I'll be leaning into a weekly newsletter as social media is less effective delivering info to the the people who want it.
I just sent out one today. I won't be abusing anyone's inbox - just one email a week. If you want to know about projects, art sales, and cool stuff

Death threats to comics creators on X over a Marvel book?
It's always upsetting, even moreso when it' a friend who's targetted.
It's fine not to like a story, but these so-called fans need to get their heads out of their asses.

These '50s era romance comics were so text-heavy in set up to the comics narrative its almost off-putting. Here's a page-and-a-half of that illustrated text approach diving into comics narrative

I'm enjoying the Chainsaw Man manga - driven by the anime.
One thing that strikes me about the comic is how often it's terribly drawn. Not just one or two panels, but pages at a time.
It speaks to the volume of work these people have to produce on tight deadlines and the burnout rate
