"IN OBSERVANCE & SOLIDARITY". Two black speech bubbles with white text read "HOURLY COMICS DAY IS NOW ON FEB 8TH. CARTOONISTS HONOR BLACK HISTORY MONTH. FEB 1 - MAR 1". There is an illustration of a black silhouetted hand raised and holding a pen in the top right, and an illustration of a nib pen and an ink well personified on the bottom right. The nib and ink are bumping fists. A URL at the bottom is "hourlycomicsday.com".

Hourly Comics Day has MOVED!

It's the 20th anniversary and we're taking a stand alongside our Black cartoonist members and friends to demand a change to honor Black History Month- draw your comics on the 8th, not the 1st!

The wheel trees in the Mulefa world of The Amber Spyglass (Philip Pullman). I’ve always been mesmerized the the symbiotic relationship he painted in their world.

A peaceful scene of a swamp, with greens, blues and purples, a tree in the foreground and the head of a huge dragon visible resting in the water. A white heron takes off next to the dragon and it's eye is open.

A young woman in 15th century inspired black plate armor, looking wistfully and holding a longsword that has a magical golden light emanating from it. Behind her is a rich colorful tapestry with late Medieval motifs that's interwoven with gold thread.

The conversation goes like this:
“Will you swim today?”
“I don’t know. It’ll be cold after.”
“Did you bring your suit?”
“…”
~after the swim~
“Are you glad you swam?”
“😬🥹🌊😍✨”

I perpetually forget my need to be immersed in water. Thank goodness for a partner who doesn’t 🌊

I was looking through paintings to share with y’all for International Women’s day, and stopped on this one. The feminine loss and grief still feels palpable in this sketch.

Women are incredible. People are incredible. I’m so grateful for the opportunity to be on this earth with each of you.

a black furry three eyed creature in a forest at the base of a tree with old armour and discarded items around him. Next to him is an old sword stuck in the ground, some spilled gold from a purse, an old boot with the leg bone still in it and in the shadows behind him there is another tree with more creatures like him on it.

An illustration of a person from the chin down. They have both their arms around black wolves, which are asleep and cuddled against the person. Two more wolves are asleep and piled on top. The person and the animals are all smeared and smattered with blood, indicating they had a great meal together.
