there are more of you now, so new pinned. i’m mark. i write comics like IT TOOK LUKE, SONIC THE HEDGEHOG, BUSINESS AS USUAL, and THE ARRANGEMENT. so…if you’re into body horror, social satire, or sonic the hedgehog…ive got what you’re lookin for 🙂‍↕️

these are the kind of shows you (comic creators) should be tabling — way more comic focused, people are more likely to be there to buy comics, low overhead. if you are a comic creator in arizona, you should apply to table this 100%

This. And speaking of which, the Arizona Comic Book Arts Festival (AZCAF) opened up registration a couple days ago. It's $70 bucks for a table. Come hang with us. azcomicartfest.com/table-applic...

this article confirms what ive been telling younger comic writers for years: unless you are very wealthy, there is no point to table in artist alley at a big show (unless table comped). you will not make your money back & your time’s better spent meeting people www.comicsbeat.com/is-artist-al...

comicsbeat.comIs Artist Alley even sustainable any more?It's more expensive than ever to set up in artist alley or at a comics show - and here are some of the numbers

fwiw i now table exclusively zinefests and small comic shows that are in the city i live in. table fee is usually 50-100 bucks. i usually make 200-350 from a one day event.

HELLO DARKNESS 27 is via @boom-studios.com thank you to our editors @sebastiangirner.bsky.social and @ex-liontamer.bsky.social for the guidance & trust

Hello #PortfolioDay I'm Zach and I work on illustrations for lots of things, mostly games and books. I'm pretty booked up for October and some of November, but get in touch and we can get the ball rolling on something 🕸️ emo-sludge.com

as a graduate of uchicago, i cannot overstate just how hostile the admin is to survivors of sexual violence. it is a profoundly evil place

The university and the fraternity's national headquarters said they were still gathering information and would suspend events at the AEPi chapter during the investigation.

friendly reminder that the three-part HELLO DARKNESS story i wrote, THE ARRANGEMENT—a body horror comic about surrogacy & gender, starts serializing on 10/26/26!! it’s gonna be a trip! pre order and lock in!! 😈

hey #portfolioday !! im mark and i write comics like THE ARRANGEMENT (boom studios), IT TOOK LUKE: Overworked & Underpaid (oni press), and SONIC THE HEDGEHOG (idw). im looking to add a couple more projects to my 2027 slate; horror or humor preferred!!

in the process of getting rid of literally hundreds of single issue comics via various half price books locations, because im moving in 2 weeks tired. here is my haul from the first one.

rewatching EVIL DEAD: BURN, and man, im so baffled as to how people didn’t think it felt like an evil dead movie…it’s lean, mean, funny, and brutal—just also french vaniček has the juice, ive been a fan since his 2023 film VERMINES

look at these covers 😍😍😍 also i wrote the script for this one, it’s gonna be a good time 😈

Here's the retailer solicitation page for #IDWSonic Issue 93, as relayed by IDW Publishing. "Can Whisper and Tangle fend off attacks from reality-bending foes, hold their friendship together, and find a way to get rid of the mist permeating the town?" (via @bleedingcool.com) #SonicNews

i hold this same belief. i listen to the recipes when they tell me to do this, but when i do so i am filled with doubt.

i have a crank opinion that i feel very deeply that lives in my heart and it’s that reserving the pasta water is a scam and doesn’t do shit and that it’s fake

People will cut out artificial food dyes, spend hours at the gym, drink vitamin infused water…and then go to the airport and rawdog breathing in an airborne pathogen that can disable you permanenty and is basically guaranteed to be there.
