For some reason I'm seeing my art of THE SPIDER doing the rounds — The Spider is of course my favorite pulp hero, being as he is a cackling psycho who dresses like a scary witch to kill gangsters with his girlfriend

@jpawlik.com takes us on their Hourly Comics Day as they sell their handmade sex stories at a comics convention with their partner! Will it be worth all the trouble? Does anybody even want sexy trans comics at a normal con?? READ ON TO FIND OUT! www.ohjoysextoy.com/selling-sexy...

Sorely needed.

you can see the MAD cover so clearly, Alfred E. Neuman peeing on Trump with the text "WHO's in the ECCH-Stein Files?"

Chapter 4, Page 47: The Man on the Flying Trapeze captaintempest.com/comic/183-th...

I’d forgotten all the weird bits of fish business and mermaid machinery I’d snuck into all those backgrounds. Looks like I was having fun with this one!

Another great @floatingworld.bsky.social find: a collection of writings, interviews and media by and about Hayao Miyazaki from 1997-2008. This motherfucker wrote poems about his world that appear nowhere in the finished media just to understand how this world talks to itself

My wife and I take the baby to breakfast with us but he doesn’t really know what that is yet so…

A new chapter of NEXT DOOR DUNGEON is live! Go there and love it! (although read previous chapters because context is important, you know, and so is characterization, and learning to live with and accept ~ even adore ~ other people for who they are. www.royalroad.com/fiction/1507...

It can get lonely out in space... ...or on a Kickstarter campaign! Come in out of the cold and check out the latest TREKKER OGN. You'll get my finest work, and help support passion-fueled, creator-owned indie comics. Sounds like a win-win! Trekkerkickstarter.com

My primary influence on this would have been Charles Dana Gibson, but I’m sure I had works by Arthur Rackham, JC Coll, Daniel Vierge, James M Flagg and others next to my drawing board.

Huge, HUGE congrats to Sara Ryan @ryansara.bsky.social, whose novel Mountain Upside Down is. nominated for the 2026 Oregon Book Award for Middle Grade/Young Adult Literature! www.oregonlive.com/living/2026/...

I just spent three hours solving a ten-second problem I do fifty times a day. Math says this pays off in approximately never, but I don't care. I feel invincible. I built a robot to fix my comic lettering. www.patreon.com/posts/i-buil...

Thank you, @charliemcelvy.bsky.social “...the magic of TREKKER is the character- driven narrative throughout... Mercy St. Clair stands out as one of the best sci-fi heroes anywhere in comics” --Charlie’s Crowdfunding Corner TrekkerKickstarter.com

The most dangerous game: Superman's Pal Jimmy Olsen vs a gorilla. All the cool stuff of an original page from the Eisner-winning Superman’s Pal Jimmy Olsen series, but Steve Lieber @stevelieberart.bsky.social is actually willing to sell it. helioscopepdx.etsy.com/listing/4433...

Congratulations to all!!! And I'm really honored that MOUNTAIN UPSIDE DOWN is an Oregon Book Award finalist, in such excellent company!

Found some xeroxes of a story I drew & lettered a million years ago. Script by @ericshanower.bsky.social from a story by Ruth Plumly Thompson. Back then I was always looking for an excuse to draw like my favorite pen & ink illustrators from the golden age of book & magazine illustration. (Cont)
