Hi ✨

Some of my journalist income goes regularly to my local outlets @lataco.bsky.social, @lapublicpress.bsky.social, @pbs.org SoCal, and even my former employer @laist.com. Think about supporting your local public and independent media too so it's not just the same few journalism dollars going around!

Started watching Bat-Fam with Emilia today, it’s delightful!👍🏽👍🏽

The federal government’s extreme anti-immigrant agenda is putting people’s lives at risk – both in our communities and in detention. This must end. Demand that Congress exercise its oversight responsibilities and hold ICE to account at aclu.org/stop-fueling_ice

Even if you don't have the energy nor temperament to interact on social media, I recommend maintaining a portfolio website under your professional name. Show off some of your work and and make sure any of your social media presence links to the site and features a way to contact you directly.

Daily DBZ 168. After Cell’s broadcast, everyone on Earth starts to panic and try to hide from their impending doom. Even the Godzilla’s think there’s somewhere they can go where Cell won’t find them.

These are the stacks of the most fun book you maybe never heard about: Taara of the Stars! Created entirely by a talented array of Indian creators (plus an Argie myself), this is a book I would've LOVED as a kid. It has SO MANY fun gags per page that you keep finding new stuff each time you reread.

"Please trust us now when we say that what is happening in the Chicago area is wrong *** It is not law enforcement; it is terror."

This is what I worked on all summer: an 80-page Dan Dare graphic novella (the first of three), in collab with the incomparable @marclaming.bsky.social, @b7media.bsky.social, and The Dan Dare Corp. If you’re at @thoughtbubbleuk.bsky.social, free prints at B7’s booth! And go say hi to Marc, too

I love seeing artists make this decision!

Logan. #Wolverine #Xmen

Swamp Thing sketch cover commission completed.

Now that issue 2 is out I’m very happy to show off my scruffy version of Dr Strange that they let me get away with. Just a fluffy comfy wizard

Anyway, I am putting my other comics that I am able to on Ko-fi then disappearing again. No ALL THE DEVILS ARE HERE because Scout (please continue to not buy it from them!) But both TWIN BLADES and CRASH & TROY. So if you missed those alongside YUCATÁN, it'll be a good day.

ICE is depriving people detained at the California City detention facility of their humanity and legal rights. We’ll see them in court.
