Many thanks to my lovely panelists Jimmy Giegerich, @challengers.bsky.social @barkmouchard.bsky.social @markisan.bsky.social @tcannoncomics.bsky.social & all the attendees for making the first Comics and Metal at C2E2 such a great time! Video to be posted on my channel and pod feed this week!

Cheers. Here's to many more.

Here's the cover to Big Shoulders #2! @j-dudley.bsky.social is on the campaign trail right now at Chicago's C2E2 convention, so go say hello if you're there. Look for more info here: www.bigshoulderscomic.com

The art and story in this are incredible. Pick up both issues, folks.

I know Superman/Spiderman is out today, but don’t forget there are other books like this one still coming. Start the pull list.

Chatting w/ @deannadestito.bsky.social on #creatorcorner. All this AND Lucy Von Gorman in her first recorded interview w/ matching animal print outfits. #comics #comicbookschool

Check out Colin Lor’s incredible logo for MAD CASTLE, a new comic by Colin Lor and myself! And if you dig this free preview available via the link, consider helping us hit 35 pre-launch followers. Reposts for reach greatly appreciated: www.kickstarter.com/projects/184...

The cover to the 5th issue of IS TED OK? hit the internets this morning so I figured I'd share here. We haven't met this character yet but, don't worry, she's cool. As usual, avoid the solicits/blurbs of future issues if you want to go in fresh, free of any spoilery stuff.

The final cover from Mike Norton and Wesley Wong colors!! Will you get in one last pit!? #comics #comicbooks #indiecomics #kickstarter www.backerkit.com/call_to_acti...

As a depressed younger artist, my storytelling sometimes suffered. I just couldn't conjure up feelings & images the story needed. Over time I found some strategies for staying professional even when I wasn't feeling it. Thread:

Doctor Dooooooooooooom.

Looking for a colorist for a (small, 5 page) paid comics gig. It calls for vivid / cosmic level splash. Anyone out there looking for color work? Or know anyone? Also, with color on the mind lately,I wrote this piece on my Making Comics substack… open.substack.com/pub/makingco...

IS TED OK? issue 2 trailer! Sound on—what an incredible song by Jay William Henderson. The last day to preorder is MONDAY MARCH 2. Don’t miss out!!!! Call your local comic shop!!

The countdown continues! If you couldn’t tell, I am beyond excited for this book to drop. Paranoia! Weirdness! Surveillance! Paganini! Cats! IS TED OK? hits comic shops in six days.

What I really like about this panel is that Giovannini wasn't worried about the guy's head disappearing into the tree branches – he just thought, "Fuck it, it's a drawing, I'll just put a big halo around him." Anything can work in a comic. That's why they're better than movies.

Rex! #toystory #pixar #artwork #inkdrawing

Oooo spooky.

Mad Castle #1 Preview (KS pre-launch link below!): First dates are tense. Less so when they don’t include a trip through the Mad Castle. If only these two were so lucky…

For those interested in original art, my lovely wife @francescafantini.bsky.social is offering her hand-painted cover artwork for HOSPICE: TUNNEL OF LOVE's @kickstarter.com project!

I’m quite happy with my writing in POTL #3. Give these first 5 pages a read if you have a minute. I’ve just added this full issue as free to read on Global Comix. @doncardenasart.bsky.social and I took a hundred bold swings in this issue. Read POTL 1-3 right here: globalcomix.com/c/packs-of-t...

How about another Friday cover reveal?! We wanted to do something unique for our first time in retail stores, but funds are tight. Thankfully the amazing @jonathanlamantia had offered to do a sick color version of his sensational cover! Thanks JLM 🤘🏻💜🤘🏻 Up for retail preorder now at you favorite LCS!

Go! Go! Go!! This series rocks, and this is your opportunity to get the full volume

Better late than etc….

Packs of the Lowcountry is a story about resisting the urge to bunker down from a monstrous world. By myself and @doncardenasart.bsky.social I’ve added the 2nd chapter as free to read via Global Comix. You can access it (and the 1st chapter!) right here: globalcomix.com/read/cab058f...

Packs of the Lowcountry #1 (of six) was just added to Global Comix to read digitally (for free!). This was the first full length comic I ever completed and I still maintain that it’s one hell of a fun ride: globalcomix.com/read/5b919eb...

After 3+ years, I have FINISHED this chapter on the origin of the universe!! A circuitous journey that has led to our home, in which that history of the universe is carried (and in all of us). This page recaps key moments & points forward to the next chapter - Life. Onward... #Nostos #Unflattening 2

The Muppet Show teaser includes Sabrina Carpenter with Miss Piggy and Seth Rogen with Fozzie Bear, and looks perfect?

There’s a Metaphor in this 🤔

I kept my twit-act in part because I’d been documenting progress on my new book since its beginning. As I fully phase out twix, sharing some past posts here as I go. This was the first finished spread - part of 22pg 15ft long continuous sequence retelling the Odyssey! Onward! #Nostos #Unflattening 2

Wrote a post about writing comic book scripts for artists. Features some illustrative examples shared by @mattfraction.bsky.social, as well as amazing examples from @scott1gray.bsky.social @parttimecomix.bsky.social and a few others. Check it out: open.substack.com/pub/makingco...

nobody has the capacity to continually worry about media enshittefication when it is so far out of our control and the damage already beyond repair, but supporting independent and original art at every level is a viable counterbalance
