I took up sketching last Nov. ‘23 as stress reliever and middle finger to AI, and below is my first self-portrait. Plenty to fix, but felt good to try. Definitely not sketching often enough to improve, but satisfying to put pencil on paper.

I’ve seen online communities you noobs wouldn’t believe. Attacking comments in the forums of Usenet. I’ve seen Geocities blinking under a million construction GIFS, and threaded flame wars spanning hundreds of LiveJournals. These memories will be lost…like tears in rain…

This is probably part of why everyone on bluesky is 38 years old: 38 year olds are basically the only people who consider it totally normal to flee a sinking ship and then just casually resume the conversation on the tropical island they end up on. They've outlived dozens of ships.

This incredible game from Massif Press is coming as a reprint from us at Dark Horse and it arrives in 1 MONTH! A labor of love to make this deal happen. So grateful to @orbitaldropkick.bsky.social and @onlyonelopez.bsky.social for trusting me with this. www.darkhorse.com/Books/3013-8...

Kill All Immortals #1 is incoming! The bold, blood-soaked action comic hits shelves July 10th. If you work in #comics and want a sneak peak of Frey Asvald, the immortal-viking John Wick, then reach out to me. She's got violence on her agenda.

If you see a splash page, share a splash page. Darwyn Cooke's The Spirit

There's plenty of classic and iconic splash pages/panels in comics. What's your favorite modern or classic Splash Page or Panel? #comics #comicart Katsuhiro Otomo's splash panel from Akira of them entering Neo-Tokyo is still a favorite.

One farmer's quest takes readers to new heights with Minecraft: Heart of Cobblestone, an all-new official #Minecraft graphic novel, coming this October! GameRant has the exclusive details: bit.ly/3QMIIGG With Mojang, by @andrewclemson.bsky.social & @jeremylawson.bsky.social

Minecraft: Heart of Cobblestone Volume 1 Graphic Novel Series Revealed [EXCLUSIVE]bit.ly Another Minecraft graphic novel series has been announced for fans to look forward to this year, taking inspiration from a fan-favorite playstyle.

Another day another creative and personal connection call that turns down the volume on the crazy of work and the world. Thank you @brendenfletcher.bsky.social. I can't tell you and @gregpak.bsky.social how much I needed those this week. Life boats.

All right #comics folks. What's the cleverest, or most outrageous, or most eye-catching use of an SFX in comics that you love? Like SFX as panel borders, etc.

I encourage other working comics people to partner with a local shop or library and set up your own office hours. It doesn't have to be a big commitment. Just a couple hours a month can do a LOT to build community and nurture emerging talents. I've been at it for 2½ years. Any questions? Ask!

Work has been incredibly stressful for months, but some days I get to have creative calls with folks like @gregpak.bsky.social and it makes it all feel fun again.

I try to pull the camera all the way back at least once a page or strip. It grounds the characters.

Time to break this one out again. New users: there are tons of comics people in the replies! Go follow them!

I really want to see comics twitter rebuild itself here. If you think of yourself as part of that world- whether that means creative, editorial, marketing, retail, library, academia, journalism, criticism, active fan- reply with a "yo" so the funnybook people can find you. RTs help, too!

Friends! #starwars #TheHighRepublic Adventures #2 is out TODAY! Written by @djolder.bsky.social Art by #harveytolibao and ME with colours by #michaelatiyeh from @darkhorsecomics.bsky.social Wild repercussions after the fall of Starlight! #Lucasfilm @spencercushing.bsky.social

This isn't normally my genre of music, but this is some solid songwriting. Stephen Wilson Jr.'s full album has so much Willie Nelson, John Mellencamp, country and even a smidge of Sound Garden and Nirvana hidden in there. Been hooked on this today. open.spotify.com/album/1yoC2W...

I swear #portfolioday (s) are my favorite days. I love seeing all the amazing art people create.
