NEW WEBCOMIC DROPPING NEXT YEAR

📢 WEBCOMIC ANNOUNCEMENT! 📢
Very excited to announce Wielder’s Will is coming in June 2026!
Sena and Kei are the champions of their respective rival nations. But as they come to realize they are simply weapons wielded by their countries, can they find something worth fighting for in each other?

I don't know if you need to hear this right now, but you're stronger than you know, more capable than you give yourself credit for, and you're special and unique and indispensable simply because of who you are.
There us no one like you, and that is a gift that benefits all.

When I switched to Buttondown, I lost a number of subscribers. But last night I saw a huge jump.
No more Substack. Say hello to LATINX PRESS on Buttondown! buttondown.com/latinxpress/...
Adios, Substack! Hello, Buttowndown!
I'm moving my newsletter from Substack to Buttondown while reflecting on my inspirations and events.

This is upsetting. Young artists with talent and promise need steady gigs, not to break out as stars overnight but just to stay employed, make progress, and build up work. Similar stuff's happening in other media but there's no future in comics if the market is all superstars all the time—hire Kara!
If anyone wants to hire me for covers you should prob do it soon because I'm fairly certain I'm quitting comics once 2025 rolls around
It's been so long since I got hired for a cover (close to two years 💀) editors pls give me a chance

Speaking of Crash & Troy, this variant was the one Paris Alleyne did. Paris is so fucking awesome. He drew it and colored it himself. Dude is very talented and very nice.

I honestly think the comic colorist community is the most welcoming and helpful corner of comics. I’ve seen the advice handed out in Discords. The amplifying done when Colorist Jams were around. Recommending each other for gigs when they have enough to share. You are better with them on your side.

Man, shoutout colorists. Love y'all to death and appreciate all the time and work you do. Also anyone who says colorists names on covers don't sell books are tripping too because I see Tamra Bonvillain's name and I'm throwing cash.

I sleep 8 hours (7 at night, with an hour nap midday) and take an hour walk in the woods/country each morning, and reserve evenings for family, but I still (happily) work from about 6am to 7pm (excluding nap) every day that I ain't traveling. Long hours and good living ain't mutually exclusive.
It is once again time to reflect on the wisdom of legendary manga artist Shigeru Mizuki, who rejected the grind, slept at least 8 hours a day, and happily lived to be 93.

It's a very fortunate position to be in to work in comics and make a living. It's true you often have to put in absurd hours at times, especially when you're starting out for little money. After making it where I am, my goal has only ever been to carve back more time to live my life.
