Hi new friends! We make comics, and for the last year we’ve been making a smart, hella gay romcom about weddings, crime, and how shitty rich people can be.

Check out the cover and full synopsis in the link, check the hashtag for a bunch of WIP stuff, and maybe give it a preorder?

Tried a new soda brand yesterday, and all it made me want to do was be a selfish asshole, hoard food and buy a gun. Do not recommend Dr Prepper

PSA to the folks affected by this Hiveworks crap: if you want to signal boost a project of yours or just want to connect with a webcomics veteran who's made a living Despite Everything, feel free to DM me!

It's wretched when artists get screwed like this. Just know my door's always open.

Hi #PortfolioDay 👋 I’m Davis. I love art and make art. 🩵
Digital illustration with a traditional appearance of purple and yellow-orange hues on canvas. The setting is Clocktown, from The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask. A low view of Link stepping away cautiously while looking up past the clocktower at the massive and menacing moon that will soon crash down on Termina. A drawing of a pug, standing on hind legs in a pikachu onesie. The pug's face is partly shadowed by the hood of the onesie and their expression is wide-eyed and askance. A sketch of a cozy pug in a beanie and scarf Banjo-Kazooie fan art. A digital sketch with a traditional appearance and purple-ish to yellowish hues. It depicts Banjo and Kazooie in a reimagined design, as they scale up Spiral Mountain toward Grunty's Lair. Bottles the Mole looks over the top of Spiral Mountain down towards Banjo and Kazooie.

Hey, it’s #PortfolioDay! I’m Ted, of Ted & Ro, and together we make comics!

Currently working on the #WorstManOGN, a smart, fast, gay crime romcom set at a wedding, lettered by @gofrankgo.bsky.social, edited by @phoebehedges.bsky.social and published by @comicstitan.bsky.social!
A comic cover. A cheeky, skinny man with red hair and a red suit is toasting the camera as he's sat flamboyantly in the lap of a burly guy with curly black hair, who's glaring at the first guy. They're sat in a giant wedding cake, collapsing it. The redhead is using his foot to hold up the cake topper, a stylised image of the bride and groom. Sticking into the cake is a giant wedding invite with the title, "Worst Man". In the foreground, falling like confetti, are dove feathers. A five panel comics page, with four of the panels arranged vertically along the left hand side, over a splash panel. No lettering, as it's just a preview. Panel 1: a profile shot of a handsome guy's face. His head is angled down but he's looking up, grinning a little. His red hair is flopping over, he has a black eye, and a trickle of blood is running down from his nose. Panel 2: a shot from behind, showing off the guy's hands in handcuffs as he's sat in a steel folding chair. Panel three: the guy's got a teasing expression on as his interrogator, a large burly guy, walks behind him. We can't see the interrogator's face. Panel four: the guy's rolling his eyes. Splash panel: over the shoulder of the burly interrogator, looking down at the handsome guy. He's looking up at the interrogator, confidently smiling as he talks. A comics panel. A skinny red-headed guy with a nose bleed, wearing a hotel uniform, is looking at the camera and shrugging a bit Two panels of a comic. Both are set in a large, spacious hotel lobby, behind the reception desk and looking out towards the grand front door. Panel 1: a burly guy wearing a vest, pyjama bottoms and a belt with a gun and phone on it is gesturing a little awkwardly, looking embarrassed. A skinny guy wearing hotel uniform is looking a little embarrassed and shy. Panel 2: the skinny guy is now looking overwhelmed and supremely embarrassed. The burly guy is stiffly walking in a huge panic off the side of the panel.

Thinking about that time the My Little Pony comics, of all things, absolutely bodied Scott Adams.
Close up of Pinkie Pie looking at a newspaper comic saying “Hmpf. I thought these were supposed to be funny?” The comic is called Ponybert by Trot Adams. It opens with a building and we see a word balloon that says “Well?” The second panel is of Ponybert, the Dilbert stand-in saying “No one is smart but me.”

It’s #portfolioday!
I’m Dave. I make comics and graphic novels. I would be thrilled to get more cover work or to talk projects for late 2026/early 2027. FWIW I do have a pitch in right now that, if it’s accepted, will push my timeline forward 6-8 months—but I am always planing ahead.
The cover to the second issue of my upcoming MAD CAVE series IS TED OK? A couple of interior pages from the first issue of IS TED OK? A spread from my 2023 Miles Davis graphic novel. A splash page from the second issue of SPECTRUM, published by Mad Cave in 2024, written by Rick Quinn, art by me.

Hi #PortfolioDay! My name’s Alex and I write graphic novels, TV/film, and prose novels. Mostly action/thrillers with strong emotional arcs. Try one, you’ll probably like it:
The cover of my YA urban fantasy adventure REVERSAL, which came out in April 2025 from Dark Horse but they did zero marketing so that’s why you don’t know it exists, alas. Please read it, though, it’s really good and I spent many years of my life on it. Book was a collaboration with Skylar Patridge and Kelly Fitzpatrick, with lettering by Hassan O-E The cover of my action/dark comedy graphic novel BAD KARMA, a collaboration with Ryan Howe and Dee Cunniffe The cover of my graphic novel PARASOCIAL, my second collaboration with Erica Henderson NOT the cover to my novel The Scottish Boy but a portrait of Harry, one of its main characters, by Nick Robles. The book is currently between publishers (thanks, Unbound!) but there’s an excellent audiobook available

along with this letter and its warnings please consider this additional takeaway: if something feels off, if you feel disrespected or stonewalled or exploited--talk to your peers about it. it's very likely you aren't alone. and thank you for reading.

Hi #PortfolioDay. I'm Alison and I like to draw pages which tell a story- comics, book covers, illustrations, all sorts. I like the puzzle of the job: thinking of a good idea to do what is needed in a striking way, am available for book and comic covers in 2026.
