Hey folks! I'm participating in DVPit today! I'll be pitching THE PASSING OF EIR LAHREN, my folkloric fantasy meets gothic romance standalone! This is a pitch contest, so liking/reposting is ONLY for agents/editors (you're free to comment or quote-post though!) Your support means so much!

Hey hey! Issue 1 is out today!

Do you want some under-rated books that totally deserve a lil more love? Then check out the Under-Rated Bundle over on itchio! Over 60 books that haven't quite gotten a lot of ratings! There are sure to be some gems inside (including The Devil in the Woods) so check it out! itch.io/b/3305/under...

Panels I’ll be on this coming week at #NYCC!! Which feels crazy to say! I’ll be walking around on Thursday and Friday, so I hope to see you there! 💛

Hang in there, struggling artists

I dislike the whole “and you’re SURPRISED?!” bullshit whenever anyone expresses alarm at a news event because the people posting it act like they’re wise sages for democracy but are basically doing the work of evil people because there’s nothing evil people want more than for evil to become routine

Many have asked so I finally threw up a chaotic gallery where you can freely view some (far from all...) Widderwood art! Comics, concepts, doodles, illus... WIP, but its got a bit to start. #widderwood www.coyoteprince.com/wwgallery

Hi Internet! I'm Drew and THIS IS MY FACE. If this GIF has ever brought you joy in the past, I humbly ask you to consider making a donation to the National MS Society. It would mean a lot to me and to those I know affected by the disease! Donate at blinkingguy.com

Store's open until late night Sep 26th! Support a disabled artist and their trans partner, get gay animal stickers (or cowboys, or fae...) in return. These varmints are up for preorder and depending on how they do, a pins and/or a second series may come later! #artistshop www.coyoteprince.com/stores

Covid has killed ~5-6x the number of people this year as those who died in 9-11. Both are heartbreaking, ❤️‍🩹 but only one is grieved publicly. The other is barely noticed & declared over

Attention, Exhibitors! We want to invite you to apply for our MICE Mini-Grants! Each year MICE supports self-published comics by awarding mini-grants to our exhibitors to helping print their work, provide marketing, and distribution through Radiator Comics.

My upcoming events for this Autumn! More specific updates and locations to come as things get closer in time :D

add yours!

My partner Marin is looking to get gender affirming surgeries and we're currently struggling a fair bit to get the funds They have a ko-fi set up for any/all donations - we're currently needing about $6k to cover the procedures/downtime Thank you for giving/sharing at all ko-fi.com/U7U613D3A4

Recommend me some horror movies as spooky season approaches 🎃🩸 My existing favorites include Crimson Peak, Pan’s Labyrinth, The Thing, Hellraiser, Us, Poltergeist (among many others). I’m open to almost anything, but bonus points for foreign films, indie stuff, and older films (which I need more of)

Happy Friday

Highly recommend any The Between stuff folks can get their hands on — I’ve been playing a campaign for the better part of a year and I love it!

Neat stuff happening for me in the next couple months, including SPX and guesting on panels at 😳 something bigger (I’ll announce when I get more solid confirmation/closer to the event!)

I've slapped together approximately 173 pages of material that aims to teach programming a personal website with HTML and CSS to artists, animators, writers, music producers, etc. F*ck It, Let's Make a Website Part 1 is now live ✨ Go here to read: bit.ly/filmawPartOne More info below 👇

this is why adult creators are really emphasizing that non-creators be the ones who contact paypal. Of all the paypros, PP is the most likely to act in a retaliatory manner towards individual accounts. If you dont make adult content or youre just a commissioner, you are able to help a LOT

Finally colored these little authorsona assets, which I actually drew a few years ago. I use them for my webcomic, which has been on hiatus for a very long time but I'd like to post to again before the year is out!

Let's breathe in, trying not to cry, and say our goodbyes. 💙 Our final reanimate, a reimagining, is live now! Thank you everyone, for everything. www.youtube.com/watch?v=VLGl...

this might seem like a sad footnote to fascism compared to things like the militarized occupation of major cities, but: if you want to control the future, you have to control the past. and we can't let them have it.

I’m not sure how widespread this is, but I’m taking part in a YouTube blackout today bc of their AI determining ages and requiring IDs to prove otherwise rolling out today. More info (about what’s happening not the blackout) here www.tumblr.com/kniknak/7917...

I cannot express enough to you how much POWER your reposts have on Bluesky. Because Bluesky doesn't have an algorithm on your following page, every person who follows you will see anything and everything you repost. So even if you don't have a ton of followers, your reposts are still STRONG.

Wearily pointing at the sign once again that says you gotta defend porn because these fuckheads see every queer person as inherently pornographic and they always have and they always will. You have to defend it even if you don't personally engage with it because otherwise this happens. ⬇️

and to be clear, i was very clear in asking "can i use stripe for purchases of LGBT content" and both times, different operators have told me that Stripe does not support such transactions theyre not even playing the "oh our brand doesnt discriminate!" song and dance

Artist propaganda I’m not falling for (and you shouldn’t either):

I have *tried* to make a conscious effort to redirect my doomscrolling (and doomlistening) to either reading on my Kindle app or listening to an audiobook, respectively. It has helped quite a bit, even when only doing it on and off.

Tbh comics have influenced me SO much more than any other media. My #comicsdna.

Homelessness is a policy failure, not a personal one.

This is not how corporations respond to an ineffective protest. This is how they respond to a protest that they would like to have go away. So don't let it go away. Keep it going. In fact, Streissand Effect this shit. Call attention to how much they want this to go away.

Artists have been yelling about this for 3 years.

Bluesky doesn't penalize you for using links, tags, using key words like Patreon or commissions, and doesn't have a central algorithm on your following feed, which means all the power rests on you to help your favourite creators be seen!

the thing about moral panics is they aren't about moral panics. it's about community control and rampant bigotry. censorship is a tool of fascists, those who purity police are fascists, and if your disgust agrees with their mission more than the right for fiction to gross you out, you are a fascist

may you have god's blessing

stop directing all the "fuck you"s and "this is unacceptable"s to itch. direct it to the actual places that matter. do it politely. the point is to flood the call centers and waste their time because time is money and money talks to these corporations. resources here 👇👇👇👇👇👇 yellat.money

KEEP GOING

🪪 My concerns about the Online Safety Act remain the same as when I last wrote about it nearly decade a decade ago when it was proposed as the Digital Economy Bill: 1) It normalizes uploading sensitive documents such as ID scans to random websites, which will likely increase identity theft. 1/3

If you were alive in the 1980s, this is among the most wonderful & truly incredible things you have ever witnessed in your lifetime.

In light of the Colbert stuff if you want to keep watching Strange New Worlds but not pay for Paramount+, remember that Strange New Worlds is already effectively cancelled and anyone getting paid for that show already has a contract. None of their money comes from your future subscription fees.

Colbert has the highest ratings of any late night host. "Financial reasons" my ass. This is political.
