It might look like I'm just staring at a screen but I'm really mentally working out this page layout.

I promise I'm not just bored.

I would hire @dyemooch.bsky.social to color it. He’s amazing. He colored this for me.

“Keep going.”

I had a webcomic called Daring Adventures. A space opera homaging serials like Buck Rogers but I sadly ended it because I didn’t know where to take it.

In hindsight, I should have kept going & learned to write.

Business Advice: Embrace Discomfort | ComicLab Get more from ComicLab on Patreon

We're heading into a year of upheaval in business, social media, publishing, and more. But after twenty-five years of self-publishing, Dave and I have learned an important lesson: Embracing Discomfort is crucial to growing as an artist and a businessperson.

Haven’t drawn in almost a month & a half because I’m waiting on glasses to come in. (Had to get the exam first)

Really looking forward to getting back to making comics. Here’s another self portrait. Colored by the amazing @dyemooch.bsky.social

@andrewmaclean.bsky.social Really loved Snarlagon. Had a perfect b-movie feel & the art was gorgeous. Looking forward to the next Head Lopper installment!

I don’t know what to do on this app. I guess post more art?

Here’s a self poo-rtrait.

ComicLab advice: "Don't tell them it's free; tell them it's good."

This is one of the most common mistakes cartoonists make when promoting their work.

My wife on the phone because she works in the same room as me.

Spent the entire day working on a page, got mostly done with flats, just to scrap it & pencil it again to look more interesting.

Gonna ink it to close out the day, but coloring will have to wait because tomorrow I work on my 9yo daughter’s comic, The Amelia Apocalypse.

Today’s reading before work.

Tonight’s homework.

My little corner in the dining room. The tote & brown box are filled with comics I need to buy a book shelf for.

Don’t forget to post your own!

I want to get this good at coloring/painting. I’m learning to paint a little each week. Goals. (By John Loren)

Just finished some after lunch reading. Such an endearing & funny book.

My kids got it for me for Christmas & I love it.

Good episode today! The part about tariffs was interesting. I didn’t think it would affect smaller publishers but y’all made me want to look more into it.

Were you good?
