#Papercuts2025 Market Day is close—I’ll be tabling so come say hi! Along with comics, zines & prints, I’ll have new copies of the relaunched Fortress 1–3 with limited edition covers. The print run on these will be low, so scoop them up while you can.

This morning I received a fully signed contract for our second manga license! I've been holding on announcing until I've got final covers to share. @joelvdk.bsky.social is designing a great cover for the first and the mangaka for the second title is making a new cover for our release! More soon :)

The sheer amount of detail in Pierre Lloga's 2024 Strangers debut; Mabel & Francine continue to amaze me. We decided to print this oversized at A4 or right around magazine size and it was 100% worth it.

The glorious heart of the economic planning ministry of the planet Reunion (from a comic coming in the fall)

Process shots for my FORTRESS pinup. @joelvdk.bsky.social was insistent that I didn’t need to stay confined to the comic’s unique colour scheme, but I couldn’t wait to try my hand at it!

I don’t what else to say about @davehowlett.bsky.social work other than it puts a big smile on my face and gets me excited about making comics. I love this piece Dave did for my Fortress relaunch, he knocked it out the park! You’ll find this gem in issue 1, hitting stores August!

To say that I’m a little bit excited about @tonymcmillen.bsky.social drawing a Fortress pin-up for me would be a vast understatement! Just look at this thing of raw beauty! Check it out in print in Fortress 1, dropping August.

Hama. Texeira. Happy place.
