This is the most depressing thing. 30 whole seconds.

Do you ever just reminisce about Yuri on Ice and then get so sad because the show, its staff, and the fandom deserved better? I miss that community so bad, man!

Talking with Gina and Maia was simultaneously humbling and energizing in the BEST way! Please enjoy this conversation about graphic novels, and how we can protect books and reading!

Calling writers and artists for this illustrated story collection! 👀✨ This is the one and only call for submissions Bonedust Press will have this year (opening in May!) So take a gander at the guidelines and start polishing up your pitches and portfolios!

I read this news last night and couldn’t catch my breath. Horrors upon horrors.

huge congrats to @redgoldsparks.bsky.social @ginagagliano.bsky.social and @andreacecelia.bsky.social! and lucky me cause I get to interview these three folks for an upcoming panel to celebrate with CBC members cbcbooks.org/awards-and-b...

Congratulations to my fellow award winners @ginagagliano.bsky.social and @andreacecelia.bsky.social! Looking forward to our conversation with @meglemke.bsky.social this spring :D

I’m a recipient of the Graphic Novel Advocate award this year alongside Gina Gagliano & Maia Kobabe. I don’t even know how to express what this means to me. It’s astounding how much the format has grown. I feel so fortunate and proud to be even a small part of that shift.

Self-consciousness about your art feels unpleasant, but it means your tastes are growing. Your personal taste as it guides your work is kind of an essential part of being an artist. Practice builds your skills and your point of view! You want to develop the Artist’s Hand *and* the Eye, so to speak.

This needs more attention: Zohran SPLIT the straights with Cuomo. ALL of his margin was from LGBTQ+ voters. Every Dem who ever said “we should abandon the transes” needs this shoved down their fucking throat with a ramrod.

this is such a fantastic example of the transformative power of design when used collaboratively and intelligently. the visual design of this campaign is deep-rooted in history and culture and is thoughtful and beautiful

The project of erasing a people includes erasing their name. Look up who is the historic shepherd of the land you stand on today and say their name.

The Apothecary Diaries Vol. 12-13 wins BEST CONTINUING MANGA SERIES at the AnimeNYC 2025 American Manga Awards! Congratulations to editor Tania Biswas and the entire team!🎉🐸👑

I cannot thank @editortiina.bsky.social enough for bringing us on to this project, and being a joy to work with. She's moving mountains and working miracles.

Billy Bat is a comic about the love of comics. (And a thousand other things.) It spans decades and languages and styles, with so many cool details. Brendon and I talked for years about the ways it could be lettered. And swore that we would work together if given the chance. We are so grateful.

You CAN be in your 30's and spend hours every day drawing your OC's for 20 people on the internet, don't let your dreams stay dreams

if you’re a person who enjoys art but doesn’t create it you have no idea how many of your faves are in their artist group chats talking about how much more they’d be able to create if we had universal basic income

Sending out the call again because I am now in desperate need of middle grade and sci-fi/fantasy YA books! 🙏 Oh, and graphic novels and (middle/HS appropriate) manga! Please boost so we can reach as many folks as possible! ❤️‍🩹📚

“When a ceasefire is announced, I will just run. No one ask me where. I myself don’t even know. I will just run, and run. …the important thing is to arrive at a quiet place: a place that allows me to weep for a long time.”

One of my favourite things anyone has ever said about art. You'll be missed, David. 🌹
