Hi #PortfolioDay! I write and edit comics. I've written for anthologies and edited successful Kickstarter comics. I've also worked with Image, Fantagraphics, Vault, Fugitive Poems, Marvel, Second Rocket, and Negative Space.

I ❤️ comics!

Cover for Faster Than Light: Futuristic Tales of Family edited by Sarah Cooke, a LKC anthology. The logo "Faster Than Light" flies over outer space in green with blue highlights and a white background that's peppered with blue dots. Bold star shapes surround the logo. Below the logo are 7 portraits of different alien families, encircled by white bubble borders with blue highlights behind them. Cover by Dom Monette and logo by Tim Daniel of Second Rocket Comics. Containment Breach, Fugitive Poems Volume 04: Monsters, Beasts, and Bastards. A purple-skinned woman with long black flowing hair flies through the air as her draping white dress swirls in the wind. She has long red finger nails, which match her outfit's belt and sleeve hole edges. Her dress is a deep v-neck, showing a small amount of cleavage, and her dress has a slit that shows her thigh. She looks like she's beckoning you to read the book. Cover of Dead Dreams: The Lucid Chronicles #1 by Matter, Ogden, Downie, Ayres, Head, Wills. A Janus-like silhouette of the main characters, the dark haired Mexican-Irish Piña Axletree faces left as her doppelgänger the Matron faces upside down and right. The both hold bottles that have seductive odors coming out of them. Surrounding the top of the cover are green leaves and the bottom of the cover is Victorian-esque moulding. Cover by Dailen Ogden. Martial Law preview page by Christian DiBari, Brittany Matter, Hassan Otsmane-Elhaou, and Simon Gough. Panel 1 is looking down from the top of skyscrapers with lights from the roads below. A black drone flies in between the buildings and the lettering says: "The world's population lives in high rises. Building up beats building out." Panel 2 shows people behind skyscraper windows who are all dancing, some with robots as a man kisses another man in a loving, passionate embrace. One person with a hat and coat huddles with his arms around himself, close to the window. The right side of the window shows a black woman with a mohawk who is getting scanned by the drone outside, which is seen in the window's reflection. She holds the hand of a robot with a human face. She wars a pink bolero with a high collar and underneath, a blue corset and topped with a black fishnet over the chest. She also wears suspenders and a black skirt with blue leggings. Behind them is a hooded figure with red eyes who looks as if he's trying to escape the scan.

If anyone wants them for this Saturday October 18 #NoKings protests, these elements from my comic on Due Process are all available on my site for downloading/printing, sharing in whatever form folks want. Be Loud for Democracy!
spinweaveandcut.com/due-process/
A small comics panel, with a drawing of a King ace of spaces playing card drawn in the style of traditional playing cards, but with the features of King George III, and the upper portion resembles Trump. Excerpts from the Declaration of Independence are written small around the card. Each of these phrases refers specifically to the injustices imposed by the King (and connect to this current moment – references to Tariffs, to transporting us overseas…) single image closeup on the face of lady justice, in the background, all dark, human figures, faceless prisoners, seated, packed tightly together, bodies merging into a sea of heads, with each figure’s head another’s back. At top in large letters right above her head, text reads "Due process is not optional" A smaller caption box centered on her face where her blindfold would be reads: "No matter who you are."

We need to push for a federal ban on the use of tear gas on civilians and in civilian areas. It's unacceptable.

Just think about this, they dropped so much tear gas near the ICE center that a school had to close because it had become toxified by the residue and was unsafe for the kids.

A modern day gorgon stares at the viewer. The snakes of her hair form a short bob and she has large snake themed earrings. She wears a light blue tweed jacket. A gorgon flies through space on a crystal platform. She holds a lage staff with a crystal floating over it. A mage looks at the viewer with a smug look. They have an elavorate gold collar with tassels and cape blowing in a wind. A mage sits on a rock as they look into the distance over the landscape at the sky. Above are large beings of light traveling across the night sky through the clouds.

I’ve seen posts claiming this “truth” is evidence of dementia, but IMO that’s not the right frame. This is strategy. Since 2021, the right has been rewriting history, bending timelines, to connect their grievances (Covid) and conspiracy theories (Jan 6, censorship, etc) to the Biden administration.

The world is full of noise, and it's easy to feel unseen/unnoticed/unappreciated.

Your art, your voices, and your stories are needed, but not everyone knows your name.

Make art that fills your heart.

Be loud enough to be heard.

Move them with your stories.

And keep going.

So long as the House stays out of session, he’ll keep refusing to seat Rep. Grijalva—the 218th vote on the Epstein files discharge petition. See how desperate they are?
Tweet from Aaron Rupar: “Mike Johnson ignores a question about when he’ll swear in Rep.-elect Grijalva and walks away.” Attached image shows a C-SPAN split-screen of the U.S. Senate and House chambers. Text on the left reads: “U.S. Senate – Waiting for a Senator to Speak. Today: Votes Possible on Gov’t Funding Packages.” The right side caption reads: “U.S. Capitol – House Speaker Mike Johnson Remarks on Day 7 of Gov’t Shutdown.”
