Would love to chat with you at NYCC this weekend, licensed comics editor pals ;)

Neil Kleid @neilkleid.bsky.social · May 15

Keep putting this out to the universe & have done my diligence connecting with editors/showing them work, but man I'd love to write more licensed books & #comics for #StarWars, #Marvel, DC, @darkhorsecomics.bsky.social, @boom-studios.com & others

Here's a few I've written. I've done a bunch more.

For the better part of a year, my dear friend @toriamos.bsky.social has been talking about this new project. It's absolutely her most ambitious project to date, so I was very proud and honored to be asked to contribute the key art for the album and tour announcement!

Congrat! It looks great.

As a designer, I completely understand! Based on the conversation you and I had about the new Oni, I think you guys nailed it. Hope you're well!

Not wanting to air out my personal business, I haven't mentioned it, but my position @ work was eliminated a little while ago.

I have extensive experience in e-comm, customer relations, & brand design/management, and am looking for full time work. Comics-adjacent would be ideal, but I'm open. DM me

Excited to see everyone Friday and Sunday at NYCC. For those of you traveling here, please travel safely. FYI, its gonna be mid-60's at day, 40's at night, rain on Sunday, with 100% chance of someone shouting at you from a speeding e-bike. BUT there's nothing a local black-&-white cookie won't fix.

“Have to”?

A Jim Ortiz @ajimortiz.bsky.social · 3d

I remember watching and enjoying ALF as a kid, but an artifact of the time is that I have no idea if I saw them all. Am I going to have to re-watch ALF now?

I’ve also watched every episode of Silicon Valley at least fifteen times

Neil Kleid @neilkleid.bsky.social · 3d

::ahem::
I’ve never seen 1 episode of Lost, Buffy, Greys Anatomy, Freaks and Geeks or Firefly - I’ve seen HALF of The Wire pilot - and I’ve never seen Apollo 13, Titanic, Blade Runner, a single Fast or Furious, any Mad Maxes, and only the first Alien and Predators

I’ve seen every episode of ALF

Hannah Fearn @hannahfearn.bsky.social · 3d

Inspired by a post I just saw in which someone admitted they hadn’t seen a single episode of Friends nor the film Love Actually… what cultural hole do you have that’s a bit weird for your generation?

I’ll go first: I haven’t seen Dirty Dancing.

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.

Ok whew. That was way too close, tho. Need to tighten up the O Line against the Chiefs. Way to take it, @detroitlions.bsky.social #onepride

Neil Kleid @neilkleid.bsky.social · 3d

If the Lions throw away this game to the Bengals in the 4th quarter - it was 28-3 a short while ago ; it’s now 28-17 - it will be the most Lions thing they have done in a while. Come on, defense. Tighten up.

As a Tigers fan, this may be one of the first things I can’t agree with you about, David. But here’s to a good game!
