Just got a chance to see The Wild Robot, and wow, what a beautiful movie. A few beats were easily seen coming, but the message was loud and clear from the start. It is a movie that I think sits perfectly right next to Wall-E in trying to give us yet another warning of the future.

There are few worse feelings as a comic creator and reader than buying a book that looks awesome only to find out after that the creator is problematic. Now the mostly unread book just sits on my shelf. At least I supported my LCS…?

Some art from one of my two creator-owned projects going on right now; Rune. This one is a MG graphic novel that I'm currently, and exhaustively, pitching to anyone who will listen.

I feel like sharing art these days is like shouting into a void. But I know it isn't that no one cares, it's that there are more important things going on right now that we need to care about more. So if you need an art break today, here's more art for Rune's story (which I'm almost done writing).

Few things are more exhausting in an art career than finding an agent. It isn't anyone's fault either. Agents are swamped. Applying for consideration is like applying for jobs in most industries these days; you spend a lot of time on cover letters, then wait a long time, all for a "no."

This is true. There isn’t even anyone at Marvel or DC who can blacklist you from the industry.
If a small publisher owes you money and aren’t paying, though, the last thing they want you to do is tell everyone. You have more power over them than they do over you.

Younger comics creators, you need to know this: if a small indy publisher makes you think you can be "blacklisted from the industry" for requesting monies owed you, they're lying, full-stop. They don't have that kind of power. In fact, I'm hard-pressed to think of anyone who does. Fight back.

Spending my day writing my all-ages graphic novel, Rune's Valor. It's been a long time coming, but there's never been a better time. It finally feels like all the pieces of the puzzle are in place; like the story need to stew until just the right moment. And that's right now.
