We are close to hitting our 2nd stretch goal on our indie anthology. A diverse line-up of creators telling genre-bending stories in the EroTech universe! We're stoked with the success thus far!

Finally figured out a date for my next KS (and it will be the first new American Dreams issue in a very long time. ^^; )

I'm beginning a Master's in Library Science program, for what will be my third or fourth career change. It's going easy so far. There's quite a bit of carryover from when I worked at a bookstore a few years ago.

Love that. My co-host Jimmy always seems surprised at how many jobs I’ve had. I used to own an aquarium maintenance business called Wet Dreams.

holgermartist.bsky.social•20 hours ago

LOL, love that name!

Got a lot of work because of it. Lots of dentist offices. We’d roll in on the day they were closed, hit the nitrous, and clean some tanks. It was a blast. Nitrous, maybe not the best choice.

Ha, you had a different kind of Breaking Bad operation running!

I have a couple of things I can't announce yet but a lot of my projects are going to be seen by a lot more people and I finished all the pages for the second season of my webcomic.

comicbookyeti.com•20 hours ago

We’re used to hearing I can’t talk about it yet around here. Proud of ya.

My new book hit the top 100 charts on Amazon the other day. It will most definitely chart fairly high on release day - this Wednesday!

Looking for a few more preorders to ensure I land pretty high!

Sweet! Congrats.

Not bad for my 2nd ever book!

comicbookyeti.com•19 hours ago

Every book is a crazy milestone. You vomit an idea out of your head onto the page and it becomes a dream in someone else's imagination as they pour over little characters on a page. Humans are cool sometimes.

nyaliss.bsky.social•19 hours ago

Forgive me here, I'm gonna be honest. This book series is very much dedicated to my friends who aren't around anymore. They should have told us in school "don't do drugs because you'll watch your friends die."

Not sure why I was allowed to survive, but I did. So I'm putting that into these books.

comicbookyeti.com•19 hours ago

I actually understand it all too well. I didn't personally partake, much, but I lost probably five friends in as many years right before Covid hit. The concert road life is tough and vice is just a part of it. I jumped onboard a drug rehabilitation non profit on their board when we lived in WA.

I was incredibly fortunate to be one of 30 people out of 1200 who won a Comics Advocacy Group mini grant!!! Going towards printing the 2nd print run of The Fox Who Became A Girl @trashwytch.bsky.social and i's trans and queer fairy tale comic!! :)))) so thankful and grateful!

Today I read a whole book and watched some zebra and giraffes and capybara out my window as I did

Also, this week I finished the first issue of my new comic, out late 2025

comicbookyeti.com•20 hours ago

That’s some window view.

Animal Kingdom Lodge? That harissa at breakfast on eggs was the bomb.

I’m a big fan of the bread service here.

Over a decade since we were there but it’s a special place. All the animals right outside and all I can think about is the food. 😆

thelongwayhome.bsky.social•2 hours ago

I've spent a lot of time trying to figure out what I want the characters of a comic project (and maybe card game) to look like and I finally feelloke I'm on to something. Still not quite there yet, but also not feeling like I'm floating in empty space.

Been looking at letters and colours for two different new comics this weekend and it's great to be up there with new work again.

not comics related, but getting to work on a bi-weekly basis with the Dungeons and Daddies team on art for each episode this season has been an absolute doozy 👌

That is wild to be able to produce that much original art for a show. Very cool. I’d love to interview them sometime.

notanotheralex.bsky.social•3 hours ago

oh god i’m a idiot sandwich- by bi weekly, i meant every two weeks 😅

comicbookyeti.com•3 hours ago

That sounded like an incredible amount of work. 😆
Are there plans to put together a calendar or a book or something? Seems like a collected thing would be cool.

notanotheralex.bsky.social•2 hours ago

i don’t know- we only started this on episode 07 so there isn’t a full run of drawings... but i would be VERY happy to go back and fill some gaps!

comicbookyeti.com•1 hour ago

It would be a cool Kickstarter book project.

I got to see some very cool art for a 4 page back-up story I wrote for someone else’s comic. It came out better than I could have possibly imagined.

My win for the day was picking up a bunch of Who's Who for 50.cents a piece. Sometimes it's the small things.

It’s often the small things. I practice gratitude every night before going to bed and recalling the small things always puts a smile on on my face.

Moving to the coast to a very inclusive town & finally making comics again.
(New book is massive so not out until 2026 but hopefully worth the wait…)

comicbookyeti.com•20 hours ago

Let’s talk about it when you are ready for promotion. I miss living in a little coastal WA town.

lucysullivan.bsky.social•20 hours ago

Absolutely! If you ever find yourself in the UK then add a trip to Brighton. Lots of comics folk.

comicbookyeti.com•20 hours ago

I don’t travel well these days or I would. Someday maybe that mRNA lupus vaccine will change all that. Up the Gulls! 😆

My webcomic Whispers of the Past is returning from hiatus after 1.5+ years on March 5th!! 🎉

It's not much, but it's something

bwillettcomics.bsky.social•20 hours ago

No this is great news! Coming back from a long hiatus is always a big deal

cronaj.bsky.social•20 hours ago

It's kinda scary, but I'm finally starting to feel like myself again 🥺💕

comicbookyeti.com•20 hours ago

I know the feeling. Four years on from my big health event and my brain is finally starting to recover, or it feels that way anyway, from the damage.

comicbookyeti.com•20 hours ago

It’s definitely a win. That’s awesome. All creative work should be celebrated, especially right now. You are doing the thing. 🫀

cronaj.bsky.social•20 hours ago

Thanks, I'm really trying to despite the current times 😅

luisgodoyii.bsky.social•21 hours ago

I just finished the script for a 2nd issue of my 1st creator owned comic and my kids are developing their own creative outlets

comicbookyeti.com•20 hours ago

Did listening to Master of Puppets inspire them? 😆

luisgodoyii.bsky.social•20 hours ago

It was Weezer but Master of Puppets is reinforcing it

comicbookyeti.com•20 hours ago

One of the cats in Weezer and I came up at the same time. Graduated from Bearden High and I was in the scene there working with bands for a long time.

luisgodoyii.bsky.social•20 hours ago

Oh nice, she's currently obsessed with Weezer.

comicbookyeti.com•20 hours ago

Not my cup of tea exactly but good bunch of folks. I have no clue how many Weezer shows I’ve worked. I’ll see if I can find an old backstage pass. I’ve given away most of them at this point but can’t hurt to look.

Neighbor asked me to walk her dogs but I fell asleep, woke up in a panic in the morning, ran over there greeted by Jurassic Park mounds, gagged my way thru mopping the entire floor & bought them new floor mats but also took their shitty mats to the laundromat & read comics for an hour. Comics YEAH!
