If you're going to be in Memphis on 11/1, feel free to come see @jartravian.bsky.social and I at the #midsouthcomicandfantasyconvention! We're doing a panel titled 'Get Started and Worry About the Rest Later' about getting started on your creative projects. #writing #art #paneldiscussion

Spooky time.

I always say that ink is cheap and I like to give people their money's worth. This project will use all the ink there is.

Come on out to the #bookfair Sat Jul 12 from 12-7! We’d love to see you. #minnesota #statefair #booksky We are ready!! (Excuse our weird tablecloth. Table longer than expected, had to improvise).

I have a book of short stories on sale for $0.99. Take a chance for once in your life. a.co/d/a78mZp3

I'm going to have a sale on a collection of stories starting tomorrow. You can get the whole eBook copy for $0.99. a.co/d/8U6KesF

15 hours to go. The project is funded, so thanks everyone who backed it. Very much looking forward to the release! #writing #GalacticPestControl www.kickstarter.com/projects/gal...

Just a gentle reminder that the stories in this issues kick so much ass. And...supporting the zine is supporting writers you since we're paying for stories and art out of our own pockets. Every dollar helps! #indiepublishing #zine #payforart ko-fi.com/s/5096151d18

A couple comic pages I did to practice for an upcoming project. Don't worry, I won't be writing that one.

This is my personal favorite story from the collection, but they're all great. Not only is A Machine for Hugs a fine piece of literature, but it is a handy, indispensable tool during these hot summer months. Fan yourself with it, smack a mosquito with it, and it fits right into your back pocket.

Shooty time. Poor footage of a good game played poorly.

I've got a new story titled Body and Blood coming out June 15 at Carnage House! Great people over there keeping the Splatterpunk flame burning. Check it out if you have a minute! #writing #horror #PeopleEatingPeople CarnageHouse.com

I picked up this blue Game Boy Pocket in trade, and thought it was bizarre that it had a green screen instead of the usual grey one. Apparently one way to repair a burned-in polarizer is to swap it with one from a DMG, making the screen green. Very neat.

Check out the Kickstarter for this anthology I've been accepted in. There are going to be some bangers in this collection, plus it's being put together by the longest running science fiction publication in the universe! www.kickstarter.com/projects/gal...

One of the signs of the Final Days is me actually bagging some comics. The end is nigh, sorry.

We’re doing a 48-hour fundraiser for Trans Lifeline (translifline.org) in our Ko-fi shop. Please SHARE! ko-fi.com/slothenvypre... Post 1/3 For every digital copy of Toad Shade Zine purchased, $1 will go to Trans Lifeline. TSZ is $2.00 & packed with stories & art. Available worldwide.

If you want to be cool and sophisticated, pick up a copy (or eight!) of the latest issue of Toad Shade Zine. There is literally no better way on the planet to spend five dollars.

All the stories have been selected for Issue 3! The layout process always makes me question my intelligence and organizational skills, but the newest issue will be complete this week, barring any last minute issues. #indiepress #zine #payforart #FuckAI

Just a quick note that we'll have judging wrapped on Issue 3 this week, but if you want to see issues 1 & 2, feel free to head over to ToadShadeZine.com and order some. They ship in the mail, so by the time you get it, you'll have forgotten you ordered it. It'll be a surprise you give yourself!

If anyone cares about this stuff, here are pics of the original drawing. Look close to see my awful blue pencil scribbles. This was done on Deleter manga paper with a fountain pen, brush pen, and Sharpie, with some white gel pen here and there.

We got author copies of our 2 novellas today!! So exciting to unbox them. I didn't even make it out of the building lobby before I sold two. Allow me to weep with joy! S&E website has all the pre-order links to the many places for paperbacks & e-books. 💙📚 #romanclandia slothandenvy.com?page_id=138

Much has been accomplished this weekend by Team Sloth & Envy. Pre-orders being launched on multiple platforms (some currently still under review so links pending), but we're looking nice on Itch! slothandenvy.itch.io A Machine for Hugs & Stone Heart are up and running! 📚💙 #writingcommunity

This is all I did this morning. Please be more productive. youtu.be/WnOx0TQLKhE?...
