#HowToTouchGrass is a comics anthology about just that, launching August 26: buff.ly/cAMWLzE

A seal with a brassy-gold rim with the words "The Secret Phoenix Society" along the top and "E Pluribus Ignis" along the bottom. In the center on a purple field is a rooster, wings spread wide, with fire coming out of its beak.

Spent today working on updates The Secret Phoenix Society and I just got the new logo back from @penflower-ink.bsky.social and it looks phenomenal!

One thing I love about art is that there can be a masterpiece of composition and lighting with breathtaking emotion, but when you ask the artist what their favorite part of it is they'll be like, "That was a really good elbow."

Sorry you aren't feeling the best about it, but happy birthday! You've always been kind in the comics space, and that means something.

If it qualifies, I have a new one page comic about making art no matter what, a kind of creative defiance.

shot composition types

shot composition types

referenced a "cowboy shot" in a script then was like "wait do comics people know this term?" useful free terminology!

it's a shot composition of a character above the knee (also called an "american ") - they call it the "cowboy" bc it was popularized in westerns so you could see their guns
