Thriving at my local coffee shop today. Sometimes you gotta just take the day off work and go be amongst local community and be creative.

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.

Final art from my time on Art Corner earlier this week. Is this a future comic spoiler? Who can say. Is it gay as hell? Definitely. #ships #comiccharacters

Just another one of those "I'd rather be drawing comics" days.

Yesterday I turned 36. Which was less impactful than it might have been because I had forgotten for the 3 or so months beforehand that I wasn't already 36. Anyways, I made it. Happy Sunday.

URGENT 🚨 Our UK copyright is under threat. The MOST important thing we can do is encourage every author & artist we know to respond to the consultation itself - this post breaks it down so it's easy to do! Complete before 25th Feb! againstthebox.substack.com/p/time-to-ha... #kidlit #kidlituk

I'm sorry, what?

I'M NOW OPEN TO QUERIES! Right now, the specific gap I'm looking to fill is for a GRAPHIC NOVELIST (author/illustrator only). Scroll here to see some of the graphic novels and series I've loved, and some new/upcoming ones I'm looking forward to reading. #amquerying #writingcommunity #kidlit #gn

Good thoughts

Sound ON

"No matter who is president, everyone living in the U.S. has certain basic rights under the U.S. Constitution. Undocumented immigrants have these rights, too. It is important that we all assert and protect our basic rights.” Access the free article here: www.rollingstone.com/culture/cult...

I've been thinking a lot about comics lately and the craft and calling of making them. So I wrote myself a comics manifesto. Please comment, share, steal, or disregard.

It is extremely frustrating, when comic artists, who do not write their own scripts are not regarded as authors, but the people who write the scripts are. Publishers- please fill in the metadata correctly the first time. The artist goes on the author line AND the illustrator line. #Equality #Author

BUTTS!

Do you struggle to letter your comics? Do you find it boring? My guide Comic Lettering Basics is for anyone who wants to start learning how to improve their lettering! Originally released in 2020, it just got a HUGE update! 🗨️ PDF: evegwood.itch.io/comic-letter... 🗯️ Print: ko-fi.com/s/21074651ce

HA SUCK IT

The world is a dumpster fire but you can read a cute lil mini comic about werewolves and coffee shop romance for free, so there's that. Check out Moon Beans: download or read on Webtoon. iddstar.gumroad.com/l/anngun m.webtoons.com/en/canvas/mo... #moonbeans #werewolf #queer #webcomic #lgbtq🌈

I think maybe it goes without saying but if you are a nazi or a fascist or a transphobe my work is not for you. I think you are bad and I do not want your money

Whenever I get down, I know it’s time to repost my favorite Scooby Doo fan art I’ve ever made

This goes so fucking hard dude

Comic artists/creators: share a recent comic panel you're proud of making! #makingcomics #webcomics #comics

When the Sunday scaries hit

If you see this, post a fictional artist/band that you would love to see live.

i don't know if anyone outside of comics thinks "in addition to this full time job, i should also in my spare time do something that's both more difficult and more time-consuming than the full time job, or i have failed" yet every comics person i know seems to be afflicted with some form of it

Concerned Nix is concerned. #makingcomics

This is the most satisfying initiative order I’ve ever experienced (feat @iddstar.bsky.social 💙)

Might be time to draw a new profile picture...

me: hey I can’t sleep, do you think it’s because of stress? my hand puppet: *rolls over to look at me* you have had a lot on your plate recently.

VERY urgent update regarding trans/nonbinary people safety & security:

I got to join @seezydrop.bsky.social’s Art Corner stream last night and choose the prompt! I chose “Name a Woman” so here are the girls of Dragoones, Delphine, Eliana, and Nix! . #dragoones #artcorner #nameawoman #strongfemalecharacters #queerladies

TIL! Also, don't forget: Do not subscribe to Patreons using Apple Pay. www.reddit.com/r/assholedes...

If you haven’t read @kcdstudios.bsky.social’s webcomic B-Side You then get on it now! Here is my take on the main characters Danny and Alden 🤘❤️ . #fanart #bsideyou #webcomic #webtoon #art #theyreadorableyourhonour

pandora's box

Understand this: if you outlaw the million or so trans people in America, all you’ll get is a million outlaws. We will not disappear and we will not be bullied out of public life. We will fight with everything we have and until our last breath because our very identities are at stake.
