Eyy #PortfolioDay - Tango here, a writer/artist for comics and always with an emphasis on motion, composition, & storytelling. akatango.carrd.co 💌 hellorooftoptango@gmail.com

Here’s the cover art for HUMBUCKER, an OGN written by @eharburn.bsky.social, with art by me and Jordie Bellaire and lettered by @adityab.net. Out in April from @readtinyonion.bsky.social and @imagecomics.com

Hey all! 🌊 We have one week left to make Oceanman Adventures happen and I need your help. If you haven’t backed the book yet please check out the link in my Bsky profile, there are so many talented people working on this and the stories are so so fun, you don’t want to get left out on this one ❤️⚓️🦑

Publishers/ comic creators -- keep working with HUMAN writers and artists. And if you're the one doing the hiring, make sure you're including women, POC and members of the LGBTQIA+ community. If I can do it, you can too.

STILL SWINGIN #deadlock #deadlockfanart

you say the whole world's ending honey, it already did 🥤💫

It was brought to my attention that Christopher uses they/them pronouns. That’s on me and my apologies. I take it seriously and we do the best we can but on occasion mistakes are made.

It’s a threefer! Pouchtober days 24, 25, and 26! Laurel Gand, D’Orc, and Hardware!

Guys, I've had several projects all demanding attention in order to keep them moving along. That's a ton of behind the scenes work leaving no time to promote DEADCRUMB. With only a few days left in the campaign, please consider pledging or sharing it with your peeps.

DEADCRUMB is a 48 page noir from @guglie.bsky.social, @willcoronapilgrim.bsky.social, @letteringbear.bsky.social, @randystone.bsky.social and me! We've reached our initial goal of a black and white release, but we're on the path for adding graytones and colour! www.kickstarter.com/projects/alt...

I don't love being 15 episodes into a comics podcast I'm REALLY enjoying before it becomes clear they have not yet talked to or about the work of any female creators. I appreciate that it's unpaid work, and are excited to talk about their own influences, but also counterpoint... c'monnn guysss

Finished this today! Lots of great insights—even for someone like me who's been doing this for <sigh> a couple of decades. This one piece of advice in particular is sadly always in need of pointing out. cc @sxbond.bsky.social

The first comic script I wrote was for the 2020 @madcavestudios.com Talent Search. I’ve never won, but in the 6 years since I’ve had stories published in these anthologies, published my own (Made in Delco), and, of course, Penny and the Yeti. Today I was down not knowing what’s next, but hell yeah!

Some speech bubble covers from just the past year, all from different series:

HEY! HI! HELLO! The ZENITH: FULL COLOUR OMNIBUS is on Final Order Cut-Off this weekend I had the deep, deep honour, thanks to the folks of @2000ad.bsky.social, of bringing Steve Yeowell's inks for Phases 1-3 to full colour and I hope you all contact your local comic shop to pre-order your copy now

Mind you, these robot dogs have existed for nearly a decade and plenty of people could tell you “oh, that’s gonna be used by the police to harm protesters.”

#Deadlock 🔴 🟢 🟣 I drew Baxter Society stickers for the @mundanemystics.bsky.social zine. Go buy them, alright? 👁️

Good morning!! I'm opening 3 emergency illustration commissions today - have a car that needs fixing, upcoming bills and need to generally have change to survive! Base price begins at $100+ and will vary on complexity!! DM if interested, please.

Who do I know that could/would/wants to draw a cool as fuck alternative history David Bowie comic?

I still have time to take on more projects in December, February and onwards! so if you were thinking of commissioning a logo or other graphic before the planned 20% price increase, please reach out before November 1st! Let's design something cool together 🙂

Hey comic community, Debbie who runs @excaliburcomicspdx.bsky.social is going through a hard time right now and she and her family could use some support. If you feel like giving or sharing that would be appreciated.

While I have had many excellent pitches I am severely lacking in pitches from non-white people and I am very aware of that. I really really really want to elevate some non-white voices with this so I urge you to apply. Please please please.

Loving these so far. The weird-ish, spooky corner of DC is flourishing. Very distinct looks for each.

Have you seen the main cover for Absolute Black Canary by Belen Ortega? 😍😍😍 Original art will be available in January 2027, when the book is out. Feel free to reach out to us now, and we’ll make sure to contact you with all the details ahead of the release! + info ➡️ hello@thegreenroomcomicart.com

YO! Just announced. I'll be in EXQUISITE CORPSES: BOOK OF THE DEAD! I was VERY lucky to write a tale for @brianlevel.bsky.social and I can't wait to show it off. A very VERY bloody splatter of a tale. Big love to the EXC crew for trusting us to take the car around the block. OUT JANUARY 2027

#inktober new batch. I asked people to suggest character I could have fun with. I try to mix them with the official list #hooray #evecoffin #gangly #tankgirl #contraption #wonderwoman #flightless #laracroft

Color practice over Jaime Infante awesome pages #comics #comicbookcolorist #marvel #punisher

Still some of my favorite pages, from Harley Quinn #28 (2023) written by Tini Howard

This a pretty typical final comic inks file for me. Separate layers for panel frames, characters and backgrounds (to make line color holds easier) and if there's any special fx. ALWAYS labeled 🫡 Don't stress out your colorists -

Happy 85th, Wonder Woman!

Due to shipping delays my LCS didn't have my holds, so my only comic today is this copy of Dinner Date by @joannestarer.bsky.social and @kharyrandolph.bsky.social that I picked up on a whim. Which turned out great because this comic fucking rules! It's a ton of fun and I can't wait the next the one
