Please read and buy more digital comics from indie authors, bc running an online shop and deliveries takes a lot of time we could spend on writing and drawing 🥲

God, the energy in that room could light up the whole town. I was unprepared.

What a gift to welcome @matthewmercer.bsky.social to Auburn, share some of the people, places, & projects I’m most proud of here, & remind all of us of the power of play & of imagining better worlds — now, more than ever.

Had to do a quick edit to my Bluesky profile...

Thank you to @neddonovan.bsky.social along with Neem, Natalie, and the rest of the @njwebfest.bsky.social team for advocating and showcasing our art form.

The festival is in New Jersey, but the attendees, audience, and accolades are world-class.
