The first Rose City Comic Con was my first time tabling at a con. Thinking that I won't be able to do it anymore absolutely breaks my heart.
All set up for Rose City Comic Con! Come visit us at J-48 for our LAST RCCC! Buy all the prints which will help us with our international move to Greece! @valentinebarker.com

Me: "Oh wow! Yes, but I've never really done a superher--"

Check out the talented members of my studio, Helioscope! Last I heard, @helioscopepdx.bsky.social is the largest comic book studio in North America? You've probably read a comic or seen an illustration by at least one of us at some point, online or off.

I'm gonna be at Gallery Erato in Seattle tomorrow! I'll be selling paintings, some drawings, prints, and general cheer.

Just kidding! The cheer is free, but if you're in the area come by between 3pm & 7pm for your cheer and greetings! And art. Don't forget the art!

Talent by itself is worth little. Talent is just a compulsion to do a thing, and so a person gets a temporary leg up on the other kids. Without targeting that talent to develop better skills and actively seeking critique, it can be like replaying a fun tutorial endlessly with no first quest.
Comic creators! What is something you learned further in your career that you wish you knew when you were first starting off?

Some of the development sketches for the Silent Knight's armor, zombie rune, etc., many from before @jeffparker.bsky.social rightly pointed out that wearable helmet would read more clearly :P (Batman/Santa: Silent Knight Returns issue 2 is out today!)
