That's great! Cleo is a graphic novel series (and later a tv show) I drew for a good number of years. You can find more about it in my bio link. 🙂

Dunno about hanging out, but I can do my best to sneak him in somewhere next time I draw the two.

Awe great!

Very cool. Positive Vibes my friend

We get some amazing inspiration and cultural advancements out of them tho! Totally worth it imo.

The real feeling. So true T^T

This is so wholesome and I love it. 🥰 It's beautiful when people, especially kids, share how much they love the art we create and how it inspires them. 🥹🥹🥹 💖💖💖

Thanks, Derek!

Gosh these comments making me feel simultaneously both loved and very old. Haha.

I love this!

Real

This is so applicable across the board with any of the arts and even applies to content creation. 👏👏👏

That's the plan ^^

Hard follow. 🥲 Good to meet you.

listening to compliments is the perfect time to lock in.

I haven’t read past issue one yet, but have watched the entire series. Beautiful!

love this

Find your joy and know others find joy in what you put your passion into. Nothing makes me smile more than a friend showing the painting they love the most and explaining how difficult it was even if I can't understand the enthusiasm makes the art better.

I love all the old school comic artists on here in the tech age doing their thing.

So so accurate

Love the expression of serenity at the end. You're just calmly drawing away, content with the knowledge that your art brings joy and warmth to others.

A series of old comics called Illustrated Classics that covered books like A Tale of Two Cities, Frankenstein and many others. Plastic man (the dated old ones) was always a favorite.

Art is worth it

Too few people give praise to anyone for anything, it's sad..

Comics are easy... its just the backgrounds, pacing, acting, quick read, composition and you got a point...

My granddaughter is addicted to anime. I figure if we can get her to read that it’s a winner. I grew up in the 50s and 60s loving comic books.

NO WAY I LOVED THAT COMIC

That could just as easily been my 4th grader writing you, she tore through the series in a week. Steady on, man!

The cutest thing ever.💓

🥰

The same thing happened to me but instead of an email it was my ocd and instead of an encouraging message it said if I didnt draw ten pieces that day my dad would die Drawings a lot of fun :)

Google Play search for E-Play free music software

This is so cool, you’re so cool I wanna be like u one day Very talented and cool :>

So true. C'est notre béné-malédiction commune... Si ce n'était pour nos (rares) lecteurs qui nous coincent, cela ferait longtemps qu'on ferait un "vrai travail"...

🥰

Sometimes, the simplest thing could be the greatest motivation.

Wow. You're really good. ☺️ This one got me in the feels. 💙 Keep inspiring people. Keep drawing. ☺️

Been there myself - though that last panel usually involves a few tears 💙

I really love this!

🩷🥰

❤️❤️❤️👍

Says it all- well most of it- also for me it’s a compulsion and I have to draw or write or usually both.

You're definitely right about that.

🥰

This is the dirtiest little secret. Even one smile on a single person's face can be pure opium for us creatives.

The grind to unending but so Fulfilling

Accurate 🤣

😭❤️😭❤️

Saw you by chance read this started tearing up decided to follow please never stop what you do

Totally! Ugh. 😅

Spent thanksgiving drawing and coloring with kids. It seriously heals you

Awe! That's awesome. Thanks so much! 🥰

Its always the little moments that keep us going o7

so wholesome awww

Aww :)

Seems I got a lot to look forward to reading and watching now! Im so hyped to hear it did that well, esp to get a tv show thats like a super big deal!

Aw...

can’t wait for this that’s when you’ve truly made it in my eyes

There is no greater validation than a child’s admiration.

💙💜💙💜💙😍

thank you for your service

It’s never about us, is it. It’s always about others. I know right where you’re coming from.

Verstehe, du hast Angst deinen Job an einem 5 Klässler zu verlieren ...

Inspiring!

His back's gonna HURT!

When very young, I had a difficult time reading. Mom bought illustrated classics. I read every one of them. 1948

So True

Your Supergirl/Batgirl comics have cheered me up so much over the last few years. Best things to read during the Halloween season.

motivation is always a healthy answer

I'm running into this with a new venture I'm undertaking; creating some fun children's books/stories. And I haven't even gotten to the illustration part yet!

Great work! I really liked this comic strip.

I doubt it. Megacorporations want to make money.

Best feeling when someone writes you to tell you that you've inspired them in some way.

📌 Saw this the other week and I’m still thinking about it. Art has felt so hard, so pointless, since November 5th. I need to hold on to the reason it matters.

Fuck, this hit surprisingly hard...

This so accurate, lol. Thank you for sharing your art 🫶

The best inspiration for art isn’t other art It’s knowing people love your art and what you do to create it

I love this 😊

Aewwwww

Aw best story! Brought a smile

Well that’s just adorable 🥰

Aww that's so sweet

Im still learning how to make my own but rn it kinda sucks (mostly on paper)

Those messages will motivate you every time 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

So encouraging!

You gotta do it because you make people happy, even with struggles :)

My son also loved Cleopatra in Space!

Daww

It's the little things that keep you going. but man, do those little things mean the world to us.

Awwsome! Best word to describe this 🥰👍 Words can mean so much when they're used by the right people.

Thanks a lot Mike, the overwhelming nostalgia of remembering this book has put me into anaphylactic shock, you'll be hearing form my lawyers.

Oh! I'll have to give it a listen. The series had so much love and then the most unforgivable distribution.

We should all be so fortunate in our often frustrating endeavors as to experience something so wonderfully affirming and encouraging like that. ❤️

WHOLESOME 🥹

I love this. Very humble

i feel this

Ever since I found Cleopatra in Space it has greatly influenced my life and inspirations. The show and comics are a story I tell to my friends with excitement and joy because I love so many things about it. The way you layout pages, your color choices, etc. are a joy to look at and think about often
