I am bad at plugging myself but I DO HAVE A PATREON where you can see wips and the occasional early art (you also get to see designs for OCs I keep secret until their public debut)
Supporters also get to read webcomic pages early whenever I'm actively updating

Seconded!! I don't ever scan QR codes, please include a website, email, *something* so folks can find your work!
I see a number of folks who say they're not getting work, then I notice the lack of portfolio links or professional contact emails.

Small thing (really nitpicky complaint), please don't ONLY have your QR code on your cute lil' illustration cards when you hand them to people. Sat down at my laptop today to stalk (professionally) illustrators I've met & I have to get up & find my phone??? for QR code?? Include your website pls.<3

With the acknowledgement that numbers don't equal growth and I'd like to retain my sanity/humanity by not thinking of ppl as numbers:
Having nearly 3k of you guys around is wild. I hope the things that I have brought/am bringing to the table have been... Interesting? Good? Worth something?

IDW is doing a Godzilla run in the horror genre and once again I'm throwing it out into the universe that these publishers should hire me to be a writer for at least TWO (2) stories.
1st one to get people hooked.
2nd one for people to realize they want more and demand that I continue getting jobs.
