I was just asked in an email but to give everyone an idea of my prices...
I digitally color over a scan of the original pencils or inks (inks are preferable for the best results) and then provide a flattened tiff file back for printing, along with a png or jpg for sharing online.

...mmkay, well.
I dropped $100 on an Instagram campaign, just to experiment with our most popular post over there.
I'd previously avoided Meta ads, because of profoundly unimpressive results.

My favorite Spidey stories, Valentines Day edition! Grab your sweetie, some Kleenex and a Delorean doing 88 mph, because we're headed to Feb 14 1995, when in lieu of chocolates & a card, J.M. "Heartstopper" DeMatteis & Mark "Flatline" Bagley killed off Marvel's most beloved senior citizen!

R.I.P., Robert Duvall at the incredible age of 95. I loved him in a lot of films, Bullit, M*A*S*H, THX 1138, The Godfather, Network, Apocalypse Now and many others. And remember--"Charlie don't surf!"

Had reason to refer to this post of mine about the Thing's eyebrow situation, where I call Ben Grimm one of the greatest fictional characters ever...and I totally forgot my "Eat it, Pierre Bezukhov" line. That got a surprised laugh out of me.

Liefeld's Extreme corner of the Image universe pretty much starting out with an Invaders/All-Star Squadrom mash-up out of the gate (down to using the Invaders' battlecry) was a clear sign of the influence of the "retro WW2" superhero comics Roy and Co. put out.

I don't think many cis people realize how much...
1) Blatant transphobia and harassment by the "you have to support Newsom" crowd.
2) UK tearing apart trans rights under a centrist/liberal gov.
3) Blue state govs refusing to enforce trans protections.
Is reshaping how we see liberals and Dems.
