Amy Claire’s Island pages. 

Can you spell "Hiyonhoiagn" phonetically? He is probably my favorite character in prophet, and it's killing me that I have no idea how to pronounce his name.

“Hi Yo Hoy Gan” and BOUX! is like “BOWKS”

I drew a new Warheads thing. I think this one will be a print through Out of Step arts.

You tweeted that your old porn comics didn't offend anyone. I assume you mean that no-one told you they were offended?

These tweets:

Yeahhh, or not on the level of the trans women who I’ve seen talking about the Airboy issue. 

I was thinking of a specific group of women who lived in a house with my older brother – he just had a copy of my Pillow fight book in the living room bookshelf.  

Years later my little sister went on a road trip with a bunch of her friends and for some reasons brought Pillow fight along. That book is a ghost of my past –dressed up as a sexy school girl to- that haunts me. 

hmmmm

It’s midnight and I don’t know if this gay Youngblood fancomic is the best or the worst thing I’ve ever drawn.

Best,

A big interview with the excellent James Stokoe, plus a look at pages of new Orc Stain (full article at link).

‘Why do you think people see affirming work as ‘lighter fare’ or having less truth or meaning? Is it a cultural emphasis or something more?

“Whenever this conversation comes up, I think of this perfect bit Bruce Lee does in Enter the Dragon. “We need emotional content. NOT ANGER!”. Later on, he fights a dude with a claw hand in a mirror maze, and the quote still rings true. As long as the emotions are coming through, and they’re not forced and hollow, it doesn’t matter if the story is filled with fight scenes or poop jokes. You don’t have to go full Titus Andronicus every time to get your feelings across, not every pie is filled with human blood.” ‘

Is there some unspoken industry rule to not shit on other creators? There are a number of horrid artists working throughout the industry, but everyone seems to work their hardest to defend them. I get that art is subjective, but when you have "artists" tra

There’s always people who think it’s not professional to speak on other artists work. Personally,I try to not be toooo publicly mean these days about anyone’s personal work. (but that doesn’t mean not being critical) I used to do a lot more shit talking, but ideally I’d rather just focus on work that I like. 

I don’t really care if Greg Land wants to trace porn for his Marvel work.(who I assume you meant) Working in the industry I would much rather see a mediocre artist succeed who was at least trying hard and good to the people around him– as opposed to someone who can make pretty lines on paper but is a dick to their collaborators or readers. 

I like the idea of there being enough impressive work on comic shelves that you can just skip over work you don’t like.

Anyway. let’s here’s some work I like—

Sam Bosma has a book out called Fantasy Sports that I think is great,

And here’s a panel from Frederik Peeters aama– Reallly nice sci fi
