A promotional image of a chibi version the two lead characters from Knight in the Woods. They're embracing adorably, with stars and ribbons around them. The background is a saturated version of cherry blossom branches. The promotional text reads "69% funded!" above them, and below them the word Nice in parantheticals

First up is "The Fundead: Dead to Rites" by @cameronmukwa.bsky.social
Waking up in the hospital is never fun, but after hearing the plans doctors and parents had for them, Cass just wants everything to end. But when they get their wish, can they still get back home?

I’m so excited to share the results of our first ever Spin Rack Comics Jam! The theme we chose was “ghosts,” and everyone went different directions with it, so I’m looking forward to getting to read them all myself!

We have 11 short comics perfect for the spooky season here
itch.io/b/3344/spin-...
A collection of 11 comic covers on a spooky cobwebbed background with the text “Spin Rack Comics Bundle” and “Available now on itch.io” with a QR code in the middle right area. A watercolor cover image shows boots walking down a pebbly road with a gnarled walking stick, a skirt and coat flowing above. All is in blue-grey tones except for bright cobalt floating will-o-the-wisps. Title text: When I Was Walking Home Last Night” Author text: by Lucy Kagan A watercolor back cover image: A young woman in a big coat holding a walking stick squats on the ground putting herbs into her rucksack while looking up to see the stars begin to emerge. She’s deep in shadowy bushes in the woods. Text: Heading home through the forest, a local mage discovers that there is more going on in it than she had ever noticed before. A mysterious spirit guides her through places she’s never seen before, but for what purpose? A sample page of the watercolor comic: Three skinny panels show a rustling in the bushes, then a figure dashing out, and then paws in all bright cobalt blue landing on the ground. A narrow reaction panel shows the main character in profile, looking on. “A ghost fox!” she thinks. The last panel is full bleed, showing a glowing blue fox in the middle of a dark forest path that forks, and little hints of will-o-the-wisps all around.

Clark has a secret to tell Lois...and it's that DC GOTCHA FOR GAZA is back baby!!

#Art #Comics #DCcomics #Superman #Artsky
Panel 1: Clark Kent looks to the side, mulling over his words carefully. Clark: “Ms. Lane, there’s something I’ve been meaning to tell you for a long time.” Panel 2: Clark looks to his other side, hesitantly gesturing. We see him standing in front of a window with an orange sun set. Lois looks at him in the foreground. Clark: “I don’t know why I waited. What it says about me that I kept putting this off.” Panel 3: Clark looks up hopefully at Lois off panel. Clark: “But I’m ready to tell you now.” Panel 4: Lois looks nervous, unsure of what Clark is trying to tell her. Lois: “Clark… what are you talking about?” Panel 5: Clark grips his white shirt with both his hands. His tie loose. Clark’s eyes are closed, determined. Clark: “Lois, the truth is…I’m…” Panel 1: Clark heroically rips his shirt open to reveal a t-shirt with the logo “DC for Gaza” with a Palestinian flag printed behind the typeface. Clark: “Volunteering for DC Gotcha for Gaza! A fan-run fundraiser where you can get fan art, fics & edits in return for donating to families in Gaza!” Panel 2: a chibi version of Lois reacts in shock! She holds her hands up, surprised. Lois: “Wow! You mean the fan initiative that raised over $5k last year?” Panel 3: Lois rips her shirt open to reveal that she too has the same DC for Gaza shirt on. Lois: “Because I’m volunteering too!” Panel 4: Clark is amazed, mouth agape. Clark: “Boy am I glad I told you this” Panel 5: Clark and Lois high five each other. Lois: “Let’s done do some good in the world, Clark Kent.”

I have some more detailed thoughts on this, but it really blows that SCBWI is so cost prohibitive. I've never pursued membership because of the cost, but if I did in order to join their digital conference to access the "put your portfolio in front of art directors" add on, I'd be out $300ish.

IT’S MY BOOK BIRTHDAY!!!! 🥳🌈✨

it’s hard to express what it means for this book to be out in the world today. amidst all the attacks on genderdiverse people not just in the states but around the world, this book is a reminder that “nonbinary people have always been here & can be found everywhere.”

I am banging the drum again and begging you to stop calling your comics, your illustrations, your video essays, your writing, your editing, whatever you make, don't call it "content"!

AI and tech bros try to reduce our work to "content", but you're making something that matters! Be proud of that!

FINDING MYSELF WITH YOU is a romance both deeply personal & of my wildest dreams – falling in love & changing each other forever as you become more alike, wading into the liminal space of sexuality & gender. I hope you’ll look forward to falling down the rabbit hole with Alex & Shayan.

I'm looking forward to pride this year, and couldn't wait til June to draw this! Made using the rizzcraft set from @truegrittexture.bsky.social. I've never used this much texture at once, and I don't think I can go back!

#art #sketch #kidlit #kidlitart
Illustration of a pride parade made with risograph textures. The image is mostly pastel, and features an Indigenous man in blue jeans, a gay couple in shorts holding hands, with one wearing the pan flag over his shoulder, a nonbinary person who looks masculine, a feminine presenting person in heels and a fluffy dress, a child in a skirt wearing the transgender flag, and a feminine presenting couple holding hands, one lighter skinned and the other Black, with the lighter skinned woman holding a bisexual flag, and the Black woman in a rainbow jumpsuit and transgender flag colored boots.
