Leslie Jordan (R.I.P.) spoke at the graduation of my theatre conservatory class and made me touch his Emmy. The award had broken in half after years of making people touch it. (He was genuinely as sweet and funny as he appeared to be on tv and in interviews.)

Did you see issue 4 in your comic store this week?

I know a lot is going on, but I would really appreciate a share. I'm still waiting on a check and I'm wrapping up the rest of my small gigs this week. If you need any art and you like what I do, please consider contacting me. I'd like to think my budget is reasonable, and I put out some good art

Enjoy this rare hatless pic of my tired-but-trying hairline.

Feeling a bit behind lately. Not sure if it’s because of a bankrupt comic distributor, poor social media use, or general lack of reader interest, but I seem to have gone from “Writer of 2024’s Best Original Graphic Novel” to “Owner of World’s Emptiest Email Inbox” within a year.

I’d love this to be under every comic reader’s tree this holiday. Can you help spread the word with a share?

Available now for preorder! Tell your LCS!

When “Something Beyond the Petrichor” was originally conceived, my son was on the way and I wanted to leave him a message that he could hold in his hands and remember when he flipped through his dad’s silly book.

I’d love to get a copy in @realgdt.bsky.social’s hands. I feel like it’s right up his alley!

Looking for a collaborator for a southern horror comic.

Things aren't looking super great right now, so if you have any art you need done, I'm very available. I've worked with Ahoy, IDW, Legendary, Oni, Image, and plenty of amazing indie writers. My portfolio is down below. Portfolio: lanelloyd.crevado.com

I'm hoping to expand my CV with work-for-hire gigs on existing IPs. If you are a comics publisher or editor looking for writers, please reach out at [email protected] . And if you've ever read and enjoyed my work, please share and let me know which IP you'd like to see me writer for.

The reviews have started! Thrilled to be able to pitch to some of the top horror producers working today, but I’d love to extend my reach with a film literary agent. If any of my mutuals/followers have any suggestions or connections to such, please reach out!

Got to drop by @mingchen37.bsky.social’s booth after a busy Sunday to drop off Death Comes for the Toymaker, Grandma Tilly’s Hell-Tech, and Something Beyond the Petrichor. Thanks so much for being so cool, Ming!

BIG ANNOUNCEMENT - PLEASE SHARE! "Something Beyond the Petrichor" is coming back to stores in January! The series will be out in stores on a monthly basis thanks to Philbo Distribution and Lunar Distribution. The Philbo catalogue for January is up now, and the Lunar catalogue will be up soon.

I’m pretty aware of time zone differences. As an east coaster, my rejection emails tend to come in at COB west coast time. What I didn’t expect, was a call from a Hollywood producer wanting to chat about one of my comics during bubble bath time. Few get that call. Fewer get that call full naked.

Currently sitting at a pretty quiet con with pen in hand, but all in-progress scripts have been turned in/finalized. That means I need a new project. If you’re a publisher or editor looking for a writer, please get in touch! I can start today.

Great news! I deactivated X/Twitter, so I have more bandwidth for shameless self promotion here!

I pick up a copy of Death Comes for the Toymaker written by @dakotabrown.bsky.social at Chattanooga Comic Con. This #graphicnovel looks so bad ass! I love the imagery and the idea of Death coming for Santa.
