What movie do you consider "perfect"?

Seeing the Bill Watterson originals full of pencil lines of stuff that didn’t work, scuffs the eraser didn’t pick up, white out galore and more was something I needed to see to remind myself that nothing is perfect the first go and tweaks need to be made and you’re allowed to try again.

At rest 🗡

Easy listening station. Or as I refer to them now as a middle aged dude, “songs that fucking rock.” Basically Billy Joel and The Beach Boys.

What I’m discovering is there are still people who don’t know you can sign up to Patreon.com/pjholden for free to guarantee seeing this free comic week by week.

I have a lot of passion and enthusiasm for a lot of things, but heavens, I don't think there's any act that brings me more immediate joy and purpose than does putting comics on a page.

SEXY BEAST. A one pager I made about one of my favorite movies.

Best drawing of the day.

If you missed it, @ifyoucantwell.bsky.social and I got a really nice starred review from the Library Journal. You can pre-order the Out of Alcatraz hardcover now! bookshop.org/p/books/out-...

Something I like about storyboarding vs. drawing comics is amount of dialogue has zero to do with compositions.

Flight from Denver to DC. Purple Gelly Roll pen.

Head over and check the campaign out to learn more (and back it)

My cover for The Killer: Affairs of the State II #4 from @boom-studios.com !!!!

My favorite thing in movies or TV is when a main character puts on a tiny pair of glasses out of nowhere.

Something I noticed from seeing all the artistic tributes to Robert Redford is that his is a tough likeness to nail.

One of August's (late-going-out) prints for Patreon backers at the you-get-mail level: Rowdy Roddy and Keith in THEY LIVE

100 years ago or last week.

This man sold more peacoats than the US Navy. RIP to one of the greats.

Took about three watches before I figured out that this scene is the actual climax in NO COUNTRY FOR OLD MEN. “You got old.”

Moebius

43 years old. Just had my first Funion. Incredible.

I made an animated into for my live streams and talked about how I made it in Blender using the Grease Pencil tool.

I still ask that you check out my non social media options to look at my arts. I have a free patreon tier.

The Small Press Expo is this weekend in Bethesda Maryland. If you like cool stuff and the best indie comics money can buy, it’s the place to be. I always come away from it sort of vibrating and proud of the medium(and broke).

Favourite face I’ve drawn today.

Homegrown tomatoes taste great and are ideal for people who want to eat five hundred of them in a week in early September and none at all for the rest of the year.

Tiny update, but Frog in the Fall and World Heist by @decassette.bsky.social are both back in stock in our US shop again. the US shop is at peow.studio .

A gathering at the big old gnarly tree

Last night’s ALIEN: Earth ep was the best so far. Feels like the show is now past setting the table with the familiar and is doing its own thing.

You want free comics? I got free comics...! If you subscribe to my patreon.com/pauljholden you can read this in full colour (so far!) Terran Omega Page 2-3

Got Wordle in two. I’m going to be insufferable today.

An old Aeon Flux

Page 7 A BRIEF HISTORY OF GEORGE SMILEY. From a 12 page fan comic I did last yearish.

Aliens Earth has me thinking of this song. There’s a nonzero chance it’s in the show before it’s over. youtu.be/CfHrCwL1bcQ?...

One more page of inks from THE OLD MAN AND THE SEA OF LOVE.

Strange New Worlds has perfected that full body vaporization effect. No notes.

Inks for a page from THE OLD MAN AND THE SEA OF LOVE. A fun sci fi story I’ve been fortunate enough to have @jeffmcclelland.bsky.social publish in his PLANET COMICS anthology.

In Pennsylvania yearly car registration is all done digitally now. I sincerely miss getting the little sticker and then sticking it to the increasing mound of previous stickers on my license plate.

I know Dan Ackroyd is a real one because he didn’t have to do that Digital Underground video but you know he just wanted to.

watching a random movie on netflix: unpleasant, disappointing watching a random movie on tubi: extraordinary, a blessing

Post a meme made by you

Really abusing the head shrinker tool in CSP. 90%of drawing comics is drawing the perfect head 20% larger than it should be and shrinking it later.

Rewatching FOUNDATION season 1. This show was good from the jump.
