"Stone farm" 🐔 The maru nib is my loyal companion at this point, but I tried something different with the colours here! Also, long live my money tree, which is featured in this drawing, and which has rotten since I finished this (but which is being propagated, so maybe not all is lost...) 🌱
Time for a new look! More honest, more seasonal and more Lumi in the picture 🐱
what are these two little guys looking at there? probably not my new comic at @shortboxcomicsfair.bsky.social, I don't think so, idk. well, here, just in case *you* wanna look at it www.shortboxcomicsfair.com/shop-sq4wj/p...
I have a new comic at @shortboxcomicsfair.bsky.social this year which has all the greatest jean fhilippe hits you've come to know and love: we got palm trees, hands, beaches, memories, what else...ah I can't remember so you'll have to read it and let me know
“Damage and repair” (another ink drawing that I decided to colour digitally. Had fun with the lines in this one, finally on good terms with the maru nib ✨)
“Observance chain” (Oldish ink drawing in my sketchbook that I recently decided to colour digitally.)
Fun drawing I did this morning. A bit messy but I still like it! (done with my most recent flirt, a maru nib 👌)
Detail of a wip at the back of a comic page that didn't work out. For now I've called it 'Unearthing and Re-burying"
AI filmmaking is peeing. It’s pooping. It’s throwing up. It’s a new kind of liquid coming out. It’s hated by the establishment. It’s what goes in the toilet. It’s wet. It’s what’s in the bathroom.
Decided to exist on this app again 😶🌫️ today's warmup, featuring promising backpack ideas.
Physical editions of "Pacific Dream" are now for sale! I'm gonna keep the shop open for one week. US shipping only. vincentlau.bigcartel.com
Dead Days is in @sktchd.bsky.social 's favourite comics of the year 😭😱 😭😱 I haven't quite recovered from how thoughtful and kind this article is 😭
The Comics of 2024 now stand revealed, as I handed out SKTCHD AWRDS to my 25 favorite comics of the year, including today's final five of The Power Fantasy, The Strange Tales of Oscar Zahn, Tokyo These Days, the Ultimate Universe, and Vera Bushwack. This feature is open to non-subscribers.
Long time no big drawing ! Just read Taiyō Matsumoto’s « Tokyo these days » and aside from being a magnificent comic, it made me wanna draw middle aged men with glasses so there we are. Also, long time no color work and omg this takes forever
Applying to ShortBox last year quite literally changed my life. It gave me an opportunity to really work on something special and it helped me feel like I had a voice and story to tell!!!! Idk it's been a few weeks since the end of the fair and I still get emotional talking about it. Apply now!!!!
Hi, I'm Xulia Vicente, cartoonist and illustrator from Spain. I like to work with fantasy elements, sapphics and a little bit of horror. My comics include Clair de Lune 🎵 I see a knight 🐎 Elisa & Marcela 👩❤️💋👩 and Sello de Dragón 🐉
Only a few hours left to check out Dead Days at @shortboxcomicsfair.bsky.social ✨ autofiction, 90+ pages, b&w, some fun moments, some sad moments. Vintage ice creams and cars!
Only one weef left to grab DEAD DAYS from @shortboxcomicsfair.bsky.social ✨ it has loads of driving on bumpy country roads, and many other fun things! (this is my first ever animated thing, in case you couldn't tell)
“Those who leave” by @cowlickmeadow.bsky.social was such a treat. Anything about death and spirituality I’m immediately interested in. But on top of that, this was funny, delicate and featured the loveliest characters. Big recommendation for everyone doing last minute shopping!
The summer after highschool, my paternal gpa took me on his scooter to see my gma & great gma’s graves. Read about this experience in my comic, “Those Who Leave”, plus many more at Shortbox Comics Fair @shortboxcomicsfair.bsky.social though October! www.shortboxcomicsfair.com/shop-sq4wj/p...
Final pencil doodle to remind you that you have only until tomorrow to get Dead Days at @shortboxcomicsfair.bsky.social ✨ Then it’s gone! (This is one of my favourite panels from the comic, so decided to sketch it in pencil ✏️)
last couple days to pickup 'Pacific Dream' from @shortboxcomicsfair.bsky.social small trailer I made to promote the comic :) www.shortboxcomicsfair.com/shop-sq4wj/p... #pacificdream #animation
I was not prepared for DEAD DAYS fanart 😭😭😭 the little car 😭 @shortboxcomicsfair.bsky.social is still going until Oct 31! Go and peruse ✨
'Dead Days' by @alicescarpa92.bsky.social got me setting my fear aside and drawing an actual car (or something like that). It's an autofiction comic with a delicious balance between goofyness and nostalgia, and a heart-wrenching ending. Less than a week to check it out so go go go!
I wanted to finish this month on a high note, sooo as @shortboxcomicsfair.bsky.social wraps up, thought I could try a little stream playing some tunes on my clarinet and waving goodbye to Clair de Lune era 👉👈 How does that sound? Join me on insta, @/takoxuls, 27th Oct at 6 p.m. GMT +2 ✨
