One of Sammy's very limited Commissions has become available on the Kickstarter page. Get on this quick before it gets snapped up! www.kickstarter.com/projects/asa...

With @aaronlosty.bsky.social's drawing, that brings me up to an even dozen screen print commissions. I started this 3 years ago, asking artists I admire to do a 2 colour drawing. While I'm proud of my comics, I LOVE this project and the art it produces. Here's a thread of all 12 in reverse order.

"the watermelon-eater" prints of this drawing are available on INPRNT: www.inprnt.com/gallery/nami... #art #artshop #traditionalart

🧵 HAPPY PRIDE MONTH!! May I introduce you to some LGBTQ+ comics and graphic novels made by queer creators? ❤️🏳️‍🌈 I have devoted my career to writing stories with LGBTQ+ characters and never stop fighting for queer representation in comic books! These are some of my works:

CHOPPIN' BLADES #1 🗡🚘 is now LIVE on Kickstarter! Help us reach our goal - back us now or share the TRILLEST comic of all time! www.kickstarter.com/projects/bec...

Your "dumb little projects" are so important during this harrowing time. Don't forget that. Your creativity has value, for yourself and for the world.

The thing to is with how it’s being run and the Co-ops growth, I can so very easily seeing this grow and grow each year. So…why not just jump in now and grow with it?

It’s comps day!⚡️ Here’s the variant cover I did for ABSOLUTE FLASH 3! And there’s also a Virgin variant coming. Both will be released next week. Hope you all enjoy it❤️🥰 #DC #FLASH #absoluteflash #wallywest #comic #cover #comicbook #allin

This printing press sucks.

Interviewer: Can you explain this gap in your resume. Scott McCloud: See that space BETWEEN the panels? That’s what comics aficionados have named “the gutter...” Tagging @scottmccloud.bsky.social ...

Re: Qs on signing the Rat Queens omnibus. I was not told my work would be included. I do not agree with it being included because the creator made it known yrs ago he would never let my art be reprinted because he didn't want me to be paid. I confronted him about this while I was homeless. Fuck RQ.

In his 2020 article, “Facing the Monsters,” David McConeghy argues that Hellboy draws from the works of HP Lovecraft in portraying a character who must navigate the eternal conflict between science and religion, ultimately rejecting both in the name of humanity. #hellboy 1/6

4 artists & 3 scientists created a series of posters to communicate some of the science issues most important to us. These posters are made to be shared! We're selling them in 4-packs, so YOU can share them outside of the science circles where we hang out online. get 'em squidfacts.bigcartel.com

I wish fiction acknowledged this more. For 99.99% of the population "genius" is not something you can just inherently be. It's a practiced skill. You keep abreast with your field. You avoid ossifying. The brilliant mind of two generations ago can be the luddite of tomorrow.

Not really a panel, but this illustration by Alan Davis stuck with me all through my childhood. Didn't read the books til later, and the story wasn't as grim or dramatic as this image suggested, but this is still my all-time favorite single piece of X-men imagery from any book or movie.

Jumpstart your weekend with a Topspin! #Transformers #Digitalartist #Maccadams

BLOODRIK!!! I worked this drawing up to raffle off at the @fourcolorfantasies.bsky.social FREE Comic Book Day event. Hope to see a lot of folks there May 3rd! I’ve been dying to check out this shop and I’ve got to say a huge thanks to Erik for getting me involved! Can’t wait! #freecomicbookday

I appreciate The Beat's commitment to representing a range of opinion, but I'm troubled by this piece, which doesn't meet their usual excellent journalistic standards. It centers veteran writer, editor, and publisher Roy Thomas, who - since he's quoted at length, has clearly not been silenced. 1/5

Here's my real estate fueled, survival horror, slasher ttrpg, Housing/Crisis. Use sites like Zillow to generate a freak-filled, murder house. Lots of strange encounters that can have wild twists and a Killer/Slasher generator that can create near endless chaos. hulkhoquinn.itch.io/housing-crisis

Being an artist means being your own best friend and your own harshest critic, often at the same time.

Without TOM ORZECHOWSKI, you don't have the total package pop-culture influencing phenomenon that is most immediately called "Claremont and Byrne's X-MEN". A less-skilled letterer, or a letterer whose style was not compatible with the art, would have hurt this series. Lettering is an artform.

I’ll keep this available for the rest of the weekend.

Let me tell you about the weird business that delivers art into our lives, and the impact it has on the long-term careers of artists. This is a thread prompted by yet another article on authors' incomes, and the inevitable reactions from the 'people-would-pay-if-it-was-worth-it-to-them' brigade. 1/

Whoa!!! My mind is blown and I'm so grateful. Thanks to everyone to took an interest in this book! And thanks for making my day AGAIN today, @markosia.bsky.social!

A Thread of Active Kickstarters that I think need more attention and moolah (as a sidenote, I've backed all these myself) www.kickstarter.com/projects/ian...

A long way to go, but I'm not giving up yet! This is important to me because although we're only a 2 person operation at Dauntless we get dozens of subs a week and I would do ANYTHING to be able to say yes to more people. This showcase is a step towards being able to do that! kck.st/3E4y3nQ

Fellow writers, have you ever cried reading something you wrote yourself?? My comps of HECATE'S WILL collected edition are here and I can't help myself! Can't wait for it to be out, the end of April, so you can read it too and let me know if you cried a little! #writerscommunity #comics

Issues 1-6 of THE DEATH TALLY were written while I had dysphoria, so that's how a silly story about a Reaper girl ended up becoming about a miserable cycle that I want destroyed. It won't be a pretty journey for my lead. And that's the point. Also why I'm not interested in reviews. Too personal.

I don't remember the last time I was this emotionally invested
