Makoto Yukimura was worried that Vinland Saga's farming arc and "I have no enemies" moment was a gamble that readers wouldn't like. I told him about the J. Cole meme from the Kendrick Lamar and Drake rap beef. This is how he reacted.

In all seriousness, publishers are going to have to figure out how to market books in the post-social-media landscape. That should be an implicit part of their job. What authors/artists can do on their own is increasingly limited and siloed.

I got to read Corpse de Ballet early and let me tell you it was so GOOD.

Megan writes killer dialogue for these teen girls. I love a well-written, but absolutely terrible, human. And the monochromatic, ethereal artwork? Totally gorgeous.

If you are Canadian!! House of Commons petitions are very worth signing. At a certain number of signatures they need to be brought to the hoc.

You can ONLY sign if you are a Canadian citizen! But always keep an eye out for them!

Get used to this:

This is an enraging read - influencers are telling women that folic acid is toxic & causes autism, thus putting them off taking it in vitamins if they're trying to get pregnant. Worse, they're peddling expensive supplements that don't have folic acid - and Serena Williams is a shill for one of them

didn't know who Alan Glass was, went to an exhibit in Montreal and left needing to buy a huge tome of his ballpoint drawings.

also his paintings are incredible and no reproduction really do them justice..

beat kcd2 last night and i want to draw knights but i have knights at home (hundreds of unfinished comic pages) 🥲

Alas I'm traveling and not at my computer to gather up my old friends at the table art but I just wanna say #fatt literally got me out of the worst art block ever, like I had given up doing art in any capacity up until I started listening to seasons of hieron

disappeared again from social media because im neck deep in a graphic novel and taking care of my baby.

the baby has taken to sleeping like this and it cracks me up.

Guided by starlight ⭐️

taken hundreds of screenshots from kcd2 because it has the exact settings I need for comic. now that's a business expense

great environmental storytelling

I've unearthed an old comic of mine that I put on indefenite haitus due to big life changes. Here's a retouched page from it.

sent a diagram to my sister explaining that my son doesnt realize he needs to move that arm in order to roll onto his back 🥲 (this results in him screaming to rescue him every 2-5 minutes lmao)

A closeups showing the left side of the illustration I’m working on. There are large flowers on the tiled floor, a woman wearing an orange dress and some parts of a broken wall with arches, buildings in the background and plants growing around buildings.

A closeup of the right side of the image. There are building in the background decorated with tiles. An orange tree in a pot and a leopard (not finished, without patterns at a current state).

Some glimpses of a new piece I’m working on. I wanted to draw something a little more lighthearted and bright this time. I should be done with this piece tomorrow.
