I’m doing far fewer conventions these days, so I don’t get to talk to young artists about their portfolios as much as I used to. I miss that, and so I do a lot of local talks. I’ve attempted doing things over email and zoom, but giving artists feedback online never seems to work- at least not when I do it.

That said, if I was looking at your portfolio of comic book art right now, here’s what I’d probably tell you. #protip

Making a post office run tomorrow & I can mail you a copy of UNDERGROUND while I'm there. Tense thriller by
@JeffParker, me & @rondanchan !
Here's a look at some uncolored line art. (The book is in color! These are what was handy.)

Your copy will be sketched & signed by both me AND Jeff. Free shipping to addresses in the USA!

#LittleLulu by #JohnStanley. The cultural context for gags like these is long gone, but Stanley’s cartooning, his control of the specific rhythms and quirks of the medium, is so great that every page, every panel, still delights.

One of my favorite cartoonists. I’ve learned so much from him about how #comics work.

AITA for repeatedly cancelling plans, keeping my friends waiting?

Context: I suffer from severe anxiety which often makes me cancel plans last minute. This has been happening almost daily for a while now, and my friends Vladimir and Estragon get frustrated,

Did you know @kierongillen, Tamra Bonvillain & I collaborated on a new 24 page story for the IMAGE! anthology? It’s called CLOSER and it’s terrific.

I’ve put some sets of our issues on etsy. Great deal! These three issues = 180 pages of new comics by top creators. Go take a look at the line up!
