Please share! I will be at AniPop this Saturday selling art! This is a small event put on by artists. It's free to attend. There will be games, prizes, an artist alley and a food drive. Support local artists and donate food to those in need. @anipopartistbazaar.bsky.social

One of the worst things about marketing my comic has been the realization that I have to be loud, and can't just wait until someone finds me. (Which is what I've tended to do my entire life.) You have to put yourself out there, it's tough and exhausting for people who don't want to be perceived.

hey if you are an artist who depends on SNAP, ✅ share some art ✅ share links to where people can buy from/donate to you ✅ share the thread ✅ share someone else's post too ✅ label NSFW/horror/etc. properly ⛔ no AI #artistsonbsky #supportartists #artshare

...So I recently figured out my ability to see UV light might be eye damage from potential Crohn's disease. I get to find out officially sometime in the next few months. "I use a lot of purple in my art because I have an autoimmune disease" is something I could have never guessed. Interesting?

disability is not contingent on having a convenient amount of downtime to experience it, fam. that's why it's a disability

Bon Clay is such a good character. Perfect casting!

I read an entire speech from a surgeon to his apprentices circa 1820's for these couple of lines, hahaha. I might go a little overboard with research for writing. What else am I going to do with my time, though? Socialize to convince everyone I'm a human? ...Which I am, I swear.

And so ends my experiment of "relentlessly marketing my comic for Halloween." Was it successful? I...don't know. Sort of? Not really? But I do now know that making 30 Tiktok videos about my comic was much less laborious than drawing 1 fully rendered comic page.

It is All Souls Day, and also the birthday of a certain coffin-shaped undertaker.

Oh hey I found some fanart I did for @missfester.bsky.social a while ago! Its a comic about an unscrupulous doctor and a mysterious undertaker teaming up to turn a profit in less than upstanding ways. Its got great characters, dark humor, and is perfect for the spooky season! :) #fanart #comic #art

Commissions are Open! Just another freelance artist looking for some work. linktr.ee/thefullbleed...

Colored panel from Cheapjack Gentlemen. Fun fact, Edmund was an underground fisticuffs boxer in his younger days.

A little test, working on a trailer for Cheapjack Gentlemen. I used to make Flash animations as a teen, and I wanted to be an animator at that time. Then I took a class and learned how to animate on paper, frame-by-frame. I learned I only have the patience for short, digital animation, hahaha.

Hi, I'm Brian Lee. I am the writer and artist of indie comic series Necroholic linktr.ee/thefullbleed...

Being a reading/writing learner in a world of audio-visual learners is rough for my social media presence, haha. Promoting my comic keeping in mind that most people would rather watch a video than look at a picture/read text has been a challenge to accommodate to, hahaha.

To tell stories that that move people and have an audience that feels as deeply about my stories/characters that I do. Having my work adapted into animation and gaining notoriety would be amazing. Unfortunately, the real world uses money, so making a basic living from it would also be nice.

Sometimes I think about this scene in Cheapjack Gentlemen and realize that this is how my conversations with @/thefullbleedart go, and I am very sorry to him.

I unearthed a ton of old CJG concept art from 2017, including the pilot webcomic short. The old art...yuck. I'm glad I took time to revise before revise the story before starting the longform comic. We would not have Thompkins if I started in 2017. Imagine Cheapjack Gentlemen without Thompkins!?

The Drabsley genetics are...strong. Edmund has many siblings, I'll have to design them eventually, as they'll probably be showing up in his backstory!

A job interview that goes... unconventionally. I almost have this clean-up process figured out! (Both pages are included here.) #art #comic #comics #comicoop #ComicArt #ComicPage #DigitalArt #ArtistsOnBsky #ClipStudioPaint

Should I dust off Toonboom in an attempt to make a lightly animated Cheapjack Gentlemen trailer to enter this Tiktok Halloween contest in hopes of gaining more exposure for my comic, and can I do it before November 7? Gah...

Some Thompkins backstory concepts from 2023. His backstory will revolve around his relationship with Lawrence and the connected issues with his family, what sparked his interest in medicine, his struggles with internalized homophobia, and his problems with low self-esteem/self-confidence.

Youtube is hitting me with the harsh truth with its tag suggestions for my videos, huh?

Midnight Menagerie has updated! This season is the perfect chance to check out my long running horror comedy as the Reflections story line unearths some facts about Romero the vampire #vampire #comics #horror #vampireenjoyers #lgbtq #webcomic

Three glass eyes with portable velvet carrying case and mirror, c.1870. These were likely meant to be carried by an ocularist – someone who specialized in making and fitting prosthetic eyes – to assist them in making the best possible match to the patient’s remaining eye.

These are some of my favorite panels from the most recent Ilworld update. I hope readers appreciate the backgrounds and I am excited to show Rahab getting to talk to this new mysterious character in the next update.

My art in middle school vs. last year. Same vibe still? The first one was for art class and I wonder what the teacher thought when she saw...whatever that is.

The duality of my YouTube watch history

It's a horrible conundrum knowing the science of social media algorithms and marketing, but having too much shame to give in to making clickbait. It's also been terrible learning that success is more about networking.

Whose backstory are you most interested in learning about in Cheapjack Gentlemen? Here's some Wilkinson backstory content -- I've been considering doing some not-spoilery-but-giving-little-hints-drawings of the cast's backstories.

It's an appropriate time to post these caricatures of Burke & Hare I did a little while ago. These two were one of the main inspirations for my comic, Cheapjack Gentlemen. William Burke and William Hare were a pair of murderers (not resurrectionists) in 19th century Edinburgh (1/2)

Thank you for speaking up. It's always good when creators speak up about their negative experiences.

I've read a lot of weird stuff for research into writing Cheapjack Gentlemen -- 1800's surgeon's lectures, anatomy books, embalming manuals, body snatchers' diaries. The weirdest is still The Necrophiliac by Gabrielle Witkopp. Even dark romantasy booktok would be bewildered, I think.

Keep shaming every company you see using AI “art” to market themselves. Tell them it looks bad, shows they lack integrity, and tell them you don’t support stolen labor. Be relentless about it, remind them it’s unacceptable, get yourself blocked. Why? IT WORKS. Shame em & take your money elsewhere.

When am I going to hit the luck jackpot and miraculously become successful with my comic? I'm joking -- but also, I've been working hard this month trying to market it, and I have to say that Tiktok/Youtube have given me more hope in 3 weeks than the alleged large webcomic platform had in 5 years.
