My new cover for The Rising Knight by Catherine Akel, coming in March from Simon and Schuster. amzn.to/48Aipf8
A handsome young blond king in pahe yellow robes with red lions emblazoned on his tunic. He is sitting on a throne a beautiful queen in elaborate robes of ermine and fleur de lis patterns at his right hand, and at his other hand, a brown haired grim faces older handsome knight in golden tunic with small diamond patters, The background is a very deep red with a small crown patter, and tendrils of thorns.

While Giving Tuesday may be over, our Pledge Drive continues through December, and the cartoonists we defend go on speaking satirical truths to power every day. You can help at cartoonistsrights.org/donate
“THE ROLE OF AN EDITORIAL CARTOONIST IS TO EXPOSE ABUSE OF POWER AND INJUSTICE. AUTOCRATS HATE THEIR CORRUPTION BEING EXPOSED AND LAUGHED AT.” – Ann Telnaes, Pulitzer Prize-winning cartoonist PLEASE HELP US DEFEND CARTOONISTS’ RIGHTS WITH A DONATION to cartoonistsrights.org/donate In a cartoon by Ann Telnaes, President Trump wears a kingly robe of purple and ermine, a red MAGA hat/gold crown hybrid adorned with a “T”, and holds a gilded sceptre topped with money bag marked “$”; he is otherwise naked.

I kept my twit-act in part because I’d been documenting progress on my new book since its beginning. As I fully phase out twix, sharing some past posts here as I go. This was the first finished spread - part of 22pg 15ft long continuous sequence retelling the Odyssey! Onward! #Nostos #Unflattening 2
A 2-page black and white comics spread, with imagery continuing beyond the side boundaries of the pages as it’s part of a longer sequence. The center is a tapestry that stretches through the page displaying Odysseus’s ship with the lighthouse of pharos, Penelope weaving a pharos, and the bag of Aeolus. The image of penelope emerges from the tapestry, near it there's a meta-tapestry with warp and weft of threads that make the page, all woven by hands from the reader’s perspective. They hands unwind at the wrists to merge with a labyrinth that fills bottom of page metapmorphosizing from greek key patterns that make the boundary of the tapestry. At top the moon in three phases and a double headed axe spins through the page - in one instance mirroring the full moon with crescents on either side. The axe transforms into a monarch butterfly across the page. Also there’s an owl who moves backwards across the page until it comes to rest on Penelope’s loom. It’s a complicated page... (oh, and I have twice as many characters as Twitter here - but that’s probably enough)

A blast from my past - the Medieval Soldier database takes nearly 300,000 military service records from 1369-1453 and makes them available as a searchable database.

An invaluable resource for understanding medieval warfare, society and the English medieval state. Learn more in the link. 🗃️
We built a database of 290,000 English medieval soldiers – here’s what it reveals
We created the database in order to challenge assumptions about the lack of professionalism of everyday soldiers.

Hey, so, I've been fired. Now that I'm unemployed like the other half of Bluesky, if anyone knows of work for a writer, reporter, or nonprofit grants manager, I'd be much obliged. You all know where to find me.

I'm watching the 1948 SUPERMAN movie serial for some reason, and no journalism scene has ever felt more real than Lois Lane and Jimmy Olsen adorably stifling laughter while they get yelled at by their editor on the phone

It’s December, high time to start getting ready for the Second Coming! Preferably with a new copy of the Good Omens graphic novel and some of the long-awaited Kickstarter goodies from @goodomenshq.bsky.social, @colleendoran.bsky.social, and @terryandrob.bsky.social
A copy of the Good Omens graphic novel in a dust jacket by Frank Quitely displayed on a A. Z. Fell & Co. bookshop tote with two of the loot pack prints depicting the Tree of Life and Adam the Antichrist.
