Spotlight: GOOD PERSON TROUBLE by Noëlle Kröger — now just $10 crowdfundr.com/support_solrad

Been making some progress on this new short story for @solsticemfa.bsky.social, and drawing is finally beginning to feel more like handwriting, if that makes sense. Sometimes I’ve gotta scratch things out, but overall, what’s coming out of the pen is expressing what I want— it’s a good place to be!

Comics for homework? Yes, please. 🙏 Now that I’m a grad student at the @solsticemfa.bsky.social program, I’ll generating 4 new comics stories this fall under the supervision of my mentor, @joshneufeld.bsky.social Excited to apply the techniques that I’ve been learning!

Q: what arrrgh you drawin these days, Ben? A: wait how’d u guess it was pirates? 🏴‍☠️

Summer break = drawing stories about school. Well, *redrawing* really. Trying to make this big spread as good as possible becauuuuuuse… …WAKING LIFE BOOK TWO IS GOING BACK TO PRESS. A brand new print run (with updated art), coming soon from @comickerpress.bsky.social!

Folks! My comics club students and I are going to debut their new anthology at Space Cadets this Saturday, and if you’re in the Houston area, we’d love for you to swing by! This is our fundraiser for the year, so if you want to get a custom commission or donate to the club, we’d love your support!

Art reveal! I’m finally finished with this Oz-set short story I’ve been working on with writer @baldbeardedbard.bsky.social. Subscribers to @travisgibb.bsky.social’s Orange Cone Comics newsletter got the first glimpse today, and see for yourself: it’s the very best tiger I ever have drawn 🐯

Thank you to this nice internet bot who congratulated me on inventing *checks notes* Oh yes: Spider-Man 💀

Every now and again, I get the bug to sketch an old favorite. Takes me a minute to get back in the swing of things… but eventually it sticks. 🕷️ 👨 (And Peter + MJ forever, imho!)

Got cosplayed today by some of my Creative Writing students and I’ve never been clocked so hard in my life. Identities are redacted to protect the guilty; Happy April Fools to me 🤦‍♂️

Just finished this creepy page for my Cthulhu Invades Oz story with writer @baldbeardedbard.bsky.social and editor @travisgibb.bsky.social; does this qualify me as a horror comics artist yet? 👨‍🎨

My often partner in comic crimes - @benhumeniuk.bsky.social and I are at it again! This time we’re goin’ back to OZ! Ben and I have a story in the second edition of Cthulhu Invades Oz. SO excited to add my writing to this world this time around. GIT YEW SUM Lincoln Comments!

New comic alert! What happens when the well-meaning Hunger Tiger of Oz comes in contact with Lovecraftian forces? Stonie Williams and I aim to find out. You can grab our story in the new edition of Cthulhu Invades Oz on Kickstarter! (I’ll drop a link in the comments below.)

My newest graphic novel, A Chance to Mend, is now available from the Quad W Foundation. All the proceeds go to the foundation’s osteosarcoma research. Art: Joe Eisma Colors: Matt Herms Letters: Micah Myers Order here: www.quadw.org/achancetomend

I mean, call me crazy, but: I do have something that could work for this. Should I go for it? 🤔

In this house, we don’t pass up Doug Wood comics. Last day to get your copy of his latest!

Doug Wood@dougawood.bsky.social · 6mo ago

Last 18 hours. He never wanted to a part of his supervillain dad’s life. Now he stands to inherit it all, including those buddies who want a piece… If you want super hero/villain comics to try something different or new, we think we have a comic you’ll enjoy www.kickstarter.com/projects/174...

Anatomy of a battle scene. ⚔️ (Seriously though this is only like 1/5 of a page; what am I doing to myself here?)

Happy 40th, The Legend of Zelda! A couple of years ago, I reached out to @benhumeniuk.bsky.social to collab on a one-pager dedicated to my favorite game and my favorite franchise. WE THE DREAMERS

ICYMI Inheritance #1 is on Kickstarter. This HOT comic has crossed $1,000 and we need your help continuing toward our goal. Please spread the word www.kickstarter.com/projects/174...

Inheritance #1

His father amassed wealth and a criminal empire second to none and now he stands ready to inherit everything he never wanted.

Got my copy of Made in Delco! @jimmygaspero.bsky.social is about to have a big year with the Summit universe and his upcoming Penny & the Yeti graphic novel— but this is where he first showed us what he could do. If you haven’t gotten a copy for yourself yet, hit him up. It belongs on your shelf!

Forgive me, Great Bird of the Galaxy, for I am being cheeky to trolls on Star Trek posts.

Love a new old comics mail day

The sad Hungry Tiger is now a colorful sad Hungry Tiger

Drawing a sad tiger (the Hungry Tiger, best friend to the Cowardly Lion) for a new Oz-set story by my man, @baldbeardedbard.bsky.social It’s coming up in the re-release of @travisgibb.bsky.social’s Cthulhu Invades Oz anthology, so get ready for a mix of whimsy and creepy. 🐙

“Ex Libris” 📚

The only thing better than getting a page of comics? Getting *two* pages of comics. I don’t do full spreads very often, but it’s a fun way to challenge my chops while working on a bigger canvas. And since this story takes its characters around the world, well, why not?

If you’re a @hoopladigital.bsky.social reader, the first installment of my Waking Life comic is now a free Bonus Borrow! Check out the beginning of this magical all-ages adventure through the end of October— and thanks to @comickerpress.bsky.social for making this possible!

Coloring a comics page is the part where I second-guess myself the *most*. In this case, I'm setting up a look that should last across a whole project. Anyone got any advice or notes for how this comes across?

I shared part of this the other day, but after knocking out this comics spread, I'm feeling pretty excited. We're only in competition with ourselves when it comes to art, and the Ben of 10 years ago would be pleased with how far he's come. Still plenty of growth ahead, though!
