Yeah, the OkiCon thing sucks… but some good news finally arrived today! The hardcover edition of my book FaLLEN vol 1 finally arrived and it is beautiful 😭 💕 After so many printing delays I thought it would never come, it’s finally here! Kickstarter backers, rejoice! 🙌 #goodnews #artist #comics

Mad as hell that they got free art out of me. 😡 😡

Heads up to all, if you were planning on going to OkiCon in Norman it’s not happening anymore. They used my artwork for the cancelled event announcement. Better cancel my hotel fast or I will lose even more than just billable hours.

This is such misplaced concern I can’t even. Suggesting a child like mine has a bad childhood or something because we can’t afford a luxury item like the Switch 2 with all 2 of its exclusive games. 3 if you include the manual. My heart aches for kids who need expensive tech to feel fulfilled.

I’ve got a meeting out of town tomorrow so I need to sleep soon 😴 Finished inking, hoping to finish flats before the weekend. #wip #artwip #lineart #comics

Will be sharing the actual photos on a Kickstarter post soon. Trading cards I made for #FaLLEN vol. 1 backers. #art #tradingcards #OCs

Oh good, I just received yet another email that the hardcover edition for my books has been delayed yet again. Oh boy oh boy oh boy. 🫠

Whaaat!? #PortfolioDay was yesterday??? And I missed it?? Posting anyway. 😜 I draw comics! I used to draw manga but now I'm in full-color, baby. #comics #artist #animeart #OCs

About to color this cowgirl. Yee-haw! 🐮 In other news, the new iOS glass thing is ugly as fudge, what were they thinking. Wish I could choose to go back to the old look. 😔 #lineart #WIP #artWIP #drawing

Non-FaLLEN related drawing! 🤠 #artWIP #WIP #drawing

Finished it!!! 💪 www.patreon.com/posts/chapte...

I’m kind of tired of working on this page ☠️ Should be up tonight on #Patreon. #WIP #makingcomics

I should have some updates to share this week regarding book printing and Kickstarter stuff. This is taking forever. Printing in the US during the Year o’ Tariffs has been… an experience. 😵‍💫

Wanted to apologize to anyone who signed up for my workshop this weekend. There was a very strange calendar error in my phone and I thought the event started 45 minutes later than it was. My understanding is that they just cancelled it when they heard I would be late. 😞

Our feature artist/tutorial today ANOTHER step by step On FIRE and MAGIC effects by Cannibalbites on Tumblr(cannibalbites.tumblr.com)! Love especially the inclusion of all the brush settings! This is proper sharing :) #gamedev #animationdev #digitalpainting #animation

Went to print some posters for bonus goodies for Kickstarter backers to apologize for the wait and saw the price has gone up for the same thing I ordered in June by $9!!! These tariffs are kicking my butt. 😠

If you are in the Tulsa area you can grab a copy of #FaLLEN at Wizard’s Asylum! #localauthors #comics #graphicnovel

Updated the website a little bit. No, still haven't got the shop running. I will do that once the hardcover books get sent out to Kickstarter backers. fallen-comic.com

I had a great time at the Oklahoma Comic Arts Festival over the weekend. Beautiful venue, very diverse crowd, very well organized and I made money. Congrats to @brianwinkeler.bsky.social, @robertwilsoniv.bsky.social and everyone who worked so hard. A big accomplishment. @okcomicarts.bsky.social

OMG so beat 😵 #OCAF2025 is over, my flatting work for my bud is over… tomorrow I am going to take the day off and then it’s back to work on my comic. It was a total success this year but there’s still plenty of work to do for the next one! If you were a vendor or a guest, thanks for coming!!

Come to the Oklahoma Contemporary in downtown OKC for a FREE festival for comic and art fans alike! #art #comics #OCAF2025

All set up here at OK COMIC ARTS FESTIVAL @okcomicarts.bsky.social So this is what my table looks like if it's all Ilworld 😆

I'm gonna be at the inaugural Oklahoma Comics Arts Festival! I'm so excited to see what OKC has to offer! @okcomicarts.bsky.social

Just sharing again. Oklahoma Comic Arts Festival is this Saturday. I'm excited for it.

Brooke Stephenson is an American-born artist who spent 16 years in Japan working on manga under the pen name Ogawa Burukku @ogawaburukku.bsky.social. An accomplished translator, illustrator & animation storyboard artist, Brooke will debut her original graphic novel FaLLEN V. 1 REBIRTH at #OCAF2025!

@stevelieberart.bsky.social knocks comics outta the park with his well-paced storytelling and expressive layouts, and he’ll be at #OCAF2025 to graciously share his wisdom with six local comic artists seeking to up their game!

This Saturday!

WORKSHOP ALERT! MAKING MANGA! Manga creator Ogawa Burukku (FaLLEN) will give you a special look at what makes manga unique to the comics format, and will include special demonstrations on the manga process. BONUS: One lucky participant will be able to win a Japanese manga starter kit! #OCAF2025

And now the title page matches their new uniforms 😆 Full image on my Patreon! #art #digitalart #comicart #FaLLEN

THIS!! It's one thing to promote a small press title or a zine collection, but if I'm being published by a Big 5 publisher I shouldn't have to be their marketing and publicity employee.

In case didn't know, I am appearing at the Oklahoma Comic Arts Festival this weekend in OKC! www.okcomicarts.org/ocaf-festival I'm heading a workshop on making manga and I'll of course be at a table selling the new FaLLEN books! The pamphlet is up for easy viewing of all the workshops and guests.

Just a reminder to check for your name in this list of books that OpenAI trained from. If your name is there, they probably owe you several thousand dollars. OpenAI cried that if everyone eligible author files, the company will go bankrupt, so I'm alerting every author I have ever spoken to.

New page is up on Patreon! Let's see how the new features on @Patreon work! #comics #FaLLEN #artist www.patreon.com/posts/chapte...

Oh no guys I went with the yellow accents, then I added a plaid pattern to her skirt, and then I spent the last hour and half designing their school emblem! WHY CAN’T I KEEP IT SIMPLE. 😭 Thanks for the input, I’m sure I will regret this decision! Page goes up tomorrow on Patreon. #comics #art

He’s been blacklisted by Disney! This ⬇️ lays out what happened. boundingintocomics.com/tabletop-gam...

Chapter 5: Hush 🤫💤 🏠🔗 fallen-comic.com 🔗🏠 Time for the next chapter! Chapter 5 begins with the title page! Grab some cozy pajamas and snuggle in! 🧸 #comics #webcomics #animeart #manga

Question: I'm drawing my comic and I am not sure which design I like more for their school uniforms. Simple is easier of course and matches all older art but I kind of like the yellow trim. What do you all think? #wip #oc #artist #animeart

@netflix.com canceling the series KAOS has broken my heart! I just watched it, with one of the best season finales I have seen in years, only to learn there won’t be a SE02! If you love Greek mythology, this series is the smartest modernization of classical myths, period. WATCH IT! Bring it back!
