I started this a while ago but never finished / shared because i thought it was boring and needed a subject, but hey if it's just gonna be a cute lil PNW-coded postcard so be it. What would YOU add to this landscape!?

This is Yves! Prickly, mean, and yet ultimately more pathetic than monstrous, her relationship with Dragonfly is, in summary, complicated. Anticipate some juicy toxic yuri 😌 You can preorder UNLIMITED COMBAT DOLLS here: tinylesbianrobot.itch.io/unlimited-co... www.amazon.com/dp/B0FNCDLSDT

My book, Caribbean Inhospitality, considers what Caribbean literature, film, and digital culture can tell us sovereignty and belonging, especially in our current global crisis. I start with the Caribbean’s violent origins as a place of hospitality to strangers and look to the present.

Please remember that the disgust people have over Christopher Columbus is not based on some modern, 21st century “woke” ideology, but rather on contemporaneous accounts of atrocities that make many modern genocides appear quaint in comparison. Below, are the accounts of Bartlomé de las Casas.

alright i've been having a lot of issues with my adhd meds. i apologize for dropping off the face of the earth—i haven't forgotten about anyone's comms. i'm seeing my psych to get my shit sorted out next friday but i will be trying to make progress in the interim.

im trying my best to claw my way out of burnout. coping with my special cocktail of neurodivergence without therapy this year has been exhausting in ways i can't describe. i can't keep up with the demands life keeps making of me but i can't just stop trying either.

Throwback to the time i wrote a joke "one-page game" called HOBBYJOB RPG: YOUR HOBBY IS YOUR JOB in an effort to capture the vibe of the freelancer/self employed lifestyle

@schweizercomics.bsky.social haha sorry for liking a million of your posts at once, you give good advice that keeps me motivated to do my best!!

where did you go

The trick I've found to be the most useful when designing a story's cast is not just to work them up in silhouette (ensuring that they read differently at a foundational level), but to start with literal shapes. You can more easily spot the means to differentiate similar components (like armor).

having a really bad week. sorry for the timing of it all

Happy Letterer Appreciation Day! Each year on September 1st—Gaspar Saladino’s birthday—we celebrate the invaluable contributions that letterers make to the comic book industry!

People literally bled & died fighting against corporate interests, robber barons, corrupt local & state politicians, cops & hired killers, & the federal government & US military for better working conditions for the rest of us so reflect on that today for just a bit while you're doing whatever else.

Sometimes we’re unsatisfied with a thing we made because when it only existed in our head, we saw all the things it could have been and when it’s done we know all the things that it isn’t, but we can’t see the way it expands into a million new things when someone else unpacks it in their head. 🖊️🦑

Since the reprint of my graphic novella CRY WOLF GIRL came out this week, I'll do a little thread talking about the visual development process! Buy the book here: store.silversprocket.net/products/cry...

off season has finally hit at my day job so i get an additional day off now. new things coming soon...

Been a year. Time to repost this.

Lil Nas X deserves more shows of solidarity and support from the LGBTQ+ community. Lil Nas is a Gay man facing an unjust arrest and imprisonment over a mental health crisis. Gay men are unfairly targeting lately, and Black Gay men are targeted by racist policing and homophobia. Nas deserves support!

Kirby was such a great artist, of course, because he inhaled other comic book artists and gained their abilities.

today's my birthday! Here's a fresh new compilation of my custom-made logo designs — sharing it would be a cool gift for me today 😌 thank you all for your continious support, my work keeps me going these days and I hope to continue making cool designs on the next loop around the Sun 🙏

of course now that i have them my adhd meds arent working. im going insane being unable to focus. the earliest my doctor can get me in to talk about alternatives is next thursday 💀

happy butch appreciation day to fat butches, hairy butches, butches of colour, cross dressing butches, non binary and transmasc butches, he/him butches, and every other kind of butch that experiences hatred and animosity from not just the cishets but other queer people. i see you and i love you

I pride myself on my professionalism in comics. I don't talk shit about books I don't enjoy. I am happy when folks get gigs even if I wish I landed them. So when I say the transphobic bullshit in the new BLOODSHOT #1 comic is disgusting and should have never made it to print. Shameful shit.
