guy got mad at me for sharing this comic on twitter back in 2017, but it's still one of my favorite exchanges. (he was not kidding, btw.)
my own tweet explaining "so in this Spanish horror comic, Frankenstein's monster knocks out a woman, and I was REALLY worried, but he just wanted to try on her clothes" with screenshot of a guy named Ziv quote-tweeting me to say "This is horrendously disturbing. I am disturbed. Honestly, Priscilla, you need to back up and look at your life and think to yourself, 'Self, is this really the person I want to be?' Posting frankensteinian erotica and shit?'" with my reply "this is exactly the person I want to be" and the followup "actually it's Frankenstein's MONSTER'S Erotica"

I love doing commissions, and I don't take them on very often other than in support of my Trekker campaigns. So hit me up to grab one of the remaining slots. You'll get the commission, plus the best dang sci-fi comic that I know how to make.

The most dangerous game: Superman's Pal Jimmy Olsen vs a gorilla. All the cool stuff of an original page from the Eisner-winning Superman’s Pal Jimmy Olsen series, but Steve Lieber @stevelieberart.bsky.social is actually willing to sell it.

Sketchbook musings of my main character from my in-progress space opera comic, small studies of space ship interiors, and a random person in a very puffy jacket.
Two small color drawings of a sci-fi style control room with a large window looking out over a planet, a young guy with dark hair and a racing jacket waving his arms around, and a woman with a blond bob hair style and very puffy jacket with big leather shoulder pads.

I've built a lucrative career off making comics that tons of people find inscrutable. What's important is the readers who do get it are the ones who stick around. Fixating on audience reaction will just drive you insane.

I've been saying for years you can't protect yourself from the illiterate. many comic artists tell me their anxieties about feeling like they failed if their audience doesn't understand their story and I tell them they'll have an easier time by assuming their audience is failing them by not reading.

Webtoon readers, hear me when I say this and know it comes from a place of love and concern:

sometimes you must slow down and actually read the words written in the speech bubbles. You are going too fast. You are not comprehending the words in the order they are written. You are guessing.

I love this show, but I’m not sure how to feel about the producers’ perception that an HBO audience can handle blood, piss, pus, and shit but an actual Pittsburgh accent is a bridge too far.

Digging through my old files in the process of finishing formatting LAVENDER JACK VOL.2, I found this. I think it was a present for my creative director back when I was doing those WB Games/LEGO side gigs? Anyway, enjoy some alt history Edwardian minifigs

Did this poster many years ago based on a "WW2 Dinosaurs" suggestion (I think) @davidhahn.bsky.social wrote on a whiteboard in @helioscopepdx.bsky.social for our daily sketch exercise. Turned out to be one of the most resonant things I ever made and it started as a loose gag. I still think it's fun.
Dinosaurs drawn in a WW2 poster style. At the top it says "fight the mammals" and beneath them it says "before a small problem becomes a giant threat." At the bottom of the poster are three proto-mammals

Rat Coin Purse, but it's a Dark Souls NPC
Gold and green toned digital sketch of a bulky knight wearing armor of mixed plate mail and large draped chainmail. The head looks like a rat with red eyes, and the back resembles the clasp of a coin purse. Decorative rat legs and tails dangle from the bottom of the armor.

The hardcovers. A typical example of signatures on the endpapers. A sequence from the comic, featuring Jimmy Olsen, his barfing blue spacecat, and his sister Janie Olsen.
