After this panel, I went to speak to Simonson & told her how much my youngest loves Power Pack. She has a genetic disorder & reading was among many things she struggle with. But PP was the first thing she got excited to read & she still loves them. Even took a PP book to the hospital last month. 1/2

Three Power Pack posters signed by Simonson & June Brigman.

Aesop's The Cock and the Jewel. Ink and gouache on Fabriano Medioevalis, 132 x 85 mm.

'A Cock, scratching the ground for something to eat, turned up a Jewel that had by chance been dropped there. “Ho!” said he, “a fine thing you are, no doubt, and, had your owner found you, great would his joy have been. But for me, give me a single grain of corn before all the jewels in the world.” '

Aesop’s Fables, translated by V.S. Vernon Jones (1912)

Silhouette illustration in black ink of a rooster looking upon a jewel glittering in the grass. The rooster's comb and wattle are painted in red gouache.

GOOD NEWS! Researchers have discovered a new antibiotic, known as manikomycin, that may be a bulwark in the fight against drug-resistant superbugs. By attacking the ribosome in a never-before-seen way, manikomycin can evade the existing mechanisms pathogens have developed to resist antibiotics.

Jessica Jones' original creators are reuniting: Brian Michael Bendis and Michael Gaydos return for a new Jessica Jones: Alias series with David Mack covers, launching Dec 23 for her 25th anniversary. Not the same book as Alias: Red Band. redreactions.com/articles/jes...

ÉMIGRÉ (2006) Acrylic on Panel - 12” x 12” A study done at the time I painted END OF NATURE VII, later finished to become a new small painting in its own right. #art

The viewer is drawn into a low angle view from the underside of a wide crescent of trees. Bare trunks bathed in golden light lean toward an unseen sun setting low off-panel to the left. The play of light on bark illuminates rich texture, defined in detail by soft shadow. Thinning branches rise and spread like the delta of a river to support flat treetops that stand dark green against clear azure sky. Blending among the upper branches, a female holds a suitcase, clasping it by the handle with both hands. Pensively she stares off, posed as if waiting for a ride. The line of her eyes extends from nearby branches to an inward facing sliver of chalky moon. On her back flare wings that seem constructed rather than natural. Secured with leather straps crossing her chest, the wings flare out revealing a webbing of wooden supports underneath to lend structure.

Just got an email from Zoop about this, and I unironically love having my own work marketed to me. They're right. I am the perfect audience for this. It was a privilege to adapt Cassandra's astonishing book, and artist Mariano Benitez-Chapo did an amazing job.

PEEKABOO FUZZIES (1983) Acrylic on Watercolor Board - 16” x 22” The Fuzzy Sapiens created by H. Beam Piper first appeared in the early 1960's and were a welcome contrast to the menacing aliens that seemed to dominate science fiction of the day. #art #booksky 🪐📚

A pair of adorable furry creatures poke their heads out from the cover of dense tropical vegetation. Their huge eyes are strikingly green, cat-like and glossy so that the treetops reflect in the light. Their noses lie long, wide, and flat. Their mouths aren't pronounced like an ape, but thin lips and the slit of their mouths does seem ape-like. Long tufts of light brown hair sweep outward around the eyes like a flaring mane, giving their faces a disproportionately wide countenance. Hair over the pate is smoothed back of their heads. Cat-like ears—soft rounded triangles—are set above and just outside their big eyes. One thick-fingered paw, lacking claws or nails of any sort, extends as if pushing the alien foliage aside.

At NYCC, I will have these cute, wee Princess Donut 4"x4" mini prints available FOR FREE (while supplies last) at my table in AA (A01). Again, they are free but you DO have to lie to me that you will read my webcomic at the QR code printed on the back. (print won't have my social media watermark!)

It’s not that easy and it wouldn’t be a good fit for me. As I have no car or house payment, any major move would likely not improve my circumstances. Soon I will qualify for government insurance in the USA which will substantially decrease my health care payments. I just need to be patient.

It's much harder to get there for an American than you might imagine. We can't just cross the border and set up shop, especially if self employed. And we don't get benefits except under certain circumstances.

I can't recall the art director's name, but he did a thumbnail idea doodle for this piece. That's unusual in my experience, but I really appreciated his good idea.

Happy Batman Day! I don't draw Batman(almost ever) but I did do this illustration for the Hero Initiative a few years back and I still love it!

Black and white drawing of a cartoony Batman looking awkward and jealous as Catwoman lounges happily in a pile of different big cats/housecats.

I am sooooo happy I found @colleendoran.bsky.social on BlueSky. I got to watch her draw for a minute at Phoenix FanFusion and she’s comic book royalty. If you ever get a chance to meet her or buy her work I highly recommend you make it happen.
