Moments before disaster 🥀
Work-in-progress from a comic retelling of the "Beauty and the Beast" fairytale. Three panels: first shows an older man walking through a stylized rose garden. Second panel is a closeup of his hand holding a pocket knife over a dark rose. Third panel shows the hand holding the dark rose and slicing through the stem, severing it from its bush.

Fab opp last week to hear @misterkristoff.bsky.social talk about hot-off-the-press, Empire of the Dawn via @halfpricebooks.bsky.social. Loved seeing a diverse set of fans & author appreciation of each who brought books & stories to share.

Can't wait to crack open this final chapter. ❤️‍🔥 #booksky

"Can I lead you through the dark?"
"There is no darkness, Vincent, when you're with me."

One might be thinking, "What? There was a 1980s Beauty and the Beast TV show? Huh??"
Yes, there was. And it's awesome.

Donald Trump thinks he’s all powerful. It’s up to us to remind him on October 18th that he’s not.

We will show him who really has the power in this country — and we will do it peacefully. nokings.org
