Rhymes with "rakes" or "lakes". No relation to the Star Trek guy. I write and draw lots of stuff.

For graphic novels, especially adult genre fiction, it's incredibly helpful to review it online, talk about it, recommend it to a friend—adult fiction in the graphic novel space is difficult to place, and nothing convinces readers that they'll like a book more than the personal testimonial.
If you like an author's work, the best thing you can do is buy it. The second best thing you can do is ask your local library to buy it. Or, do both!
A reminder that the median book deal for a debut author in the UK is £7000, paid over 12-18 months. (from 2022 Society of Authors report). Some of your favourite writers are struggling. societyofauthors.org/2022/12/06/a....

this Trans Day of Remembrance I'm joining the chorus of trans folks saying that it would be fantastic if you gave us our roses while we're still here. it breaks my heart that we have a whole day to remember our siblings who have passed away. love your trans friends as hard as you can.

11 years since Lee came home and said "I have to show you what I did at work today" and it was Dorian's butt
after i worked in dragon age inquisition, i wanted to make a reel that showed how i made a lot of okay lighting in a very short amount of time. so i just jammed a lot of clips into a 2 minute video
it's just shy of 11 years old now

Dalton Webb was one of the most welcoming and supportive members of Seattle’s comics community, back when I first moved to town. I’m so sad to hear of his passing, and grateful to @tatsgill.bsky.social for this comic.
My old friend Dalton, brilliant illustrator, kindest friend, has died. It’s so sad, I’m so sad, as are so many people. The first thing anyone says, whether they knew him 30 years ago or today, is how kind he was — what an amazing legacy. Lots of love to his family and all his loved ones 💔
