I am once again begging big 5 publishers to invest in rebuilding book media by starting their own newspapers/journals/magazines. That plus helping keep indie bookstores open would do so goddamn much for the industry

If 35 more people order a book, we'll hit the funding goal! Thanks to everyone who has backed the project and/or helped me spread the word about this campaign. Together we can make this book!

One of my favorites. Took me ages to track down the CD when I was a teenager.

Ever wonder how I make my graphic novels? I've just shared an in-depth look at the creation of pages from my latest comic! youtu.be/hkLgwR6_t4o?...

This is hugely important: If you use the Atlantic's author search tool, a TON of comics don't come up because they don't have creators listed. I just found like all my comics work looking directly and it sucks. So, make sure you're very thorough in your search.

surprise i just dropped a new article! i had a lot of thoughts about how people don't know how to engage with fiction, which ties into chatgpt delusion & book bans among other things. big thanks to @cxorlando.bsky.social for telling me to write about it when i posted a throwaway insta story

Self-publishing is a power, it's a gift. You can put whatever you want into your little 'zines and minicomics, absolutely nobody can tell you no. Tell your story, don't worry if it's "good enough", make it anyway.

Hereโ€™s an ANIMORPHS animation pitch I made last summer! Created it for a lot of different personal and professional reasons, but now Iโ€™m happy to share! (1/10)

Sketchbook comic. 

Panel 1: a disembodied voice says โ€œI KNOW a.i. is ethically, ecologically and esthetically awful, but I just gotta sayโ€ฆโ€
Lucy is reacting with a ._. Face and thinking โ€œdo ya? Do ya really GOTTA?โ€

Panel 2: Lucyโ€™s thought bubble reads: โ€œdo you just GOTTA recite some tired anecdote using the phrase โ€˜I just typed it in!โ€™ That just amounts to you admitting that your cheapness, laziness and poor taste outweighs your unexamined ethical code?โ€

Lucy is startled, dropping a chip.

The cover to the newly reissued anthology Flight Magazine Volume #1 from Inklore Books, featuring a beautiful painting with a winged adventurer, blimp, biplane, fantasy cityโ€”you name it.

The cover to the newly reissued anthology Flight Magazine Volume #1 from Inklore Books, featuring a beautiful painting with a winged adventurer, blimp, biplane, fantasy cityโ€”you name it.

So many of the best trends in comics today can be traced back to the debut of Flight Magazine in 2004. Check out the reissue of that seminal anthology here inklorebooks.com/series.

They even reprinted my somewhat bizarre afterword (it was odd in 2004; it's even odder now)!

I like the idea of a licensed property letting an artist use their own style. I find that way more interesting and fun that a perfect replica of the game or show art.

A giant, red, goat-headed demon sits on a stone throne in a subterranean chamber.
"So, it is decided: on midsummer's eve, my words shall spew forth across the land like black fire!"

"We prefer to call it 'publication day'" says his publicist.

"..And we were hoping you might do some social media to to promote the book?"

Things turmn dark, the demon's goat eyes glow
"I cannot fathom the accursed opiate screens that so enthral your kind."

"Yeah, some of our other authors feel that way, but that's why we have Toby: he's an absolute whiz!" she replies, introducing a small man. 

"I'll set you up on twitter and you'll be corrupting Souls in no time!" says Toby.

A caption reads: "An hour later"

The demon now has his head in his hands and moans:
"I can endure this Foul parade of doltish barbarity No longer! Please deactivate My account, wizard Toby"
