#BatmanDay I only draw the Silver Age version, and not the cruel and bloodied post-Miller versions. How does somebody who has studied science, philosophy/psychology, and martial arts for decades, not become zen? When Batman loses it, well, you’ve lost me.

#RoseCityComicCon, here’s our webcomic about how strangers from another world changed the Americas, and how a teenage girl was key to toppling the AZTEC EMPIRE. Read for FREE: BigRedHair.com #RCCC

The Ancients: @scottmccloud.bsky.social, @paulguinan.bsky.social, @davidfwalker.bsky.social, @jeffparker.bsky.social, @stevelieberart.bsky.social, today at @helioscopepdx.bsky.social

A great list, mainly because a top 10 SF movies of the 70s list is going to do double duty as best ever SF movie list and have a shot at being a decent “best movies of the 70s” list.

This video includes my dog Ripley, whom @scottmccloud.bsky.social called a “saint.” #HumbleBrag

The robot, Boilerplate, with the 10th Cavalry. The Buffalo Soldiers. #BuffaloSoldiersDay

Yeah, of course, we got the custom popcorn container at the movie theater. Jealous? #Superman

Congratulations to all the recipients at last night's #EisnerAwards !!! #SDCC Our series AZTEC EMPIRE was once honored with a nomination for Best Digital Comic. Read it for free on our BigRedHair website.

My secret is out—I’m a character in an MMOG! I’ve never played one before, and I’m in love with #SpiritCrossing by @spryfox.bsky.social. I’d love to see some IRL friends in this game. It has drop-dead gorgeous art, great writing, questing & building galore, & fun community. 💖 Come explore with us!

Come see a rare sighting of me this weekend at I Like Comics in Vancouver, WA. They’re having a SUPERMAN 100 PROJECT signing this Saturday, July 12, from 10am-4pm. All Helioscope creators who contributed to the book will be there! 1/2

I’ll be there too!

Some of you might have met @paulguinan.bsky.social's dog Ripley at the big boxing match a few months ago.

This is Ripley and he belongs to @paulguinan.bsky.social & @bigredhair.bsky.social. Ripley is in the studio pretty regularly and he roams from desk to desk in search of treats, affection, validation.

My robot, Boilerplate, was once featured on the masthead of the Portland Tribune. That masthead makes an appearance on the OPB website for a story about the Tribune discontinuing print editions. www.opb.org/article/2025/06/25/portland-tribune-stop-publishing-print-edition-carpenter-media-news-cuts/

Don't forget, my interview with Comic Creator @paulguinan.bsky.social is available to watch now. Great chat about comics, hobbies, and history! youtu.be/2S9O_4NOnlc

Honored to be an inspiration for depicting a Mexica warrior in comics. Codex Mendoza informed me, but I added my own helmet designs that became an inadvertent tag to follow any wandering. Look where it wound up! The cover for Assorted Crisis Events #4.

Comic Friends/Followers. I am introducing a new segment on my YouTube Channel called "5 Questions with Cerius Blaq". My first guest was the Creator @paulguinan.bsky.social from @helioscopepdx.bsky.social . We had a blast! This is also my 1st solo-edited video. youtu.be/EJuvv01tLpM

and, btw, if you don't know @paulguinan.bsky.social and @davidhahn.bsky.social's Aztec Empire yet, please go see! It's fantastic. www.bigredhair.com/books/aztec-...

Here's @andrewfarago.bsky.social's obituary for Jesse in The Comics Journal. www.tcj.com/jesse-alan-h...

It was 4 years ago today that we lost our studiomate Jesse Hamm. Jesse was an artist, an educator, and an essayist. He was smart, serious, and incredibly funny. We miss him every day. Go read this great post he wrote about Alex Toth, cartooning, and realism. sirspamdalot.livejournal.com/89372.html

Here are three more from my studio. That is @paulguinan.bsky.social, Boilerplate, and Paul's dog Ripley who never stops moving.

506 years ago this week: The Mexica ambassador hurries to Tenochtitlan to make his report to Motecuhzoma about the dangers of the strangers on the coast. Page 76 (one of my favorites) of our series:

Wonderful stuff! #comics

Oh wow: Portland Oregon is NOT KIDDING #handsoff

Val played Bruce/Batman as a focused master of Zen, as the character should be. All other actors played the part as quirky, broody, angry, etc. #RIPValKilmer

Happy Trans Day of Visibility! Trans folks have always been here, and Indigenous societies have always had a place for them.

We’ll never cease referencing Stanley Kubrick. One of the few constants in our culture. Even the Barbie movie began with K.

The leading Mexican archeologist, Leonardo López Luján, declared my recreation of the House of Eagles as “excellent.” There’s no higher praise. Years of research for our webcomic, AZTEC EMPIRE, is wonderfully validated!
