Took the lil’ goblin to a park yesterday that had these excellent pathways arranged in a labyrinth around a beautiful wetland. He loves to run so this was ideal. I don’t share his face online but I will tell you he’s so cute that almost every person we passed remarked on it. It was a Great day.

This is a deep-sea isopod. Dr. Johanna Weston, a deep-ocean biologist and guest investigator at @whoi.edu, is confident this is Bathyopsurus nybelini, one of her favorite animals. Learn why via the YouTube caption: youtube.com/shorts/DenUj...

NEW ADVICE-FROM-LIEBER LIST! I've posted these tips as a thread before, but I figured it's about time I made it available as a single, shareable image.
MISTAKES I'VE MADE THAT YOU CAN AVOID
Don't be like me.
1. Don't trash your own work when complemented. In that context your self-deprecation is insulting someone else's taste! Just say thanks and change the subject. Maybe credit an influence?
2. As far as your readers are concerned, comics are drawn with a printing press or a monitor. Don't fetishize the original art or the tools you make it. Anything that gets the story told the way it needs to be told is the right tool for the job.
3. Don't use one job to audition for another. It's unfair to your collaborators and a betrayal of the reader to get flashy or sexy or explosive if the moment in the story doesn't call for it.
4. The important storytelling choices on a page can be worked out in thumbnails. Gesture, camera angle, framing, broad arrangement of tones-get this stuff right before you worry about anatomy, lighting, drapery, or facial expressions.
5. Some artists can put down a final inkline with no underdrawing, but that's because they're skilled and experienced enough to do all that underdrawing in their head. You probably aren't. Get your underdrawing right and save the masterstrokes for the masters.
6. What you're feeling while you work doesn't matter. What the audience feels when they read it does. You can be happy and still do a great drawing of someone in agony. You should understand what you're depicting. It's not necessary to experience it in real time at the board.
7. Get a fresh eye on your work. You never know when some accidental juxtaposition is going to completely change your intended meaning.
8. Don't let getting things 100% right keep you from getting things done. It's easy to get bogged down in research or prep sketches. Make a schedule at the start of a project so you know how much time you have. Do the best you can with the time allotted and move on. But...

Vintage-style Gothic artwork featuring a woman in a long white nightgown fleeing past a gnarled, leafless tree under a dark, dramatic sky. White serif text centered at the top of the image reads: "Ask your doctor if running screaming into the savage night might be right for you." A small copyright watermark reading "©ephemera.com" is visible in the bottom right corner.

Found a page I did 15 years ago from a loosely sketched fantasy webcomic I used to do with a friend. I'd draw it out on loose leaf printer paper with very little prep. I thought that would be a selling point for some reason. I forgot I made these guys who had big ferrets as mounts.

It was ten years ago today I figured out what Shocker did with the fabric that was left over after he made his costume.
Panel from Superior Foes of Spider-man, drawn by me, color by Rachelle Rosenberg. Shocker is having a tough conversation with the severed head of Silvio Silvermane. It's in his shitty Brooklyn apartment, in front of a couch upholstered with the same yellow and brown fabric as his shocker costume.

I’m playing the 1st god of war & it is everything I thought it would be: Kratos (in this game) is what happens if Nu-Metal attitude, hot topic aesthetics and Greek mythology were your only ingredients in the hero creation stew. It’s fun but silly. It helps me contextualize 2018 as a revelation.

You can't, and shouldn't seek to, replace public schools or libraries with bookstores. You can't replace a public good with a private business, no matter how well-meaning or well-organized it may be.

When I was first getting work drawing comics I would start my day looking through Joe Kubert comics, his approach to a page is still inspiring. And he understood what a cover was for! This is one of my faves. #JoeKubert100years

Remembering Joe Kubert on his 100th birthday The first drawing I ever hung up in my room was a copy I made of Joe‘s cover for "Justice Inc." Looking at that cover now, it's easy to see why I was enthralled by it. It had a sense of danger that wasn't present in the other comics I was reading.

If you’re in New Hampshire, and you have any interest in making comics, then I highly suggest you talk with Steve about your work. Nobody else in my life has taught me as much about the craft, business and social aspects of comics. Steve is the best.

1/ COVER REVEAL 🧵 I'm thrilled to share the US and UK covers for SLEUTH-HOUND: THE CASE OF THE REAL SHERLOCK HOLMES, the untold story of Dr. Joseph Bell—the Victorian surgeon who inspired Arthur Conan Doyle to create the world's greatest detective. Pre-order here: shorturl.at/fdGnV
1)	The US and UK covers side by side. The US cover (left) features a striking image of Bell, and has a silhouette of Holmes. The font is very ornate, and it looks very “Sherlockian.” The UK cover (right) is striking in its reds, blacks, and whites. It features a silhouette of a poison bottle, and has fingerprints all over the cover.

This Worf/Troi relationship feels like TNG is messing with me. I have seen it many times before and every time it's like they're trying to get me to believe that Miss Piggy should really be with Fozzie Bear.

Found this pitch art that I did for @terryblas.bsky.social from 2020. I didn't remember it until it popped up while looking for another file. I think the pitch was "what if, instead of landing in the midwest, Kal-El's pod landed in Mexico? Terry will know. He'd be a perfect person to write superman.

A digital illustration of a veiled figure sitting atop a steed that is horse-like in silhouette only. it is made of faces, skeletons, plates of armour, and flaps of flesh instead. Hidden in the landscape below them, an armoured knight and 3 robed figures hide tentatively from the rider's eyeless gaze. 

Although the horse-like thing has many eyes. So whatever. They're hiding though.
