I'll be leaning into a weekly newsletter as social media is less effective delivering info to the the people who want it.
I just sent out one today. I won't be abusing anyone's inbox - just one email a week. If you want to know about projects, art sales, and cool stuff

On Canadian Thanksgiving I'm grateful for the good things in my life, so for this US Thanksgiving I'm expressing a different sort:
I'm grateful I cut my toxic mother & white supremacist brother from my & my son's lives.
That aside, Hoping for the best for my US friends!

Yesterday was my first Moderna vaxx. I'd occasionally get a sore shoulder and fatigue with the Pfizer one, but less so as it went.
Still stupidly tired today with a little arm soreness. 😴😴😴

I've been a Blade of the Immortal fan ever since I first saw the floppy format translations. I got those, the tankubon, then the 3-in-ones, and now I'm buying the deluxe hardcovers.
Rereading it, looking at Samura's multimedia approach gave me an idea for a new technique I want to play with.

Death threats to comics creators on X over a Marvel book?
It's always upsetting, even moreso when it' a friend who's targetted.
It's fine not to like a story, but these so-called fans need to get their heads out of their asses.
