The call campaign is having an effect! The pressure right now is integral, if you are making calls, PLEASE KEEP CALLING. If you havent called yet or took a break, now is a GREAT time to hop on and add to the pressure!

24h comic day is over and I managed my goal of carving and test-printing 24 7.5*7.5cm lino squares. My prompt from Box-Chan was "Butterfly Effect" and I opted to do creepy shadowbox imagery. ✨

The great thing about an event in Germany is that there's always someone who can get the cap off your bottle of sparkling apple juice for you

There's other "Smart" add-ons as well, but that's the one that reads your content.

When picking a color palette, especially if you're aiming for a limited palette, consider the ratio and of each color. Is yellow 75% or 10% of the composition. Why? Am I setting a mood, leading the eye, creating tension or harmony?

The great Naoki Urasawa once said something to the effect of "don't draw so much, let the audience do some of the work!"
And it blew my mind!!!

Get this and my eel zine at Yayuco today or this weekend from @nikismithcomics.bsky.social at her table ✨✨
The Raven Sits, a linocut, handprinted zine / minicomic based on an excerpt of Lord Byron's Manfred.
Yes, I know the raven stone is actually the gallows, but I both dislike hanging people and very much like my ravens a little stupid.
No, I don't know how to make things simple and fast. 😔
