If anyone's got things they need a writer for, let me know. October's going to be a weird month as finances are running low and unemployment's not going to make up the gap, so anything that'll help work-wise is greatly appreciated!

Putting this out there too, if you're organizing a comics anthology, I'd love to be a part of it! I like writing shorts!

My schedule's such that I can't really organize another myself rn, but if anyone is looking to make ones for a cause and needs an editorial eye, I can try to make that work!

I don't really know what people there think of the new system but Camden definitely had a bad reputation growing up to put it mildly so a whole summer without homicides is incredible

The city police disbanded but it's misleading to say there are none. It's been reformed at a county level & they are not without flaw either. But the new approach emphasizes community, rapport, reducing recitivism — think peace corps instead of special forces —and it's clearly working

Camden had zero homicides this summer. City and county leaders credit the 2013 disbandment of its police department.

Violent crime is at a 50-year low.

This is amazing.

Camden had zero homicides this summer. City and county leaders credit the 2013 disbandment of its police department.

As of Monday, the city has seen a 43% decrease in homicides compared to this time last year. And violent crime has reached a 50-year low.

The ridiculously talented @ikadraws.bsky.social kindly lent me some Spidey inks to colour.

What a joy this was to work on, Federica is goddamn incredible as anyone reading Exceptional X-Men can attest to!

Been a year. Time to repost this.

YOUR PORTFOLIO CRIT
THINGS I'D TELL YOU IF I WERE LOOKING AT YOUR WORK IN PERSON
1 Violating the 180 degree rule makes this sequence hard to follow
2 A few more incidental overlaps will make this foreshortening clearer
3 Symmetrical compositions with a character dead center imply an important moment. Don't draw every panel like that?
4 This __ looks kind of fake. Take the time to look at reference instead of just making it up
5 An establishing shot will help the reader understand where this takes place.
6 Find a life-drawing session to attend, or practice from photos online.
7 Show these pages to someone who doesn't know the story and ask them to tell the story back to you.
8. Nudge this part over a bit to eliminate that tangency.
9 You flattened out the depth by rendering the foreground, middle ground, & background with the same values. Create depth and direct the eye by organizing them into overlapping planes of light & dark.
10 there are better ways to use your time than rendering every brick.
11 these characters look like they're floating (or falling). Draw figures and bg from the same eye level.
12 Unless this will be a wordless comic, leave more room for the lettering

Hey - Image creators. You likely have received a mail from someone claiming they're at image. This very much feels like a phishing scam. Don't click the link, and spread word to collaborators.

One might assume that it's just new artists that never learned this, but I assure you many experienced pros also do not do this properly because someone down the production line has always fixed it for them. Don't be that guy! If your editor doesn't send you a template, ask for one!

Nate Piekos of Blambot @blambot.bsky.social · Aug 20

Artists working in mainstream USA comics: Marvel, DC, Dark Horse, Image, etc. all expect art to these dimensions. I'm seeing more and more disregard for the standard specs, and it affects everyone's deadlines to have production try and wrestle your art into proper proportions.

I pride myself on my professionalism in comics. I don't talk shit about books I don't enjoy. I am happy when folks get gigs even if I wish I landed them.

So when I say the transphobic bullshit in the new BLOODSHOT #1 comic is disgusting and should have never made it to print. Shameful shit.

Transphobic panels from the new Bloodshot #1 where the lead describes young people being allowed to become vampires by their parents using the exact same language that bigots use to describe trans children
