On this beautiful morning in Astoria, I cast my ballot for our city and our future. I hope you will too.

I just backed Witching Season - A Witch Horror Comics Anthology by @philfalcowrites.bsky.social and co from Lifeline Comics. So many great creators on this. Go check it out! www.kickstarter.com/projects/phi...

Finally researching the ballot proposals for this NYC election and this from @jfrejnyc.bsky.social is helpful: www.jfrej.org/news/2025/10...

More from Day 2 of @baltimorecomiccon.bsky.social Francine Delgado. @samkidletart.bsky.social @coletron.bsky.social @tylerchintanner.bsky.social (EVERYONE NEEDS TO READ MEZO FROM A WAVE BLUE WORLD)

Look who swung by the booth! Co-editor of The Color of Always and contributor to Sharp Wit, Brent Fisher @danverzone.bsky.social Booth 1908 at @baltimorecomiccon.bsky.social

A fan at #nycc completed the scavenger hunt 🔎 They got their copy of Young Men in Love: New Romance signed by the six creators set up in Artist Alley: @jarrettmelendez.bsky.social @jacobysalcedo.bsky.social @gregandelysee.bsky.social @tylerchintanner.bsky.social Bradley Clayton & Al Ewing!

All set up at #nycc! Thought I’d take some photos of the calm before the storm. It’s my favorite time to walk around the show floor. Probably not going to get much of a chance to walk around once it starts. Find me in Artist Alley D-04 Thursday-Sunday.

So many great creators from Young Men in Love set up in #nycc Artist Alley. I’ll have copies as well at D-04.

Day 4 of #ic3tober: Sin City Taking a break from markers to focus on ink. Already looking forward to tomorrow’s. @indiecomicscreator.bsky.social #sincity

If you missed THE SLASHER'S APPRENTICE, or just want to collect the whole thing in one, you can get your hands on the whole thing just in time for Halloween! Ring in the best holiday with the goriest of fun. Ask your comic shop to order it now so they have it when it releases on 10/27!

Day 3 of #ic3tober: BONE A really fun character to draw. Decided to commit to doing a full sky in the background. Felt too empty without it. @indiecomicscreator.bsky.social

It’s true, I’ll be there in Artist Alley D-04.

Day 2 of #ic3tober: Savage Dragon I don’t know why this pose came to mind when I thought of this character. Had to get some reference for those muscles. Good thing I had a mirror handy 😉

I continue to be humbled by the praise received by FREE PLANET, such as this from legendary cartoonist Walter Simonson. FREE PLANET #6 lands in comic shops October 8!

A bus of Bronx middle schoolers pulled up to the Capitol this morning for a long-planned field trip just a few hours after the government shut down. All Capitol tours were cancelled as the guides can’t work in shutdown. So I escorted them in myself and gave them a personal tour. They were great!

First day of #ic3tober! Had a lot of fun draw CEREBUS. Thought I’d try out the greytone markers on this, with just a pop of color. @indiecomicscreator.bsky.social

Day 2 of opening the store with an upside down “We’re open” sign 🪧 I am going to return it and get a new one, but it seemed appropriate for the first week 😏

Trying to open the store, but not sure how this is supposed to work. Am I missing something here or did I just get sent a defective sign?

Swung by Postmark Books to see @yourfriendjesse.bsky.social and the new store space (they moved down the street). Good to see so many AWBW books on display including both Young Men in Love ❤️anthologies with The Color of Always 🌈, as well as the Broken Frontier anthology face out on a shelf.

Spent some time today putting together a new toy for the shop: an industrial cart w/ mail bins (blue of course) to hold lots of packages 📦 ready to be mailed off!

I just backed Sink to the Top by @joecorallo.bsky.social & @chasebluestone.bsky.social They’re almost near their goal! Go check it out: www.kickstarter.com/projects/blu...

My and @chasebluestone.bsky.social's #Kickstarter for our queer thriller comic book one-shot, Sink to the Top, just went live! This book means a lot to us, so please consider checking out the campaign, and backing and spreading the word if you like what you see! www.kickstarter.com/projects/blu...

Rescued this old marker display rack. Spent a few hours cleaning off the dust, but now it’s looking pretty good! Don’t know if I’ve got enough markers to fill it all, but I can get a good variety in there & room for box sets at the bottom. What are the best sketch & acrylic markers you’ve used?

Last Call for the White Ash annuals 1 & 2 kickstarter by @charliestickney.bsky.social. This is a great series ⚔️ You can easily start w/ these annuals (as I first did) or get a “catch up bundle” to start from the beginning. But hurry, it’s almost over! www.kickstarter.com/projects/the...

The countdown has begun. Can I get the space ready in time? Stay tuned!

Got some fancy, new decal signs for the store. Put the WC Art logo above the art bar🥤and the AWBW logo above the bookcase 📚 and both of them on the glass door entrance. Shout out to Brooklyn Decal for the installation, Pete Carlsson for the WC logo, and @timdanielcomics.bsky.social for the AWBW logo

BTS of me and Chris Brunner's artbook that @tylerchintanner.bsky.social put out a few years back. Going through the mounds of original art I've amassed over the years mostly thanks to the kindness of friends and collaborators.

I just backed Hammer, ACT 1 by @gregandelysee.bsky.social & @amazingdavidbrame.bsky.social This is a great looking project by some fantastic creators! And it’s getting pretty close to its goal. Go check it out: www.kickstarter.com/projects/isn...

We also have Mezo from @awaveblueworld.com By @tylerchintanner.bsky.social @jarredlujan.bsky.social And Val Rodriguez www.kickstarter.com/projects/tyl...

I love this series and it’s been so great working with @jarredlujan.bsky.social @thevalrodrigues.bsky.social @gabcontrerasr.bsky.social & @vargatomicomics.bsky.social on it. Come join the process of completing the trilogy: bit.ly/MezoKickstar...

Went to get an ice coffee this morning and the lady who took my order didn’t even ask for my name. She just put down “Wolverine.” It did not disappoint. When they called it out, I thought I was in X-Men United hearing Brian Cox’s Stryker.

A #signedcomicsaturday blast from the past w/ the 3 issue series Memetic + variant for #1) signed by writer James Tynion IV & artist @erykdonovan.bsky.social This was my first time reading either of their work (I was tabling next to Eryk at Heroes Con ‘15) Been a huge fan of both of them ever since!

I also just backed MEZO vol. 1-3 Fantasy Trilogy on kickstarter from @tylerchintanner.bsky.social @jarredlujan.bsky.social @thevalrodrigues.bsky.social and team! www.kickstarter.com/projects/tyl...

If you haven’t yet, back MEZO. It’s a beautiful, epic fantasy like no other. An absolutely stunning comic series.

ICYMI - @jimmygaspero.bsky.social spoke with @tylerchintanner.bsky.social & @jarredlujan.bsky.social about @awaveblueworld.com's current Kickstarter campaign for MEZO, a Mesoamerican inspired fantasy epic funding now. Audio version - cryptidcreatorcorner.com/episode/tyle...

Gab is the best and does great work! Definitely hit her up for a commission.

A big highlight from #heroescon was seeing @thewolfmaria again, who is an extraordinary talent and positive force in the comics industry. Maria shared her recent journey to improve her health which includes power lifting 🏋🏽‍♀️ Consider me inspired and I look forward to seeing more gains 💪 at NYCC!
