I am also in this photo

I was thinking a lot about the connective tissue between #kidlit work I’m drawn to, the #kidlitart I aspire to, and what I write. It led me to name my kind of creative ethos. ☀️ open.substack.com/pub/jacobsou...

Unsure if I ever shared these old concepts from a game some friends and I were working on!

Grocery store girl who called me cute, you have given me +10 confidence

The hardcover edition of my Alexander Comic Book 1 is 40% off until May 31st! It's a big steal for a full-colour artsy queer graphic novel about Alexander the Great's life and legends. hivemill.com/products/ale...

I would pay money to watch a show of John mulaney just shadowing people doing their jobs after that security segment

ponder it. covet it. preorder it.

Gaining weight made it so hard to find a proper fencing jacket - but I FINALLY FOUND ONE.

We need to be doing this in the states too. I am begging for more talks of freelance guilds like the animation industry has! Community! Mentorship! Equity! Health insurance!

Epic is now officially stuck in my head 😭😭

Happy Independent Bookstore Day! #IndieBookstoreDay

I had so much fun painting at Back Cove Books yesterday! It was pouring, but so many friends came out to support! It was an honor to be painting alongside some incredible artists.

This post goes out to all the wonderful art teachers who encouraged me in school, and the one who told me I had no future if I was going to “just draw cartoons” 😌

shop small for your stickers!! 💖amaz*n stickers will likely only last on your waterbottle for like. 2 weeks tops. I laminate mine with waterproof laminate ✨ 💖mine are WAY cuter and not stolen designs or ai generated 💖I send little handwritten thank you notes on cute stationery! mcapriglione.art

👀 Attn: @goraina.bsky.social – It's happening! 🎉 😁

Oh my gosh….it…LIVES!

This Saturday April 26th is Independent Bookstore Day! Now more than ever, the @americanbookseller.bsky.social and independent bookstores everywhere need our support. If you have time this weekend, visit and support a local independent bookstore in your area. www.bookweb.org/independent-...

A lot of my younger students use the death grip when drawing/coloring and so their hands & arms get sore. When they tell me their arms hurt, I let them know they are pushing down really hard and to go softer. And then I let them take a mini break & teach these stretches.

Found this while looking for something else. A look at the US government’s use of comics ‘for government communication, including both wartime and domestic propaganda campaigns’. Makes one wonder what the latest round of these will be. And who’s going to be writing/drawing them. #comics

Wake up, sleepyhead! Your comics won’t draw themselves—yet. AI hasn’t replaced your weird, wonderful brain. 🧠🖊️

Oh yes please I love these please: the mind horse

I am officially so nervous theres gonna be another bat in the house

My search history from 1am - Cat caught a bat, what do? - how to catch bat in house - rabies?

Here's yesterday's full livestream! I talk about how the tariffs affect comics, improving your approach to branding, simple audience-building strategies… and a lot more! To catch the next livestream event, subscribe to The Webcomics Handbook (free!) at bradguigar.substack.com

Horrible revelation for zag, he can’t sit on the window sill like the cats and has to sit on the chair.

Hey, AI art sucks! #artiststarterpack #realartist #noAI

Me at comics camp next month

Educating Noah on webcomic history

Big Foot is just a little guy having a nice time

It's part of the comics lexicon familiar to manga and manhwa readers: an inverted word-balloon tail indicating that the speaker is off-panel. But does ~your~ reader know that? buff.ly/2mlJ6op
