I'm on a hiring freeze at the moment (life has been filled with the stress of house hunting) so someone needs to hire Lane until I can do it again.

Lane! Draws! Comics! @lanedraws.bsky.social · 2d

Hey! Had a couple things end up not starting this month, which is kind of not optimal for me, a person who needs to pay bills. So! If you need commissions, short comics, full comics, covers, prints, concert posters, album art, and you like what I do, maybe hire me!

ICYMI, I’ll be a guest at the inaugural Cork Comic Con this weekend. Pop down to the Marina Market, grab some organic home-grown Irish comics, and maybe a bit of grub while you’re at it! Let’s show ‘em how it’s done in the Rebel County.

The Octocon programme is live! Hurray!

I'm moderating one panel (sequels), doing a workshop (Out of the Gutter: Writing Comics 101), interviewing Michael Carroll and @pauljholden.com and taking part in a horror panel!

My best friend's sister got married yesterday, so I made her and her husband crochet balloon dogs!

Friend and her late mum helped pick the colours ❤️

It took four years of me mostly looking at my DnD cleric as a healer to realise that they can also activate Plague Mode with:

💧 Control Water
🦗 Insect Plague
🔥 Fire Storm
🌏 Earthquake
🥀 Blight (Death Domain Spell)

Unfortunately not all at once (three are concentration) but still fun!

So excited that Gary's making his way into Marvel!

Congratulations again, my friend!

Gary Moloney @ NYCC (he/him) @garymoloney.bsky.social · 20d

Looks like the Monkey’s out of the bag. I’m delighted to finally reveal that this December I’ll be taking a trip to the House of Ideas and teaming up with the incredibly talented @marsisanartist.bsky.social for an all-new Hit-Monkey story in Marvel: Black, White & Blood and Guts #3!

I'm currently doing a Professional Diploma in Digital Learning with the Digital Learning Institute. Part of it meant producing a poster.

What about existential disappointment that isn't related to Thought Bubble? Do tickets help with that? (Pls say yes)

((I mean, I'm exhibiting, but in a 'What if' scenario...))
