I'm going to do some posts about what a colorists actually does. I see a lot of reviews that praise the beautiful rendering of the line artist & the color choices of the flatters. So I would just like to clear up what a colorist does.

Trans & GNC Comics A booklist of graphic novels with stories focusing on trans issues, featuring trans protagonists, and/or made by trans/gender-nonconforming creators.

Trans people and their right to life are not a political distraction. Period.

Here’s a booklist of comics by trans creators/featuring trans and GNC characters and stories. Please support trans comic creators (and all trans ppl), now more than ever!!

Oh hey! I colored this and totally forgot to post (oops, I blame grad school)! I LOVED working on this book and it's always a joy to see something released into the world. 💖

(Also it was an excellent excuse to take a tour of the Lizzie Borden house "for reference" 😅)

"to democratize art is not every person having a cute drawing made in seconds, to democratize art is every person having time and health to learn and make art if they chose to, and mainly to have the means to think and relate introspectively with art."

Let's start a new #ColorJam!

Taken from a classic Batman cover, this month's art is by Todd McFarlane. Have fun!

If anyone is looking for a colorist to join their team in this, I'd be down for carving out time for this! Especially interested in some limited palette stuff.

Today I was laid off from Dark Horse Comics. While devastating news, I'm so proud of what I helped make there and am grateful to have worked alongside such amazing coworkers and creators.

I'm not quitting comics yet, so if you or someone you know needs a savvy editor please reach out.

Comics community, I know there's A LOT going on right now, but I just heard that Vita Ayala had a fire in their apartment when a building burnt down next door. Sounds like they and their family are OK, but if you've got any ability to help out, Vita is good people. gofund.me/be26c49f

I took a several month social media hiatus between making a move, starting grad school, and pondering my life and all of my choices. Now I'm back and catching up! 💖

A digital painting of a woman clasping her face in fear, superimposed over a spooky little house, which is flanked by wind-twisted trees and birds in flight. The sky behind the dark house is a vivid crimson.

A digital painting of a gigantic evil sorceress, her red hair flowing in the wind, her claw-like hand hovering over a castle on a hill. A dragon soars in the sky, silhouetted against a pale moon, while a brave knight rides toward the castle, sword held high.

A digital painting of a frightened but courageous squire, holding a glowing magic sword and pushing up against the wall of a cave. In the background, we see a massive, sinister dragon, and the burning remains of the squire's master.

A digital painting made entirely in vivid red and pale blue colours, depicting a skeletal, undead woman draped in a flowing red dress. She stands atop a set of stairs, her bony hand extended toward the viewer, with a look of wrath upon her face. The pale moon frames her head like a halo.

Hi Gail! I'm a comic colorist, super excited to have been able to work with pubs like HarperCollins to help make books for YA and MG audiences. Here's some pages from The Ojja-Wojja (Mags Visaggio & Jenn St-Onge) that I'm proud of, and some samples from Justin Barcelo and Morgan Beem.

Yes! Please do this! It especially helps with motion lines and hand drawn sfx.
