It might look like I'm just staring at a screen but I'm really mentally working out this page layout.

I promise I'm not just bored.

We're heading into a year of upheaval in business, social media, publishing, and more. But after twenty-five years of self-publishing, Dave and I have learned an important lesson: Embracing Discomfort is crucial to growing as an artist and a businessperson.

Haven’t drawn in almost a month & a half because I’m waiting on glasses to come in. (Had to get the exam first)

Really looking forward to getting back to making comics. Here’s another self portrait. Colored by the amazing @dyemooch.bsky.social

@andrewmaclean.bsky.social Really loved Snarlagon. Had a perfect b-movie feel & the art was gorgeous. Looking forward to the next Head Lopper installment!

I don’t know what to do on this app. I guess post more art?

Here’s a self poo-rtrait.

This is one of the most common mistakes cartoonists make when promoting their work.

(The all-time worst is saying: "support" me on Patreon.)

Spent the entire day working on a page, got mostly done with flats, just to scrap it & pencil it again to look more interesting.

Gonna ink it to close out the day, but coloring will have to wait because tomorrow I work on my 9yo daughter’s comic, The Amelia Apocalypse.

I want to get this good at coloring/painting. I’m learning to paint a little each week. Goals. (By John Loren)

Just finished some after lunch reading. Such an endearing & funny book.

My kids got it for me for Christmas & I love it.
