I think next year I want to make a better fuss about work I made, once it’s out. What I really want to do is talk about the work I am making as it’s in progress, casually/in the moment, but I’m p much never allowed to do that

Hey comics artists- when you’re laying out pages for print, set up your templates in spreads. The whole point of thumbnails is a big-picture zoomed-out view of what the readers will see. Don’t fight the format- use it

Just put a friends’ xmas card on the fridge using a banana slug magnet and I WISH I could show off my work but it’s a photo of a friend in front of the hearth wearing nothing but a santa hat and the magnet is perfect, very funny in fact, but it will remain private for obvious reasons

When I was a kid, I used to make repeating patterns for fun. I was thinking about that/wondering if I still had any of them archived someplace, when I remembered that I kinda still do this in comics. I should do it More

It ONLY took fifteen pages of inks 🙄 but I finally feel like I’m drift-compatible with the nib-like brush I chose for the book I’m currently working on
(Also I had to drop it from a 20px brush to 15 to compensate for the pressure-curve of my tablet/still get some bounce out of it)
