It's nice to have some upfront pay when It comes to developing this title for release, the cover is getting a redo and I'm inking the interiors and getting everything ready for color. After it's all done and released I get to talk more about stuff huzzah! 👻 #horror #art #comics #comicsky #bodyhorror

So, Red Creek.

I dug up the original 2020 Red Creek ashcan.

I finished it right before lockdown and ended up overthinking it for years. Reading it now… it’s rough, but I actually did a good job.

So I've uploaded it Free/pay-what-you-want on @itch.io 👇

I got a lot of great advice, both business and writing wise, from creators and friends at the con this weekend.

One piece of writing advice that instantly stuck with me was from Mark Russell: “Be the A+ version of yourself instead of a D- version of someone else.”

Thanks @manruss.bsky.social !
