K. Briggs @kbriggs.bsky.social · Nov 14
A re-introduction for new folks on Bluesky: I'm Briggs, they/she, I make comics and art. My latest book Sycamore is a collection of all my short comics, available from @thirdbearpress.bsky.social or direct from me. I've also done a full text adaptation of Macbeth with @averyhill.bsky.social
Lady Macbeth comforts a bloodied Macbeth, right after he murdered Duncan A collage featuring a starry sky, vintage drawings of trees, real flower petals, and drawings of sprouts A layered drawing of a figure wearing a red deer skull, with the text "have I found the words yet? Or still just pictures and stories" The High Priestess tarot card with the faces of three women representing Athena, Mami Wata, and Kali

Some pages freed from behind their paywall. This Electra project continues to evolve, and while I really like these images, this isn't her final form!
A collaged page of comics. The text reads "When I started this project, my father was alive. It was a memoir about growing up and surviving a terrible mother, set against an ancient Greek play about children killing their terrible mother, until I was ready to cut her off and thereby “kill” her. Psychologically, of course. But now he's gone. My “good” parent was complicated, our relationship was loving but complex. Before he died my father had made the transition from Idol to Human Being in my eyes. I'm grateful for that, that I got to see him and recognize him as both capable of harm and full of love. I wrote a whole draft, had a complete plan. I'm starting over." A collaged page of comics. The text reads "A brief summary of Electra: a story about the tension between Justice and Taboo, a tale of family dysfunction with few survivors. It starts off-stage and over a decade ago, with Helen of Troy... Helen and Clytemnestra are sisters, their brothers Castor and Pollux are the deified Gemini Twins. Helen was married to Menelaus, her sister Clytemnestra was married to his brother Agamemnon. When Helen ran off to Troy, Agamemnon was put in charge of the military force that would siege the city until they brought her back. Except they couldn't get out of port. The winds were bad, nonexistent. So Agamemnon tricked his wife into bringing their daughter Iphigenia to their military encampment on the shore. Where his own child was sacrificed. A favorable breeze, at last. Ten years later, Agamemnon returns triumphant. And Clytemnestra promptly kills him in the bath, some say with an ax, for murdering their daughter. Justice served and sin committed. They have other children, and their son Orestes is now honor-bound to avenge the death of this father. By committing the ultimate act of horror and taboo – killing his mother. But Clytemnestra has a new husband, Aegisthus. Together they move to prevent the revenge-killing and Orestes taking his rightful place on the throne. Orestes is banished to live with his “friend” Pylades. And for good measure his other sister Electra is shipped off to the countryside and married to a poor but honorable peasant. No offspring of hers will be able to raise and army against Aegisthus and Clytemnestra."

Traffic into Philly is fun, because if I leave my house at 3:45pm it takes an hour and 15 minutes but if I leave at 4pm it takes two hours.

Reject modernity (nihilism)
Embrace tradition (being in your community, doing whatever’s within your power to make things a bit less shit)
Two tables full of snacks, food, toiletries, drinks, Narcan, and art supplies. One table has a banner that says “Solidarity Not Charity”, the other table has a banner that says “Food Not Bombs Montco”

A short comic about Dad.
A grid with 8 panels and a spider drawn in pencil over a photo of the door to my Dad's woodshop. The text reads:"My father liked the number 8. Last digit of his birth year. In numerology, a mountain, a realist, an achiever. SAcred and balanced and infinite. Foundation of the Universe. He was a pillar of mine, at least." A grid of 8 panels over a photo of a tiny spider on an apple, with a spiderweb dawn in pencil. The text reads: "The night he died I began seeing spiders everywhere. I am weaving a future without you, I am spinning the tale of your life. Over and over. Circling outward from the crushing intersection of your loss. Repairing. Creating."

COMMISSIONS OPEN!
Waiting on some invoices so I’m opening commissions for the next few days. I’ll draw anything as long as it’s morally defensible. If you’re thinking you might get a portrait for Christmas then you might want to get in early before I get too busy. DMs open.

Recent additions to the Care Bear Sketchbook

True North Bear by @zeekayart.bsky.social

Work of Heart Bear by @kbriggs.bsky.social
The image features a hand-drawn cartoon bear, resembling a Care Bear, with a skeptical expression. Surrounding the bear are handwritten notes discussing the financial troubles of a company associated with an adult-oriented animated movie that affected its budget. A black and white sketch of a bear with a heart motif on its side. The heart has small hearts within it and an arrow piercing through. The artist's signature and date are at the bottom right.
