Just in time to get into the Halloween spirit, I’m teaching a horror writing class with Queens Collaboratory. If you’re in NYC and want to dip your toes into writing horror, this the place to do it. Tickets are $20-$25, and spots are pretty limited. luma.com/9pzyg2tm

To all freelance peers who are struggling to make ends meet this year: it's not you. It's been getting tougher and tougher to get any gigs and many private clients struggle to pay their own bills.
Whatever it takes for us to get through this, please don't doubt your skills and value as a creative ❀️

Gentle reminder that in the late '50s, the U.S. government did not censor comics. Comics companies censored themselves.

Not sure why that crossed my mind today but there it is...

Comics are actually very difficult to write if you’re coming from a prose-writing background.

It’s a VERY different skillset from proseβ€”in fact, it’s closer to writing a screenplay than a novel. You gotta know enough about film language and camera to make the comic panels & art *mean* something.

The upcoming proposed rules surrounding NSFW art are bad and the Bsky mod team should feel bad.

Fellow artists: Remember that even if you don't make NSFW art, rules like these eventually come back to bite us all, especially if we make works about queerness.

We've only received single-digit event proposals so far! 😒

Did you attend any of our incredible online panels this past year? Those came from folks submitting their panel ideas! Event proposals are open to the public. You do NOT have to be a @cartoonist.coop member to pitch us a NIF event!!ΒΉ

Now is a great time to back up those β€œTrans Rights!” statements by hiring trans people so they have the ability to afford to live.

I'm so excited to teach kids how to draw comics omg. You mean I get to teach them how to make comic books and how to tell a story using pictures???? Amazing!!!

We don't need another publisher - we need a union. Looking towards what organized labor looks like in comics is the only way forward.

Great line-up here, but even better seeing @artsypabster.bsky.social✨

One thing I love more than occasionally seeing myself on PW is seeing my friends in there!!!
