Fuck kickstarter, support queer art that fucks a lot

OK, let’s give this a try finally

I think I’ve finished this. Like they’ll finish you. #artsky

Let's go! See you in the comments!

It's too true. Richard Pace's style in Leaving the Garden (SSoC #2) perfectly encapsulated the visceral, clawing, scratching fight for survival of that story. and @jimzub.com really were a perfect match in that case.

Good morning! Madonna of the Cotton Fields was painted by Laura Knight.

How I imagined the Goblin King from The Hobbit before Peter Jackson's movie.

(1/3) I just finished a collection of short stories by @minillajovovich.bsky.social Zeynep & Kawtar was a fun, breezy, and refreshing take on traditional sword and Sorcery. So I thought I would offer a little mini-review. The long and short, well worth your time! Pick it up: luanawrites.carrd.co/

Lorraine Nam and I won Best Children’s Book at the inaugural Astra Book Awards for our book, “I’m So Happy You’re Here: A Celebration of Library Joy” 🥹 WOW 💜✨ @andreabrownlit.bsky.social @randomhousekids.bsky.social

(1/2) "Faces of Doom" by @matthewjohnauthor.bsky.social from Savage Sword of Conan #14 was a very good short story. At a page long, perhaps micro-story appropriate. The palindrome of a tale builds with macabre tension with a dice throw and ends with another. The story drops with sinister mirth.

(1/2)The new Savage Sword of Conan was great. The feature by @jimzub.com was a fun desert adventure (my personal favourite) complete with motely sidekicks, a smoking sorceress, and dubiously graciously denizens of a lost city.

Conan & Valeria pencils ready to ink I needed a brain reset day after a weekend at a convention and long drive home. So after a long snooze I thought I'd finish this sketch for fun rather than work :)

Threw some color over these X-Files drawings

Actually you know what, let me just

Mail day in Montreal! Glad to have this on hand. I already bought the ebook, but with a cover like that, deserves a spot next to my Cherryhs and Howards! Now @minillajovovich.bsky.social, do I start with Zeynep + Karwar, or can I jump in here? Go support your independent Sword & Sorcery author!

I was reading the letters page of issue 99 of Conan the Barbarian from the late 70s, and I came across this fun little letter. The great author Charles Saunders dropping a little tidbit on Roy Thomas and company! Going through these letters page can be almost as fun as the comic itself.

I'm always looking for an excuse! But all 5?! Hell yes! youtu.be/-LgAOvvMNgk?...

My word. As a person who draws maps casually, this is a literal marvel!

Here's a peek at that Savage Sword of Conan #14 ToC. Thrilled to be part of it.

There aren't a lot of things I agree with Mark Carney about, but there's one area where he and I are in *total* accord: the old, US-dominated, "rules-based international order" was total bullshit: www.weforum.org/stories/2026... 1/

Huge congratulations! I can't wait to dig into this! And the @gorangligovic.bsky.social cover as well! ⚔️🫪

I love Alexey's work. My profile pic is a piece a local bookseller commissioned him to do. Here is hoping he ditches Twitter and joins us over here.

”The Hour of the Dragon” is actually a weirdly hard story to place in the Conan timeline!

Link (2021)

One of the most brutal stories I have read!

‘Conan The Barbarian’ ⚔️ Artist: Chris Towner 🖤

Couldn't agree more. This book was pure catharsis. After watching genocide for nearly 2 years and watching the public debate revolve around the semantics of what to call mass murder. This book puts into words the intangible feelings floating around my head.

So sick! @patrickzircher.bsky.social is a complete package. It is so nice to see a wholly unified vision expressed on the page. We're lucky to have it for sure! Also, the Styger cover is looking POWERFUL!

The man is too good. I think his imagining of Conan is my all time favourite!

A Conan literary analysis as a nightcap? Yes please! ⚔️🗡️🤘🏽

A great look at a vital bit of S&S history, as written by @markfinn.bsky.social conan.com/the-saga-of-...

I'm grateful to these folks everyday.

Friends! My new fantasy adventure comic, OUTLAW'S APPRENTICE, has begun, with new episodes releasing each Wednesday. Read it on webtoons: www.webtoons.com/en/canvas/ou... Or read it on my Patreon: www.patreon.com/c/ChrisSchwe... Shares and word-spreading very much appreciated!

OH. MY. GOD. I just saw Sign of the Cross, a 1932 pre-Code movie directed by Cecil B. deMille; it was AMAZING. Claudette Colbert kills as the Empress, Charles Laughton is the most depraved Nero, and Joyzelle is the wickedest woman in Rome.

Post your favourite film from the year you turned 18.

Can't wait for the Omni to come out! @comicstitan.bsky.social hopefully sooner than later. 😉🫣

GenAI memes used to dunk on the enemy are still GenAI memes.

Mood, every single day.

Exactly 💯

“Kull II” illustration by Marie and John Severin published in MARVEL PREVIEW #19 (Summer 1979).

Such a sick image! How I imagine my level 4 human fighter against a Wight in some AD&D action.

This made me smile. It's from the letters page of Conan the Barbarian # 89, from August 1978. It's 2026 and Roy Thomas is 85 years old and just dropped an all-timer with Roberto de la Torre in Savage Sword # 13; almost 50 years later. Once a master, always a master. 🤘🏽⚔️💪🏽

Jirel of Joiry is one of the coolest, most compelling sword & sorcery characters out there. With Molly Tanzer's new stuff coming out, I'm blogging my way through the Jirel stories. www.conanchronology.com/home/jirel-o...

Couldn't agree more. The splash pages on this one are unreal! Especially that bar brawl!

The Savage Sword of Conan by Earl Norem This came out in 1979, but I love how the girl (especially her face) looks like she’s from a mid 80s comedy movie poster. #Art #ComicSky #Fantasy

Man. I love this. Desert adventures just hit differently!
