Hi everyone, due to the sadness of not being able to buy more items for the distro recently, and after a few requests and suggestions, I've decided to open the @lost_doll_comics distro to consignment 👀
Lostdollcomics.ca :)

yes, also very weak haha
He's not wrong in that comics are a gruelling amount of work but but I really really really want to see what his comics actually looked/read like now
Interesting bit about 20 minutes into this where Alex Garland talks about drawing a comic book in his early twenties only to realize that the "work to product ratio was completely wrong" so he just stopped drawing the pictures and kept writing the words.
Here’s a recent illustration for the Canadian Medical Association for their Why I Med campaign.
I’ve been having a blast working on these illustrations over the past while and am currently searching for more work in this vein so if you have a project that you think I’d be a good fit for hit me up!
The funny thing is I bought this several years ago and only just realized this when I finally pulled it out for a re-read
I had a very brief interaction with Tatsumi, actually, back in like 2009 when he was a guest at a TCAF I was volunteering at because he was in a back room sitting on a chair that my knapsack was under. I awkwardly extracted it, interrupting some interview he was doing
Hah, just realized my copy of A Drifting Life that I bought at a thrift store is actually signed by Tatsumi himself
Hell yeah
It's rare to read comics with such a raw, visceral energy to it from both the aesthetic of the artwork to how it feels to actually read it.
Very late to the Brecht Evens train, but I just read The Wrong Place and -- holy! I couldn't connect with the story, but as a piece of comics storytelling, this book is phenomenal.
Whooa so cool!
four panel comic of two characters in a kitchen. A woman is teasing a man about dropping his keys in some soup. It looks like she actually does it, he reacts with shock and horror, but they both have a laugh once it's revealed she only dropped them on the counter, out of his view.
Black and white fanart for the movie, "They Look Like People". A distended figure regurgitates out a strange alien head.
A sample comic page from my short story in the 2024 Friendship Edition anthology. A woman with a hole for a face crouches down in front of a woman with a hole for a chest, they both blush. But the holes react poorly in proximity, and their bodies swirl and break down, the final panel is a black void.

Hello summer folk!
I am looking for illustration or comic work! You can peruse examples of my work right here on bsky, or my very cool website!

I’m about 20 pages in and I’m actually… enjoying the process of making this? Who knew doing something kinda dumb and absurd would be way more fun than depressive, whiny comics?
Apparently we’re supposed to be making a terrible comic today but I’ve just been plugging away on roughing out my Box Man comic which will, god willing, not be terrible some day. Here’s a peek at a rough page xoxo
The new 28 movie is fantastic. Very much lives up to days while doing its own thing. Very curious to see what's next with the series
Did I mention the cartooning is also incredible? Both as a masterclass in comics storytelling and also how to properly use halftone patterns. Really inspiring stuff!
Okay this one floored me -- Bob by David Genchi and Michele Marchetti. It's got it all. It's political, poetic grotesque, pornographic, funny, and wonderfully surreal.
Thanks to @hollowpress.bsky.social for publishing such interesting books
*neat
Does Marvel not think people will understand its a superhero comic without making it look as garish as all of their other books?
They're even kind enough to show how much better the book could have looked by giving you examples of the original art in the back of the book -- the original pages are so much stronger than what they actually give as the bulk of the book. Why do this?
And... I want to like it so bad because i have a huge soft spot for Wolverine and it seems like a mostly well made book... but the coloring is so often bafflingly poor with rendering that's just so I'll fitting on Tsutomu Nihei's original art that I find it genuinely hard to read.
Got this near looking Manga ass Wolverine comic out of the library today
Wow, imagine that!
When the Google AI spits out total nonsense like this, I'm honestly amazed that they can stand by the implementation of it. Just absolute trash through and through

This is beautiful!
I’m a romantic at heart and I don’t want to live my life inside of the same cages that I see so many people building for themselves. I still want a life that feels meaningful even if the realities of living in such a brutal society make that difficult sometimes.
It’s hard to tell as an aging millennial with nothing concrete to show for my 41 years of age if this kind of music has been more hurtful than helpful in some respects but I still take all of this with my whole heart.
All my favourite punk records are kind of sort of just about the politics of trying to live a good life.
This is one of my all time favourites - -

You can own it all
