It’s finally here!
You can now buy the trade paperback of ARCHAIC, about a badass single mom who’s put in charge of a sentient island and its mythological Inhabitants. Come for the Mesopotamian goddess of the dead, stay for the 9-yr-old who saves the day w/birdwatching skills.

At the end of October, Becca and I will be moving away from San Diego. Exact destination TBD. There's sort of a best and worst case scenario. Best is we move for a job. Worst is we move because I still can't find one. So...any support right now would be great.

David Mariotte @davidmariotte.bsky.social · 6d

Okay, waiting on notes back on all scripts I've currently got out and open to more! If you're looking for an experienced comic writer and editor, hit me up! I'm great with licensed work and playing in other people's worlds, doing adaptations, and I have original pitches ready! dmariottewebhost@gmail

It's definitely the closest to google drive! I might end up going with their drive in the end

Charlot Kristensen @zolwia.bsky.social · 5d

Ahhh it looks like it's more for sharing files rather than storing them? Ive got nearly 500gb I'm looking to move 😭

Oh thanks for the rec! Never heard of that one. Will check it out

Charlot Kristensen @zolwia.bsky.social · 5d

In the process of degoogling, what's a better alternate to Drive? I've only heard people mention Proton drive but do you need a proton email account to use their drive? Also I would prefer to use a variety of apps by different companies, instead of it all being from one source if that makes sense

I'm back from maternity leave and in desperate need of some work. If you're looking for some fun colourful cover designs I'm your guy! Here are some book covers I loved illustrating

Shares & some reassuring words would be much appreciated

A digital illustrated book cover of Cruise Life - Raining Cats and Dogs by Reese Eschmann. It shows a Black girl chasing dogs and cats on the deck of a cruise while her big brother tries to catch up while holding a cat in his arms.

A digital illustrated book cover for the title Unfadeable by Maurice Broaddus. It portrays a mixed Black girl walking by with her pit bull pet, a bridge is seen overhead her, with some cranes in the background and some key characters in the book watches her from a distance.

A digital illustrated book cover titled The Season of Styx Malone
It shows a Black boy with a cap and sunglasses on, her smirks to the viewer, and within his glasses you see the reflection of 2 other Black boys, one smiling back at him with enthusiasm while the other smiles more hesitantly.

A digital illustrated book cover of a picture book titled Bessie the Motorcycle Queen.
It shows Bessie Stringfield on her iconic Hogs (Harleys) against a backdrop of the Grand Canyon.
