Trying to post twice a week, as an exercise in curating good habits.
(Also, because I’ve logged off of twitter for the next few days, but I don’t want to be anti-social!)
The last few weeks have been pretty hard for me, so I imagine it’s been hard for most if not all of y’all. Here are a few things that gave me pops of joy this week.
OPUS: Managed to get a copy of OPUS last week, and I finally had a chance to read it. Surprising no one, it was extremely my jam. Mind bending but painfully human, it hit me right in the heart and guts. Satoshi Kon never missed ever, may he rest in peace.
I MADE A GUMBO! A & I were in a hearty food mood last week. We used this recipe (though of course we ended up modifying it a bunch) and it came out DELICIOUS.
Fiyah Lit Mag is having a convention in a few weeks, and they asked me to be a Guest Of Honor. Got a super dope swag bag in the mail – it absolutely made my day! [Side note, hope to see some of you at FiyahCon 2021! (Don’t worry, it’s all digital.)]
I will forever and always shout out my homies – it’s what I do, and I’m not ashamed.
Here are some cool people/work you should check out!
Danny Lore (the other half of Twin Speakz) is killin’ it all across comics, and as I mentioned before, they recently got to do a dream project – Transformers: Shattered Glass.
But today, I wanted to shout out their first creator owned book, QUEEN OF BAD DREAMS from Vault Comics. There’s no way for me to do it justice in a sentence, so I suggest clicking the link and checking out the preview!
I already mentioned Jordan Clark, but that was in the context of his amazing new podcast (White People Won’t Save You). Did you know he also writes dope comics like Aquaman? Well, now you do! Jordan’s a gem, and he’s on the rise.
This week two comics I worked on coming out!
The rest of TQS: Leah Williams and Tini Howard both have Substacks!
I also have a website where you can find more info on my work and some comic industry resources!
THANKS SO MUCH!
I’m grateful that you’ve decided to join me here, and hope to make it worth your while! <3
Killed it with both books this week V. Fantastic work
