It might seem chaotic, but my holiday reading journey does have a plan.

Mate, speaking my love language. Those are some mint covers you have. I’m constantly on the lookout.

Bought this at a con on the weekend. Mr Fear + this cover was a no brainer. Conway + Colan on the inside. Just a pure blast of joy.

This morning’s writing/outlining brought into the world with these sounds.

Just saw copies of EVERFROST at @impactcomics.bsky.social so I signed them for their future owners!

Get the sword and snow fi tale from me @sami-kivela.bsky.social @laurenaffe.bsky.social Jim Campbell through Black Mask Studios at Canberra’s best comic shop!

Family bought me end of term gifts to celebrate first term running the English Faculty at my new school. One is a brilliant cover, the other a UK first edition. Love ‘em [books and family, works for them both].

I always felt like @alexcormack.bsky.social helped me create something beautiful and special [and politically relevant] in STAIN THE SEAS SCARLET - but as a one-shot it had limited outreach.

I mean, that cover!

You can buy it here digitally: for $1 ownaindi.com/shop/comics/...

Getting ready to teach a unit on writing about place. Am assembling some examples for lesson activities.

My name is Ryan K Lindsay - I’m an Australian comic writer. I mostly play in spec fic - sci fi and crime and such allow me to comment on the world around me. I’ve won a few awards and sold some copies.
I also run an English Faculty and teach creative writing.

My 2024 reading held some good times. It’s been really mindful to step back into prose reading, honestly.

Here’s a short round up of what I read, too, for those more interested: open.substack.com/pub/ryanklin...

Big year of rewatching Scorsese flicks as my kid watched them for the first time.

Finished reading/listening to THE MAN IN THE GRAY FLANNEL SUIT. Pretty brilliant book, and I couldn’t help but see the connections of man/murderer grappling with the necessity and status of capitalism as some direct line to American Psycho and both then as fascinating insights into their times.

We took home a Silver Ledger Award!
Beyond stoked that a decade of friendship with @louiejoyce.bsky.social just resulted in our comic getting national recognition!

Have started reading THE NICKEL BOYS by Colson Whitehead as my treat for finishing all my marking.
Very strong start.
November 25, 2024 at 9:26 PM
A Fistful of Pain is a comic from @louiejoyce.bsky.social and me. To have this book shortlisted for a Comic Arts Awards of Australia nod means a lot.
I’ll be there this Friday night to celebrate!
Shout out to the other awesome Aussie comics: comicartsaust.com.au/2024-shortli...

Was up in Sydney for the first ever SCAMP comic event. Amazing vibe and people! Came home with a very rad haul of high quality Aussie indie comics.

I’ll be at Oz Comic Con this weekend in Melbourne.

First time back in 6 years. Excited to hang and chat comics with peeps and a good line up of other comic creators.

WITHIN THE KIND RED BUILDING is my biggest ever rpg!

We trundle into the final 36 hours, with 200% funding in sight, and blasting past 150+ backers.

Come join me for a writing game about a sci fi building crawl where you’ll probably create a heavenly way to die!
