All set up at #nycc!
Thought I’d take some photos of the calm before the storm. It’s my favorite time to walk around the show floor. Probably not going to get much of a chance to walk around once it starts.
Find me in Artist Alley D-04 Thursday-Sunday.

Only 1 week until #nycc!
We’ll be set up in Artist Alley, table D-04. We’re limited to a 6’ table, so it’ll only be @tyler_awbw (and maybe Moo too) at this table.
But so many more of the creators we work with will have their own table. Look 👀 for more info on that soon!

Day 2 of #ic3tober: Savage Dragon
I don’t know why this pose came to mind when I thought of this character. Had to get some reference for those muscles. Good thing I had a mirror handy 😉

First day of #ic3tober!
Had a lot of fun draw CEREBUS. Thought I’d try out the greytone markers on this, with just a pop of color.
@indiecomicscreator.bsky.social

Finished drawing of Cerebus with grey tones and some color.

Day 2 of opening the store with an upside down “We’re open” sign 🪧
I am going to return it and get a new one, but it seemed appropriate for the first week 😏

Trying to open the store, but not sure how this is supposed to work. Am I missing something here or did I just get sent a defective sign?

Swung by Postmark Books to see @yourfriendjesse.bsky.social and the new store space (they moved down the street).
Good to see so many AWBW books on display including both Young Men in Love ❤️anthologies with The Color of Always 🌈, as well as the Broken Frontier anthology face out on a shelf.

Rescued this old marker display rack. Spent a few hours cleaning off the dust, but now it’s looking pretty good! Don’t know if I’ve got enough markers to fill it all, but I can get a good variety in there & room for box sets at the bottom.
What are the best sketch & acrylic markers you’ve used?

Got some fancy, new decal signs for the store.
Put the WC Art logo above the art bar🥤and the AWBW logo above the bookcase 📚 and both of them on the glass door entrance.
Shout out to Brooklyn Decal for the installation, Pete Carlsson for the WC logo, and @timdanielcomics.bsky.social for the AWBW logo
