#artvsartist I’m very proud of the work I did this year. I illustrated my THIRD picture book. Finished and published my FIRST comic online. Wrote TWO stories and queried them both. All of this has helped me level up in my craft and learn new things that I’m excited to expand on. (1/2)
I’m brimming with excitement as I share this news with everyone:
I am now represented by the incredible @jenazantian.bsky.social
Looking forward to the next steps on this journey that I’ve embarked on ✨ 🧿

In September I will be open to reading new pitches for OGNs for Papercutz. Here are my requirements- 1. Be professional. 2. No witches, cats, bats, zombies, vampires, Scooby doo/Mystery Inc-style mystery gangs, or post apocalyptic stories. We also don’t generally do superheroes. 3. Be original.

One of the many wonderful animated movies from my childhood 💛 thank you for featuring it
Anime was popular in the Soviet Union -- even Andrei Tarkovsky watched it. And animators in the USSR wanted to compete.

The recently restored Mystery of the Third Planet was an odd, wonderful attempt to do so. We explore its story: animationobsessive.substack.com/p/soviet-anime

Got a cool idea for a novel? That’s your concept.

But unless you turn it into a premise, you might end up like Chuck Wendig’s old man lost at the mall—eating fries, forgetting your car.

Let’s fix that.
