Hi, I'm Peter and I draw comics!

I've worked on the Avatar: the Last Airbender comics, written some Dragon Prince graphic novels, and created a few other things too.

A page from a comic pitch I did, showing a character sitting on a sign built onto a massive metal structure. Airships fly through the rain in front of him. Inset in two panels we can see him looking down at a pilot's pin he's holding in his hand.

Actually applied to a storyboard job today. Sent my resume into the Terry Gilliam's Brazil-like bureaucratic void and hoping for the best.

"The primary reason is that Hollywood is making less stuff." THIS. I've seen so many people lazily (xenophobically) claim 'outsource is stealing all the work', but MOST countries are in the same boat rn. Never let the suits skimming more and more off the top convince you a fellow worker is to blame.

Ben Fritz @benfritz.bsky.social · 12d

The most important human story in the entertainment industry right now is the severe downturn in film and TV production in LA and how it's affecting middle-class crew workers. I spoke to dozens of them for this story about the depressed Hollywood economy. www.wsj.com/business/med...

L.A.’s Entertainment Economy Is Looking Like a Disaster Movie

Work is evaporating, businesses are closing, longtime residents are leaving, and Los Angeles’s creative middle class is hanging on by a thread.

(Pages 1 and 2)

For some inexplicable reason, this brilliant 1938 anti-Appeasement cartoon by the great David Low came to mind when I looked at the list of the Mega-Powerful / Hyper-Rich at yesterday’s Windsor Castle nosh up for our superhuman masters.

cancelling Disney+ and Hulu is well and good but it’s not a huge hit on an individual level

but Disney adults? people who spend real money at the parks? you guys can make a dent, call ‘em up and tell them your vacation is postponed until they pull their heads out of their asses

River_Tam @rivertam.bsky.social · 27d

Heard from a friend at Disney+ that there are multiple levels of freakout internally, both from internal dissatisfaction, concerns about subscription cancelations, and of course the big one: concern about a boycott spilling over into parks and cruises.

Maya vs. Evies

concept art depicting a climactic battle in the skies. Maya rides on her gravboard, pursued by the Empty Vessel swarm, using debris from the conflict as a makeshift sword and shield to defend herself. she swerves to dodge an allied resistance fighter, flames bursting from its damaged wing as it careens through the air.

If you run a comic or halloween focused instagram or tiktok I'd really love to get in touch about featuring my books!

(I'm open written interviews as well, but my time is a little too limited for recording podcasts or doing talks at this point, but it doesnt hurt to ask)
