Howl's Moving Castle commission <3.

Okay, after several conversations, I've set up a Gofundme. If you can donate, that would be amazing, but I'll always be grateful for shares and words of encouragement! <3 #movingtoalbania #artcommissions #gofundme

My wife and I are trying ro raise some capital to start a business so that she doesn't need to leave Albania at the end of the month. We'll also get residency so we won't have to leave for five years! If you can share far and wide and maybe pitch in we'd appreciate it!

Still obsessed with these.

Was a real honor to chat with Jimmy and talk about what makes The Author Immortal tick!

Available in store! You Belong Here by Sara Phoebe Miller & @morganbeem.bsky.social “A page-turning story about high school drama, emotions, and mental and physical health that is sure to resonate...” “Beem’s dreamy blue-hued illustrations with watercolor flourishes are both alluring and stylish”

I'm sorry but if you have 4,000 employees and your revenue is 6 billion, you make 1.5 million per employee and if you can't make a profit margin there, you are simply embezzling it.

This really is an encapsulation of what being an American is: experiencing something needlessly cruel and profoundly stupid while propaganda you can’t turn off blares about how free and lucky you are

Alright yall, my inbox is full from folks privately reaching out (please always feel free to publicly post if your contract allows) about CURRENT COVER RATES in 2026 Strap in

Howl's Moving Castle commission <3.

One of my all-time favorite comics. It is both amazing and beyond heartbreaking that it is just as relevant now as when it first came out in 2003. Give it a read if you haven't (or the anime adaptation on Netflix is also very well done).

Twin Peaks Lucy commission <3

I can't make it to ECCC this year, but that doesn't mean I didn't put something together for all y'all! My first digital download print sized at 24"x31" for when you need to make your opinions known. valentinebarker.com/product/musi...

Something wild, wicked, & wolfy this way comes! Coming NEXT WEEK to your graphic novel bookshelf: @rycady.bsky.social and @morganbeem.bsky.social’s epic tale Wolfsbane: The Silver Bullet Edition! Mauling werewolves, howler hunters, & rampant mayhem, oh my! www.simonandschuster.com/books/Wolfsb...

For those that can't escape Photoshop, (such as myself RIP) request an agent to speak with on their virtual assistant to switch your plan not listed on the site. I requested to REMOVE generative AI "features" or extra apps -- it took me about an hour, but my plan went from 22.99 to 15.99 a month.

I write and draw the daily comic strip Heart of the City! It's a nationally syndicated strip in 100+ newspapers and has a few collections of the early strips. You can read it daily for free on www.gocomics.com/heartofthecity! Consider being a paid subscriber! Get comics directly in your inbox!

If you see this, don't participate. It's a rigged study by Lisa Littman and unethical researcher J. Michael Bailey meant to undermine access to care. Spread the word.

I’ll open commission slots tomorrow at 10am (PT)! But if you want to grab a slot today, subscribe to mistercrook.com/news... and I’ll send you the password to unlock my store!

AI is just creating crunchy jpegs of copyrighted work and is trying to hide that fact by calling these machines "learning" machines instead of what they actually are: mediocre plagiarism machines. A xerox machine that doesn't work.

Breaking into comics is hard. REALLY HARD— —that’s why I wrote a practical, step-by-step book breaking it down! While the journey into any creative industry is different for everyone, I provide a big picture game plan to help keep you focused and grounded. Oh, plus it’s free to download now!

More of this!!! Ban that shit everywhere. It's a blight on the very nature of being thinking, feeling human beings.

Reealllly proud of this issue! Also maybe my favorite cover of the run 👀💖

It's that time again -- FOC for The Author Immortal #4 from me, @morganbeem.bsky.social, Hassan Otsmane-Elhaou, @arden.rip, @sievish.bsky.social & @imagecomics.com.

Happy New Year! It's time for my annual tradition of donating 75% of all Gumroad+Ko-fi income to the Transgender Law Center. It's not much, but it's not nuthin! Thanks to all YOU who dropped a tip on my free Clip Studio brushes in 2025. ko-fi.com/rondanchan

The Author Immortal #3 by @fjbarb.bsky.social @morganbeem.bsky.social & Hassan Otsmane-Elhaou. From the web covered panels to the creepy Spider Oracle this was one of the best looking comics on my pull list. Such a great mix of fantasy and horror. #TheAuthorImmortal #Imagecomics #Comics #Comicsky

You can pickup three issues of my new ongoing series with @morganbeem.bsky.social, The Author Immortal, right now at your local comic shop or digital. A beautiful watercolor portal fantasy that explores death of the author, identity, and what happens when you outgrow stories that raised you.

Just girl things 💖

Sketch vs Final

Definitely one of my favorite commissions I've had the pleasure of working on :)).
