Hello new chums!
We’re Brandt&Stein, and we make comics. Marvel, DC, Image, BOOM!, Dynamite and plenty of others. We like character acting, violence, silliness, and never drawing the same way twice. Currently working on a bunch of things we absolutely cannot talk about

I've taught art for many years and always welcome questions, given that I have the time/bandwidth to answer 🙂
Share your knowledge if/when you can. Teaching other people how to do what you do doesn’t lessen your art - it just means more and better art for everyone.
I appreciate when people are willing to tell me about their brushes, how they study, etc… I want to put that back out into the world.

Y’all probably know by this point, but just in case you don’t: every weekend my DMs are open to every new and aspiring comics creator to talk writing, art or the industry. No question too small!

Lauren is one of the first and best people I’ve worked with in comics and hiring her for your organization would be a smart move.
Yesterday was my last day with Mad Cave Studios. I'm so grateful for the opportunities the last 3.5 years have brought me and the books these amazing creators produced during that time. I would really love to keep in touch and am open to new editorial roles. 💖

The thing I keep coming back to with Pacific Rim is the brutally efficient characterisation. So much hinted at, so little actually done, but every character feels full and rich. Each one given exactly the right amount of scaffolding for you to flesh them out fully yourself without even realising

This is DEFCON 1 priority, y'all. Call your senators, reps, call your friends and tell them to call their senators and reps about this. Call your grandma and tell her to call her senators and reps about this.
What we have here will be *gone* if these bills pass.

My dad abhors any negative comments about immigrants. Asked him recently why he’s so strong on it: ‘Because we’re always happy to take the rich and clever ones. Which means it’s not about disliking immigrants. It’s about disliking the poor and vulnerable. And that’s a bad human instinct.’

All media mergers end up hurting writers, actors, directors, and everyone else who works in the industry. Executives, assistants, caterers, teamsters, everyone. Fewer companies means fewer jobs, period.

For any of you artists out there who are at a loss with the way things are going right now, just remember Mr. Rogers' words of wisdom.
I think, more than ever, these words from Mr. Rogers hold as true as the day he spoke them.
