I'll be at Lightbox Expo for the first time this year. I'll be talking about my storyboard and comics work with a bunch of other accomplished panelists. It's this Friday at the Pasadena Convention Center. If you're going to be there, please think about stopping by.

Takes a lot to get me out of lettering retirement these days, but it was impossible to say no to the story Dave and @monomythism.bsky.social have cooked up here!
Probably the best thing you’ll read at Thought Bubble this year, unless I pull a comic out my butt in the next few weeks

Interest on this has been "less than ideal" so first person to throw in for a commission to collect at Thought Bubble gets a free copy of this year's new sketchbook
Opening up a commission list for collection @thoughtbubbleuk.bsky.social November 15-16 details in the first pic. Drop an email to secure a spot on the list. Swipe for example commissions. Small amount of slots available for mail out after the show (late Nov-early Dec)
