Just walked by a woman in the store reading a label & saying something like it’s more expensive “ but it’s made in Canada!” 🇨🇦 And damn. If you don’t understand, Canadians are not flag wavers. We don’t say stuff like that. But little old white ladies are standing in the store reading labels.

Anyway, buy my book this Black History Month. An imaginative visual story about mythic beings - world creators & destroyers. Travellers & tricksters. It collects five years of my art. Order from book stores - Amazon, Barnes & Nobles, Waterstones, Indigo, your local seller. Your library!

Can anyone suggest black booktubers for me to watch and follow? #booksky #blackbooksky

Shoutout to Chinese movie posters that are drawn in traditional ink styles rather than just taking renders from the source material I love you

PILOT ANIMATIC THIS WEEK!!!! 🌟

Decades ago, Chinese artists chose to animate traditional paper crafts, painting styles, theater and more. They tried to make animation that was unique to China — and different from Disney. Tons of thought and creativity went into it, as we explore: animationobsessive.substack.com/p/chinese-an...

My 3 completed 16x20” paintings. Is there stuff I would do differently now? Heck ya bud. Am I still happy with these? You betcha I am!

Rosarium Publishing is open to submissions for their PLANET BLACK JOY anthology. We’re looking for spec-fic stories between 3-7k words about joy and pleasure by women and nonbinary folk who identify as Black, African, or Afro-descendent. Deadline is July 1. rosariumpublishing.com/planet-black...

BREAKING: We're beginning live coverage of this major story. Technicolor, owner MPC, Mikros Animation, and The Mill, is on the verge of total collapse. Over 10,000 animation and VFX workers in the US, Canada, UK and India could become unemployed this week.

Make comics. Actually make them and FINISH them and MOVE ON and make another one and another. Start small. Make a one panel comic. Make a one page comic. Make a two or three page comic. Make a five page comic. Now you've really learned something! Keep going.

Call me shallow but the reason I watched the first, The Crow movie was for Brandon Lee. What on earth is this 2024’s remake all about.

Ambessa: Chosen of the Wolf: A League of Legends: Arcane Novel is out today! Written By CL Clark. I don't play the game so I was veeerrrrry curious about Ambessa's backstory when I watched S2. Hope this book clears up some questions.
