We're tabling our newest comic at the @nashcomicartfest.bsky.social on Saturday, but tonight, we had to visit the @belcourttheatre.bsky.social to see the new restoration of Michael Mann's Manhunter! Amazing theater they have here! Good folks.

I'm going to be doing a character design lecture/workshop at the Nashville Comic Arts Festival on October 3rd; character design as exposition was my thesis in grad school and I'm looking forward to revisiting some old principles and seeing what new ones I've codified. nashcomicsfest.wordpress.com

Less than a month until NCAF in Nashville! My closest city; I can't begin to express how much of an impact having a celebration of comics like this there would've had on young me, and I'm so excited for the impact it WILL have on young others. 1/

Young Shadow & The Watchdogs away games for fall 2026. May have a couple more pop up, but either way I’m happy to be back on the circuit. I will have stacks of all three Young Shadow books, the new sketchbook zine, and hopefully in November a new 60 page self published comic.

I wanna talk about an upcoming event @slicexpo.bsky.social having: a fundraiser for SLICE! SLICE is made possible from generous donors like yourself and regional arts grants. These grants help keep SLICE programming free. But our funding was delayed this year! www.eventbrite.com/e/an-afterno...
