went to the Knicks game last night…had to sit strapped to the ceiling, but still fun

Commissions are open

YOUNG CARTOONIST: Boy, I sure love drawing for a living. I could do it all day, every day. SATAN: And so you shall! YOUNG CARTOONIST: But I never agreed to any sort of-- SATAN: Keep your soul. This one's on me. As a connoisseur of suffering, I just enjoy watching it play out.

I can’t figure out if more news or no news is the move right now

my primary motivation to write: feels real bad when I don't

Happy new comic book day! It's easy to forget how much of a MIRACLE it is that we get so many new awesome comic books every week. Don't take it for granted. Revel in its glory. New comics offer a small speck of joy and hope in a downpour of hateful nonsense.

Your outie understands when someone is making a joke on the internet and doesn't embarrass themselves in people's replies

is the cure for male loneliness listening to pancho and lefty on a train

Still not managed to pick up any new projects, and March onwards is looking extremely empty for me, so editors and creators, please keep me in mind when staffing new projects! This will be my 22nd year as a full-time comic pro and I don't want to stop just yet!

Only 9 days and $412 left to go on the @wearezoop.bsky.social campaign for our DIY-as-hell SHITKICKERS #1 and #2! In addition to the books (and incredible variants), options include digital commissions by @captainitaly.bsky.social and script consults by me. DIRT CHEAP!! zoop.gg/c/espositosc...

My hat is doffed in response to the tribute paid by Empire to the late, great David Lynch on its latest subs cover by Edward Tuckwell.

this new New Gods comic is a real stunner, embraces the idea that if you're going to tell stories about next level space gods, you should try your hardest to make them look different than the other books you're putting out

should be the standard for digital comics publishing

now is your chance to catch up on SINK if you are not yet reading this absolutely fantastic book

Artists, writers, editors and comic publishers, I'm having a bit of a lull in my workload so I'm looking for a few new projects to work on. I'm an Eisner nominated, veteran comic book letterer who loves to be creative. Get in touch with me via linktr.ee/droog811
