EMERGENCY!

Starting in January, my unemployment benefits will be withheld, so I am opening up emergency editorial commissions.

I've edited comics, visual novels and pitches of every kind for almost a decade now, including Eisner and Xeric-nominated projects!

Email or DM me for inquiries!

back when it was on twitter, i found my agent through DVPit!

It can be pretty hit or miss: i found that posting *early in the day* got the most eyes on it, but sometimes you post and nobody sees it. STILL, it was rewarding to just participate, to get my pitches out there in some small way
DVpit is officially coming back on October 8th, 2025 and we have over 50 agents and editors excited to participate. Follow this account for all announcements and check out dvpit.carrd.co for more details and information!

Be careful what you wish for, especially if you just got dumped by the girl of your dreams and you'll do ANYTHING to get her back.

Check out The Pirate and the Porcelain Girl by me, @neonjawbone.bsky.social and @letteringbear.bsky.social. Out now from S&S: bookshop.org/p/books/the-...

Sending love out to every author who learned that their publisher’s marketing plan for their new book was to have an intern visit a remote woodland in winter, dig a hole in the frozen earth, and whisper their book’s title once, ‘neath the crescent moon.

After the election this week, protecting the freedom to read is *even* more important and *even* more under threat. I want to shout-out @authorsagainstbookbans for continuing to rally our community, thank you for commissioning me to illustrate this banner for Banned Books Week 💙 (1/)

I did some layout analysis for different comics, and then I figured they’d probably be helpful for other people too. It’s really interesting how cartoonists can use different methods to create a sense of subjectivity or wrongness or slow time.

Hey yall, I'm at my wit's end here... Clip Studio (v 2.1.0) has started exporting layered CMYK psds differently than it did last month. Color profiles (FOGRA52_xu), process etc is the same. Happens in batch export from a .cmc file & solo files. Anyone else experience this?
