Self-publishing is probably the only longterm sustainable option for a majority of comics people, given ::gestures broadly::

we hope you’ll check this out!!!

Here are some of the characters that I've designed for the story that I drew for Storage Horrors. You can still back this project if you want to find out more about the story!

Going through December's comic releases and dang I really love this cover to Our Soot Stained Heart #1 by Stipan Morian. A wonderful blend of art and design.

Not wanting to air out my personal business, I haven't mentioned it, but my position @ work was eliminated a little while ago.

I have extensive experience in e-comm, customer relations, & brand design/management, and am looking for full time work. Comics-adjacent would be ideal, but I'm open. DM me

The US comic industry really needs a youth movement. Young exciting voices will lead to successes. You just need to take some gambles instead of reshuffling same creators

The lose of entry level publishers hurts in the long run. Not every new creator is built for crowdfunding. Need spaces to build

I pitch those around. I get told by agents they don’t know how to sell them to publishers so they pass. There are so many great sport manga sad America, who also loves sports is left high and dry
