Props to the scammer who found my website and used the contact form there to pitch their scammy services. It's not gonna work any better, but I do appreciate the dedication to your craft. Really going above and beyond to set yourself apart.

I'm just going to assume that this is accurate and nobody is allowed to tell me otherwise.

Also, dang, folks were not kidding about the absolute clown car of scammers just waiting to leap out as soon as you hit that Launch button on #Kickstarter, huh?

Sierra's story is SO GOOD, and yes I am biased, but also yes, you should definitely check it out! It will make you smile, and smiling is good. This is fact, and I will not be taking questions.

Birthday gift for myself arrived. I'm usually not one for nostalgic re-releases, but I've decided to indulge this once. I spent a whole summer with the original, and am excited to return to Ivalice.

“An independent farmer ///|||___||\\\ break free of the ////:// that have trapped him.” Here’s a preview of my art for the short story “CYCLES” from the upcoming comic SCATTERED FUTURES. Which will be launching on Kickstarter soon. #comics #illustration #scifi #offworld #indiecomics

Sharing more art from SCATTERED FUTURES, my collection of short comics of hope and human connection coming soon to Kickstarter (prelaunch is live now: www.kickstarter.com/projects/ben...) Our first story is "Legitimate Salvage" drawn by @sierrabravoart.bsky.social

What the hell, Star Fleet Academy?! Your advertising promised me a bright and bubbly teen soap, but you decided instead to make a staggeringly beautiful ode to art and life and the place that each holds for the other?

I had the pleasure of reading one of SCATTERD FUTURES' stories. It gripped me instantly with its compelling world-building, relatable characters, and satisfying emotional arc. It's challenging to write short comics, but @bencranewrites.com is an expert at it.

Reposting for the night crowd.

Systemic is an anthology with seven sci-fi stories of people clashing with systemic/societal forces larger than them. Click this link to get your copy: studio12-7.com/products/sys...

A cut above most comic anthos. Some really bright spots in SYSTEMIC, notably @richardfairgray.bsky.social & @artebuen.bsky.social’s stories. Pick it up wherever you pick up these sorts of things, and rejoice.

It's my birthday! If you're not already, maybe you want to give my Kickstarter a follow? Working on this book of quiet hope has helped keep me going through the last year. It's a gentle assertion of simple human kindness in the face of an uncaring world. www.kickstarter.com/projects/ben...

Beast Breaker, an absolute gem of a game that's Breakout as a turn-based RPG is finally getting the PC release it always deserved. Go play the demo for this joyful game of radical hope and found family! #nextfest @ashervo.bsky.social @kandofactory.bsky.social store.steampowered.com/app/4011790/...

Trying to explain to liberal family why they should stop supporting the NYT over their trans coverage is exhausting. Yes, we need independent press, and NYT is a storied institution, but, like... they ain't it. Not anymore. If they'll compromise their ethics on this, why trust them on anything?

I’ve been informed that Steam Next Fest is important! I am actively trying to stay Out Of The Loop and not know these kinds of things, but I guess downloading the demo would be helpful to us!

If you're an artist who hasn’t had a portfolio review or you’ve had a negative experience, @fanbasepress.bsky.social's sessions will offer an opportunity to receive helpful & constructive feedback in a professional, yet comfortable, virtual setting. @raheight.bsky.social @artofdonaguillo.bsky.social

I just got the final cover art from @carlydraws.bsky.social for SCATTERED FUTURES. Y'all... I don't have anything close to the words to describe how perfect it is. I'll share it at 75 followers. (the KS thumbnail is from interior art by @m3rtyn.bsky.social). www.kickstarter.com/projects/ben...

My Kickstarter launches soon for SCATTERED FUTURES, short comics of hope and human connection in a harsh and uncaring universe. The only path to a better future is the one we build ourselves. The work is hard, but it is urgent, and it is worthwhile. www.kickstarter.com/projects/ben...

SAVE THE DATE! The fifth annual Q Con 2026 is happening SATURDAY, JUNE 20th! Join us and over 100 LGBTQIA+ comics creators and cosplayers for a day of celebration, panels, and, of course, our costume contest! Stay tuned for more details, including our incredible special guests!

A little alert for my fellow authors. The scammers seem to be getting mad the scams are failing.

Can you tell I had fun lettering this panel? (drawn by @sierrabravoart.bsky.social) What's made this gruff space-man so expressively ill? Find out in SCATTERED FUTURES, pre-launch live now! www.kickstarter.com/projects/ben...

Priscilla is so good, y'all. She's colored two books for me, and is not only wildly talented, but a true joy to work with. If you've got a character what needs drawing, hire her!

If you're a #comics pro or reviewer, I'd love to send you an early copy of SCATTERED FUTURES ahead of our kickstarter. 3 short comics of quiet hope in an uncaring world. Art by @m3rtyn.bsky.social @sierrabravoart.bsky.social @jnyfmg.bsky.social www.kickstarter.com/projects/ben...

Got sketches from my cover artist for Scattered Futures and y'all... y'all... I had to just sit down and stare at them in awe and joy for a bit. Like, they literally swept me off my feet. This book is gonna be absolutely gorgeous, and I cannot wait to share more! www.kickstarter.com/projects/ben...
