Thread on mentorship and some things you as comics creators can do to share your good fortune with others in your field.

Since hearing of Tatjana Wood's death, a legend in our field, I've been drawn to pouring over some of her stellar work as a comic colorist. Exquisite storytelling through colour. Very drawn to and molded by that decision making. I lived for a time in Darmstadt where she was born funnily too.

I’ll be at Awesome Con this weekend. I’ll have free preview issues of A Ghost Arm Made of Angry Ghosts. Booth L-13 Stop by and say hello!
