Omg. A rare thing.
My art!!!

I haven’t drawn in ages, but a very precious fictional man had his birthday on Saturday, and I couldn’t resist.

A mostly monochromatic drawing in blue-gray of a pale young man holding a cocktail and cigarette in a 60s style suit jacket. He leans against a dark bar, illuminated from behind by a warm glowing lamp. Beyond him hangs a framed piece of art, partially obscured by heavy curtains. His eyes are large, cheeks are hollow, and hair is dark. He appears aloof.

The project of erasing a people includes erasing their name. Look up who is the historic shepherd of the land you stand on today and say their name.

All vessels from the Global Sumud flotilla have been stopped by Israeli forces, W/ participants detained,w/ and ships confiscated. This raises urgent questions about the legality of Israel’s blockade and treatment of civilians trying to deliver aid. 🌍 The world is watching.

I cannot thank @editortiina.bsky.social enough for bringing us on to this project, and being a joy to work with. She's moving mountains and working miracles.

Billy Bat is a comic about the love of comics. (And a thousand other things.) It spans decades and languages and styles, with so many cool details. Brendon and I talked for years about the ways it could be lettered. And swore that we would work together if given the chance. We are so grateful.

They said BILLY BAT would never be published in the States.
@abramscomicarts.bsky.social proved them wrong.
