muchísimas gracias, bonico!!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

This is Kanaka! A D&D character for my friend @edmanix64.bsky.social

Here are some designs @monoapilas.bsky.social did for the Godzilla project that I didn't have room for in the post. We didn't make it to page art, just a mock cover and designs. It's fun playing in someone else's kaiju sandbox. 😂

Comics have dragged me into a lawsuits, hurled racial slurs at me, broken my spirit and bank… A retrospective on my twelve (maybe thirteen) years working in independent comics.

A retrospective on my twelve (maybe thirteen) years working in independent comics. Probably TL;DR, but wanted to put it all in one place. Likely going to post stuff that's too long for Bluesky or Instagram so, *forced smile that breaks jaw* like and subscribe!!! 😁

A man paints gaming miniatures while young women struggle with the anxiety that they might be kind of gay

As I letter the last few pages of @monoapilas.bsky.social's superlative art on GAMER MOM: THE MOM WHO GAMES, may I remind everyone of the importance of gaming miniatures? Even if you lose, you have a fun little guy you can put on your shelf and pretend it's a Borrower.

A hooting, hollering, spindly monster of a cracker looms over our poor, sweet, innocent Cat-Ears Girl, a.k.a. April, quoting the dad from that Twister Sister video, "Alright mister; what do you think you're doing? You call this a room? This is a pigsty! I want you to straighten up this area NOW! YOU ARE A DISGUSTING SLOB! Stand up straight! Tuck in that shirt! Adjust that belt buckle! Tie those shoes! The hell is this; Twisted Sister, huh? The hell is that!? Wipe that smile off your face. DO YOU UNDERSTAND!? WHAT is that? A Twisted Sister pin on your uniform!? What kind of a 'man' are you? You're worthless and weak! You do nothing! You are nothing! You sit in here all day and play that sick! Repulsive! ELECTRIC TWANGER! I CARRIED AN M16 AND YOU: YOU CARRY THAT...THAT...THAT...GUITAR!! WHAT ARE YOU!? WHERE DO YOU COME FROM!? ARE YOU LISTENING TO ME!? WHAT DO YOU WANT TO DO WITH YOUR LIFE!?"

The art for Gamer Mom is officially done and dusted meaning any further delays are my lettering (and also the holidays disrupting printing and mailing.)

Anyway, I've been excited for this completely deranged panel ever since @monoapilas.bsky.social sent me the thumbnail. Dialogue, uh, not final.

Hotwalls Winter Market, Portsmouth, this weekend (then again 11-14th Dec for Hotwalls Festive Market)

Goran Gligovic is a much loved and respected asset to the comics and art community. A ban of any sort (I assume for his unwavering support for struggling Palestinians) is a disgrace.

Reverse this immediately, @bsky.app, this is shameful.

An art piece by Goran Gligovic of a sword resting against a battered tree in front of a rocky dungeon entrance amidst a snowy field. The text says UNBAN GORAN GLIGOVIC.

Hey @bsky.app @safety.bsky.app @support.bsky.team please unsuspend Goran immediately.

Goran is a great person, a great artist, and the whole anti-Palestine thing youre on is one of those "Ford funding Hitler" disasters you remember being shocked and dismayed by when you learned of in middle school.

@bsky.app @safety.bsky.app @support.bsky.team

You need to unban Goran Gligovic right now. This ridiculous behavior from your moderation team needs to be purged immediately.

PANEL 1 It’s LUXEMBOURG! Inexplicably looking cool. April and Litsa are in shock as they watch him unload, like, Jedi ninja moves on the soldiers. APRIL Luxembourg! I mean, uh – What’s your… name? LUXEMBOURG Just think of me as a fighter for justice. – And when you see the Luxembourgish flag, remember me. PANEL 2 INT. LIBRARY - BACK TO REALITY Luxembourg simpers in front of April, who pats him on the head uncertainly. LUXEMBOURG And pwease think I’m cool, no one ever thinks I’m cool.

I think @monoapilas.bsky.social Javier's art is so good because it reaches Chuck Jones levels of comedic detail in the smallest gestures.

PANEL 1 April and Elitsabeth peek out from behind a tree. ELITSABETH I can't see this ending well for Roghan’s mom. APRIL You wouldn't say that if you ever played hide-and-seek with her. ELITSABETH You’re being silly. APRIL Six hours she clung to the garage ceiling! PANEL 2 Candida looms over behind Roghan. CANDIDA Look well, my daughter. Roghan. Uh. Cat-ears girl. – Behold the wages of gaming. Sic semper ludis. ROGHAN I… I promise we can just talk normal.

After an eventful summer, Gamer Mom: The Mom Who Games is rapidly speeding toward completion. Here the characters are, all dressed up to re-enact the Franco-Prussian War for reasons which are unclear even to them. @monoapilas.bsky.social is - let me be clear - an incredibly talented artist.

A digital drawing of one of those drawing tutorials that says 'don't do this, do this.' The drawing is of an almost naked middle-aged man doing a flying kick. The 'Don't do this' one has a bunch of areas circled and a cross under it. The 'Do this' one is exactly the same but without the circles and a tick instead of a cross. The text reads 'Needlessly adding red circles will ruin your art' and a smaller bit of text at the bottom reads 'Bonus tip! Add a tick under all your art so people think you did it right.'

This isn't the real dialogue going on @monoapilas.bsky.social's art for Gamer Mom. But it should be.

🤣🤣

Who else is excited for @criticalrole.bsky.social 's #TheMightyNein Animated Series???? 'Cause sure I AM!!!

Did you know that I made M9/VM keychains and sticker sheets? They are absurdly cute and I still have some in store if you want one 👀

Caleb, my husband, wait for me!

Rethinking some dialogue as I letter @monoapilas.bsky.social's incredible art for Gamer Mom

I want to take a step back for special praise that @monoapilas.bsky.social nailed comic art hard mode: Draw An Horse

oooh thank you so much!!

watercolor on rainy days

heeey, do you remember "six fanarts" challenge? Well, I've done the first six characters that some people give me! But I'll do a few more because I have a huge list, and every character is so cool.
Thank you everyone❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥

el trabajo de Matías siempre es una locura, pero estas páginas en blanco y negro no son ni medio normales ❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥
