🚨 ANNOUNCEMENT 🚨 Coming April 2026 RUFFIAN MEAT! art by: @soengery.bsky.social @michaelwalsh.bsky.social @plaest2k.bsky.social @planetsmudge.bsky.social @vor-bokor.bsky.social @connormakescomics.bsky.social Guest Writer @scumbelievable.bsky.social Pre save: www.kickstarter.com/projects/aar...

We're in the last week of the campaign, so now the sappy. This represents my hopes for being a comics writer. Over 7 years, I saved money waiting tables to afford an artist for the next story. It was slow. Often discouraging. I persisted. And now: this book. www.kickstarter.com/projects/kei...

We're in the last week! Please consider backing us today! www.kickstarter.com/projects/kei... @jocosejoni.bsky.social @ryanmaniulit.bsky.social @lanedraws.bsky.social @cullensart.bsky.social @jorgesantiagojr.bsky.social @gregerymiller.bsky.social @wyrmsfornerves.bsky.social @ryehickman.bsky.social

TODAY TODAY TODAY! Make your way to The Sheldon for a full day of independent art, writing, poetry, printmaking, and more! We can't wait to 👀 you! www.slicexpo.org/slice-2025/

It’s back-to-back convention weekends for me! I’ll be tabling at @slicexpo.bsky.social in St. Louis this Saturday for the first time. Come stop by and say hi!

Thrilled to be back at A2CAF: SIP this Saturday in Ann Arbor! This was my first convention two years ago (and now it’s my second too, lol) and it was the best event a first-timer could ask for. Come stop by and pick up a comic, stickers, or just to say hi!

THE KICKSTARTER IS LIVE FOR THE USUAL CHOICES! A 150+ page collection of short comics written by me, with a killer row of superb artists. From Lovecraftian sci-fi to existential autobiography, the collection returns to themes of love, death, gods, and monsters. www.kickstarter.com/projects/kei...

I'm thrilled to announce the pre-launch for The Usual Choices on Kickstarter! A collection of every self-published short comic I've written, The Usual Choices spans genres and styles, from fantasy to autobiography to horror. And it includes two brand new stories! www.kickstarter.com/projects/kei...

Artists working in mainstream USA comics: Marvel, DC, Dark Horse, Image, etc. all expect art to these dimensions. I'm seeing more and more disregard for the standard specs, and it affects everyone's deadlines to have production try and wrestle your art into proper proportions.

just saw someone sincerely arguing that they need AI bc they don't have "natural" artistic talent and idk how to make you understand that nobody comes by this shit naturally. it's just...work. it's being bad at it for a really, really, really long time. it's intention, pursued over time! wtf!!!

This page has a big button for you to email 20+ customer service departments at once with an (editable, if you like) prewritten letter. You can even do it from your phone! There's zero reason to not be participating in the pushback on this.

The Cartoonist Co-op stands against the censorship and pay discrimination of 18+, erotic, and NSFW artists. Check the link below for our official statement, ways to take action, and resources. cartoonist.coop/censorship-p... Art by @greedygulo.bsky.social

Fascists hate art because it allows people to experience the power of a fantasy: that things are not what they seem, that other people experience things the way you do, that a better world is possible. Imagination is a dangerous weapon when your main tactic is "because I said so"

So, I was laid off by my job this week after 13 years. Not only that, but it happened as bills from my recent heart attack-related medical visits come due. Because of that, I'm doing a big sale for SKTCHD/Off Panel related things, so now's a good time to subscribe if you can...because I need it!

It's so crazy how the comics, animation, and video games industries are wildly popular billion dollar profit type shit and yet there is no money and no jobs for the people who make that possible

Silver Sprocket, under owner Avi Ehrlich, made a name for itself as an artist-friendly comics publisher. Now it finds itself $300,000 in debt, embroiled in disputes, and teetering toward an uncertain future. What went wrong? A new report at @comicsjournal.bsky.social. www.tcj.com/high-debts-h...

i just find this so bizarre. searching through texts and doing the reading for myself is how i actually think through ideas! trying to put together a sentence is how i figure out what i actually want to say!

Did you attend NIF by purchasing a comic or going to a panel? If so, the NIF committee would love to hear from you! We have a feedback survey where you can anonymously tell us about your experience so we can make Nib & Ink Festival 2026 even better!! #NIF2025 docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...

Resharing this because e-sims are *still* needed in Gaza and the @cartoonist.coop continues its program of artists donating work to those who donate to help allow Gazans to communicate with each other & the wider world while fighting genocide Learn more and donate thru the link in the OG post!

Firmly back at the drawing board for the first time in a minute. Me, not Salamander, here’s there all the time.

i’m not an artist, i’m not an illustrator, but a stupider third thing: i’m a cartoonist

Wrote about the first-ever World Webtoon Festival for the @cartoonist.coop Journal because the English languages presses have been sleeping on it, and because webtoons is an overlooked medium in the mainstream West cartoonist.coop/journal/a-lo...

Now just two days away!

This week's NIF Roundup features 7 amazing members! First off: Ben Becker (@benmaxbecker.com), Vexx Daniel (@thenoirgal.bsky.social), Charles Brubaker (@bakertoons.com), MAXFOSTERSTUDIO (@maxfosterstudio.bsky.social). Read their interviews: cartoonist.coop/journal/ More links below! (1/2)

Gonna have to shoutout the @cartoonist.coop once again. On the Discord, there are passive ways to look up these things with search functions and the forum’s specific thread. If you don’t find anything, you can be direct and ask about specific publishers and see if we go rabid w/ praise or anger.

#HourlyComicDay 8M

I am doing #HourlyComicDay for the first time ever this year and am taking WAY too long. Will post some when I get more than one in the can!

Elephant shrew I got to draw for the @cartoonistcoop.bsky.social 's E-Sims for Gaza initiative.

Once again, I am asking, begging, pleading to know!

I may regret this but this app isn’t bot heavy so let’s try: Comics friends! I have a GN being published and well under way scripting. Unfortunately the last 6 artists we have asked are either not doing work of this length or unavailable. Know anyone (ideally diverse) with availability? Shout.

Just got the last 50 physical copies left of my comic COMBED CLAP OF THUNDER. After they’re gone, it likely won’t be reprinted (at least not for a long time). If you want to get one from me, possibly signed with a doodle: shop.emo-sludge.com/product/comb...

With only twenty minutes left in this year's SBCF, let's do a last minute roundup of our co-op member's comics and their insightful interviews! Not sure what to buy? Here's an easy list:

Okay, so I'm going to post a thread now about using Clip Studio Paint, about color settings, ICC color profiles, outputting to CMYK, getting 100% K in your blacks, etc. Technical shit. If you're struggling with this, read the thread. I'll reply to myself here, and it'll take a little time... 1/many
