The cover of the graphic novel Cosmic Cadets: Contact! It shows 5 kids (4 human and 1 alien) exploring the jungle of an alien planet.
The cover of the graphic novel Cosmic Cadets: Accused! It shows 5 kids (4 human and 1 alien) hiding behind a column as another alien yells from a balcony behind them.
Cosmic Cadets is the all-ages sci-fi series my partner @andyalvesart.bsky.social and I created, and our book 2 just released! It follows the kids of the crew of a ship exploring the galaxy as they have their own adventures alongside their parents'.

A comic book cover for Scattered Futures. Two astronauts float in space above a glowing planet. Their tethers drift off the side of the page and their hands very nearly touch in the middle.

HEY LOS ANGELES
our trans sci-fi short film set in a comic shop, LONG AWAY, is coming to WONDERCON!
we’ll have a screening and panel with me, @susanlbridges.bsky.social, @jessiegender.bsky.social, and more!
full details forthcoming! COME SEE OUR MOVIE
A lizard just ran under my refrigerator. What does this mean? It feels portentous. There is a portent here.
Also, both of these are low-res versions for social media (the one with the trade dress on it is especially compressed). The actual piece is somehow even more gorgeous!
An illustration of two astronauts floating above a planet. Their tethers drift off to either side of the piece, and their hands are very nearly touching in the center. The planet's surface is a swirl of clouds, water, and land. The atmosphere glows in a radiant blue, and more planets and stars fill the black of space above the planet.
The same illustration as the previous picture of two astronauts floating above a planet, now with trade dress for the SCATTERED FUTURES comic book.
Check out this absolutely stunning illustration @carlydraws.bsky.social did for the cover of Scattered Futures!

I was already excited for this one. You've made me more so. I will never stop banging the kidlit creators need to respect kids drum.
To read "Delivery" and 2 other stories of quiet optimism in a harsh and uncaring world, check out the SCATTERED FUTURES #Kickstarter, launching soon!

A comic page. Excavators dig at the surface of an inhospitable planet. In orbit above the surface, a space ship docks with a ring station. The art is done in a chunky retro-futuristic style with a color palette inspired by old 4-color newsprint comics.
Delivery, drawn by @jnyfmg.bsky.social follows the crew of an isolated terraforming station searching for meaning--in their relationships, and in the work of building a better future they know they won't get to enjoy.

"Legitimate Salvage" follows two salvagers, Lun and Kini, as they explore a wrecked cargo ship until an unexpected discovery makes them confront questions of what is truly important to them. Sierra's art beautifully captures both the grittiness and the humanity of this world.
A comic book page. Across three panels, a spaceship with a logo of a smiling fox flies toward a wrecked cargo vessel. As it does, it's pilot and a crewman argue about the crewman missing the pilot's wife's party, and whether now is really the appropriate time for such an argument.
An illustration of a ring station high in orbit above a planet. Solar panels spread out from its side like a wing, and a space elevator stretches up to it from the surface. The illustration bears the SCATTERED FUTURES logo in the corner.
Sharing more art from SCATTERED FUTURES, my collection of short comics of hope and human connection coming soon to Kickstarter (prelaunch is live now: www.kickstarter.com/projects/ben...)
Our first story is "Legitimate Salvage" drawn by @sierrabravoart.bsky.social
I'm still processing. Yeah, it was a hell of a thing.
I'm really curious how it landed for folks who haven't seen Voyager and Discovery. It felt like it laid the groundwork, but I just can't know. (I have similar questions about the ds9 episode)
Then my work here is done
What the hell, Star Fleet Academy?! Your advertising promised me a bright and bubbly teen soap, but you decided instead to make a staggeringly beautiful ode to art and life and the place that each holds for the other?
I had the pleasure of reading one of SCATTERD FUTURES' stories. It gripped me instantly with its compelling world-building, relatable characters, and satisfying emotional arc.
It's challenging to write short comics, but @bencranewrites.com is an expert at it.
Thank you so much, Jeff!
Thank you!!!
Reposting for the night crowd.
I'm probably waiting for the trade (it'll bother me to have the TPB of 1 & 2, but then floppies afterward), but I am very much looking forward to it! Glad to hear you enjoyed it!
Thank you! I think so too! I'm probably not impartial, though.
Thank you!
Thank you! And thank you to you and Susan both for the lovely card! What a delightful surprise that was. With fuzzy stickers!!
Systemic is an anthology with seven sci-fi stories of people clashing with systemic/societal forces larger than them. Click this link to get your copy: studio12-7.com/products/sys...
A cut above most comic anthos.
Some really bright spots in SYSTEMIC, notably @richardfairgray.bsky.social & @artebuen.bsky.social’s stories.
Pick it up wherever you pick up these sorts of things, and rejoice.
Aww, thanks so much, Ian! So thrilled you enjoyed it!
Folks can get copies from me or Art or many of our contributors at cons. The Studio 12-7 webstore also has copies. And I'll have copies available as an add-on for my upcoming KS campaign: www.kickstarter.com/projects/ben...
I picked up the TPBs from my local shop on a whim recently and read them both in a single sitting.
