@jolieruin.bsky.social's newest issue of the #SlutCake #Zine is a great read! If you like your art, literature, & comix spicy, this is the Zine for you! *Whispers* I also have some work featured as well!

I've been wanting to do #fanart of #BummerComix own Joner for ages! I was inspired by the #Spawn #10 cover where he meets #CerebusTheAardvark who remarks about being in color. My Jake and Seeker are usually in black n' white, & Joner is such a colorful character! #indie #comix #zine #variantcover

Delving into the depths of my #fanart drawer, I stumbled across this piece I did for @ashleyloob.bsky.social. LOVE their character V's look and sharp wit!

Just hedge your bets already and get out there!

Ummm.... Rose's are red, Crimson and clover, ...

The world is healing...I guess?

The purrfect autumn treat is here! Get the Black Cat Frappuccino at select U.S. #Starbucks locations now, and tell Salem we sent you!

Good God, this is so true it hurts!

A Snyder-Bro's review of the new Superman movie *eye roll*

genAI boosters are always like “you think you’re better than me because you drew a picture? You think you’re better than me because you read a book?” and it’s like, well, no, but you seem very unhappy

Incredible read! This comic deserves all the hype it gets. Incredible art, obviously would expect nothing less from Charles Burns, and an engrossing story! Right on @vaultofmidnight.bsky.social!

Keep on truckin’

In addition to It's Just another day #5 coming in 2027, I'm also very excited to get back to the wacky antics of Seeker in the pages of 'The Year of Reflection'! #webcomic

SHOUT IT FROM THE ROOFTOPS!!! This is soul crushingly true!

What if you see ICE at the polls? (Don't worry! Read on for the plan!) @indivisible.org roped me in to design and illustrate a new zine! Check it out in this 🧵 - and visit linktr.ee/wewillvote to sign up for the Election Protection Program and find all the resources you need!

So many shows!

It's #BacklistSaturday, & with issue 5 of It's Just another day coming in 2027, I'll take this chance to bump my first 4 issues! IJad picks up with Jake arriving home to a note on his door that thrusts he & his family into something of a drifter life. It's a unique coming of age tale! bchcomix.com

I can't believe we're already a week out from another amazing @aadl.org & @athenaeumcomicart.bsky.social #Indie #A2CAF! Didn't get many photos from behind my table, but love the ones I got! Had incredible table mates, met #Aadlgram's mascot, & saw stellar art! Couldnt've had a better time! #comix

THAT'S TOMORROW!!!

#Booksky #BannedBookWeek #QuestionsWorthAsking

@aadl.org & @athenaeumcomicart.bsky.social's #Indie #A2CAF is just hours away! While you're meeting the incredible talents of #KateSkelly, #NoahVanSciver, & @natepowell.bsky.social, be sure to stop by the vendors! I'll be there with It's Just another day 1-4! Issue 5 comes out in 2027! #comix #zine

@aadl.org & @athenaeumcomicart.bsky.social put on a great show! Gotta respond in kind! #Indie #Comix #Zine

Such an honor to interview @sosaidsara.bsky.social for @confusionmi.bsky.social's Youtube channel! #writer #Author #ConFusionMi

Well... I WAS working on a new page for a #Zine I'll be premiering at this weekends #Indie #A2CAF. Special shout-out to @aadl.org & @athenaeumcomicart.bsky.social Sean for putting on this event! Saturday can't get here soon enough! #Comix #Cat

Incredible resource! I've always admired hand letterers...I sadly am not one. Maybe someday, but not currently haha. Do happy #LetterersAppreciationDay to you all who rock it out!

Potted Fish!!? Yum!

Another incredible installment! @confusionmi.bsky.social is knocking it out of the park. I loved @jimchines.com & @slashnburnett.bsky.social's tales of indie and professional publishing. Really got me thinking!

This has probably gotta be the scariest thing I've ever seen...

Congrats nominee's!

There are so many characters I see online and adore....but I know nothing about them for that exact reason haha

I don't know about you, but the wait for @yiffmagazine.bsky.social to hit my mailbox is AGONIZING....but I know it'll be worth it!

Let's manifest along with @wastedinkdistro.bsky.social!

I've drawn some #Furry art before, but I've got some upcoming ambitions so thought I'd go back to the beginning...thanks to my local #Library!

I am a sucker for @roboticsteve.bsky.social's character Saber and her vaguely erotic threats, so with the predicament she's currently in I couldn't resist doing some #FanArt! Hope I did her justice!

Given, lets be real, the last decade or so has been, I am very proud of my home state for rocking this out! It's good to see some hope again because damn has that been lacking for far too long.

As a creator who uses music in their writing I was very interested in this video. As I watched it I was hanging on every word! @confusionmi.bsky.social knocks it outta' the park again! #indie #writing #literature #author #ConFusionSF

FYI.

This's the most low key #SmallPressDay I've had in years because of school, BUT I'm looking forward to being out n' about next year! In the meantime we flashback to my biggest SPD, 2024's where I was tabling at @grzinefest.bsky.social! #SmallPressDay2026 #GrandRapidsZineFest #indie #zine #comix

And my final @smallpressday.bsky.social stop in London today was the Cartoon Museum. #smallpressday

-_- Story checks out...

Such an incredible read! It was weird and relatable initially but then it really takes off and has you hooked until the very end. Daniel Clowes really knocked it outta the park again!
