I Am Still Doing Too Much for D&D (feat. a new party of heroes that hung out at a cute grove for a bit before setting off to the Feywild to see a magical flower bloom, only for them to wake up separated from one another with no memory of what had transpired since xoxo)
I have been buying random old Toybiz X-Men figures bc I am susceptible to the nostalgia of X-Men '97 and did we all know that the Rictor figure winds up so he can VIBRATE???
How comics actually work: some pages take an hour and some pages take eight hours and they're not always the ones you'd think. There are sometimes entire weeks taken up by research that MUST be completed before you can progress. And you also must account for several days lost to the Horrors
An unexpected side effect of me getting really into D&D is me getting really good at Excel. I know what Macros are now!!!

Artists at Silver Sprocket have released their statement. I've personally severed all ties to the publisher because my book had not been printed yet, but there are plenty of artists whose careers are more enmeshed. Please read the statement, share, and support. cartoonist.coop/sprocket-art...

Tiny gripe: Got sent a 20 minute youtube video, a long appreciation of a comic series I drew: "Superior Foes of Spider-man." 51K views! The video is made of screenshots, mostly Nick's writing & my art, and not once in those 20 minutes is there any mention of who wrote or drew the comic. Wild.
Really blown away by how X-Men '97 constantly uses knowledge of comics continuity to help scaffold its stories and character arcs without being burdened or beholden to it. Like it is truly a masterclass in adaptation
Éternelle Journée 12x16” ink & gouache on watercolor paper Your tired, withered soul will be replenished with the healing tranquility of tea. Take all the time you need before heading back into battle.
In a 388-130 vote, we have won our union election with a near 75% majority! A massive thank you to everyone who supported us along the way. Here’s to a brighter future!
WE ARE THE LARGEST PUBLISHING UNION IN HISTORY FUCK YES
The homosexual urge to quit your day job to draw comics all day.......
Thank you so much!👑🫂💕 Haha, very apt description - I did this sketch back in '22, so I thought you might enjoy the original vibe!🤘😎🤘💕
Twink/griffith/phantom/fetish batman is best batman. Your design for the joker is also fantastic
Guess I'm as qualified to comment here as anyone, having made my "rep" on historical narrative. Not buying the accusation of plagiarism with which the prof and her allies are filling Bluesky, as I've detailed in other posts. But Tillie and D&Q made a few key mistakes that would have prevented this.
ultimately the fallout of all this is that cartoonists who aren't necessarily trained in academic citation, history and historiography, and don't have a background in that, will be terrified to draw anything nonfiction. and that's not on the academics who feel slighted. that's on comic publishers
I didn’t take a single actual photo of her because I was too busy drawing and being star struck. Five years of capybaras for this book and this is the first time I’ve seen a real live one!!! Her name is Poppy!!!!!
I can't believe we got an action sequence of Jubilee set to Veruca Salt's "Volcano Girls" and it totally slapped?????
There's a couple things I want y'all to do when you see allegations on the internet provided from one perspective: 1) Were good faith opportunities taken advantage of before going public? 2) What is there to gain from going public?
JOKER: Not so fast, Bat-JERK! My LAUGHBangs will leave you BLIND as a BAT! BLUESKY BATMAN: Oof. Many people suffer from reduced vision. Not funny. JOKER: It's like, it's a pun. It's just wordplay. BLUESKY BATMAN: Sorry if I'm not in the mood for "jokes" while SCOTUS shreds our constitutional rights
Another campaign in the books!! I staged these pics after everyone went home, but the party took down the corrupt Open Lord of Waterdeep by swaying public opinion against her and also shooting her in the face w a crossbow ❤️
