The problem with being a teacher who wants to make art is that all summer break I keep finding more and more things I want to do and sign up for, but once August hits, I’m all out of time

I’ve been getting a lot more ads for Magic: the Gathering in my algorithm. Is it possible to get into and have fun without investing a bunch of money into it? Or being super competitive? I’m into more casual gaming, if at all

I know it’s probably just the algorithm, but I can’t help but feel like my art itself is lacking

A couple more character sketches. I’m getting close to 25% done with this project!!

I feel like my art style is so generic. The things I post are boring, and I’m not sure why

My series MORSELS Presents continues with its third issue, Days Without Incident, in August. www.kickstarter.com/projects/jmi...

Coming soon: MORSELS Presents... Days Without Incident

The fire is lit, marshmallows are roasting, teens are having a good time, and a slasher stalks the streets. MORSELS is back, baby!

Who has Kickstarters going? I don’t have a ton of reach on here, but I’d love to share some campaigns!

Final Days for Trench!  The Ultra-Terrestrial alien is here to stop the Cult of Dagon from taking over the world! At Summit Comics, we don't just create new characters, we make great stories! Make sure to catch up with the newest one in its final funding days: readsumm.it/trench

Been drawing every day, working on all published 5e subclasses for some character design practice. Here’s the first week!

Now I regret always putting off my reading of Persepolis. But I guess now is as good a time as ever

I know people love it, but I honestly couldn’t care any less about Absolute Batman

I know I’m way late to the party, but the paneling alone in Absolute Wonder Woman is amazing

Read Mor-Rioghan’s story from the beginning in our queer dark fantasy comic Maraketh’s Chosen! Mor-Rioghan, a novice demon warrior witch, is struggling to find her place in the Order of Maraketh. Art by @nornnoszka.bsky.social and letters by @rebelmusecomics.bsky.social. Spellboundcrimescomics.com

Should I bind my Rare Flavours single issues into a collection or just leave them be?

Based on my art lately, I should be drawing some kind of fantasy book, or at least something with knights or people in armor. Give me your pitches!

New knights

Should I work on more Peter the Fishstronaut next, or my R rated blood-and-guts book?

Ginseng Roots is another great memoir from Craig Thompson. Not quite as good as Blankets, because I feel like I identified with that a little more, but great nonetheless

New knights

Anyone have tips on how to refuel your creativity? I feel like the only way I can draw is with inspo material in front of me, but I want to get back to drawing weird stuff from the mind

I’m back in my comics groove. Just bought some new 11x17 boards, gonna make some more Fishstronaut strips, and see where things go.

Kinda thinking about starting an artist trading cards swap. Not sure if anyone would be interested though

Still trying to promote Outlaw Country, but with everything going on for me right now, looks like the KS campaign is gonna have to wait. And that makes it feel like I’m gonna have to put off any shows/markets this year, because I simply don’t have any material to sell.

Apparently it’s #webcomicday! What a perfect time to plug my coming-soon-to-Kickstarter webcomic, Outlaw Country! If you enjoy crime, westerns, and personal, human stories, you’ll love this! www.foreignpresscomics.com/outlawcountry

Outlaw Country — Foreign Press Comics

A crime comic inspired by country music, about three friends who come back together after a tragic event years ago, and decide to take small town justice into their own hands.

I need to start reading again, but I think I’ll wait until after Outlaw Country is done. Just gotta power through 6 and a half more pages, then lettering the whole series

Check out my new kickstarter with @danomyte139.bsky.social where bigfoot fights the Norse gods. It rules and it’s already fully funded and on the way to its second stretch goal. www.kickstarter.com/projects/big...

Bigfoot is accused of the murder of Odin in this BIGFOOT KNOWS KARATE prequel!
