Things are hard right now in general, but Mondays continue to be particularly hard for me. To counter act that, I wanted to give a quick shout out to a few of the homies.
Gonna do something like this regularly, but I haven’t figured out the format/if it will be it’s own thing or part of the longer posts. Thanks for your patience while I learn my way around the platform!
Working on front loading some longer posts, but here’s some cool stuff in the meantime:
First up, I wanted to give a quick shout out to Liana Kangas, whose hard work is paying off in the form of a variety of cool ass projects. Liana is an amazing artist and writer, who is working on cool creator-owned stuff and licensed stuff too.
Check out some of Liana’s stuff:
Trve Kult (a book about life, heists, and burgers - like if the Cohen Brothers made comics)
Joan Jett & The Blackhearts anthology (20 vivid stories inspired by some of the best songs in rock history)
Also wanted to give a shout out to the homie Jamie Jones, who has a kickstarter going right now.
I’ve had the pleasure of working with Jamie on multiple projects (and hope to again), but right now he is spending his energies making dope creator-owned comics on his own.
Check out THE BABOON: SKULL OF A KING!
Also, I have a website (definitelyvita.com) that has a bunch of links to my work as well as a Comics Industry Resource page that I am building up to help folks newer to the industry.
I hope this week treats you kindly, and that y’all have the chance to do at least one thing that brings you joy.
That last part is important - no matter how busy you are, everyone deserves happiness, so take some time to do or watch or eat or listen to something that makes you smile.
[Never goodbye, always catch you later.]
