If you do good work or have a good product, you do not need to use spam messaging as a marketing tactic. It does not move the needle. It does ostracize you from whatever community you’re trying to be a part of.

If music makes you happy, helps you push through work or push through an emotional obstacle, it’s good music.

Same with books. Same with comics. This is what art is: wholly subjective and intrapersonal.

Be weary of people telling you what good art is or isn’t.

PS my old boss scared me into deleting all my social media months ago, and I couldn’t get my BlueSky account recovered.

I didn’t unfollow you, comics friends.

Bazterrica has a fascinating way of sprinkling hope and inspiration into a sometimes nauseatingly terrifying read.

NYCC next week. Baltimore the week after.
Prana has BIG things planned for both, and the only way to keep track of all the announcements in one place is to subscribe to The Prana Bullet!

You won’t believe what’s coming next.
