This little comic by @isabellarotman.bsky.social is especially relevant right now, given the discourse around bystander intervention. Could be the best $5 you ever spend: www.isabellarotman.com/store/p/preo...

I ended up deciding not to exhibit at Flamecon anymore because there's so few comic artists there so it didn't seem like the right show for me. Which is fine -- not every show needs to be for me. But personally, I'd love to see a % of tables reserved for people making & selling comics!
Carey Pietsch@careydraws.bsky.social · last yr.Flamecon just sent exhibitor surveys out! obvi it's ultimately in organizers' hands, but this is a great place to note if you'd like to see the show reserve a % of tables for cartoonists/comic artists or move towards an app process like MICE's!!
The saga of the siblinghood of the travelling sash comes to a close!! It's on its way home to @isabellarotman.bsky.social, without whom Abortion Pill Zine wouldn't have happened. I'm lucky to have Izzy and @marniegalloway.bsky.social as co-authors and even luckier to call them my pals!
1/2 I have been with Silver Sprocket since 2017. I will likely have more to say about it when I have formulated my thoughts well, but for now: I have been in conversation with many sprocket artists (not all -- there's a lot of them) and the majority of us want sprocket to survive and succeed.
If you work in comics, YOU are eligible to vote in the Eisners! Abortion Pill Zine: A community guide to Misoprostol and Mifepristone by myself, @marniegalloway.bsky.social and @isabellarotman.bsky.social is up in a VERY, VERY stacked category! The more folks who vote the better imho. ✨💚
Kieron Gillen@kierongillen.bsky.social · last yr.Just talking to my comrades and realise they don't actually have an Eisner ballot, as they're not registered. So, I'm lobbing this in public - anyone in comics (creators, retailers, librarians, educators, editors, whoever) can apply here and vote before June 5th. docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...

New adventure here we go! Starting at Maine College of Art and Design teaching Capstone Post Production ✨ I'm so excited to work with these incredibly talented students
I am making a concerted effort to post here when I feel like posting on... other platforms. Anyway here is my dog in the snow.
Spent the last week at the Directangle Press Artist Residency in the White Mountains and it was a dream. I got to learn how to print on a beautiful two color risograph machine. I'm officially hooked on RISO now! Prints will be available for sale soon! #directangleresidency #riso
Abortion Pill Zine by myself, @isabellarotman.bsky.social & @marniegalloway.bsky.social (published by @silversprocket.net) in the wild!! Walked by Women and Children First and was pleasantly surprised to see us in the window display alongside @renee.bsky.social's fantastic book Liberating Abortion!
