I participated in Hourly Comic Day yesterday, but couldn't be bothered to post my pages as I was drawing them. They're all up in my Patreon now, as a free post, if anyone wants to read them! www.patreon.com/posts/hourly... #hourlycomicday #hourlycomicsday #hourlycomicday2026 #hourlycomicsday2026

Happy #kidlitartpostcard day! My name is Alec Longstreth and my goal is to pitch four picture books this year. Here is a sample illustration from the first book which I'll be sending around this month! See more of my work on my illustration website: www.alecillustration.com

Remember that even if you do end up drawing them today, you can post them next week!

This is old but I am still feeling this way up to this day.

Looking forward to Hourly Comic Day, on February 8 this year! (And then finishing and posting mine almost a year later, as per my personal tradition)

Hourly Comics Day has MOVED! It's the 20th anniversary and we're taking a stand alongside our Black cartoonist members and friends to demand a change to honor Black History Month- draw your comics on the 8th, not the 1st! hourlycomicsday.com #hourlycomicsday #hourlycomicday #hcd

This song feels angry and sad and hopeful in a way that I really needed today (this week, this month, this past year) emperorx.bandcamp.com/album/renee-...

I'll try to have an interesting day on Feb 8 so have something to document!

Wow, James Baxter posted a 45-minute tutorial on animating walk cycles and it's amazing www.youtube.com/watch?v=vihI...

This skateboard deck has hung in my office for over a decade. RIP Dan Moynihan

I was heartbroken this morning to learn about the sudden passing of cartoonist and illustrator Dan Moynihan this week. I've been inspired by his work for 20+ years. Please help his family during this difficult time if you can: www.gofundme.com/f/support-be...
