working with artists is one of the most fun parts of making stuff, even when you're just starting out and on a very tight budget! wouldn't trade the experiences I've had working with cover artists for anything

Driving down to Virginia counting all the Flock cameras

Go Suns! (we lost)

I can count on this to get a few RTs when a social media company rolls out a terrible new update

Either through professional channels or personal I've now read my fair share of AI-written fiction, and you can tell pretty quickly it's happening. It's "and then....and then...and then...." without tying loose ends, allusion or foreshadowing. I don't even think these things are very complex at all!

My friends' reggae band, Flying Vipers, is playing at Myrtle in East Providence on August 1! It was my pleasure to design this poster for them, screenprints available at the show. Come on down, PVD! flyingvipers.bandcamp.com

I just love that women's sports teams post an endless stream of lesbian proposals and weddings. I'm so sad for men's sports, get it together, you guys. Look at what you could have

Follow-up on the Providence guillotine story, thank you Steve for your awesome local reporting. We're just continuing tradition! steveahlquist.substack.com/p/oped-for-b...

Dream last night where I was trying to explain who Prince was to someone who had no idea, but I kept reverting to an animated character who Prince voiced which was not helpful

Come to Sawyer's and get your hotdog wines

Did you know you can probably find replacement ear cushions for your headphones? Just upgraded my life so much today

250 years raggity bullshit.

god how am I supposed to draw a graphic novel when it isn't hockey season, it's actually so mean

the excommunication of the convert JD Vance

In defense of Tillie and Comics.

this weekend is Fuck the Fourth Fest in PVD which is my favorite punk show of the year, and I had better see everyone with a personal borg exclusively filled with water, gatorade power and liquid IV

There's a couple things I want y'all to do when you see allegations on the internet provided from one perspective: 1) Were good faith opportunities taken advantage of before going public? 2) What is there to gain from going public?

ah yes let’s all immediately boycott the most anticipated lesbian graphic novel of the year over a claim no one has had time to fact check

I interviewed someone that was detained at Delaney Hall and then suddenly deported. This comic follows some of their story. thank you to my patrons for the suggesting this topic, and E for willing to be interviewed.

Go David Go

Sights of Chicago, I had so much fun, thank you for having me, ALA ❤️❤️❤️

Rock I found on a Chicago beach

Went to my hotel room to rest before evening festivities but instead I'm using my wiles and ingenuity to figure out how to fold this giant book to get it into my luggage

Signing was good thank you everyone!! I did not get a photo signing so here's a dutch tilt instead

omg my standee

I'm at ALA today! Come see me and get an ARC of Fox River Comics Camp! ✨✏️🦊 10-11am: Author Signing at Abrams booth 1-3pm: Graphic Novels & Comics Round Table 3-4:30pm: Abrams Childrens Books Fall Review

ALA bar is like the SPX bar but everyone is in business casual

Went way out of our way for some Ethiopian food that we're eating in a park during a community party blasting R&B I love you Chicago

Stay ready so you don't have to get ready (packing a swimsuit on every trip even though the hotels never have a pool)

If you're going to ALA this weekend, remember that Chicago still has unionized taxis and an app you can call them with (Curb) so there's no need to be a scrub with Uber or Lyft

It's so freaking good (my pre-order arrived early hehehh)

Ink drawing for the reggae band Flying Vipers xoxox

drawing this book is always so funny to me, when I finish a page it's like it's always been there. like it's a manifestation of the truth, outside of time. the page had always been there and will always be here.

I have a friend whose storyboarding work for live action commercials completely evaporated three years ago, poof, gone. You can see how for 30 second commercials that's easier for AI to accomplish than feature films, but it's here, and it's happened already.

Transcending

I'm going to ALA this weekend and Abrams is sending me and @derfbackderf.bsky.social to an event, lots of other cartoonists will be there, but me and Derf are the only Abrams authors going, and the paperwork keeps reading like me and Derf are doing this thing by ourselves and it keeps cracking me up

At my favorite engineering education conference (ASEE), and they have "the Poetry Fox" in the exhibition hall. Give him a word, and he'll type up a poem for you on the spot. I gave him "comics" because of our research, and this is what he came up with. Kind of great!

This Pride help pay the electric bills for House of Compassion, which started 30 years ago as an AIDs hospice and is now a home for disabled, elderly and homeless folks. They luckily have had their electricity rate adjusted going forward, but still have to pay $9k: www.givesendgo.com/fundraising-...

I had the honor of quoting this book-- big, big fan!

Lol got myself in trouble in the Tiktok comments of a Millennial making fun of a Gen Z retail worker. Look man if you need store employees to always be exceedingly nice to you then you are clearly not a cool person. I for one am someone who loves a bitch

Happy Summer Solstice, everybody! Hope you get outside and revel in the beauty of summer today. www.cathygjohn.net/store/blessi...
