This mentality bothers me so much. I see it as the other side of the "true art requires and excuses emotional maladjustment" coin. Art can be challenging to make. It can dredge up pain. At the end of the day though, it's a celebration of living. It doesn't have to hurt.
In 2 weeks, Andy and I will at Cape & Cowl Comics in Oakland, signing Cosmic Cadets! Come say hi and check out our all-ages sci-fi adventure from Top Shelf and IDW! 10/26 from 1-3PM!
Little known fact, T.S. Eliot's full name was Rules Suck Eliot (the T is invisible)
This is in my timeline right above another friend making a J Alfred Prufrock joke. If T.S. Eliot can rhyme window-panes with window-panes and window-panes, then I think we can all do whatever the hell we want.
This is my favorite part of the process. It's detailed enough that I can start to get a real sense of the characters. I can now see what this book will be about. But I can also still (just barely!) hold the shape of the whole thing in my mind all at the once. #writing#outlining
FYI: if you're friends with an author and you see their book at a store on clearance for $3, it is perfectly fine to just not tell them that.
Hey are any colorist pals available TODAY to help out on a pretty big licensed property cover I’m trying to get turned in by the end of day? PAYING GIG, already flatted and colors underway. I just can’t stay awake much longer and would LOVE a hand.
Tagging @prips.bsky.social who is an excellent collaborator and colorist.
Yesterday I bought $50 of comics. Today I have no new comics to read. A tragedy in two acts.
