I'm almost recovered from my wrist injury and looking to fill some spots in my upcoming schedule!

If you have a series, mini or OGN in the upcoming weeks you think I'd be a good fit for, check my (recently updated!) portfolio and drop me a line :)

Here are some samples + links in next post

I get hipster cred for ordering this before lots of other people were aware of his work, but I’m super stoked to support @hamishsteele.bsky.social’s latest.

To shut down rude behavior instantly, try a simple yet powerful five-word response.

Use this 5-word phrase when someone is rude to you—it's like 'holding up a mirror,' says public speaking expert

When we encounter a rude person, our first instinct might be to fire back with a snarky comment. But that's not the right move, says public speaking expert John Bowe. Here's the perfect response to instantly shut down rude behavior.

*SPOILERS*

The closing page of ORLA! #2 is one of my fave gags I’ve put in a comic, made myself cackle when I wrote it. Though it’s only funny in the context of the page before.

Art by @sallycantirino.bsky.social, colours by @dearbhlala.bsky.social, evocative lettering by @robutoid.bsky.social.

Page of comic art from ORLA! #2. Gwyn, wearing nothing but pink briefs, the rest of his clothes bundled in his arms, is being ushered out of Orla’s apartment, as she abruptly says, “Sorry-Gwyn-I-feel-really-sick-you-gotta-go-I’ll-call-you-bye!” As a red-faced Gwyn starts to ask if she’s okay the door is slammed in his face. As he turns to walk towards the elevator, he sharply exhales into his hand to test his breath, with a “HH!” sound effect.

This is the reason I've dreamed of Bullet Adventures making it to the direct market. Seeing it listed alongside a classic like Bone is pretty cool.

FOC for #3 is TOMORROW, so please let your LCS know that you want a copy ASAP.

I'll love to create some comic book covers! (Please)

Mikel Navarro @uncientovolando.com · 22d

Since 2021, I've been creating small tributes in the form of covers to comic books I liked or that caught my attention. Just for the enjoyment of making them (but also with some hope of making an official one at some point).

There’s a large part of the creative process that involves hours or days of experimentation. Unfortunately, when experimentation leads nowhere, it feels like you wasted a lot of time. The hard part is reminding yourself that you learned what DIDN’T work, and that’s very important.

This was one of the most fun panels I've ever lettered. To check that out, you'll have to get ORLA! #3 -- out from Mad Cave in just a couple of weeks!

Howdy! I'm looking for an unpublished (or barely published) queer artist to collaborate with me on an upcoming, non-profit queer horror anthology short. Full color. Under 10 pages. There is a page rate, but it is admittedly small.

If interested, PLEASE REPLY HERE. If you DM me I will block you. ❤️💀

I think now is a good time to re-post this clip from my Halloween vid last year. Shows like Dead End will always be important. Representation will always be important. Especially in a world where hate and bigotry continue to persist.
