Now THAT is the best possible compliment I could ever hope for. That’s what I strive for with every page.

Privileged this weekend to play D&D with @sweeetanj.bsky.social and learn from their many experiences as a performer and artist. Em Carlson from @blackwaterdnd.bsky.social also let me bend her ear for a few minutes demonstrating she is just as lovely and generous with her time in-person as online.
Pure joy. Hey @schiekapedia.bsky.social, just had a reader who bought both issues yesterday come bsck today to tell me he read them last night and loved them. He loved the pages where the action told the story without needless dialogue. He said he'd pause and re-read his favourite pages.

Shameless tagging because I'm proud. It was a joy selling Thistle Issue Two today @kelownacomicon.bsky.social. Thistle is my sword and sorcery fantasy comic that was born out of @gailsimone.bsky.social's #comicschool. Thanks Gail. The story grows one issue at a time.
J.L. Collins - Attending Kelowna ComiCon June 2026!@digitalcollins.bsky.social · last mo.Day 1 of @kelownacomicon.bsky.social in the books. Sold some comics, played D&D on stage with the Dungeon Dudes, Anjali Bhimani and Ty Olsson. Even gave a young TTRPG'er advice on being a Dungeon Master. Not bad for this Canadian kid. Looking forward to meeting more comic book fans tomorrow.

My road: - minis - webcomics - self publishing - anthologies - first WFH (Intimidators) - first Big 2 (X-men Unlimited) - then a series of ups & downs & radio silence & pitches oh so many pitches & then NOTHING & prose and I kept making my own stuff & still am & “break in” again with every book
Tea Berry-Blue@teaberryblue.net · 2mo agoSO MANY of the comics pros you admire started out by making mini comics or webcomics! You can do it too!!!
Friendly reminder to all AP producers 💚 YouTube doesn‘t care about the longterm storage. Post your show to the Internet Archive! Heres how! allmyfriendsarestories.neocities.org/iachecklist And a quicker version if you only have 30 mins! allmyfriendsarestories.neocities.org/iagettingsta...

Also, if you can in this benighted time of storage prices skyrocketing, figure out what you’re MOST proud of and have a physical backup protocol for that. And if you — AP or not! — take a lot of detailed game notes, ORGANIZE & SAVE THAT SHIT.
