Happy pride month!!! 🌈 A remake of an old one from 2019! I actually did this more than once as a kid. My poor grandma.

I try to avoid Goodreads cause I don't want to hurt my own feelings but the "Readers also enjoyed" section made me laugh. I love fellow graphic novels Sunshine and a First Time for Everything but the random romance novel is... interesting! #books #graphicnovels

I thought it was a subtle reference to young Walt Disney when he founded the studio in the 1920s, when these hats were common.

I'm sending Absolutely Everything bookmarks to libraries and used Keith Haring stamps and decorated the envelopes and even printed Marcella right on the envelope! ✨

They also never want a reasonable offer

Wait that’s literally me stop it

Just spending the afternoon rounding corners of Absolutely Everything bookmarks. I can’t believe it comes out this fall!

I updated my website main page to feature Absolutely Everything! 📕#books damianimated.com

It feels like authors have to scream out hashtags to turn heads these days and I’m not very good at that

HAPPY WEBCOMIC DAY!! comics can be about ANYTHING and they can be for ANYONE. they can be made by one person or many person. they can come out on a schedule IF YOU WANT. they can be in full color or NOT. they are powerful, weird, individual, intimate, connective, human. webcomics fuckin rule

I've never quite understood which part of Mr. Potato Head his conscience being exists in. In Toy Story 3 it appeared that his removable pieces were the true him, rather than the plastic potato shell. In what piece does he truly exist?

They did ... kind of? There was that line of "1 Saturday Morning" Disney plush dolls that Mattel made of Pepper Ann, Doug and TJ from Recess.

For example, someone once said they didn't like the bullying parts in my book or what the bullies said and... yeah, I didn't like the things they said when I was getting bullied either...

I think about this era of movies based on books a lot.

I was in a town with so many pride flags all over it and now every other town without them feels so unwelcoming :(

Hogarth looks so crispy after his bath. :>

I've been getting more emails about people enjoying Other Boys lately than I did when it just came out?

My grandparents put me in Head Start as a kid and it was one of the first places that got me excited about school and learning. It’s so sad that they’re coming for programs like this that help so many.

Advanced copies of my new book Absolutely Everything!! (And some little sneak peeks!) 👀 #booksky #graphicnovels #comics #ADHD

Damian Alexander @damianimated.bsky.social · 14/04/2025

I see this so much and find it frustrating. I saw a parent ask another author if their book was "challenging" enough. Your kid might just want to... enjoy reading? Because reading comics can just be for fun too!

📞 Have 5 mins this #TakeActionForLibraries Day? Call Congress to protect library funding: ala.org/showup Let's show Congress that the majority of people support our libraries and the many freedoms they provide! #NationalLibraryWeek #DrawnToFreedom #UniteAgainstBookBans

If you have 5 minutes... Call Congress. a March 14 executive order designed to eliminate the Institute of Museum and Library Services would cut our libraries - among the most beloved and trusted of American institutions - off at the knees and block critical information access for millions of Americans, particularly in rural areas. Tell your representatives to fight for IMLS and libraries! bit.ly/CallCongressForLibraries.

Happy #NationalLibraryWeek! For #RightToReadDay I’m reflecting on the safe space libraries offered me growing up. I spent most of my time after school at the library so I know first hand how important it can be for kids that feel out of place. @uabookbans.bsky.social #DrawnToFreedom #comics

I keep accidentally calling Bluesky, Threads, Reddit, etc "Tweeting" and it reminds me of when I was a kid and grownups called Bratz and Disney Princess dolls "Barbie" or all anime was "Pokemon."

Damian Alexander @damianimated.bsky.social · 07/04/2025

Why is it that when I comment on someone's post, compliment them, or am generally nice or friendly I immediately feel embarrassed?

I wish people having, hosting or presenting at events would remember to put the state or country prominently in an accessible area because I always have to dig for it. I'm like, "Ooh sounds fun! Where is it? Where is it? Where is it?" while I scroll around for ten minutes.

All set up at CAMP in Portland, Maine!!!! Come visit my table!! #comics #comicart #CAMPFest2025
