Ordre mendiant

need to pay the internet bill asap so taking a few tier 1 and 2 slots 🙏

it's 36 degrees here and i can't get my stubborn-ass-mule-of-a mother to even put on a coat to go to the blood doctor "my vest is fine" it's too fucking early for this nonsense

i've been my partner's hairdresser since 2020 (cutting my own hair for 20+ years) we went much longer between trims this time. took all this off and it's still shoulder length. i'll need to do a touch up trim in a day or two because they forgot about the "swoopy-do-flip-out" it does at this length

seeing that call for submissions going around again (from people i like/respect) but $100 for a full-ass comic is not just insulting, but actively bad for you & entire comics community. the rumpus is a vanity press in the worst sense. if it won't even cover your electricity bill, they are using you

Oh, it’s the 4th anniversary of Elden Ring. Only game that I obsessed enough over to do a journal for.

before I head out for errands and before Black History Month winds down I wanted to highlight an artist I grew up with who was very inspirational to me one of my godmother's sisters was a local artist named Charlotte Lewis, she has several big portraits around Portland though some are long gone now

Happy Twin Peaks Day! Here's an illustration I did many moons ago for Black Lodge Burlesque—a David Lynch Themed Burlesque show in Portland, Or.

Halo Book Birthday…!! Singing Justice Singing Peace: The Story of Joan Baez is out now! 🫶🏼🕊️ Just like Joan, we each have a part to play in this fight for a better world, and it all starts with your voice.

Carnet. Des boîtes à ranger, plein plein.

As we barrel towards the end of the first quarter of 2026, I am available for potential art jobs. Covers, interiors, album/apparel art, cat sitting, personal commissions, etc. I've got 11 years experience in comics, as well as character/bg design for animation.

my younger brother went to see englebert humperdinck and that 90 year freak was putting handkerchiefs down his pants "in case his belly sweats" and then throwing em into the crowd. insane, even for lounge singer standards

Beautiful new anthology from Ross Jackson, Molly Lecko Herro, Aaron Fairchild and myself 🥹❤️‍🔥 printed by the amazing Secrrt Room Press! If you’re in Portland tonight we will be doing a reading at Secret Room at 7pm 🫶🏼

🎨🖌️ I gotta few lil pieces in a really big show of little pieces at the Purple Door gallery on Division St PDX having a second reception tonight since last night was max capacity. 🎉

Ernesto Garcia Cabral is someone who should be talked about more in the western illustration canon

After scripting all 5 issues, I started art work on my B&W, hand-lettered independent comic. I always try to turn spite into fuel, and this is my book that will be 100% human-made, free from publisher BS, late/missing payments, nonsensical notes, & absent marketing efforts. I’m pumped.

you'd think after spending nine hours in the ER with your mother, you wouldn't have to physically restrain her from doing yard work the next day

Opening up commissions! These are the things I’m most comfortable doing but down for most creative projects. Didn’t put comics on here but always down to talk those too, so hit me up. Using the email on the sheets or DMs on here work fine. 🤘

the "detaching your post" feature from quotes is very nice feature. someone made a kinda dumb addition to something, i detached, but then i looked more at the account and just blocked em for being a dumbass ai user

"That Box We Sit On" A metal box sits embedded in a field. It’s the everyday hangout spot for two kids after school, but why? One of them lets his imagination run. The other mostly jokes about it. get a physical copy at the link richiepope.com/that-box-we-...

it's been a long fucking day. just spaced out & cracked pepper onto some applesauce instead of the cinnamon i intended to use

saw Dig! at the local indie and the balcony seating above me was kinda rowdy. after the movie i walked outside and there were a bunch of shellshocked looking people lighting smokes and it took a second but i realized it was about half the members from both bands (who were seeing it for the 1st time)
