Good morning, why do people start emails with "howdy"? Have some decorum, please, it's "how do ye"

"OptumRx, the group’s pharmacy benefit manager, along with its two main peers, Express Scripts and CVS Caremark Rx, have pocketed an extra $7.3 billion over cost thanks to price gouging, according to the findings of a report by the Federal Trade Commission." Lina Khan really is That Girl.

bird zine 2 almost done... it's fun to make a little pokedex excerpt of which local guys I've been thinking about lately

🎹👻ICYMI - Yesterday I got to announce my next graphic novel, Free Piano (Not Haunted). This book is the book of my heart. A spooky, musical adventure about chasing dreams, finding your voice, and navigating family and fame. Your support of this one would mean the world to me. bit.ly/FPpreorder

Big news from an Australian senate committee, finding that generative AI has committed “unprecedented theft” from creatives. www.abc.net.au/news/2024-11...

Do you look for ale and cakes here, you rude rascals?

Me, when I block someone knowing that blocks on Bluesky are public:

Here I am Block you like a hurricane

So excited for y’all to read this graphic novel adaptation of THE RAVEN BOYS! @maggiestiefvater.bsky.social, @sasmilledge.bsky.social and Stephanie Williams have put in the work to make a stunning book. #theravencycle #comics #graphicnovels

TEAR IT DOWN! from new comic for overwatch :^)

I really need to post this one as a reminder to move my butt and do more in this style.

Hello! Happy to finally be here! I'm Sara, a Jordanian illustrator working in publishing + video games! ⚔️I'm co-creator of the award-winning graphic novel SQUIRE, among other books. ✨I draw covers, posters, and books that re-define what a protagonist looks like

Just realized Bluesky has moderation setting? I set mine to "sensibly horny posts only"

So thrilled to announce a new deal, a new graphic novel featuring Giancarlo Esposito (aka "Moff Gideon" for those who partake of the Star War), written with Matt Wheeler and drawn by Jay Martin!

Every time a rando book karen emails a literary agent about something a client said on social media, an angel gets its wings.

First of all it's not a "distraction" that state governments are banning books. Second, the people banning books are *also* gutting public education! It's the same fucking problem! www.nytimes.com/2024/03/06/o...

Word to the wise. 👍👇

I want to reprint my train good sticker (and WTYP fanart !) but maybe with more designs on similar subjects.

Why are so many of these comics sites - Comic Watch, I’m looking at you - a total fucking mess? I try to read a single paragraph and shitty ads constantly push it up or down out of sight. I get you need to make money but have some respect for the actual content, y’all.

Every time I log into Bsky.app, I think of Gadof Blinsky from the Curse of Strahd: “Is no Blinsky, is no fun!”

So thrilled that @katleyh.bsky.social will be working with S&S on SPOKE, a post-apocalyptic slice of life GN about a bicycle courier. If you loved the optimism of "Station Eleven" - that is, the idea that art and culture are what define humans, not purely survival - then this will appeal to you.

Congrats to @cullenbunn.bsky.social on the sale of his horror novel debut: BONES OF OUR STARS, BLOOD OF OUR WORLD! 🌌🔪📖 (True story: his literary agent is a wimp and had to read it with the lights on. 😅)

SO excited to finally announce this book!!

Just discovered the feature of Microsoft 365 that reads my documents aloud to me. The text-to-speech has gotten lightyears better than it used to be - the cadence is almost convincingly human.

Are you looking for an entry level job in publishing? Do you like kids books, horror books, unconventional lifestyle books, and just generally good books? Do you dream of me being your boss? I'm hiring a Publicity and Marketing Assistant for the Quirk Books team! www.quirkbooks.com/jobs/

✨My graphic novel with Estelle Nadel, The Girl Who Sang, is coming out 1/23/24! ✨ You can preorder now at the caard link in my bio! All my love to Estelle, and thank you again to my editor Mekisha Telfer and my agent @comicsispeople.bsky.social for your amazing help and support.

I literally don’t care anymore. Look what happened when we were pitching SQUIRE in 2018. Literally the first response was about “anxiety” as if these major publishers don’t publish Zionist works constantly

I had to make a video about this for Other Apps and I HATE making videos, so please come see me on Friday so it's worth it!! (I am very anxious about an empty bookstore.)

Seeing everyone posting table numbers in the run-up to #NYCC makes me sad that I'm missing it this year! But I'm planning to do my bit in looking after this little newborn potato. I hope to see y'all at MoCCA and TCAF though!

“We live in a midst of a crisis, where our democracy and freedom, our civil liberties are being nibbled away. [...] So I think that the story has more relevance now than when I originally did it.”

Nice shout-out to the Justice League-Black Hammer crossover event!

👉 "The company spent years sacrificing profit for scale, until it had so many customers that sellers couldn’t ignore it. Now that it extracts billions each month from those sellers, it can afford to ignore those customers—or at least prioritize them less."

NYCC preshow is open - taking requests now! Since Bluesky doesn’t have DMs you can contact me here www.kylestarks.com/contact

LRT exactly… also the WAY you draw* (purposely not using the word “ability” here) is ONE tool in your artist toolbox. your work is informed by taste, experience, vision, narrative, storytelling, communication skills, and countless other things. art is not just “learn to draw”

Today's the last day to get 25% off your preorders. Be sure to get a great deal on some of your future faves!
