You could invite me to your panels, podcasts, and other assorted opportunities to hear me talk about this (and more, probably more?)🎤
Gonna make a lil thread of work for y’all, maybe someone is like “where are all these books coming from” so this way you can familiarize yourself with my writing ahead of the new stuff, okay?

And if you see one you enjoyed, repost and share what you enjoyed about it, I would appreciate it 🥰

Continue loving your friends. Love your community. Stand up for the marginalized. Support and help each other. Stronger together is a saying for a reason.

We recorded a bunch of b-roll and took some pics and we did not even yell at each other once, perfect couple 🤣

We hate asking but a quick review of the podcast would really assist with what @jimmygaspero.bsky.social and I do to highlight some of the amazing projects in the indie comics space.

Help us elevate you. On 🍎 ⬇️ or wherever you listen. 🙏

Remember it’s called “Portfolio” day and a portfolio is about you at your best not what’s new. Too often I see artists sad they got nothing new to show and you need to stop that mindset. It’s your best showing what you’re capable of and that never ages. Good work get framed and put on display.
The next #PortfolioDay is just a few days away on Tuesday, January 13th! Get those portfolios ready!

Go to portfolioday.art for more info!

Good luck! 💛

We’ve been in a decluttering pattern for the last two years (we are sentimental attachers okay, it takes time) and we finally got to the point where I see the vision and it’s got me all:

There is, as always, so much happening. People better equipped than me are sharing news, but I am always happy to boost artists who are fundraising for good causes.

I'll add some below, but please drop a comment if you're doing something similar: 👇🏾✨
