Unhinged ramblings about lettering on social media helps me network with new creative collaborators better than scurrying around cons trying to get folks to take my business card.
After you form those new connections, it is great to introduce yourself to people you've worked with at cons though.

These are the stacks of the most fun book you maybe never heard about: Taara of the Stars! Created entirely by a talented array of Indian creators (plus an Argie myself), this is a book I would've LOVED as a kid. It has SO MANY fun gags per page that you keep finding new stuff each time you reread.

And we knew this. This wasn't speculation. We studied it, we had the talking points. We trained volunteers to explain this to people. It's not a surprise. Rich people don't flee places with good quality of life when we increase the quality of life. They might try to cheat us, but they don't leave.

New Capenna is my favorite plane so this story sounds terribly fun. I hope the Strixhaven novel sells well!
MORE IN THIS SERIES, OR MORE MAGIC?
Both! The sequel, OMENS OF CONSEQUENCE, takes place in New Capenna, and my highline for it is "Magic the Gathering does THE GREAT GATSBY." I wanna write it.
I also wanna revive the Planeswalker line, and write Nahiri and Tyvar novels. So. No chill here.

I get why a lot of non-disabled people want to pretend respiratory illnesses don’t exist, but as we’re coming up on another event I can’t safely attend, I encourage you to just THINK about wearing a mask at events - or at least on the train/ plane there, where there’s probably no reason not to

Decided to join in the lettering stacks with the first four chapters of One Piece vol. 111. Sound effects only, because cobbling together my InDesign and Photoshop files is more work than I'm willing to put into this. Also did it as spreads, because One Piece has a ton of two-page spreads.

This is a great piece with stuff in it that I think about A LOT. Since I was a kid, it was the non-licensed comics that captured my imagination, and that still hasn't changed. They're always my faves.
I think creativity right now is flourishing, if only we can get people to buy the books.

It's a high time for the direct market, but non-licensed comics — i.e. creator-owned + other original comics — are going through a "wildly unpredictable" period.
In this week's feature, I talked to creators about navigating this uncertain time, what's fueling it, and how it's affecting their plans.
