Ha! He ain't as sexy as the god, though.

Chad Bilyeu @chadbily.eu · 18/06/2026

I've been quiet but busy. Iva Spasojević and myself are landing this plane, which is #TheReUp202. She is doing an utterly amazing job on the art. Product ths good takes time. Be patient. The entire 400-page saga will be coming this winter. It is sui generis in comics, autobio, and art in general.

I was most impressed by the Japanese cleaning up after themselves, which is something that Dutch people don't even do in Burger King.

Very nostalgic about my art at the minute for some reason. Anyway here’s the A1 size art I did in 2023 for an Exhibition in the big Library in Amsterdam. It was proper fancy and expertly curated by @chadbily.eu it was an excuse to have 2 days in the city and meet nice folks at Henks and elsewhere

Friendly reminder… As I am a former hustler (who survived the game), I let folks try before they buy. For anyone who is interested, check out the Ignatz-nominated first chapter of #TheReUp202 for free… Written by me, illustrated by Juliette de WIt. payhip.com/b/mFJ9O

Chad Bilyeu here. I got two critically acclaimed autobio series going: #CHADinAMSTERDAM and #TheReUp202. They're unlike any other comic in the game. The Re-Up was nominated for two Ignatz Awards last year. If you're into something a bit different, get at me… chadbily.eu & store.chadbily.eu

2025 was the year I realized that I'm destined to be the Abel Ferrara of comics (minus the crack addiction). I'm cool with that. youtu.be/bt94pENFmjc?...

Hey Peter. I saw the article. Thanks so much. Truly appreciated. My only note is that I'm not an expat. If I ever make a second of volume of CiA, I'll address this issue. Be well!

Today is the birthday of cartoonist Morrie Turner (Dec. 11, 1923–Jan. 25, 2014). A WWII veteran & mechanic for the Tuskegee Airman, he created the comic strip Wee Pals, the first with an integrated cast. It ran from 1965-2014, and was adapted into an animated series (Kid Power) by ABC in 1972. 1/2

I mean, I could quite help you out with this. Most Dutch artists that you'd be looking for are not on BlueSky.

I'm American and have been living here for 16 years. I wrote a comic about my life as an American here. It's been recognized over here & over there. I'm also making a new graphic novel with 2 local artists, called THE RE-UP (nominated for 2 Ignatz Awards this year)… chadbily.eu & store.chadbily.eu

Does this include people living in the NL or would one have to have been born here?

Chad Bilyeu @chadbily.eu · 03/12/2025

That sold out first issue, though. Highly coveted!

Chad Bilyeu @chadbily.eu · 03/12/2025

Ah, yes. That sold out #01. Coveted comic there.

Hey folks… There's still time to sign up for my autobio writing class that I'm doing over at @literarycleveland.bsky.social. I'm finalizing the class as we speak, and it will be both edifying and fun! Join us…

Honestly, racism permeates the entire world. You have to find the individuals who eschew such evil.

Chad Bilyeu @chadbily.eu · 24/10/2025

I appreciate the update. I still need to read Sunshine & Roses. I really love that series.

Chad Bilyeu @chadbily.eu · 24/10/2025

Was Stray Bullets ever completed?

Chad Bilyeu @chadbily.eu · 22/10/2025

And although it specifies "comics," these techniques and stratagems can be applied to any medium of storytelling. I'm aiming to make the class really fun. Learn a tip or two and apply them to your writing!

Chad Bilyeu @chadbily.eu · 22/10/2025

Now, although the title of the class specifies "autobiographical," the techniques and stratagems I'm teaching can be applied to any character, actual or imaginary (your character IS your story!).

Hey Karen. Sorry to hear about all of this. I suspect it'll end up being the best thing that ever happened to you. Anyhow, greetings from Amsterdam. You interviewed me ages ago regarding Sinterklaas. Peace and power to you.
