Speaking of Kickstarters (it's been a week of promoting Ghostboy and I'm already exhausted) - the California Screaming anthology campaign started today. I'm excited to be writing and drawing an 8-page sinister story set in Pasadena! BUT ONLY IF IT GETS FUNDED. www.kickstarter.com/projects/leo...

The Last Fifteen Minutes film Kickstarter is still open for late pledges. We're a union shoot and doing things like "paying health insurance benefits for our non-SAG actors who can't even claim it"! I'm very pro-union, but praxis is costing us a lot of money! www.kickstarter.com/projects/shi...

They should still make this!!!

"Kirkus called it 'monstrous fun,'" I say. We continue to weep and fall through darkness. www.kirkusreviews.com/book-reviews...

Tumbling through the abyss, I see you falling beside me. I reach out and touch your shoulder, look you in the eye, and whisper with great kindness, “I have a new book coming out in April.” bookshop.org/p/books/shoc...

Please don't use AI for art. I promise your "bad" drawing will have a thousand times more charm than any pseudo-Thomas Kinkade computer puke.

I did this Sailor Moon drawing for a gallery show a million years ago and can't remember why all her enemies are, like, vacuum cleaners and shoes and whatnot. Was I having a stroke? #sailormoon

RATS! Ghostboy is looking high and low for help getting his story funded. Haunted Hill sure has some crusty critters. Not sure how much help THEY'LL be, but you could! www.kickstarter.com/projects/mon...

I regret submitting to the urge to sketch so many skulls onto this image.

A 648 page brick landed on my doorstep today. Get yours April 28th. @darkhorse.com

Nobody draws better ghouls than Drew, and these are the best that ever fell out of his skull.

Mail order commissions are open! I'm doing this without an art dealer so be patient! Or don't. Just get a commission! email or message!

In the '60s, an all-star team of Soviet artists assembled -- including Yuri Norstein. Together, they crafted a gentle, quiet gem called The Mitten. It's lovely stop motion, and it laid the groundwork for the team's later Cheburashka. We explore: animationobsessive.substack.com/p/a-film-for...

Friends, I am not ashamed to say I got goosebumps. (Well, maybe slightly ashamed.)

As Black History Month approaches, a reminder that HORROR NOIRE, the best-reviewed documentary of 2019, is at 100% on Rotten Tomatoes, but is still not “Certified Fresh” because there are only 38 reviews (RT says limited release movies require 40). Is this the year? Will you answer the call?

OPEN.

What do they mean, “unidentified?” That’s clearly Batman.

“art” is an anagram of “rat”. think about that before you look at a beautiful painting

Christmas feels like it was 38 months ago.

Democrats will not increase Mars' budget without the following reforms 1/ Tighten the rules on disintegration and require Martians to coordinate with local authorities 2/ Limits on shrink rays and attaching human heads to dog bodies 3/ No more spy girls, body cameras on, invaders carry ID

Heck yeah I remember Dinosaurs Attack! The colonel's screams still echo through my head to this day.

Anyway, abolish ICE, protect trans people, impeach the pedo, and if there's still time, pre-order my new book, SHOCK CITY PUNKS. (It's about a couple of crybaby meatboys who get repeatedly humiliated. Very satisfying.) www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/711869...

Anyway here's a Calvin & Hobbes I drew a million years ago. Hope it helps.

If you're not in Minnesota and curious how to help, this is a week old but is well organized, includes multiple easy-to-understand bullet points, and seems like a good place to start: www.reddit.com/r/minnesota/...

Depressing to think even if our country survives this regime, we’ll still be locked in here with all these maniacs. But seeing Minnesota fight back so hard definitely keeps hope alive.

If A.I. is "just another art tool" I hope it's not a tool we'll be required to use because damn that seems boring as hell.

This Is Happening! @kickstarter.com www.kickstarter.com/projects/sxb...

So the House is going to vote TOMORROW on the DHS funding bill that includes funding for ICE. There's a real chance we can get Dems to vote NO on any bill with ICE funding to sink it. Once it goes to the Senate we likely lose this chance. 24 hours. Go. www.fightforthefuture.org/actions/no-f...

Heck yeah, MAD's still alive! What, me not worry about that anymore!

TUBI or not TUBI? lolzzzzzz that's right THE PEOPLE'S JOKER is now available to watch for FREE on TUBI! We also just dropped a bunch of new merch at the yeyostore (check it below). It's the best day of your life!

Just 9 more days to back HORROR NOT HATE, an anti-fascist, anti-hate anthology of horror comics and art supporting LGBTQIA+ and Immigrant rights! Was an honor to get to do a cover for this wonderful book! bit.ly/HorrorNotHate

If you work for ice please understand that your kids will laugh at a character based on you dying in an action movie before the end of the decade. They’ll be in movies for really little kids. Like Phineas and Ferb shit. There will be an action figure of you with a detachable head

For people elsewhere who have asked how to support Minnesota while we’re overrun with nazi thugs, here’s an excellent list of places that could use financial help. Lots of choices. Thank you so much! docs.google.com/document/d/1...

1. Did you know that Girl Scouts has, for a long time, accepted trans girls and nonbinary scouts? Trans kids are under attack. Every year, I make a thread of trans and nonbinary girl scouts you can get your cookies from. Lets get our cookies from them this year in solidarity!

Just a reminder that you've never seen a Calvin & Hobbes animated movie or cartoon is because Bill Watterson didn't want to give Hobbes a voice so he could always live inside your head exactly the way you imagined him. And to this day you have no idea who he ever has voted for. But you can guess.

It's Jobs Time. If you've wanted to try your hand at editing comic books (or crowdfunding them) at the best publisher ever, I suggest you apply. DO NOT SELF REJECT etc etc etc (reposting with actual correct link) www.linkedin.com/posts/vault-...

Did this fun cover for the IT LIVES IN THE LAKE indie comic series by Justin Matott and Zac Conley. Three giant monster mouths in one image? What could be finer? #itlivesinthelake
