Got my table for ThoughtBubble!

I’ll be at B5 in the Redshirt Hall. Drop by and say hello.

I applied for TB when I thought Osaka SPD would be out by now… unfortunately it isn’t. But I’ll have some art and maybe some scripts at the table.

Email confirming my table as Redshirt Hall - B5

The map of Redshirt Hall with B5 circled.

Been drawing lots in the last week, mostly drawing based on thumbs, but I wanted to do some inking tests of the main characters so here’s a peek at some pencils. #art

Partial view of pencil sketch of character with curly hair and a tight-fitting tank top. She also has an arm band on her right bicep.

Partial view of sketch seen from forehead to just below the collarbone. They are East Asian and have almost shoulder-length hair. Many construction lines can be seen.

**DCAF FUNDRAISER!!!** Our very talented committee members have donated their time for a 5-min portrait fundraiser to help cover the costs of running DCAF in 2026. Prices from €5 (or donate what you can).

How it works below!

An image announcing a 5-min portrait fundraiser for DCAF, with two examples of portraits, both are rendered with black out lines on a white background.

Text reads "Support DCAF and get a custom drawing by one of our talented committee members"

An explanation of the fundraiser reads

"We are committed to keeping costs down for our artists. But our expenses are ever increasing. Your donations will help cover the costs of our venue, tables, insurance, posters, poster artists, workshops and more.

*Plus you get some custom art*

A further description of the fundraiser. Text reads "A 5-min, head and shoulders. Styles and colour will vary." There is another drawing similar to the two in the first image.
Text reads "You will receive an A5 PDF file via email which you can print yourself, and a jpg which you can use to post online (please tag DCAF and your artist).

There was another attack on the Sumud flotilla and RTÉ's coverage is one of those third party articles, no mention of the fact that Tadhg Hickey, an Irish citizen, was on board, still reporting the false claim that the first fire was started by a cigarette butt when there's video evidence of it

I had so much fun drawing this story and just look at @gabcontrerasr.bsky.social wonderful colours! Can't wait for the MADE IN DELCO backers to check it out!

Jimmy Gaspero @jimmygaspero.bsky.social · Aug 27

If you backed MADE IN DELCO, I sent an update out today that “Kevin”, a 10 page comic being added to the anthology as one of the stretch goals, is almost done. It’s off to @bertacious.bsky.social to be lettered, but @jameskillian96.bsky.social & @gabcontrerasr.bsky.social crushed it on art & colors.

A page from the short comic “Kevin” that is part of the Made in Delco anthology. It shows a few people standing near 2 graves in the 1st panel. The 4th panel shows one of the characters triumphantly holding up a roll of toilet paper.
