Hello there, lemme make another introduction here: I’m Auguste, a nb comic artist and illustrator from Greece. I love drawing queer comics and occasionally writing them too

Grabbed the last copy of The Pedestrian tpb at FPNYC and it even came with a signed bookplate by @joeyesposito.bsky.social & @seanvongorman.bsky.social Time to restock if you’ve got anymore, Sean. And anyone who hasn’t read this amazing, hilarious series yet, go pick up the collected edition!

Got to read these 3 comics on my flight home from ComicsPro ✈️ Thanks @dancrary.bsky.social for these “rough cut” editions of upcoming @oni-press.bsky.social series. I enjoyed all three and would highly recommend them all! (see reply for individual covers and credits)

Great advice! Follow @gamalhennessy.bsky.social on here, and be sure to hire him before signing that contract.

Medicaid is not for sale. NASA is not for sale. The Post Office is not for sale. America is not for sale. We have an obligation to resist kings. We outnumber them. And they can be overwhelmed.

ComicsPRO 2025 is a wrap. It’s our 3rd straight year and each time is better than the last. So great to have the whole Chin-Tanner family this year, rocking it at the roundtables. It’s so uplifting talking to retailers who are doing incredible work out there getting books in the hands of readers.

Thanks for the 🍩 @aubreysitterson.bsky.social You helped get ComicsPro and the round tables off to a great start! Everyone be sure to check out Aubrey’s new title FREE PLANET from @imagecomics.com due out May 7! #wearecomicspro #comics #comicbooks

Available for cover work, shares appreciated 🙏🤘 #art #comics

Rafi (@rafidesousa.bsky.social) is one of our absolute favorite collaborators to work with, and it’s a true honor to get the Haunting/Like Father, Like Daughter Crossover gang back together for our newest Everafterverse title, The Little Mermaid & The Pirate Queen!

This crisis has been overwhelming in so many ways, esp for our toddler. Our family is so grateful for the assistance. I try to keep my child and their life offline as much as I can, to protect their privacy and to keep them safe, but this emergency (and asking for help) requires full disclosure.

We’d like to announce THE LANTERN, a passion project built for indie comic creators and readers by indie creators. It’s an interactive digital catalog designed to connect fans with incredible comics & creators. The Lantern Catalog will be distributed directly to readers via newsletter every quarter.

In honor of Groundhog's Day, I hope you'll consider preordering our new @imagecomics.bsky.social series WE'RE TAKING EVERYONE DOWN WITH US.

Idgaf I’m still fighting for guaranteed healthcare. Aspiration is the answer. Not just “we’re not the bad guys.” We need something more meaningful than that. I want a future worth fighting for. They have no vision. We do. Lean into our strengths and knock them out. 👊🏽

WEEKLY WAVE 🌊 for January 31, 2025 We share our conversation schedule, plus Young Men in Love: New Romance is on schedule for a June release. (part 1 of 3, continued in replies)

Hello, all. In a time where everything is so much for so many people, I feel guilty asking but my family and I are in need of help. Even if it is a signal boost, any help is appreciated. I love you all, and I hope you are all safe. gofund.me/980022e5

"The Little Mermaid & The Pirate Queen" METAL COVER featuring art by @terrymooreart.bsky.social www.kickstarter.com/projects/com...

Worth the Read! Book Influencers give their predictions for publishing. Some really good points about diversifying platforms, media crossovers & politics: www.elle.com/culture/book...

I started doing a weekly video update. Easier to watch as a reel or TikTok, but I thought I’d split it up for posts on here too.

Every independently published book is a rugged and grueling act of creation requiring resolve, determination, confidence, creativity, savvy, and guts. To be an independent publisher for 20 YEARS--that's altogether different. Thank you, Tyler & AWBW for bringing us so many incredible books!

New AWBW logo for our 20 Year anniversary. Thanks @timdanielcomics.bsky.social

Hey all - my housing crisis has begun and I’m very much in search of work. I’m currently looking for books and larger projects, but I could use any size of paid work. Here are some samples below, along with my portfolio: redtiebear.com/comic-work-2/ Feel free DM me, and share if you can.

Yup. Microsoft automatically switched me to the $99.99/year version with Spicy Autocomplete. You have to go all the way through "cancel subscription" to be presented these options and get the $69.99/year one you actually chose.

Wearing a mask in public indoors is better than any stupid fuckin icon or flag you add to your social media to show "what an ally" you are! Wear the mask, normalize that shit, contribute tangibly to the safety and wellness of your community!

It’s a brand new Cryptid Creator Corner as @byrononeal.com chats with @joeyesposito.bsky.social & @seanvongorman.bsky.social about @magmacomix.bsky.social THE PEDESTRIAN! Byron has been raving about this series so this is sure to be a great chat. Listen now below or wherever you get your podcasts.

We're GLAAD nominated babyyyyy! (@newlevant.bsky.social @awaveblueworld.com)

AOC: I don’t care what Elon Musk is doing behind the presidential seal, but in this country we hate Nazis. Kind of like a foundational defining thing. Two of the foundational things about American history is that we beat the confederates and we beat the Nazis.

I'll be in TORONTO, at WEST END COMICS this Sunday co-hosting a Games Day to celebrate getting this book into the world! Noon to 4pm Play the game in the book for prizes! Or just come say hey and play other games more casually 🖖🏾🙌🏾💜

AOC: "I want folks at home to look at what members of Congress are invested in private prisons companies, and look at the votes on this bill. It is atrocious that people are lining their pockets with private prison profits in the name of a horrific tragedy."

I’m joining the dream team behind Storm on issues #6 and #7, the 50th anniversary issue where I got to design the Thunder Gods: Chaac, Shango, Susanoo and Mamaragan. Here’s a glimpse, anything else is too spoilery to show right now…

Short but sweet convention schedule for AWBW this year. Can’t wait to see everyone again!

Worth the read!

Big news but not all that surprising. While we may not have all the answers yet, this doesn’t really change all that much for us from a publishing perspective.
