Holy shit, now Concrete: Stars Over Sand has a release date? I'd all but given up hope. This is officially the best year for comics since I don't know when.

He may not have been as well known as Duvall, but I also loved Tom Noonan. RIP.

Carry on and play At the end of the day.

Like a big old baby.

My favourite band of the '00s were the Constantines, and I still hold out hope that what Bry Webb told me two years ago is true (that there's still a chance the new songs they recorded in 2018 will see the light of day). My second fav are Califone. Sadly, both bands have fallen into the memory hole.

Robert Duvall was one of my favourite actors. He was always tough, unusually vulnerable, and elevated every production he ever took part in. RIP.

It's taken me 46 years to realize just how intellectually bankrupt big tech and big money really are. I guess that's on me, but in my defense, I just couldn't imagine anything quite this stupid.

Holy shit.

Using the environment-destroying tool designed to eliminate the artists and writers who created all the work stolen by the technocrats to build it is kinda like saying you want to stop murder by stabbing innocent people. Stop it

It's good to know our PM's historic Davos speech lives rent-free in Marco Rubio's pointy little head. It's also funny as shit that a mental toadstool like Rubio thinks he has the rhetorical chops to upbraid Carney in any way, shape, or form. Ell-oh-ell.

Seeing the announcement/cover of Acme Novelty Library 21 is only the second time a comics release has made me audibly gasp (the first was last year's Bowling With Corpses from the then-retired Mignola). Even if rumours of a new Clowes book this fall are exaggerated, still an amazing year for comics.

I'm so, so broke, but man, I'm probably gonna go to this. Any chance to see Seth talk comics is one that shouldn't be passed up. It'd be nice to get another coupla books signed by these gents, too.

Nice to see Dev Pramanik on a new Moon Knight ongoing. I had the pleasure of coloring him a few years back, and all of his pages were a gift. He's an artist who's going from strength to strength.

I hate that it's impossible to have a conversation about this country's worst mass shooting in nearly 40 years without it becoming violently political in the span of seconds. I hate that for the victims and their families, who are in my thoughts today.

I know my reach is effectively nil, but Ryan Kelly is one of the best artists in the biz. Hire him!

I’m looking for gigs for the rest of 2026 if anyone needs an artist. Let me know. I work for money only. Here’s the new FUNRAMA page I uploaded last night to see my style and skill level. Funrama written and drawn by me. Thanks!

We live in a world where Vertigo exists again, and that makes me so happy. Can't wait 'til I have some disposable income again this spring and can check a few of these titles out. The previews are all lookin' sharp as hell. Especially curious about Camp and Morian's Bleeding Hearts.

Fair play: I forgot about Wednesday/MJ Lenderman and the Wind yesterday. "How you gonna make your way in the world when you aren't cut out for workin'?"

Also, I am... kinda looking. Like, if you can pay me via PayPal and have a 20ish page project that needs colors, I'll gladly prioritize it, since I might still run out of money between now and my next invoice turning around. I really, really do not want to have to hit up a friend for a loan. Really.

So I'm juggling a couple books at present, and I believe I have two more lined up in the coming weeks. The good news is I'm not actively looking at the moment, but if anybody needs a colorist in the spring, I'll be available! Here's a Tony Salmons Batman I did for practice. Legendary artist.

Along with Australia's Tropical Fuck Storm, Geese are just about the only rock band worth a good goddamn to have arrived on the scene in the last 20 years. I'll stand on so-and-so's coffee table and say that.

Two of the three books I'm working on this month are by writers whose respective books were nominated for the same Best New Series Eisner Award in a recent year. Hotcha!

While I'm grateful to simply have work at all, what really excites and animates me is that I'm legitimately excited about all the projects that have come my way in recent weeks. Don't ever take it for granted!

I'm honestly not sure who the most vile number of the Trump administration is (it's arguably that slimeball Hoekstra), but Lutnick is certainly in the running. This certainly doesn't help his reputation any.

Speaking of folks who can go fuck themselves...

On a brighter note, this is an early contender for SOTY. Such a lovely small song from a band who have been too long away from the studio.

Is anyone actually surprised by the orange imbecile's latest affront to decency? The fact that he posted a meme depicting his only predecessor of colour as a fucking APE should call for his immediate removal from office. What a classless pig.

Fisto, Clamp Champ, and Ram-Man walk into a bar. Something something He-Man. Something something turns out it's a fetish club. #HalfFinishedJokes #MastersOfTheUniverse

Huzzah! There's a new Joe Ollmann book in the wild! Not just an heir to Clowes and Tomine's '90s output, not just a Canadian treasure, but also the single most underrated creator working in comics today. The Abominable Mr. Seabrook is my favourite graphic novel of the '10s.

There's a reason these two are being paired up for a fireside chat about Arctic sovereignty and national unity. Across deep political and cultural divides, the vast majority of Canadians are putting up a united front that can't be fucked with. Also, look at Chretien go! 92 years young!

We do not deserve Primal.

Almost shared a GoFundMe for a favourite U.S. musician facing cancer, but ended up standing my ground. Some don't get this. Think of it the same way you think of governments refusing to pay terrorists a ransom.

I had a lot of good times in 2025, but my favourite was a quiet night at my local bar where I talked to an older guy with a cartoon laugh about his time as a concert photographer. He played this song on the juke and even though he was drunk, he outsang me handily. Turns out we're literal neighbours.

Fun fact: our favourite songwriters will spend an entire lifetime trying to come up with a single song this good. Maybe one in ten thousand ever will. #BlazeFoley

Would have said something about the orange imbecile's fake tariff threats against Bombardier, but TACO Tuesday came so fucking early today that I literally didn't have time. Mark, stop taking this dipshit's calls. Seriously. Also, refuse to regotiate CUSMA until he's out of office.

RIP to an icon. Her sister, who has yet to deliver her sophomore album 38 years after the release of her debut, seems like the best person to eulogize her. (If you ever want to weep uncontrollably, watch MMO singing at John Candy's funeral. I can't. I can't do it.)

Reminder: TAFS is absolutely the best thing to happen to either comedy or talk shows since Norm Macdonald Live premiered 13 (!) years ago. Dude talks about Dylan even more than I do, somehow. (And that's a good thing, obviously.)

As a music geek, I would support this wholeheartedly. In one fell swoop, my list of favourite Canadian singer-songwriters would expand to include Bob Dylan, Prince, Paul Westerberg, Tommy Stinson, Bob Mould, Grant Hart, and tons more. MN, what's in your water up there?

Okay, I'll spare BlueSky a portfolio post today for the first time in months. I somehow picked up three gigs within eight hours of each another yesterday, and I am deeply, deeply in debt to you all. You know who you are, and you saved the first half of my year. Seriously. Thank you.

here is a foundational problem with AI art that AI cannot solve: anyone using it to make art cannot identify bad art. you learn how to recognize bad art (and improve as an artist) via MAKING art, which they have already fully rejected. the sets do not intersect.

I know this site is an echo chamber, but still, fuck this entire administration into orbit.

Ah, fuck this.

That almost makes me as happy as the colorist gig I spent an hour applying for only to realize that the compensation I expected in their local currency is an executive salary over there and doesn't even cover rent and food in Canada. No, YOU lost all hope months ag

Thank god zero of the 60 editors I researched, made a list of, looked up on BlueSky, and followed went ahead and followed me back! I love social media and I love this cliqueish industry that doesn't remind me of high school at all!

Killer. It's amazing to me that Kim is only five years younger than my parents and is older than they ever got to be. Still a creative force to be reckoned with.

Hey, I have a better idea, Scott Bessent! Suck my dick.

Colorist needing work, two decades of experience, worked with writers like Joshua Williamson and Mark Waid and Cullen Bunn and Nick Spencer, versatile and reliable, very open to negotiating a rate that'll work for any client. Lines by Daniel Gete, color by me. Dark Ages, Outland Entertainment, 2023.

And after it gently rocked us, it cooed softly in our ear until we drifted off to sleep in the arms of an angel.

It's not just talk. We are all in on resisting hegemony and diversifying trade. I feel for you guys south of the border, but I've honestly never been more proud of my country than I am right now.

Colorist looking for work! DM me, email me, send a raven, light a signal fire, maybe try semaphore, falconry, etc. Here are some pages from Warlock 5: The Revenge, Outland Entertainment. Art by Ger Curti, color by me.
