Less than 10k away from hitting our goal and you all getting to read the next chapter of Sink Your Teeth In!

Just a reminder, if you've happen to have a podcast, I've got TWO books coming out soon -- AMELIA SHADOWS AND THE MONSTER IN THE BOX in August and THE OCTOBER GIRL Book Three in October -- if, you know, you want to talk to me about it or anything. Feel free to DM me! I'll even shave!

Whenever anybody shares their original work i go BANANAS!!!! MORE!!!!!

For the night crowd

Can't wait to read this (and I no longer have to!!) @ajomasonwriter.bsky.social @dommnics.bsky.social it looks so good!!!

The 35th anniversary comic is out today!! My buddies all put so much love and hard work into this, so please check it out! Not to mention, flippin’ look at this Harmony-styled cover!

Every single piece of software is aggressively trying to "summarize" things for me and it's like being continuously pelted with rocks while running a marathon

I'm watching Drops of God

It seems people are often afraid of liking their own art work due to the worry of being perceived as egotistical or conceited, but you can still love your work and have a huge driving force behind that acting as a love for learning and improving. You can be proud and seek joy while you grow.

Spent yesterday having big ol’ crash out but now it’s time to rebuild. Etsy banned my shop of 8+ years yesterday due to their crummy content moderation bots so I’m starting over with a new store! My shop was about a third of my income so shares are appreciated! 💖🙏 mittiepaul.myshopify.com

Wow today was a BIG DAY on A Safe Place to Live!! Have you read it yet? www.webtoons.com/en/canvas/a-... #webtoons #webtooncanvas

I need a creative timeline cleanse- who wants to share what good stuff they're working on or excited about?

I probably need to get off social media - everywhere I turn I see more people show that they do not care even a LITTLE about artists, or the environment. It's so disheartening

Update - not even gonna bother to white the name out this time. What an ass, and this guy's profiting off of Akira Toriyama's name and work. Livid

"Instead of simply criticizing us" gtf outta here

I dont like showing off things I’m working on early but Im rather proud of this lettering and cant wait to ink and refine it

Waking up to see this huge instagram account meant to be honoring Akira Toriyama's artwork, and the guy is using generative AI. It's so disrespectful and I'm pissed

Lot of discourse flying around about people finding time to write or draw in the ever shrinking sliver of free time any of us have, and I just want to pop up to say... Write when you can. Draw when you can. Anyone who tries to shame you for not writing more or drawing more is a jerk.

The greatest tragedy in manga is a series that you want to read but the official lettering is bad 😭

AI slop flyers are so poorly focused, they cram in tons of unnecessary information with tons of random icons that don't mean anything, and zero hierarchy so that you wind up looking at it like this

YO if you make comics in any capacity and aren't a publishing professional, you absolutely should apply to join @cartoonist.coop!! It's such a lovely community doing great work advocating for better working conditions in the publishing industry and beyond for cartoonists. cartoonist.coop/join/

I’m busy with AX stuff right now, so I will need to elaborate on licenses later, but I really want to shoutout @darrenvogtart.bsky.social who went above and beyond with the design for this. Everyone on the team was blown away when we first saw it!!!

Guess who's sat in the designer chair for this one one!!! One of the coolest things I've gotten the honor to work on and I can't wait to see it in print! Yumiko Igarashi's artwork is SO GORGEOUS

Hot damn, impressive stuff

Look how beautiful this is going to be. Isn't it just swoon?

Whoooo's got a favorite "buddy comedy" comic or manga?

Big thanks to @darrenvogtart.bsky.social for pointing me towards The Return of the Blues Brothers: The Escape of Joliet Jake. What an amazing graphic novel. Blues Brothers is one of my favorite movies and this book perfectly captured that energy. Loved every bit about it.

13 hours left on this one and it needs a little bit to get there to the finish line!!!

I'm currently working on a few graphic design jobs, but a reminder that I'm looking for colourist work in the near future 🎨🌈💖 website (hopefully soon to be updated) here: dearbhlala.com

Only 36 hours to go!!! Get this thing to the finish line!!

The warmth, the breath, the wind, all the colors of the sky, into the night, poetry alive, one with us all, true to its nature and to its core, of peace and prosperity, night between everlasting day, and dawn to us, since upon the window of precipice and perspiration we dance, wholly in the moon of

Please show some support to my friend @mrmad100s.bsky.social's comic "Duppy" on Kickstarter: duppycomic.com - he's so close to the finish line!

Is it... weird that I'm getting advertisements about INVESTING in Tokyopop? That's weird right?
