I’m Joe. It’s #portfolioday. I write comics.

My first series was nominated for an Eisner Award. My second series won a Broken Frontier award. At this trajectory, my twelfth series will solve world hunger. Yes, I’m annoying.

I like when people ask me to write for them.

Looking for a miracle on our Kickstarter! Last 39 hours. @viniciuscarreiro.bsky.social is offering these really cool supervillain OCs. He made me one and a few of the backers too!

Manga is so much better than English comics.

How many English comics are there about a chubby girl at the gym? NONE.

Manga? AT LEAST ONE.

You know what, Pokemon Legends ZA might be the first main Pokemon game I’m not bothered about.

The combat just seems…very…not for me 🙃

I want to do one comic first but the other comic makes more sense to release and then a third comic seems more fun but probably won’t work and can you see why I haven’t finished anything this year

We lost something, as a species, when we stopped making bad games for every movie.

15 years ago, we would have got a shitty Tron: Ares tie-in game and society would be better off for it.

If you’re curious why I don’t have my yearly Kickstarter up and running…

derek guy @dieworkwear.bsky.social · 3d

About a month ago, the Trump administration got rid of the de minimis exemption, whereby packages valued under $800 could slide in without import duties. Now there's a backlog as the government can't process all of this paperwork, leading to UPS just destroying packages

Business Insider headline reads: UPS is telling customers that their packages coming to the US are marked for destruction.

Waking up with heartburn is a problem that I could easily solve by not drinking Pepsi late at night but I’m not going to stop.

I might be stupid.

I finished Peacemaker! Good show and I reallllllllly like where it’s going in the future, whether that’s season 3 or a new thing entirely.

I have a soft spot for the spoiler-y comic they’re adapting, I want it to come back 👀

I’ve decided I need DC to let me write a Superman comic just so they can replace the S in my name with a Superman logo on the cover.

Catholics on TV: “Oh my, the guilt. I feel so much guilt. CRUSHING GUILT.”

Catholics in real life: “I’m quite fond of ignoring problems.”

Who else could post a supportive message alongside a fireworks machine gun and it’d make perfect sense?

Maybe Lady Gaga?

Chiitan has a dream.
I hope that one day the term LGBT will become a thing of the past.
I will continue to spread my message until we live in a world where everyone can love freely and is free from persecution and discrimination.
Until then, let's all support each other🤍
