PORTLAND: First Friday Office Hours are this Friday, Dec 5ᵗʰ, 4-6 PM at Books with Pictures! @bkswpicspdx.bsky.social Show me 6-8 pages of comics storytelling and I'll give you honest feedback based on my 30 years in comics. Details in the thread linked below: bsky.app/profile/stev...

if you're one person making a comic by yourself, don't treat yourself like you should function on the same level as comics that have multiple people working on them. your backgrounds can be squiggles and colors. allow yourself room to be abstract with details and give yourself some grace

Been thinking about how food is a right we should all have. That thought led me to this, Just a mama and her kid walking home with their groceries. Wouldn’t it be cool to be able to afford food always? To not have to worry about the cost of living and actually be in the world and LIVE.

Absolutely over the moon to get to be a part of this. Get yours now! ❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥

Books with Pictures (@bkswpicspdx.bsky.social) in Portland, Oregon is a GREAT comic shop, and its owner in @omgkatiep.bsky.social is one of the best. The shop is going through a hard time right now, and if you want to help BwP out, they opened a GoFundMe to help do just that.

I just did a guest artist lecture at KCAI and had the best time ever. The students were so inspiring and the faculty are truly incredible! Thank you for having me KCAI!! ❤️‍🔥

This video from Portland is a metaphor for what is going on in America. ICE trying so hard to get Americans to cross a line and if they don't, dragging them across the line and violently attacking.
