MANBEEEEEEEEN

Been feeling down about my creative practice recently but I’m out and about visiting New York, hoping to recharge and reset. 

😔 so sad comic

Absolute best summer read that I’m going to make stickers! ⚾️

A sad robo girl for a zine!

Hardest sequence of all time

I'm proud to announce that I will be a judge for this NEW ONLINE RESIDENCY from the @cartoonist.coop!! We're looking to support comics that utilise the possibilities of websites and coding as a creative tool. $1000 USD, free hosting. Deets and FAQ here: cartoonist.coop/digital-resi...

Me reading Cross Game

MINDFUL (2025) 🍽️☁️

I just think they’re neat! 🙂‍↕️

Close reading is for everyone: defector.com/close-readin...

Comic creator folks, how do you decide what side/passion project to do besides your “main” project?

Making comics journalism (or criticism, or advocacy, however you describe it) is a tremendously difficult thing. Andy's estimated "cost of doing business" at BF largely mirrors our own experience at @solrad.bsky.social. If you want independent, engaged media, please support it.

Ew!

I recently wrote some lengthy criticism on fudanshi, be it straight or queer, and their participation in Shōwa era doujinshi and further cultural influences: On Fudanshi: Image, the Subversion of Mecha and Queerness in Post-War Japan retroanimechris.blogspot.com/2025/05/to-f...

Some thoughts on self publishing & publishing. I've self published a lot now and I have a lot of feelings on how we talk about it versus traditional indie publishing. www.patreon.com/posts/mess-s...

There’s nothing more horrific than reality itself. Here’s a comic I did about immigration, family separation and mass deportations. Please go read! (1/8)

Sorry, Miko. A horror comic by Quita Chuatico and me! (1/7)

This week on Off Panel, writer/artist Tradd Moore joins the show for a sprawling conversation about his life, art, and career, as we discuss his approach to all three through the prism of projects like Doctor Strange: Fall Sunrise.

Wish I had more arms to do more comic things

Tezuka & Ishinomori both died at 60. Mizuki (the creator of GeGeGe no Kitarō) died at 93. I think about this a lot.

Updating my wallpaper 💕 my ultimate bias urasawa

Snow day in Savannah ❄️

Quoted from the e-mail: "As of this past Tuesday, Jan 14th, my classmate and I were suspended from The Center for Cartoon Studies for the distribution and contents of an anonymous zine about our experiences with a harasser and stalker in our class. The harasser has remained in class."

Talk Comics To Me no. 1 🗣️

Drawing is so fun

Maybe my new fave artist at Thought Bubble was @richardmercz.bsky.social ! I picked up a bunch of their stuff including No Boyfriends Since Birth! A really funny and sweet romance between two adult men going on their first gay date. Every moment of awkwardness is like a turn in an RPG battle.

Sometimes you just need a cute anime nurse to remind you to gobble your pills ❤️ gonna make stickers of her

Working on a big sticker / print that’s just gonna be like TAKE YOUR MEDS 💊

Wild how much of the AI “revolution” is underpaid workers around the world.

Study is a quiet but powerful tool during geopolitical unrest. If you can't donate or protest or engage physically right now, take this time to read. Reading related to the history of colonialism, of radical struggle, of various solidarities; that will equip you for what's to come.

A one-pager to submit to a magazine ✨
