We’ll be in Artist Alley at tables Z-02 & 03. I’m gonna have Princess & Pony books, hopefully some new stickers, 2 prints and lots of original art in a range of prices to suit everyone who thinks real artists are peachy keen and AI is garbage 🥰👍

Thank you again to everyone who came around to see @silvaniart.bsky.social and me, bought some art, prints, or bought Pirates: A Graphic History.
We’ll be back in the Midwest for C2E2 in a few weeks!

60’s swimwear + water monster + terrible songs = a formula that NEVER GETS OLD.
Horror at Party Beach meets Catalina Caper meets Creeping Terror, I’m in.

If we’re going to pay between three and five thousand bucks to get ourselves and two pallets of books out to wherever, it has to be worth it. And part of that is on the con. We can’t be stuck in a basement or a parking lot, and the crowd has to be there for more than photo ops with celebrities.

Some guy walking around with 2 of them asleep in a padded chest and offering pets.

I just got to pet a sugar glider. 🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹

Most of us are trying so hard to offer affordable art/comics. Stickers are cheap. I sell little originals for TEN DOLLARS. Leaving a big con in the red lessens our chances of coming back.

Reminder for the throngs of ppl in Artist Alley who are strolling, pointing, undoing, squee-ing and then NOT BUYING…

And do your part by refraining from "smell-this activism."

"Did you see this awful thing this awful man said? Here, look. Isn't it awful? Isn't he awful?"

...Why are you doing that?

Why are you the free street team for the worst people online? Why are you signal-boosting misery?

Don't do that.

If you’re a Big 2 comic publisher who makes their blank sketch covers out of slick paper that will even smear Sharpie, go so to hell.

It’s likely the artist behind that ECCC table paid at least

$450 for the table
$500-700 for lodging
$150 (+) for food/drink
$300+ for merch.

The financial risk is real! Be nice to the creators behind the table and even if you don’t got the $$ to spare, a kind word goes a long way.

I actually would like to be under the sea in an Octopus' garden- that sounds nice.

There are few moments more blissful than taking a shower an collapsing on a fresh clean hotel bed after hauling 90+ lbs of con gear across 2 airports and a massive convention centre for 4 hours.

All ready for @emeraldcitycon.bsky.social ! Come see @silvaniart.bsky.social & me at AA C01-02

The terminals of Theseus.
Once they finally finish they have to go and start all over again.

It’s different every time. Welcome to Seattle, enjoy some cladding.

Sea-Tac, when your endless renovations are done, I had BETTER see a Beecher’s Mac n Cheese in every terminal including baggage claim.

1980’s weebul toy

Some of y’all never got one of these as a prize in elementary school and it shows.

Look, European comic fans I know you kinda have a tradition of writing to artists’ personal addresses asking for sketches, but those go straight in the bin here. DO NOT.

Anyone wearing red shirts with no words are gonna be assumed Gay… cuz it’s Gay Day. that’s been a thing for years.

Red hats with those specific words, I think they should. These people are HOPING for confrontation so they can play victim. Disney can refuse entry for people wearing inappropriate tshirt stuff like Mickey with a blunt..

Hey Disneyland, you let this shit slide, congrats, you’re a Nazi bar.

Oh SHIT I’m going today. Greeeeeeat. 🫩🫩🫩

Write your acceptance speech in Darkwing’s voice and have Jim collect the medal for you 😂

Lucy refusing to trade the precious Shlabotnik card is far more evil of her than all those yanked footballs combined.

Ooh yeah, I’m going at some point too. The churro sounds good too.

If that’s not full of enough boysenberry lava to overflow the plate in 0.5 seconds I’ll be extremely disappointed.

Absolutely zero tolerance for the "Oh you aren't as cynical or depressed as me? You fool, you normie" kind of posting. That shit's not just toxic, it's dripping with jealousy and is deeply pathetic.

Oh Amanda I’m so sorry. You did your absolute best and that also meant knowing when Mango had had enough. She was a wonderful spicy gal.

Absolutely gorgeous work. Gorillaz meets Jungle Book.
