POV: it's 2005 and it's time to pick a personality Danny Phantom: Fair Game is out Nov 4th! #dannyphantom #2000s

FLIP is out today, and @ngoziu.com made one of my favorite comics of the year with this new graphic novel. Pick it up and read it, and then listen to my recent chat with Ngozi on Off Panel about the book and more!

Flip is as raw as it is funny-- it takes a lot of guts to be this open. Congrats Ngozi on a masterpiece!

FLIP is such a stunningly lovely book. It's hilarious, haunting, & beautifully poignant. I love Chi-chi so much...Please do yourself a favor and get a copy of this book!!! Congrats, Ngozi!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 🥳🥰♥️♥️♥️

GUYS, FLIP IS OUT TODAY!!! 🥳🎉🎈 This is my most autobiographical story to date, and so close to my heart!✨

"How was that, Director?" from Please Be My Star, coming out Sept 3rd

please indulge the constant rts the single days i log onto bsky. marketing for my book seems non-existent, and i am very proud of this very beautiful book i spent nearly two years making on my own

saw dog day afternoon in theaters for the first time a couple weeks ago ♡ fwiw erika's opinion is that al pacino is cutest in the godfather (preference for cute, clean-cut boys like christian, cha eunwoo, &c). mine is def that he's most beautiful in dog day afternoon (cute & disheveled)

𝚂𝚑𝚎'𝚜 𝚙𝚎𝚛𝚏𝚎𝚌𝚝. 𝙷𝚎'𝚜 𝚙𝚎𝚛𝚏𝚎𝚌𝚝. 𝚃𝚘𝚘 𝚙𝚎𝚛𝚏𝚎𝚌𝚝 𝚝𝚘 𝚕𝚘𝚟𝚎 𝚖𝚎. 𝚃𝚘𝚘 𝚙𝚎𝚛𝚏𝚎𝚌𝚝 𝚝𝚘 𝚕𝚘𝚟𝚎 𝚖𝚎. please read my book Please Be My Star

this is one of my fav goofs in please be my star bc it's a) me going back to one of my favorite goofs from over TEN YEARS AGO (pictured below; "forever boys" also being what erika calls her Boy Book LMAO) b) this is literally me in the car to sergio trying to show him something & his real reaction

i'm really loving inking finding myself with you ♡ this is one of my favorite panels so far ♡♡

please read my book, Please Be My Star, in which a really cute boy really loves Watchmen ┈ bookshop.org/p/books/plea...

being pedantic: i would say, now that i've written a second book that does this, that it's more accurate to describe my usage of classics like Phantom of the Opera & Alice's Adventures in Wonderland as literary allusions for narrative effect . . . but ya gns aren't treated like "literature" lol

Phantom of the Opera fans, rejoice! Victoria Grace Elliott's Please Be My Star re-imagines the classic story as a high school rom-com that features themes of loneliness, pop culture, and first love. #LibraryCardSignUpMonth #CreatorsGetCarded

avarice is my darling's vice chapter 3 is out today. you can read it. NOW. 👼 download on itchio 😈 or read on the site #aimdv #mydarlingsvice

so thankful for the parents & kids who came out saturday for the library event ♥️ i don't feel like elaborating, but it's been a heartbreaking week to live in texas. always so deeply thankful for the good people who live here

Spent 90 minutes doing research and transcribing the mixed case translation into uppercase - just so I could show Alexander writing in Ancient Greek

coming up next weekend !!

i often feel like my books are more Me than i am

It's no exaggeration to say that the manga industry—and manga fandom itself—would not be what it is now without the historic contributions of Studio Proteus.

re: studio proteus lettering: i am always trying to push my lettering in these scholastic books into a studio proteus hand drawn direction as much as i can/am able. you know, like, not for everything, but especially for characters yelling. it's really present in finding myself with you. it's fun~

I know I work for a different manga factory, but the Studio Proteus look is definitive to me. Manga feels very warm and alive with that style of lettering. Every time I get a chance to push in their direction, I take it.

the best of the best

I've got an event coming up soon with the Austin Public Library ! Saturday, Sept. 13th, I'll be doing a chat & draw-along at the Milwood Branch in North Austin. The event is for 10-18yo & their guardians – seating is limited, so pre-register here ! www.eventbrite.com/e/chat-draw-...

i probably think about paul reubens every day

Please wishlist Catechesis, I want my friends to take forever because they're having fun too!

15 favs in no order . . . • mystery men • beetlejuice • x2 • the dark knight • casino • crash starring james spader by david cronenberg (1996) • pretty in pink • bottle rocket • forbidden zone • raising arizona • moulin rouge • romeo + juliet • rushmore • pride & prejudice • king of comedy + elvis

to continue to be pedantic, there is a 9-panel grid joke very soon after christian lends watchmen to erika lol

Wow, who is this very handsome young man, with correct opinions about Watchmen

i am in high school. a boy in my theater class negs me, saying “i don’t think you’re ready for watchmen.” i am in college. a friend i am falling for finds out i like comics & lends me his copy of watchmen. i am in my 30s. the love of my life re-reads watchmen & excitedly tells me about it.

i gasped out loud when i saw this at the vintage store – i had never actually seen it in person! i loved recreating the typography & recipes from 𝓣𝓱𝓮 𝓝𝓮𝔀 𝓙𝓸𝔂𝓼 𝓸𝓯 𝓙𝓮𝓵𝓵-𝓞 in Tasty. i'm so giddy i now have a copy of my own that i found by pure chance

ive made some pretty great books in the past six years & ive got another on the way . . . u should check them out

forgive me: i don't post a lot bc it makes me worse at my job, which is making comics, which is my favorite thing in the world. on some level, i don't really believe being better at Posting would Get The Word Out. but being raised in webcomics, i can't help but feel like i'm messing up somehow

in my experience, when people get things for free, they don't suddenly want to pay for them

so, it’s just a personal note in addition to these shared messages, but: my fellow lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans, & other queer folks, & those of you black, indigenous, immigrant, & people of color, thank you for your joy. thank you for your art. but most of all, thank you for being born.

it’s been another phenomenally difficult year. living all my life as a queer person in the south in times like these feels particularly suffocating. i try to do what I can, how i can, in my personal life to keep breathing.

TOMORROWWWWWW ~ ! ! !

I have a new graphic novel releasing and you should preorder it! (And if you can't, please repost this!) ✨📚✨ 🔗: us.macmillan.com/books/9781250179524/flip/ summary: A nerdy black girl swaps bodies with her rich white boy crush. Self-love, humor, kpop stanning, boarding school, Houston! #booksky ✨

My personal statement on ICE. #kidlit #mgbooks #esl #invisible

it's been a phenomenally difficult year, month, week; i'm so grateful for the folks who put this together so that i could cosign it. "immigrants are our parents, spouses, and friends. immigrants are our community" could not be more true. please support your community in the ways you can
