Donatello, The Brain
AD Stephanie Cheung
This was actually the last of the 3 pieces I painted for the TMNT set for which I was VERY happy to contribute to

Donny wasn't one of my favs until now - his single-minded dedication to toiling away in a cluttered space hit pretty close to home

happy birthday to my queer regency rom-com I Shall Never Fall in Love!!!! overwhelmed by how many people have read and enjoyed it in the last year tbh. THANK YOU to everyone who's read, supported, and/or said nice things, it really means the world #books

Photo of me holding the UK version of I Shall Never Fall in Love surrounded by yellow flowers on a sunny day

Comic panels from I shall never fall in love. A drawing of a girl in a garden clasping another's hands and saying 'you have excellent marriage prospects'. The next panel zooms out so we can see the rose arch looks like a wedding arch, and the other replies, 'I do?'

Comic panels from I shall never fall in love. Two young white people in regency dress dancing very close outside a window, one in an evening dress and the other in a more traditionally masc jacket

Comic panel from I shall never fall in love. A drawing of (the same) two people in skirts sitting in a window seat of a fancy room looking towards two girls by the piano. One says 'do you think her more accomplished than me?' and the other replies 'Well.'

UK comic making pals, if you’ve got a Kickstarter running (or one coming up), there’s currently a Canada postal strike & Royal Mail’s paused shipping there. Evri’s fine for small parcels, but floppies might face delays until the strike is over, might wanna update your backers👍

I am very excited to be chairing this panel, with what I consider to be the best title ever (not to mention some superb panellists, of course)

My fan cover for Montgomery LaMontgommery's upcoming book, finally spotlighting the most upstanding gentleman in all of Gath. THANK YOU for Wealwell @brennanleemulligan.bsky.social, @dimension20.bsky.social. He is everything I've ever wanted - nay, needed - and more.
#CloudwardHo #Dimension20

A faux book cover cartoony illustration in brown and teal tones. It shows the Cloudward Ho! cast in a heroic tableau: in the background, Olethra is happily steering the MechLeod, and Daisuke is up on a cliff, aiming a rifle towards centre frame; closer to the viewer are Van on the left, blowing her bosun whistle with tentacles a-tentacling, and Maxwell Gotch on the right, looking a bit unsure about what's happening; closer still are Monty on the left, holding his notebook and looking sagely off-frame, and Marya on the right, holding a huge wrench close to her chest and staring forlornly off-camera. And in the centre and the foreground, looking directly at the viewer, is the lithe, handsome, elegantly poised figure of Wealwell Gotch, hair golden, moustache curled, dressed in a fine teal suit and resting his hand on a katana. The top reads "Montgomery LaMontgommery", and the bottom "Where There's A Weal There's A Well".
The original designs for the Cloudward Ho! cast are by the wonderful Cait May.

If you missed this, this is a conversation we need to be having as an industry. Right freaking now.

G. Willow Wilson @gwillow.me · 8d

In all seriousness, publishers are going to have to figure out how to market books in the post-social-media landscape. That should be an implicit part of their job. What authors/artists can do on their own is increasingly limited and siloed.

4) If you're an artist in Ireland creating "original and creative work," you can apply to be exempt from income tax if you're earning under €50,000:

Impressive stuff.

Artists' exemption from income tax

We've had a fantastic launch day thanks to all of you! So thank you, truly.

Etheres is my favorite story I've written. This book helped me process loss and grief in a way I never anticipated.

I'm so excited to bring it back to print and share it with you all!

Friendly neighbours

Digital art of original characters Aran and Tao as kids dresses up for Halloween. It’s a New York neighborhood with small old houses, a bit worn down and askew, it’s early evening and the sun is setting painting the sky in orange. Aran is dressed as Batman, in a diy costume, and Tao as a ninja turtle (diy costume). Tao is about to ring the doorbell of an old house, while Aran stopped at the side way and is letting a black cat. The house they stopped on is old and a bit worn down, with two carved out pumpkins glowing in the front yard and on the steps.
From the house window a ghost woman, glowing in green, is looking at Tao as he rings the bell. And a ghost cat glowing in green, is sitting on the ac in front of the window and looks down at Aran petting the living cat.
The street is otherwise empty and it’s a bit of a nostalgic and melancholic scene but also warm.

And hey, while I've got my soapbox out this morning, there is absolutely no excuse for the percentage of women creators on top books in mainstream comics still being this low.
