So I had put my spending on hold, but then I saw these pages and this pitch immediately had to back.

Let's get this comic funded!

We've fulfilled 3 campaigns already this year (MAGIC POWDER 6, PUBLIC DEFENDER 1, and MAGIC POWDER Volume 2), so let's fund THE ELF, and fulfill another one!

4 panels from a comic page. The first panel shows a human with the head of a robot, the second panel is the reflexion of the robot, the 3rd shows a room where the human with the robot head is as well as another human character, the last panel shows the face of the human who had a robot head.

Colored drawings mostly of a young woman with pink skin, blue lips, and green hair wearing white shirt with a purple popped collar. Also a couple guys with brown skin and one is wearing a retro-1970s blue hoodie with a yellow, red, and white chevron on the chest. A cyclopian robot, and bust of a young guy with shaggy blond hair.

With @aaronlosty.bsky.social's drawing, that brings me up to an even dozen screen print commissions.
I started this 3 years ago, asking artists I admire to do a 2 colour drawing.
While I'm proud of my comics, I LOVE this project and the art it produces.
Here's a thread of all 12 in reverse order.

Your "dumb little projects" are so important during this harrowing time. Don't forget that. Your creativity has value, for yourself and for the world.

I did this same drawing too at one time :) As a "reference model" it did a poor job letting anyone know what the heck was going on at the top of his head.. I had to make up stuff for the longest time since the drawings in the comic books at the time were just as vague 🀣

It's what really made X-Men stand apart from other comics. So many times I remember wishing Cap or the Avengers characters had moments like this in their books.

I hated it at first, it took me drawing about 10 sequential pages (over a few months) for me to fully get used to it. It was rough at first.. my lines were shaky, my art looked worse than it did on paper.. but I needed to be able to draw digitally so I persevered. Really glad I did too!

Re: Qs on signing the Rat Queens omnibus. I was not told my work would be included. I do not agree with it being included because the creator made it known yrs ago he would never let my art be reprinted because he didn't want me to be paid. I confronted him about this while I was homeless. Fuck RQ.

In his 2020 article, β€œFacing the Monsters,” David McConeghy argues that Hellboy draws from the works of HP Lovecraft in portraying a character who must navigate the eternal conflict between science and religion, ultimately rejecting both in the name of humanity. #hellboy 1/6

4 artists & 3 scientists created a series of posters to communicate some of the science issues most important to us.

These posters are made to be shared!

We're selling them in 4-packs, so YOU can share them outside of the science circles where we hang out online.
