I just read all of Rigsby, WI in the past two days and it is fantastic. There really is no other word for it. It's raw and feels genuine and real in it's character, tone, story, everything. The art is amazing, and the characters and their lives undeniably resonate with you.

I'm really proud of my book 💕thank you to everyone who gets a copy it means the world to me

Erika is delightful!! Go read!!

Editing & more editing & getting excited !!

Tw blood Righteous Fury Badger (finally remembered his preferred name!) says you should see the other guy. #oc #badger #art #dnd #aishaincolor

Tiny gripe: Got sent a 20 minute youtube video, a long appreciation of a comic series I drew: "Superior Foes of Spider-man." 51K views! The video is made of screenshots, mostly Nick's writing & my art, and not once in those 20 minutes is there any mention of who wrote or drew the comic. Wild.

There are a few copies left of Islands in the Sky first edition along with other goodies to support the Appalachia Comics Project here -- appalachia-comics.myshopify.com/collections/...

I will know my arm situation more definitively after Monday when I finally get to see an orthopedic doctor. I’ll probably do some sorta store sale soon, but if anyone feels bad about my poor broken arm and would like to help, I have a Venmo… venmo.com/u/korybing

I took too many photos, but we made it to the castle and watched the sunset tonight. It was stunning!!

It has been criminally underreported but Kelsey Pfendler has just rowed solo across the Pacific Ocean from the US coast to Hawaii in record time. A 2,400-mile unsupported journey in 43 days, 17 hours, and 55 minutes. Notably beating the Men’s record by 9 whole days.

I cackled so LOUD!!

My Unsounded books are here! I’m keeping the old set for the awesome sketches and signatures, but the new set looks amazing, I’m thrilled to have both!

This plane is mint flavoured.

Turns out the bad thing about being in a walkable town is that walking everywhere when you've fucked up your knee gets it REAL fucking angry real fucking fast. Ow. Ow. Ow. >.< I made it though.

My favorite anthology project going, hands down.

Yo @kelmcdonald.bsky.social and @chrisroberson.net ! We are back for a folklore panel at RCCC!

Someone has just gone and activated my Scorpio vendetta mode.

In case you would like to make this amazing scene your own, I have made a blank template and even a meme generator link: imgflip.com/memegenerato...

Being 1000% honest here: When writing stories I like to leave a bunch of little things unexplained. There are 3 reasons: 1) Allows the reader space to color in the margins 2) Reality doesn't explain all of itself so it feels better to do 3) When I do forget to explain something I have cover for it

Lookit the mural mah baby painted!!!

I think I'm finally processing the insane week we just had. Found a stray puppy, lost a stray puppy. Had an all day amazing boat trip. Ran a DnD one-shot. Did a Paint n Sip. And fucked up my knee pretty bad. Last week was A LOT!

I just finished reading the first arc of FML by @kellysue.bsky.social, @davidlopez.me, Cris Peter & @claytoncowles.bsky.social. God I love this comic. Had to draw some fan art!

Another successful paint night!!

A good colorist makes a page look resolved even if the viewer is color blind. We can all see value (gray scale), so it is important to make sure that you check your pages in gray scale. GRAY SCALE!

In fact we just need 1 or 2 more backers and that should do it!

Just a short note to tell you that Summer on Story Street Flash Fiction Contest is now open! https://storystreetwriters.com/submit-your-summer-story/ #writingcommunity, #submissionopportunities, #writingcontests, #writers

My New Sketchbook is Printed! It will debut at @sandiegocomic-con.bsky.social at my booth 5019, and will be available via my SHOP afterwards!

Please do not send me your story ideas or scripts, especially when they involve commercial characters I already work on. Legally and creatively, I do not want them. I have teamed up with other writers in the past, but those collaborations were arranged by a publisher for specific projects.
