I'm a little sad that I didn't participate in portfolio day, but I've been busy with drafting these pages to really put something together in time 😭

It cannot be stressed enough how important it is to draw for yourself when you can. I drew fanart of my blorbos tonight, and I swear I am so rejuvenated 💪

Please consider getting a commission. I'm having horrible car problems, and every little bit helps.
Hey guys! I'm opening up my commissions due to car troubles. Any help would be greatly appreciated :)

Being an artist trying to talk with other artists is just embarrassing. "I like your shapes and colours!" Mortifying playground shit

I can’t recommend enough that if you want to become a comic writer, you need to read comics. It’s so tempting to try to shove a wall of text into one page or a ton of scene changes, but that makes it really hard on artists to be able to properly adapt that

Just in time to get into the Halloween spirit, I’m teaching a horror writing class with Queens Collaboratory. If you’re in NYC and want to dip your toes into writing horror, this the place to do it. Tickets are $20-$25, and spots are pretty limited. luma.com/9pzyg2tm

it’s National Comic Book Day so help us get this project funded!!!! we have 26 HOURS LEFT AND ARE 31% FUNDED!!!!
Aggressively marketing a book about "touching grass" is forcing me to reckon with how, no matter what heinous shit is carrying on outside, I have to keep living. I have to keep working and paying my people because fighting back is premised upon staying alive. www.kickstarter.com/projects/pow...

A comics anthology about "touching grass", because it's a lot harder than it looks.

To all freelance peers who are struggling to make ends meet this year: it's not you. It's been getting tougher and tougher to get any gigs and many private clients struggle to pay their own bills.
Whatever it takes for us to get through this, please don't doubt your skills and value as a creative ❤️

Gentle reminder that in the late '50s, the U.S. government did not censor comics. Comics companies censored themselves.

Not sure why that crossed my mind today but there it is...

I'm working on the third outline of a passion graphic novel. And oof. I forgot how emotional this comic is.
