@ronmarz.bsky.social and I talk writing, and his amazing comic book career. He clarifies the world of video game writing for me. We discuss the value of travel, his passion for prose, and how he remains engaged with his craft. open.substack.com/pu... Links in bio #podcast

Love this!

I feel as if I check Instagram enough, but every time I log on, there's another show-stoping piece by Brian Bolland at the top of my feed. Either I'm on the SAME schedule as the man, or IG is dolling them out to me so I keep coming back.

Can't wait!

Dear @bsky.app, What are the reasons for not allowing tagging someone in a post image? Why do I ask? Promoting people in the body of the post, uses valuable characters. Sincerely, Curious in the Mountains

I think I've deciphered the magic behind Aron's work. There's an inaccuracy to our memories and feelings that only increase the earlier we delve. Here, our creative subconscious fills in the gaps. Aron's paintings and drawings capture that reconstructed impression in haunting and touching ways.

Part 4: In the spirt of my upcoming talk with @ronmarz.bsky.social here are some old GREEN LANTERN drawings. This is the time capsule of the lot. '95/6 was filled with young men quoting the hot new cartoon, SOUTH PARK— ad nauseam. In my head, Kyle was one of those guys.

Can't believe Spike has been gone 7 years 😔

BIG shout out to @andrewaydin.bsky.social and everyone who gave their time, talent, and money to support the ISLANDS IN THE SKY anthology. And, a massive tip of the cap to MATT FRACTION for traveling across the country to attend the book launch event. Get yours. www.kickstarter.com/projects/app...

If there's one take away from this episode—aside from don't take things too seriously—it's, if you've never had someone ink your work, find someone to ink you. You'll learn a TON. Let's all appreciate Inkers massive contributions to the artistic process. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/t...

Part 2: In the spirt of my upcoming talk with @ronmarz.bsky.social I'm sharing some old GREEN LANTERN drawings. A dash of action. these were all on one page of copy paper, but I broke them up here. "Now" me wants to break out the tracing paper and restructure the entire thing.

Part 2: In honor of my upcoming talk with @ronmarz.bsky.social I wanted to share some old GREEN LANTERN drawings. A lot of artists at the time were inspired by the BIG steps Mike Mignola was taking in the first few years of Hellboy, and I tried to incorporate big chunky blacks into my style.

I wish I had a childhood connection to this. Just to feel that kick sweet sweet of that hard-wired twelve year-old excitement. So, I'll settle for the joy of seeing a friend's artwork going out into the world.

Four-days out from my talk with @ronmarz.bsky.social I wanted to share some drawings I did for consideration to take up pencilling duties at the tail-end of Ron's run or GREEN LANTERN. Hard to look at thirty year-old test drawings and not cringe, but I admire the youthful ambition.

I read The Gods' Magician by Peter W. Blaisdell. Come see what I thought of this unique take on sword and sorcery! #booksky #bookblogger

$4.99 is a GREAT price. I'll take ten.

Just six days left for the Kickstarter, already fully funded but always looking for more readers! www.kickstarter.com/projects/ton...

Welcome to @nwmoca.bsky.social ! I can't wait to visit on my next trip to Portland.

The weeks episode is the food processor of episodes, when it comes to inking, it has ALL the chops. Listen in on three of the greatest inkers as they talk career, and how they've managed to stay at the top when the industry has done it's best to remove their role. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/t...

This one too! youtu.be/AzUHNjKMeV4?...

Hey! youtu.be/x_KlY-AegeE?...

God, I loved this artist-on-artist conversation with @kellysue.bsky.social so much. We cover everything – from her new comic ‘FML’, to the joys of art and the perils of middle age as an artist, to the need to question everything (including your own creative identity) when you embrace the art life.

I just solved a home page animation conundrum which plagued me for a couple weeks. Once I wrote down what I needed to do, then did the basic research, the whole thing came together. I'm almost embarrassed at how simple it was—in retrospect.

Due to the lingering Power Cosmic effects on podcast server farms in Canada from last night's massive aurora borealis which blanketed the Northern Hemisphere, the episode will publish on it's regular release day of next Tuesday. (11/18)

DEXTER VINES, SANDRA HOPE, & KARL STORY join me to talk about the true art and value of traditional inking in an age when digital art dominates the medium and how they’ve stayed so employable. @karlstory.bsky.social Links in bio #podcast

Is there a word for what to do with my previous edition?

Kind of hard to beat this one...

Here's a behind the scene peek at Tuesday's Roundtable episode. Hundreds of edits on four voice tracks... Packed full of over 100 years of top-level inking, with Dexter Vines, Sandra Hope, and Karl Story. This one may have broken my brain, but I hope it inspires yours. #tradecraft #podcast

Messaging with a friend, and I tried to type "Marvel Comics Presents" but it came out "Marvel Comics Resents." Carry on.

Killer.

Hey Man, like what you like. No judgement.

So, my wife's appearance in a documentary series, on artists, is the latest victim of the government shutdown. Side note: I typed "shitdown" at first. She already put great effort to arrange the location in Wyoming to host her and the film crew. Now, thanks to greed, this isn't happening. #shitdown

Nice! There's something special getting lost in the rythmn of letterforms. I won't say I dislike the power of programs like Illustrator, but I have so many fond memories of exploring hand-drawn type. Thanks for sharing.

I received an email from John Workman, following the episode release. Always a nail biter seeing these in the inbox. He was as kind and thankful as I could hope. Then he regaled me of another wonderful comicbook-world tale that highlighted his intergalactic memory. Hope you enjoy the episode too.

"AN ADOLESCENCE OBSESSED WITH R-RATED MOVIES, EXPLICIT MUSIC, AND EXTREME COMICS." Sounds like a lot of people here.

This book makes all the sense in the universe. Alex is a comics guy, through-and-through, and if you’ve read his novel, SECRET IDENTITY the DD connectI’ve tissue is there. Super excited for this to be in the world.

JOHN WORKMAN and I talk a life in comics, and other passions. We cover the highlights, like working for HEAVY METAL, lettering MÖBIUS, the ALIEN graphic novel, lettering THOR and RAGNAROK with Walt Simonson, and so many other stories that you’ll just have to listen 'em all. Links in bio #podcast

Hey Gen Xers and up, do you remember if the late '90s cell phones like Nokias had any sort of security? I don't recall punching in a code to make a call.
