Okay. So here's what I know - I lost my day job. - I hated my day job. - I liked having a lot of money and health insurance. - But a lot of money never made me happier, I just owned more stuff. - I do still need health insurance. - I'm really fucking good at lettering comic books.

Oh I definitely posted one of those, so probably, yes. I feel your pain.

Being able to go into a shop and get these really made me day.

Photo of the Sgt. Rock Deluxe Edition and a reprint of the Joe Kubert DC Special. Also a Cooperstown coffee mug that's at least 5 hours cold, don't mind that.

Took out a digital drawing from a few years ago that I wasn't quite happy with to see if re-working and doing it traditionally might help. Sorry, not Batman. GREEN ARROW and BLACK CANARY.

Drawing of Green Arrow and Black Canary, yes, the DC Comics characters. By Doc Shaner. Green Arrow is rendered in shades of green and Black Canary is rendered in shades of bl- yellow. Yellow. Yes.

I have completely lost track of what I have and have not posted over here, so have another Batman-

The Batman runs up a building in his red and yellow suit, showing the viewer his trademark grin.

When Abdul El-Sayed was here a few months ago speaking in Grand Rapids I accidentally made him shake my thumb instead of my whole hand and when we made eye contact it seemed like he (correctly) didn't know what to make of it so I just shrugged like Larry David.

Very disheartening to see more and more Dem politicians lean into anti trans positions and when trans people say "man, this sucks" they get swarmed by people yelling at them for handing elections to the GOP. Wish they had that energy for the politicians.

I've drawn John professionally only twice, as far as I can remember. One was for a fridge magnet, the other time he was dead. It's a living amirite

I finally got tested for ADHD last week and when asked about the difference between two images I got laser focused on the typeface and for all I know I might still be there talking about serifs.

Accidental typographical confluence.

Two books sitting on script, on my desk. "The 99% Invisible City: A Field Guide" by Mars, Kohlstedt, and "Absolute Batman Year One" by Miller, Mazzucchelli, and Lewis. Then a bunch of out of focus nonsense around it, don't worry about it.

Art tip: don't share everything you draw. Draw things you never intend to show anyone. Your brain needs time to just exist in a state that's not about performing for strangers. This used to be the normal way to exist before social media poisoned us.

I don't know what it was but for the record I always welcome being mistaken for something by Chris.

If it was something just for me? That I didn't have to worry about somebody else reading? It would probably be way more thumbnails with a little bit of dialogue written in the margins.

Doc Shaner @docshaner.bsky.social · 11/08/2026

I've been working full script out of necessity, but thankfully working with a co-writer who knows what I mean when I just write down "a cool thing happens and I will make it look as cool as possible" and is able to communicate that to the editor. Otherwise I'd be sunk.

Sitting here judging the names of Gotham's sports teams 👎 when I remember that taken out of historical context what even is a 'red wing' or a 'piston' but I won't let myself go there detroit vs everybody

Making logos for fictional sports teams that'll be covered up and small in the actual book but maybe I'll need them later who knows I am broken

If you strike up a casual conversation with an artist for long enough, check in, see how they're doing, they'll probably share some art with you. We're like folklore creatures that way, all whimsical and shit.

Shout out to beloved geniuses @stephwilliams.bsky.social and @kharyrandolph.bsky.social on the announcement of their VIXEN ONGOING—TELL ME THIS ISN’T THE SICKEST SHIT YOU’VE EVER SEEN

Mari McCabe, the superhero Vixen, a black woman in a yellow and black suit with a high collar and a glowing totem that looks like a fox at her chest. One of her hands has a glowing animal paw encasing it. Behind her are a pair of glowing pink wings and above her head a glowing pink crown floats.
