me, every single time I need to draw a strong man in any pose: why am I not JACKED??? why am I not a 1,90 STRONG MAN so I could take some damn reference pictures?????

Coloring a DESTINY WALKER, FREELANCE WITCH chapter this morning. Coloring is my weakest comic making skill, but I've sort of found a way that works for me. So if you're interested in this sort of thing, here's how I do it --

I saw Marjane Satrapi speak about her work at Smith College 19 years ago, and she said something I have thought about and taught ever since when I teach comics. “I draw what I can’t write and I write what I can’t draw.“

After over a year of other projects I'm finally back to work on this little story about knights in a walled city. I'm super excited to dive back in 🏰🌙

To our dismay, the artist and author Marjane Satrapi has passed away. As she wrote, ordinary Americans and Iranians have more in common with each other than we do with either of our governments, which have far too much in common with each other. We honor her memory and oppose the war.

Genuinely one of the most influential graphic novelists of all time and her passing is so heartbreaking. Please read Persepolis if you haven’t, it’s a poignant story of resistance that deserves all the love

RIP Marjane Satrapi

PAID COMICS GIG: looking for 10+ character designer and 10-page sequential artist for indie superhero anthology. Silver-age design work with modern sensibilities in mind are a must. If interested and available, please email louissouthard(at)gmail(dot)com Thank you! :)

as an animator i can't stress enough how important it is to take breaks and do activities that DON'T involve drawing read a book, watch a movie, play a game, learn how to knitt. you'd be surprised how quickly your creative juices get replenished by just enjoying yourselves

I hate AI for convincing so many people to give up on the mark that is theirs. That mark, that line, trained or yet-to-be, is who you are today, and worth celebrating. I will never see it come from anyone else. Nobody can be you. Thank you to all artists! You make every day better! 🌹

Kisses

A craft a day keeps the dr away

me and my family are moving (same building, different floor) and I just signed the lease so this means it's finally time to buy that (adjustable) standing desk and new chair >:'D *happy to have new things that might help my body long term. sad I'm spending money 😔

real wizards don't support transphobes :-) #transrights#fuckterfs

ENTROPY is our child of love, and it's getting so much of our passion and ideas poured into it that I REALLY hope you will give our demo a chance, so it could possibly speak to you and your tastes -- both in gameplay and storytelling! steamcommunity.com/app/3940340/...

Now is a really great time to subscribe to my Patreon 'cause for $5 a month I'll be posting about my new comic once a week. I'm trying to manage $300 a month for meds and groceries. patreon.com/treelet

If you have nsfw set to "hide" I implore you to set it to "warn". You still won't see anything except for a blurred post Otherwise once they roll out account-wide adult content labeling a whole lot of people including me are going to disappear from your timelines, even our sfw text posts

this week has been hell so far tbh, but would really appreciate some good vibes my way. The vet thinks they found a mass on Frida's bladder and we're gonna try to see it better what it is today... She just turned 10 so I'm really hoping it's something treatable...

ngl that part of the quote was bothering me so much and I couldn't put it into words, but this is it, this sums it up perfectly

This really is it, this is the part that keeps me raging against the machine. Every day of my career I’m shoulder to shoulder with incredible people, pouring their skill & point of view into the work they do, making choices that amaze and delight me. Frame by frame, drawing by drawing…that’s THE job

Can someone tell me how to get better quality pictures on Bluesky? Idk why I feel like every time I post something the quality gets cut in half and I don’t see that with other people 🧐 am I doing something wrong?

Spent the last weekend at Seville for Frannerd's comic workshop. Such an incredible experience! Amazing & inspiring people, gorgeous city (my hostel had Pepe the dog and Puma the cat as doormans!!). I'm still working on my sketchbook pages, but I wanted to share some pictures of my trip before that

I dislike the equating of slop generation to laziness bc laziness actually has value. Lazy art still expresses the artist, and laziness can often breed cleverness, something not possible with sloppers, though they believe they're clever bc a program told them so. Slop use is a desire to be served.

One of the best things you can do as an adult is realize that you didn’t actually have to stop drawing, coloring, painting, playing with clay, doing whatever else you loved as a kid. Even if you’re bad at it. Maybe especially if you’re bad at it

My first starter pack (finally) 💛✨ This is my very personal list of collaborators, friends & recs for comic artists (sequentials/interiors) you might not be following yet - go.bsky.app/EVjJGQ1

Last hours to get your hands on this first issue!! I’m already working on it and, i might be biased but, I think you’ll have a lot of fun reading it 😉 www.kickstarter.com/projects/wel...

It's my birthday + #webcomicday 🥳 So why not check out my webcomic: inbloodwerise.thecomicseries.com ✨️ An urban-fantasy romance that takes place in victorian London! Theodore and Oliver falls inlove and the Fates have strong feelings about it! Very whimsical, much drama, got magic and vampires! :D

I'm currently quite in need of some substantial freelance, contract or agency work. If you or anyone you know is looking for a very experienced illustrator, designer and animator then feel free to get in touch.

So my list of foods & ingredients available in Medieval Europe is getting a bit out of hand, so I'm giving it it's own article, you can find it here: fakehistoryhunter.net/2026/05/10/f...

I was lucky to get an early look at JUSTICE LEAGUE: DREAM GIRLS #1 by @planetx.bsky.social, @nicoleamaines.bsky.social and an all star creative team I will tag in the reply because it is SO PACKED. What an absolute delight of a book. Perfect superhero adventures that is ALSO a great Pride event.

Yesterday @/cy-lindric.bsky.social did an insta live with a model wearing costumes inspired by their new comic La Langue des Vipères, I was extremely rusty (specially with the pink brush pen) but it was great to touch paper again 🖋️

Had to wake up extra early today for a doctor’s appointment, you’re telling me people wake up this early every day? To work??? Diabolical

My favorite local restaurant (tasca) closed today 😭 all of them are retiring together Ate there twice a week, me and all the old people from the neighborhood It’s not hard to find fish in Portugal but damn, that was by far the best one I had in all my 13 years living here, it will be dearly missed
