I just backed THE LAUNDRYMEN Books One & Two on @kickstarter.com Issue 1 made me so jealous when I first read it and @radchenka.bsky.social's hustle is inspiring. Back this book so you can say you knew them when! www.kickstarter.com/projects/rad...

Working on a comic loosely inspired by another historically minded architect, Augustus Pugin. The first arc explores Rochester Castle, but I'd love to take our heroes to Notre Dame or Carcassonne to meet Le-Duc. Here's a sneak peak of page 2 by the talented @xavierdesveaux.bsky.social

Looking forward to this show. I was so surprised when I fist learned about Viollet-le-Duc's idealized and occasionally fantastical architectural restorations. It was the first thing to open my eyes to the complexities and responsibilities of preservation/restoration.

The largest infrastructure projects currently being built in the US appear to be data centers and detention centers. The AI boom has coincided with ICE becoming the most heavily funded government agency. It's hard not to see a connection: This is the architectures of digital fascism

ICE Begins Buying ‘Mega’ Warehouse Detention Centers Across US

Plans for such centers and jails in nearly two dozen communities have sparked protests over suitability, proximity to homes and schools.

January reads. Mostly finishing up the gifted books from the holidays. Not my usual, but each was worth reading.

4 book covers: Kate Atkinson's Case Histories, Gothic Tales from Edgar Allan Poe, The Wild Robot by Peter Brown and A Court of Thorns and Roses by Sarah J. Maas

I've been moving my comic library and trying to weed things out. I couldn't part with these single issues, but having it all together in an omnibus is still pretty tempting. Ambitious superhero storytelling at the grandest scale.

I just backed Made in Delco from @jimmygaspero.bsky.social. Excited to read through such a wide range of genres from one writer. And how could I not support a fellow Delco Jimmy? www.kickstarter.com/projects/mad...

Finished a comic script today. My first full 22-page story. It seemed so daunting after writing shorts but it clicked into place scene by scene. And a last minute breakthrough made it work as a stand-alone, which I love.

This was such a satisfying project, and one in which I realized for the first time how much my whole life had been spent in a manscape, in places where almost everything was named after men.

So impressed by the marketing for this comic. I love seeing more levers being pulled in the Tiny Onion machine. They've built something new and special, and I can't wait to see what else it can do.

Great interview about process. These books are a favorite in our house and this one looks excellent! Can't wait to add it to the shelf of BSC comics. We read the originals too and every comic highlights the genius of Ann M. Martin.

Every time I get new pages from @xavierdesveaux.bsky.social for Relics of Northmore, I have 2 thoughts: 1. I need to delete every piece of dialogue I’ve written so I’m not covering this art. 2. If I can’t do that, i need to be a better writer to live up to this. #comics #makingcomics

Sometimes I worry this sketch from 15 years ago is the best comic I'll ever make.

Two square colored pencil sketches. One of a google maps image with a red pin over the ocean. The other of a red hot air balloon in distress.There is an implied correlation between the two images.

Finally reading Pillars of the Earth. What a story but my god is it brutal. Hard to read sometimes. I think I need to put it down for a while and just read about Gothic cathedrals in Pevsner's Outline of European Architecture.

I'm watching this happen in old neighborhoods outside Philly and it's infuriating. Developers & "flippers" are demolishing smaller character-rich homes and clear-cutting 100-year-old oaks to maximize the allowed buildable area for identical garage-forward monstrosities. slate.com/business/202...

Watched Romulus last night. It’s good! Especially the first half. I’m not a die-hard Alien fan but I liked how it attempted to stitch together the movies even if it was a bit clunky and Force Awakens-y at times. Also really liked the more direct focus on the Space Capitalism stuff. BUT…

Jimmy Stamp @jimmystamp.bsky.social · 21/11/2024

This book is so good. It was the first thing I read by @therightram.bsky.social and I keep coming back to it. It has a real perspective, a propulsive story, and stunning art by @artofsumit.bsky.social that showcases the full potential of a 9-panel grid.

Over the last 2 weeks, I've watched all the Alien movies (except Romulus) for the first time. I enjoyed them immensely and feel incredibly inspired — both by what's in the movies and by what isn't. They're so disconnected, but the worlds are so rich. My current ranking with some thoughts:

Issues 20-25 blow this comic wide open. Darkhawk's wild cosmic origins are revealed and our streetwise teenage hero is suddenly fighting his way through "null space." It's a satisfying reveal, but WAY too much exposition. I wish they would have trickled this information out slowly over more issues.

7 issues in and Darkhawk is so good. An untested superhero learns to use his powers to take down local crooks. 4 issues of street level crime-fighting and family drama that never leaves Queens. Then issue 5 hints at something cosmic... Knowing where this story goes, it's WILD to see how it starts.

DC #Comics geography has always been kind of blurry. Eliot R. Brown told me that in the 80s word around the DC office was Gotham was in New Jersey and Metropolis is Boston. But my personal DC comics geography since I was a kid is a bit different… 🧵

I always wondered how #comicbook creators came up with so many ideas for stories. Only now realizing that creativity is a muscle. The more you use it, the stronger it gets. Since I've been working on three short comics and a prose story simultaneously, new ideas just keep coming...
