Optical illusion of a woman bent over some papers. Her sunglasses are pushed up and she is wearing a hair band so the top of her head looks exactly like a Muppet face

Come find me at booth 21006 near the community stage at Emerald City Comic Con! But don’t try to find me in this photo because I’m not there because I’m taking the photo.

An amalgamation of Lady Justice and Lady Liberty personified by a strong Black femme character. She's blindfolded and drawing a sword. The caption reads "Fuck I.C.E."

I can't make it to ECCC this year, but that doesn't mean I didn't put something together for all y'all!

My first digital download print sized at 24"x31" for when you need to make your opinions known.

Eliza readies her sword against the starry-fleshed beasts bursting from the shrine. You or a spry squire of yours may find this just the fun you're looking for!

A character sheet of Eliza from Sleeping Wizards. She is a fighter and has 0 known magic ability. If you back Sleeping Wizards and give just $5 extra you can get a blank of this character sheet AND a oneshot campaign to try out with any general tabletop rpg you enjoy like d&d or pathfinder.

Randall cannot believe that he is getting written up in a character sheet. He already left the shrine more than once! Don't be fooled by his build, he is a ranger and he will get moving if he has to.

Xander, a thief from Sleeping Wizards. Despite being a thief, he has a debuff to his speed, but he's still dexterous in his hands.

Having just re-read an old book I read as a teen, I can relate to this. There was a lot of nuance that I missed. It had a deeper human element than I remembered. And a much needed message that even when you know you're going to lose, you still have to try & change the outcome. Cause what if you win?

Shards of Reflection A newly made vampire searches for the vampire who made her while unable to trust her new senses and memories.

My amazing friend Kel McDonald has a kickstarter for their new futuristic vampire comic book. I adore Kel's work (if you're a sicko werewolf fan, you'll love them) so I'm pumped for this new one and if you can send some support, it'd be really appreciated. www.kickstarter.com/projects/149...

ECCC 2026 Artist Alley commission list Emerald City Comic Con is one of the best, but also one of the most difficult, places to snag art from your favorite comic creators. Allow Popverse to provide another way

ECCC put out a list of folks who are taking commissions in Artist Alley this year. It's got names, table numbers, pricing and contact info.
Incidentally, yours truly is on it if you were hoping to commission me at the show!

After going through 300+ con websites today, I found that a LOT of cons don't have their application deadlines listed on the application page. Most ONLY had it on their Instagram posts. It's frustrating!

This comic is short (>100 pgs) so the paperback only costs $12!!

The good news is that’s a STEAL for an OGN!!

The downside is that it’ll take more backers for every creator involved in this project to be paid what they’re worth πŸ™

If you haven’t already, please consider supporting this project!

Went out to dinner with my wife tonight. We got a pizza (with lots of toppings), a beer (which was for me, but was big enough for two), and two small glasses of freshly squeezed orange juice.

All for $12.27? Like... WHAT?!
