HOW TO TOUCH GRASS from @powerandmagic.bsky.social is a comics anthology about connection, isolation, and accessibility, all through the lens of the goofy command to "touch grass," balancing humor with sincerity. Check out the campaign here:

Genuinely can't wait for y'all to see the rest of this comic, Han has made some beautiful, only slightly bordering on body horror art

We crossed $18k this morning! Thank you so much to all the backers and the boosters!! #HowToTouchGrass www.kickstarter.com/projects/pow...

Every time I draw cartoon characters punching each other’s lights out, I’m actually encouraging and also literally doing violence. If I draw the Baba Yaga eating a baby, I’m literally advocating cannibalism and also doing meal-planning. Were Bluesky’s guidelines written by twelve-year-olds?

Some choice panels of incredible Ashley Wood art from our Batman Black and White story - The Crown of Twelve Tails. Still one of my favourite things I’ve ever done. Happy Batman Day! 🦇

As you cancel streaming services, here is a casual reminder that only 16% of Americans read for pleasure anymore, and your local library has hundreds or thousands of books you haven't read. They would love to see you stop by and renew your library card.

Together is the body horror rom-com we did not expect. Not only is the film’s tense nature something to review, but the lawsuit attached to it is bringing the film some not-so-savory publicity and controversy. Our site's review:

My newest piece is an homage to coffee culture and cafe goers everywhere! It’s an 18” x 24” print that I’m releasing in a limited edition of 250. There are 90 different figures in the drawing, drinking everything from iced coffee to matcha lattes. This labor of love took about 90 hours to create.

Here we go.

I remember I went to Forbidden Planet to buy the first issue of Coates Black Panther. Chadwick Boseman signed it. It's sealed in plastic and it's one of the few precious things I have.

Five years????!!! Here's Our Tribute from back then: Honoring The King: The BNP Family’s Tribute Piece Celebrating Chadwick Boseman We come bringing our flowers for the King. Chadwick Boseman (November 29, 1976– August 28, 2020) blacknerdproblems.com/honoring-the...

Remembering Chadwick Boseman (November 29, 1976– August 28, 2020)💙🕊️ #5Years

GOOD MORNING BLACKSKY!!! RIP Chadwick Boseman who passed 5 years ago today.

Here’s better reporting about that which seems to be missing from most U.S. reporting

In Echo Park, El Clasico Tattoo’s annual lowrider cruise and art show transforms the 17-year-old parlor into a vibrant, insider art gallery, showcasing over 67 artists and Chicano art. By Héctor Zaldívar The full story: lataco.com/el-clasico-t...

This is so amazing and I'm pinching myself because I'm part of this! What a great feeling! Congrants to the whole @blacknerdproblems.bsky.social

Yes, “Thursday, what a concept” yet here's some #throwbackthursday vibes: ‘The Black Experience’ is An Authentic Comic Offering On Being Black In America: A Review a fave comic by @jrsosa18.bsky.social (Art by Ahmara Smith) back in the day: blacknerdproblems.com/the-black-ex...

"Weirdo is not only a book geared for kids but a memoir as well. The most memorable children’s stories are the ones that respect the intelligence of their audience. Just because it’s geared toward children doesn’t mean they can’t understand deeper concepts"

One of the nice aspects of @blacknerdproblems.bsky.social winning the Hugo for Best Fanzine is that they're the first winner in that category that focuses on comic books. Comics have often gotten short shrift at Worldcon and at the Hugos. The graphic story category was only added in 2009.

this iconic advertising copywriter named Kathy Hepinstall Parks died over the weekend and I wanted to share something from her website I thought Bluesky would like

So overjoyed to learn that we have won a Hugo award this year! We are so grateful to everyone who helped make this happen & everyone who continues to visit the site,follow along with us on social media and keep BNP in mind as a place of creatives to keep in high regard! 1/2

Congratulations to @littlebadger.bsky.social @naomikritzer.bsky.social @robertjbennett.bsky.social @rebeccaroanhorse.bsky.social @blacknerdproblems.bsky.social @jordanscarroll.bsky.social @swantower.bsky.social @nghivo.bsky.social @dianapho.bsky.social And all the winners!
