Hype to bring us four together for a comics geekery extravaganza!!

I think this is a great way to support working artists. My day job is in manga and my night job is in direct market comics, and I love reading indie comics. Full-spectrum comics. Cartoonists United is a vital effort, and sponsoring these awards puts money in the hands of cartoonists. Well worth it.

Traditional comic inkers, what brushes are you into using right now? I usually go for the W&N sables and used to love Rosemary and Co brushes but idk they’re not hitting like they used to. I’ve been experimenting with various watercolor brushes with varying levels of success 🤔

If you missed the live event, the recording of this talk is now available publicly on YouTube! Check it out here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=eEbq...

We read Works of Vermin by @hironennes.bsky.social for my book club and I adored it! I was completely consumed clawing and groping my way through this moistly decadent, transformatively stinky bug-infested world and characters. shoutout to @jdebbiel.bsky.social for the killer cover too!

9 more days to apply! please don't hesitate to apply because your comic is at inks or pencils stage, or it's greyscale-only-- as long as it's got rough lettering on the page and is at least legibly thumbnailed, if it's a good fit then I'll be excited to talk about it with you!

"Which means, if the art we’re responding to is interesting art, we may be shutting ourselves off from a value ... that is bound up with offendedness, a value we can only arrive at through offendedness, that lies on the other side of it."
