The virtual perimeter advertising software is glitching at the White Caps/Loons game. The broadcast probably should have come with a “flashing lights” warning. 😂@mls.bsky.social

I’m so happy to be able to finally spill that the featured variant cover artist is none other than colorist Chris Sotomayor. He had never illustrated a cover before. He absolutely nailed it! What a privilege to get his "rookie card" out there on a comic I wrote! www.kickstarter.com/projects/gre...

Watched “Greenland” last night and quite enjoyed it. Ironically, the scene that was a reality stretch for me was near the end. They saw those birds and not a single birder among the survivors excitedly yelled out the species ID! 😂 #birder

Hey awesome comic creators/reviewers, My book designer left a spot for a pull quote on the inside front cover of my new conspiracy thriller Vxd. Some "social proof" would be really helpful before I crowdfund the book. If you are interested, hit me up, and I'll pass along the link to the PDF via DM.

A lot of people confuse writing with typing. Writing isn’t typing. It’s the entire process and yes that includes going for a walk or rearranging things in your office.

Writing villains as a comic writer means becoming far too aware of the fragility of modern society. That, and using incognito mode judicially to make sure you don’t accidentally end up on a watch list. 😂

I’m intrigued to see how well this crowdfunding approach works. Has anyone else used Indiegogo for a comic/movie horror project?
