Take a break from being depressed that everything you love is being destroyed by slop for a moment and let me tell you about the beautiful symbiotic relationship between graffiti writers, train yard workers, and model train enthusiasts.

I just rolled off a short gig at Titmouse, and am once again looking for work! I have over 6yrs of professional experience, & can hit the ground running as a revisionist or board artist. Past credits include Craig of the Creek, Apple & Onion, Sonic the Hedgehog 4, & more! www.HannahLeeStockdale.com

somewhat motivated by everyone’s response to Dolly and Tim Curry passing to remark: if you were moved by them be what moves you. Be kind, generous, make weird fucking art, help people, sing bawdy songs and do drag

Avoided spoilers, didn’t watch the leak, and I sure ain’t getting Paramount + so I’m very grateful TAG put out the rsvps for us to see Avatar Aang in the theater where it belongs. Shit was goodt. A beautiful work of art. I feel like this is what I wanted see since the show ended 18 years ago

After polling folks her and irl, I did a combo of the two favs! Here’s a look at how the physical cover is going. Issue 2 is rolling out on our website phoenixbladecomic.com and substack.com/@phoenixblad... UPDATES EVERY FIRST OF THE MONTH!

Cover of Phoenix Blade Issue 2, with the main character in a lizard clown suit holding a sword in an aggressive manner at the viewer with flames behind

Back cover with sister Rabyn and Ren partying/dancing, tossing a bottle of alcohol between them. And description of the book reads: With the disappearance of the legendary Phoenix, the sun shines over the world no more… especially Rabyn’s world. Part-time circus clown, full-time nuisance, Rabyn yearns to feel as if her life matters, like her sister, Ren - the biggest star in the circus. Criminally underpaid, Rabyn and Ren down have enough money to make it in the cold-blooded land of Gondwana on their own. With no savings, they may have to return home to their crazy mother. Rabyn would do anything to keep that from going back, even if it means stealing from their reptilian ringmaster, Ivy. However, it doesn’t take long for Ivy to realize her money is missing, and for Rabyn to find herself launched into a mission she is entirely unprepared for as she learns the hard way what kind of person her boss really is.

Closer view of front cover. Main character in lizard clown suit holding a sword aggressively at the viewer with flames behind. Title: Phoenix Bald, Issue 2, by Najja Porter and Dashawn Mahone

My truest advice: luck is a much bigger factor than anyone cares to admit. Luck favours the prepared, *to an extent!* But not completely. You absolutely cannot take it personally. Take your lumps, cheer for your friends, and keep going.

Love this from Guillermo del Toro

“Be kind, be involved, believe in your art,” he said. “At a time when people tell you art is not important, that is always the prelude to fascism. When they tell you it doesn’t matter, when they tell you a fucking app can do art you say, if it’s that important, why the fuck do they want it so bad? The answer is because they think they can debase everything that makes us a little better, a little more human. And that, in my book, and in my life, includes monsters.”

They say “But you LIKED this art when you didn’t know it was AI!” like it’s some kind of gotcha. We liked the original artist upon whose stolen work the machine was trained. Kindly point us in their direction.

Indie comics ain't easy. Working very hard to make something as well as you possibly can that you know only a few people outside of yourself care about can be quite lonely, and often feels almost like a folly. Please let indie creators know you enjoy their work, it really helps.
