Will you be in Honolulu, Hawaii this weekend? Yes… No? Then come see me at the Hawaii Pop Con at the Blaisdell Center! I’ll have Pirates: A Graphic History, Draw-A-Saurus and lots of original art.

Oh... wait.

Everyone wanting to write AND draw their own graphic novel needs to look at this, and plan your finances/side-gigs accordingly. The advance money reeeeally doesn't go as far as you think it does.

Recieved my Kickstarter commission from @silvaniart.bsky.social and now my wall is complete. If you haven't read Pirates: a Graphic History, you're missing out on a blimey good time.

Back in the box with you…

Peter Jackson while editing Return Of The King- “The end of this movie shall go on for another hour after it could have ended!” The Duffer Brothers- “Hold my beer.”

First homemade pizza of the year is on point!

Going into 2026 like…

Please, if you have a dog, stay home tonight. Close up the house tight. Before the booms start, put your dog in the bathroom with his bed and a portable speaker. Streaming services all have white noise channels. Play it loud but not overwhelming. The only thing that works for my skittish dog. 🐾

…And the world would never be the same.

Share a cartoon you will always love

Name three comics you've owned in at least three editions. -Love & Rockets (original floppies, trade collection and Locas 1 and 2 hardcover collections) -Bone (original floppies, hardcover volumes 1-9 and Scholastic color) -The Goon (original floppies, trades, omnibus collections)

Waiting for 2025 to end.

I was playing with my dogs on the beach when Sheryl Crow and Lance Armstrong were walking by. She said hello and petted my dogs, he kept walking.

If you see this, re-post with your model of positive masculinity.

My walls are filled with @silvaniart.bsky.social’s art. No surprise: this book is fantastic, and so is the Pirate Scrooge James drew inside my copy! 🎩 🦆 🏴‍☠️

How I’m walking out of 2025

I know y’all are probably sick of me talking about this but I finished and fulfilled my first Kickstarter project before the end of the year alongside working on a kickass Disney Afternoon project!

Thank you for your support! Glad you like it… yes? No?

...And my fucking axe!

My Mount Rushmore of cartoonists is made up of Schulz, Segar, Barks and this gentleman…

I have the coolest wife…

It should be considered a Christmas Crime that neither Muppet Family Christmas or John Denver and the Muppets: A Christmas Together are available outside of grainy YouTube videos

And Tiny Tim, who did NOT die, looks right into you. Right into your eyes. You know the thing about Tim is he’s got lifeless eyes. Black eyes. Like a doll’s eyes. When he comes at ya, doesn’t seem to be livin’… until he bites ya, and those black eyes roll over white.

Christmas Eve tamales acquired! A Christmas miracle since I’m out in the middle of the Pacific Ocean!

Found your Christmas present

Show me how your 2025 went

How I'm turning up to the bluesky Christmas party

Holy Hardcover! I can’t wait to read this!

The last of my commission tiers are ready to ship so my Kickstarter fulfillment is complete. If you missed out on the kickstarter for Pirates: A Graphic History, you can grab a copy at silvaniart.com/store

I think if we added one more “memorial” I wouldn’t hate it.

The #1 movie when you were 10 years old is how your 2026 is going to go. Looks about right.

For them last minute gift ideas might I recommend Pirates: A Graphic History (But Not THAT Kind Of Graphic). It's a comedic chronicle of crafty corsairs and other cruel, clammy crooks. Everything inside is 127% true! Get yours now at silvaniart.com/store

Convention commission dump! I always like a challenge of requests for things I don’t normally draw.

The glare from my neighbor’s cybertruck reminds me daily of the idiocy that lives next door to me.

Tidying up the office…

My parents had three different newspapers delivered daily. Most kids my age had to be dragged out of bed but I would wake up early just so I could grab the papers to read the comics before anyone else.

"I don't care what anyone says, I like that movie."

@silvaniart.bsky.social Thank you! Everything arrived safely in France. I’m so glad I backed the project!

Walking into 2026

Me: “I’m okay” Also me:

This week’s orders of Pirates: A Graphic History and original art are on their way! Still time to have them shipped for Christmas or for some poor yahoo whose birthday is the last week of December. Head to silvaniart.com/store to order yours!

“Thank god AI is here to answer my questions!” -Said by no customer ever.

So dogs don’t know they’re going to the vet until you’ve pulled into the parking lot but cats will go to ground under the largest bed in the house a full 3 weeks before their appointment.

“She says you’re a big, ugly girl!” These kind of commissions are always fun to do. NYCC.

Hey BlueSky, where do you go these days for comics news and reviews? I haven't been paying attention since the days of Newsarama and CBR. I'm looking to get my pirate book in some influential hands.

Catching up on some reading… @hotelfred.bsky.social @eric-powell-comics.bsky.social @danielwarrenart.bsky.social
