It's Bigger Than Alex Graham's Comic: An Instagram post has stirred up a hornet's next of controversy by suggesting that comics by marginalized groups are overrated
nooo… i will just miss you when i’m finally back in ma after that weekend 🥲
!!!!!!
@galegalligan.bsky.social thank you for the shout out of mole & otter 😭
but everyone MUST read their graphic novel FREESTYLE!! the charming art, creative panels, fun/energetic story… what more could you ask for? only another book by them, FRESH START! (which is still on my tbrl 🫣)
My first time doing this #artistsearch, but we’re looking for an #inker to help out with the second book in a middle grade #graphicnovel series. The style leans scribbly and cartoonish for a young audience.
Please reply here with image samples and a link to your portfolio!
oh good! I’ll still be awkward but less scared now 🤣

i always feel awkward asking to sign copies of my books at stores but it’s easier doing it with a friend. not sure how many copies are left, but i’ve stopped by brookline booksmith, carle museum, and high five books.
also one of the wordle words this week was otter… it’s a sign! 🦦

(still waiting for my postcards to arrive so i can mail them…)
thinking of posting here mainly now (not that i really do social media much in the first place) but the instagram grid no longer being squares is the last straw
i barely post on social media but thought i should mention this happened over the summer. Always looking to expand my list of illustrators for picture books & graphic novels. And sometimes need colorists & letterers.
Awwright, 23 in my BIPOC Comics & Webcomics #StarterPack to start with!
If you're a moot and I missed you cause I didn't know you were BIPOC *or* I didn't know you were working on a comic, @ or DM me. Do the same if you're in, and would prefer to be removed for any reason. 🫡
