Got new business cards for the first time in like 4 years!

People have been asking for them for around 2 years and I finally got around to making some.

A more eloquently stated version of what I say all the time.

There's any number of little bits of advice, or confidences, that have helped me along my way up the ladder, it only feels right to keep an eye on those coming up behind you and helping where you can.

Matthew Dow Smith @matthewdowsmith.bsky.social · Sep 6

We ALL had help breaking in and staying into comics. Now it's our turn to be that help for other people. Not to benefit ourselves, but to benefit the people we used to be. Help them, guide them, look out for them.

That was the deal then and that should be the deal now.

Can confirm.

As a rule, if you're young, and:
• your storytelling is solid,
• you're constantly demonstrating an intent to improve, and
• you finish projects
older folks will come out of the woodwork to go to bat for you.

I could talk for hours about the informal mentor system that helped me survive in comics for 30 years, but what I really need to say is this --

If you're an established comics creator, part of your responsibility is to help young talent when you can...

The first half of that statement is why we’re friends.

The second half of that statement is the precise type of foolishness our friendship has the power to overcome.

Sorry for the change!

If you're interested shoot me a DM.
Thank you!

Haha. I think the ship has probably sailed on adding anyone else to the show. But yes! I will be there! And I’ll be doing sketches during the show. I MAY take some pre-show commissions, but that’ll be schedule dependent.

I talked it over with my consultant (my wife) and in honor of Klarna functionality being added to Squarespace today, we decided to extend this sale through the 4th.

If you ever wanted a page of mine, not only can you get a good price, right now, but you can pay in installments!

Part of the fun is seeing what's CHANGED on the map. Plus, there's a lot more to that game that I don't want to spoil for you and that you should avoid spoiling, cause there're some great reveal moments that feel like magic.
