I was a college professor while building my comic book career. 18 years of double full-time: teaching _and_ comics.
I kept teaching even when I started getting Big Two work because I'd seen too many peers rise and crash and didn't want to hitch my stability to an industry with a high failure rate.

Hello Twitter-Refugees!
Iβm the editor for the Advanced Age Roleplaying Gamers podcast. Itβs a TTRPG passion project I make with my dear friends.
I post a lot about audio tech, recording, editing & sound design
Iβm a firm believer that indie artists should help each other find their audience.
Spot on. The UK scene, but the situation in North America, too.
"We will be left with nothing but commentary about super-hero movies, anti-progressive podcasts and YouTube channels, and whatever the hell it is Comicsg*te are vomiting out this week."
Ugh. Yeah, it's bleak right now.
A hand holds up a New Jersey Web Fest award for Outstand Sci-Fi Actual Play (Podcast). In the background there is a collection of lego Star Wars sets.
Hand-delivered all the way from New Jersey! Thanks again to @njwebfest.bsky.social for the award and to @neddonovan.bsky.social and friends for helping it find its way safely across the border!
