beating myself up about work, health, sleep and then remembering i have a 9 month old and should go easy on myself. (can my clients/pubs also go easy on me? probably not. but i should do it at least)

Haze on Two Horizons, 2023

Makoto Yukimura was worried that Vinland Saga's farming arc and "I have no enemies" moment was a gamble that readers wouldn't like. I told him about the J. Cole meme from the Kendrick Lamar and Drake rap beef. This is how he reacted.

In all seriousness, publishers are going to have to figure out how to market books in the post-social-media landscape. That should be an implicit part of their job. What authors/artists can do on their own is increasingly limited and siloed.

I got to read Corpse de Ballet early and let me tell you it was so GOOD. Megan writes killer dialogue for these teen girls. I love a well-written, but absolutely terrible, human. And the monochromatic, ethereal artwork? Totally gorgeous. us.macmillan.com/books/978125...

If you are Canadian!! House of Commons petitions are very worth signing. At a certain number of signatures they need to be brought to the hoc. You can ONLY sign if you are a Canadian citizen! But always keep an eye out for them!

Get used to this:

This is an enraging read - influencers are telling women that folic acid is toxic & causes autism, thus putting them off taking it in vitamins if they're trying to get pregnant. Worse, they're peddling expensive supplements that don't have folic acid - and Serena Williams is a shill for one of them

didn't know who Alan Glass was, went to an exhibit in Montreal and left needing to buy a huge tome of his ballpoint drawings. also his paintings are incredible and no reproduction really do them justice.. (Untitled (Period Galerie Terrain Vague), ca. 1954 – 1962)

beat kcd2 last night and i want to draw knights but i have knights at home (hundreds of unfinished comic pages) 🥲

Alas I'm traveling and not at my computer to gather up my old friends at the table art but I just wanna say #fatt literally got me out of the worst art block ever, like I had given up doing art in any capacity up until I started listening to seasons of hieron

disappeared again from social media because im neck deep in a graphic novel and taking care of my baby. the baby has taken to sleeping like this and it cracks me up.

Guided by starlight ⭐️

taken hundreds of screenshots from kcd2 because it has the exact settings I need for comic. now that's a business expense

Someone Else’s Nostalgia, 2024

I've unearthed an old comic of mine that I put on indefenite haitus due to big life changes. Here's a retouched page from it.

Renegade Royale, sequel to Renegade Rule, is available now wherever you buy books! Grab your copy: bit.ly/4lbG8Xu The Manhattan Mist are in it to win it (again)! By @benkahncomics.bsky.social, @flirtymango.bsky.social, @sambeckdraws.bsky.social, Jim Campbell

sent a diagram to my sister explaining that my son doesnt realize he needs to move that arm in order to roll onto his back 🥲 (this results in him screaming to rescue him every 2-5 minutes lmao)

Some glimpses of a new piece I’m working on. I wanted to draw something a little more lighthearted and bright this time. I should be done with this piece tomorrow.

brb only using fluorescents for winter sunsets from here on out #gouache

new preview pages for RENEGADE ROYALE! Wedding bells are in the air, and the team talk about their plans to enter (or not) the upcoming Battle Royale. You can read the full story July 29th from @darkhorse.com!

Meet the team of RENEGADE ROYALE (out July 29th from @darkhorse.com)! Team captain Amanda Cassidy is picking up her comically large glowing sword and going full Valkyrie in the new battle royale mode! Up top is her original Super Soldier look. www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/781883...

Oh holy crap. Renegade Royale comes out this month!!

how to win me over is to just write in a couple of day to night to day journey scenes

IDF soldiers have now themselves admitted they have been ordered to murder aid-seekers in Gaza. Truly an atrocity built on atrocity. www.haaretz.com/israel-news/...

Someone said that the em dash (—) is becoming a clue that text is AI-generated. If this is how readers are sleuthing for AI — if we can no longer use God's perfect punctuation because of paranoia — I'm afraid I have to tell you to just stop reading altogether.

More landscapes

Done! A fan art of Draw Steel, from @hellomcdm.bsky.social I found their kit system to be super interesting so I had to visualize it!

forgot i impulse bought this book of castles, excited to receive book of castles.

add yours!

on one hand im glad verse was 3 books, on the other i have multiple characters that i wish i could just dedicate whole chapters too. Evelyn gets a flashback in book 1 and then doesn't show up until book 3. And i just think she's neat.

200/264 layouts done aaggrrghh, so close.

Thank you Alaire! 💜🥹

Rest

need to carve out some time on the weekends to finish a pitch, but also i love being a mom too much and going to parks and cafes with my bebe. (i do feel very creatively refreshed after tcaf though, so i will try!)

Hellooo TCAF! I'm at table 074 today, hope to see you there!

I spent the past 2 nights being anxious about TCAF for nothing because it's been absolutely amazing so far

Hellooo TCAF! I'm at table 074 today, hope to see you there!

Meet the team of RENEGADE ROYALE (out July 29th from @darkhorse.com)! Tonya LaFleur is trading her minigun from Volume 1 for a shiny new laser katana! This volume is really Tonya's story, and I loved seeing her grow from shy and unsure of herself in Renegade Rule to believing she can be champion.

every closet in my small apartment is 50% boxes of books/prints, please let this be a good tcaf so i can reclaim space 🙏
