BATMAN BLACKGATE 2013

I’ve been really busy lately, but I have a short window to share this note I was incredibly happy to write in my notebook a little bit ago. There’s a lo no er write-up on the website (link in bio).

This quote... What people want to replace you with is what they think you already are. If companies, bosses, and boyfriends want to replace you with a robot or an AI model, that’s because they already see you and what you do as simply the workings of a machine with far too many bugs.

My NYCC signing and panel schedule: Signing - bring me something and I'll sign it Panel - ask me a question and I'll answer it.

🚨NEW EPISODE!🚨 This time, we're drawing that evil enemy of Eternia - Skeletor! This episode was amazing! I don't think I've ever been this excited for you to see a new episode! And be sure to show us YOUR Wrong Way Skeletor drawing using #skeletorthewrongway

The animating purpose of representative democracy is to protect the rest of us from the whims of insane rich people, be they kings or oligarchs. The rest is wainscoting.

Seeing the Bill Watterson originals full of pencil lines of stuff that didn’t work, scuffs the eraser didn’t pick up, white out galore and more was something I needed to see to remind myself that nothing is perfect the first go and tweaks need to be made and you’re allowed to try again.

Tomorrow! I’m so excited for this show—it’s my favorite of the year (mostly because I get to see all of my local comic-making friends) and this year it’s even bigger. 10-4 at the Crocker art Museum and it’s FREE! Be there!

Almost done with Long John for good.

I found this while going through stuff from my childhood and I *might* have first conceived of Long John back when I was 9 years old?! tThe similarities are striking, at least. Apparently, I had a mouse character I was developing, but this weird cowboy was just hanging out in the middle of the page.

I’m halfway through the final stage of comic creation process; long story short, I’m almost done with not only sixth Long John book but with Long John overall. It’s a wild realization, to see the end so near, but I’m comforted by the fact that this is coming together so well.

August is ghost month here in Japan, so I'll share a few more ghost stories this month. Probably my all-time favorite Japanese ghost story is the story of Kohada Koheiji. I did a write up about him here: yokai.com/kohadakoheiji Part spooky, part funny, this is a 10/10 ghost story!

Time is running out! If you love sci-fi, if you've enjoyed books that @timdanielcomics.bsky.social and I have done, if you can read, have eyeballs and a heart, Red Vector is a can't miss for you! Today is the last day to pre order!

Drop some bikes.

I’m sad this won’t be released in theaters beyond the festival circuit. Seeing this imagery on the big screen would be euphoric. With hope, it will!

This was a great interview of a fantastic creator!

Hey, Long John. How much of Chapter 6 is lettered?

Everybody into tabletop RPG outtakes should follow my podcast co-host, @profounddark.dice.camp.ap.brid.gy because he’s super smart and is incredibly thoughtful about the medium.

AAAAAAA I JUST RECORDED THIS!!!! best lightning capture of my life

I finally put together this little custom block portrait of my character, Long John, that was generously given to me in December by @tauruscomics.bsky.social Thanks so much, Kyrun! I love it!

Had a hankering to do a design of Havok, trying to blend elements of his original Neal Adams costume into it without being too ridiculous.

I did another Corner Box Challenge recently, this time featuring an interpretation of the Marvel character, Magik, from The New Mutants!

If you need a breather from all this bullshit, here's a photo of Earth. From Saturn. We're that slightly brighter star at centre right.
