World Within the World, the magnificent career-spanning collection of comics by my wife @thorazos.bsky.social, has been nominated for an Ignatz Award at @smallpressexpo.bsky.social! You should vote for her as she is very dear to me and the book is unbelievably good.

This is my pitch for The Dawn Artificer, a GN about a girl and her rooster globetrotting to save the sun.
Editors, if you’d like to create this book with me, DM me! 🐓
