picked up watching a lot of hockey this year -- one of the consequences: having to hear fucking Free Bird every time the US scores (luckily I rarely watch the US)

Batman but he accidentally took two Benadryl’s at 7pm. Is that anything?

Hey @patrickklepek.bsky.social - just wanted to stop by and tell you you’re killing it with these interviews. Some of my favorites. I was already going to play Mixtape, but what a good episode dude. Really fun.

Lord give me the strength not to buy anymore hockey cards at the grocery store.

Me but hockey for real

Alright, that’s it, I’m taking on a pseudonym and writing romance novels instead. This real life bullshit has gone far enough.

The internet is ephemeral, so collecting things like this is super cool. Order before April 30th!

SKTCHD BOOK 2025 is here! It might be my favorite yet, as my wife Amber nailed the cover, Kieron's foreword is lovely, and it includes pieces like: - The story behind BONE's time in Disney Adventures! - A big interview with Grant Morrison! - A look at the comic strip boom! - More! Order it today!

Finished reading Sketchy by Makihirochi last month and am still thinking about how cool this manga was. Japanese female skateboarding drama about burning out, in your work and relationships, and then finding skateboarding later in life.

Heated Rivalry got my wife into hockey and now we watch it 3-4 times a week. It’s super weird to think that in November I didn’t really know anything about hockey and now I care about standings and shit. I’m having a great time, but it was not on my 2026 bingo card.

REALIS IS LIVE! After 5 years of development, countless hours of playtesting, and invaluable ashcan feedback, the hardcover edition of @austinwalker.bsky.social's debut TTRPG Realis is now funding on Kickstarter April 1-30. Learn more & back the campaign today at www.kickstarter.com/projects/cru...!

Have a writing draft due in two weeks, so you know what that means? Time to start that noise project I've been teasing for years.

I think I'm done reading ensemble cast-style comics for a bit (your team ups and your big ol' event with the fellas stories). Bit burnt out on the slow progress big guy wars of it all. Give me that street-level, walk-and-talk kind of story again.

Eisner submissions are now open. My fellow comic creators, no matter at what point in your career you are, if you're making comics in any form, these awards are "For You" and you absolutely can be nominated. Let's get small press/self pub comics on that list! ENTER: www.comic-con.org/uploads/2025...

Found a solve for my mini obsession with wanting to always be building gunpla (but not actually starting): Armored Core 6. Time to lock in

Checking out a couple year end lists for music -- here are some choice picks IMO (thread)

Wait, they go 7-11 Gunpla? Alright, it was kind of joke before but now....

guess it's time to get really into gunpla?

New at @comicsjournal.bsky.social: A decade ago, Katie Pryde and her shop BOOKS WITH PICTURES began championing diversity in comics retail with the motto "Comics for Everyone." Now, she talks her near-miss with financial crisis, what she's learned, and what the future the holds.

I’m looking for cover work. More samples can be found on my website. admancartoonist.com/covers-splas...

People were not joking about that Geese album from this year, huh? That thing is wild (positive)

Color of the End: wonderfully realized post-apocalypse manga that dives into loneliness and what it means to be exempt from a mass catastrophe. Also a cute library robot... so... Volume 3 is out this week from Yen Press

Watching Friendship and then The Chair Company this year has been a real treat. I Think You Should Leave was not for me when I tried it last year, but.... yeah, I was probably wrong about that one...

That eraser cover is wild. Looking forward to getting into IM #2 this weekend.

First time a comic I co-created is on the big boyz shelf at my LCS. Feels weird! DEEP NIGHT took ~3 years to get to print, mostly due to my inexperience on a project that size! The art = crazy good, WALOPH did an a hell of a job. If you're in Portland, check out @cosmicmonkeycomics.bsky.social

From 1984-2011, this downtown dive was a venue where, impossibly, musical legends, locals, and total unknowns shared a stage—as well as its disgusting bathroom.

Looking for work once again

#comicwriter friends - I am looking for a new editor for a graphic novel script I'm working on. Looking for developmental editing, not copy edits. (paid) Do you have someone you like? (looking for experienced editor, not a writer who wants to try editing)

Excited to be tabling my first comic con tomorrow with something new and cool to show off. Years in the making. Lots and lots of (self-imposed) edits. 🙏🏻

Some really good reception for this RYKER comic with @admancomics.bsky.social. I only managed to send one person an empty envelope... so that's good. Picture: Ryker print edition at my LCS in Portland, OR on the New Release shelf like a real comic :)
