Folding a big batch of mini-comics today. If you’ve ever wanted to learn how to make small zines like this, check out this tutorial https://docpop.org/2018/01/how-to-make-mini-comics-my-guide-to-cutting-and-folding-an-8-page-zine/

Been rattling around my head to ask, and figure today’s https://www.thefarside.com/2025/09/23/0 is a sign. End of every day, I load up a couple dozen daily #comic strips. Too many are just out of habit or so I can be in on a Comics Curmudgeon joke, so it's time to shake them up. Please […]

OK, since: 1. the topic of Brazzaville Beach came up in a chat; B. I wanted to share that Chip Kidd anecdote about designing the cover; III. unable to find it online, I had to dig out the Print magazine issue and, in photographing cracked the spine — I’m posting […] [Original post on ohai.social]

Wrapped up the album design package around this time last year, but never saw Sons of Town Hall live until last night at Unit B — they’re such fun performers, it was a great time. Cover artist Matthew Hasty was there as well, got to meet and chat with him for the […] [Original post on ohai.social]

Funded so it's a go — it's actually already gone, it's all done, we're Kickstarting to get it printed. I'm the letterer on this supernatural noir with a slice of superhero done in mixed media: https://ohai.social/@BramMeehan/115146683467584588

Tonight…

New comet discovery, low in west after sunset! Comet Swan25B is approx magnitude 7.5, showing a 2-degree ion tail. Binoculars, or a moderate telephoto lens should show it. https://earthsky.org/space/new-comet-swan25b-2025/ A precise orbit and formal […] [Original post on universeodon.com]

When you want that brushy type, sometimes you gotta haul out the old ArtBin.

Hawk got something in the yard, flew up to the mailbox to glare at me when I went out to look.

Sierra Blanca peak by the light of the full moon. The 30-second exposure made the stars trail. #newmexico #photography #moon #mountains #fullmoon

Monsoon magic in the mountains of southern New Mexico. Evening sun shines on Sierra Blanca peak with afternoon monsoon storms in the background brilliant in the full sunlight. Foreground terrain is in shadow, but the flanks of the peak are shown in stark […] [Original post on universeodon.com]

Just appeared at the fencing club, don’t know who left it — but proof, right there in a chart, that curling is more dangerous than #fencing. (despite the visible sources and titles and author's name, unable to track down a PDF)

Glad for the Richter shout-out — I love stuff where you know the artist could paint it realistically, but they give it a (sometimes literal) twist: https://news.artnet.com/art-world/contemporary-painting-trends-2025-2659653

Another comic I’m lettering — a really creepy story with a great hook, and they’re a terrific team to work with. Kickstarter prelaunch is live at https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/christofbogacs/requiem-1-3-hard-sci-fi-collides-with-psychological-horror #comics #kickstarter […]

A comic I’m lettering has just launched on Kickstarter. The Fist is a gritty, adult supernatural noir — and it is a journey. I especially enjoy working with the art, the mixed media’s a perfect fit for this story of transformation and redemption […]

Just about everything Greg Rucka writes* is a favorite, not sure why it took so long to get into The Forged. Loving it, such a great hard sci-fi “bioengineered humanity 10,000 years in the future” kind of thing, but so compelling from the get-go among all the […] [Original post on ohai.social]

Tomorrow! My workshop’s at 11:30, I’ll probably be hanging around the 7000 BC table the rest of the time (where we’ve got copies of the new Dreams of the Roadrunner anthology). https://ladailypost.com/atomicon-hosts-workshops-to-inspire-comic-creators/ #comics #atomicon #losalamos #newmexico […]

Next Saturday the 30th at Atomicon in Los Alamos — running my fast-paced, hands-on workshop on what makes comics comics. Free! https://laconm.libcal.com/event/13852194 #comics #atomicon #losalamos #newmexico

For the feast day of St. Guinefort… it's our usual Friday night sammiches. Though missing having a greyhound around for it.

Inspo on the desk for today’s two big projects.

As expected, bonkers fun. Knowing nothing really when I ordered this, saw the cover and though… “oh, it’s an anthology, there’s going to be a Gatsby story, and a Holmes story, and a ‘Time Machinist’ story.” Oh. Oh, no. It’s all of them together and So Much More. @bookstodon […]

Here we go — ordered this knowing only three things about it: Scioli, Gatsby, and Godzilla.
