I kept my twit-act in part because I’d been documenting progress on my new book since its beginning. As I fully phase out twix, sharing some past posts here as I go. This was the first finished spread - part of 22pg 15ft long continuous sequence retelling the Odyssey! Onward! #Nostos #Unflattening 2

A 2-page black and white comics spread, with imagery continuing beyond the side boundaries of the pages as it’s part of a longer sequence. The center is a tapestry that stretches through the page displaying Odysseus’s ship with the lighthouse of pharos, Penelope weaving a pharos, and the bag of Aeolus. The image of penelope emerges from the tapestry, near it there's a meta-tapestry with warp and weft of threads that make the page, all woven by hands from the reader’s perspective. They hands unwind at the wrists to merge with a labyrinth that fills bottom of page metapmorphosizing from greek key patterns that make the boundary of the tapestry. At top the moon in three phases and a double headed axe spins through the page - in one instance mirroring the full moon with crescents on either side. The axe transforms into a monarch butterfly across the page. Also there’s an owl who moves backwards across the page until it comes to rest on Penelope’s loom. It’s a complicated page... (oh, and I have twice as many characters as Twitter here - but that’s probably enough)

Many things he’s done to date are things establishment dems keep telling us “take too much time/red tape to do or initiate” and then he just does it and exposes it all as a blatant lie. And rather than work w/ him they just go “socialism bad! Brown man scary rarrrr” and honestly it speaks volumes.

TRUE STORY: @jamesleech.bsky.social and I recorded a couple episodes of a podcast we never released, and in one, we discussed GROUNDHOG DAY and I recited that "Trees" poem (that Bill Murray recites part of to sleeping Andie MacDowell) to James partway through. He fell in love with me, of course.
