James Burks blurb for The Lionharts!

I read and enjoyed The Devils, Between Two Fires, and Once was Willem…and I’m craving even more weird dark medical horror fantasy stuff

Always exciting when your author copies show up. This book is almost out! #middlegrade #comics #fantasybook #graphicnovel #art #illustration

31 December 1995. Still the perfect goodbye.

A Lord of the Rings cover band called Helms Deep Purple

Rewatched True Grit (Coen version) and I really, REALLY want to draw a western book

Legend told of a priceless treasure in this tomb…it was a rad book and cost $18 ($25 hardcover) and comes out March 3rd! #comics #kidlit #fantasy #ttrpg #dnd #terrain

Playing toys with my next book, on shelves 3/3/26! #middlegrade #fantasy #comics #ttrpg #terrain #dnd

Not every day you get to hold your next book for the first time. Whole lotta work went into this one.

Bombarded by non stop bad news. Trying really hard to channel some joy while writing a fun fantasy adventure. It’s not going well…

Next book’s first page is for my fellow pnwesterners #comics #kidlit #fantasy #graphicnovel #oregon

If you like an author's work, the best thing you can do is buy it. The second best thing you can do is ask your local library to buy it. Or, do both!

My next book got its first starred review (kirkus)! This thing started as a dnd campaign I wrote for my kids 6 years ago, blows my mind its hitting shelves in 4 months. #kidlit #comics #dnd #graphicnovels #ttrpg

Ooh! Got an ai written email for marketing my book. They think my Science Comic will resonate with fans of Science Comics! There’s no way a human could have made these insights.

Just thinking about this classic ad. #apple #eastwing #whitehouse

Throwback to the time i wrote a joke "one-page game" called HOBBYJOB RPG: YOUR HOBBY IS YOUR JOB in an effort to capture the vibe of the freelancer/self employed lifestyle

Deep sea creatures!

What video game do you consider perfect?

Anybody else getting this while trying to cancel Disney+ ?

Seeing the full cover come together finally makes this book feel REAL. On shelves 3/3/26 and preorders are super helpful!

I have never worked with a letterer, and have no idea how anybody plans for it if you don’t do it.

Obligatory repost

I knew carving butterfly wings would be difficult. And it was! #woodcut #printmaking #wip #art #butterfly #illustration

Another Lionharts block carved. Looking forward to seeing how it prints, then complaining about printing an edition #woodcut #printmaking #fantasy #art

Holeee hell the new shinobi is rad. Seriously beautiful art and feels so good to play.

Really missing the good ol days when google image search wasn’t just shop images or slop

Check out Wildfire by @breenabard.bsky.social if you're looking for a "Children's book with a hopeful climate theme." #AskALibrarian

audiobooks are at the cutting edge of weird ass music. I hope it’s the same composer, cranking out 30 second avant garde synthesizer boops

So close to the finish line with this little dood. Surprised how much I’ve loved returning to woodcut. Hoping to have a whole series to sell when my book comes out. #printmaking #woodcut #print #comics #kidlit

Damn. Guess I’ll put on “mama I’m coming home”

Getting back into woodcuts is making me incredibly happy #printmaking #comics #print #illustration #art

Comics are too fast, take me back to art from the 1600’s #ptintmaking #woodcut

My agency put together a beautiful lookbook of all their clients. Feels great to be with such talented folks

I thing makes me feel stupid and incompetent like editing. Until I solve the problem and then I’m a gd genius
