I'm going to do some posts about what a colorists actually does. I see a lot of reviews that praise the beautiful rendering of the line artist & the color choices of the flatters. So I would just like to clear up what a colorist does.

Oh hey! I colored this and totally forgot to post (oops, I blame grad school)! I LOVED working on this book and it's always a joy to see something released into the world. 💖 (Also it was an excellent excuse to take a tour of the Lizzie Borden house "for reference" 😅)

If anyone is looking for a colorist to join their team in this, I'd be down for carving out time for this! Especially interested in some limited palette stuff. 🎨 pocketsizedmusings.portfolio.site

Today I was laid off from Dark Horse Comics. While devastating news, I'm so proud of what I helped make there and am grateful to have worked alongside such amazing coworkers and creators. I'm not quitting comics yet, so if you or someone you know needs a savvy editor please reach out.

EXACTLY THIS. Networking is about making friends, to have friends. Not about pitching and angling and flitting between "the hot groups" in search of work. If you are in it just to do that everyone will notice, and everyone will stay away from you.
