A lifetime ago!!!

It doesn’t feel that way lately. But I appreciate you.

Was I being performative for you??? Was it an actual convo you overheard or was I being stupid on purpose.

Good lord. Did I really???

Come watch Brad and I talk comics!

Ugh. No thanks. It’s hard enough to look at old work. Don’t make me redraw it. Gotta move forward. I’d much prefer working on a new kid kit book.

I just tried Rock Paper Pencil by Astropad, and I really like it.

Yes!!!

I want to play @deadasdisco.com so bad.

Table Titans Club: Sneak Attack (book 2) is on sale for pre-order! The book hits shelves in March 2026, but pre-orders make a huge difference. So please reserve your copy.

How The Tariffs Are Affecting My TTRPG Kickstarter! YouTube video by JP Coovert

My buddy @jpcoovert.bsky.social has just posted a really important video about being an indie creator and dealing with Trump's ridiculous tariffs. Check it out and support JP's work. It's amazing.

Wow! I started a new Instagram account last week for my work as a kidlit author, and I'm about to hit 250 followers. Not bad for an old fart who's still learning how social media works!

I’ve launched a new Instagram account dedicated to my work as a kidlit author. It would mean a lot if you followed the new account, helped spread the word, and gave it a boost to get things rolling.

Between books Liminal spaces can be scary

I’m between books so I’ve created a bunch of work for myself to keep busy this summer so I don’t feel like I’m a big-dumb-failure.

Why is Superman so important to me? Like fundamentally and deep in my core important.

Dad loves when I visit, and enjoys spending time with me, but I mean…there’s a show about polar bears on the big TV.

Polar bears.

I'm offering coaching and consultations for aspiring cartoonists seeking guidance on their cartooning journey. If you need help with a specific problem, advice on putting together a book pitch or working on a webcomic, I'm available.

Whoops. I won’t be helping with spelling obvs. Ha ha.

Yes. But I’ll mostly be asking you questions.

Comics Consultations Schedule a one-on-one talk with Scott

After a lot of encouragement from @bradguigar.com, I'm finally offering Comics Consulting. Check out the details at the link below.

You know what I hate drawing? DM screens. It's really hard to make them look right and then you gotta figure out what's ON the screen because nobody has a blank DM screen. But adding a design to the screen can distract from the image in general.

A reader sent a pic from Indigo book store in Toronto. Great to see Table Titans Club get some display table love. And right next to me is @shanatargosz.bsky.social new book, The Underwild We're doing it! It's all happening for us!!!

PLEASE BUY OUR BOOKS!

Hey. Just make the thing. Start today. With whatever you have now. Just start making it now. And then maintain momentum. Don’t stop or restart. Just go and keep going until you finish.

Trust me.

Really excited to announce I'll be attending and exhibiting at CXC Columbus this September next to my buddies @stevehamaker.bsky.social and @wesmolebash.com.

More details to come in the following months.

Cartoonists: I'm going to be attending a convention later this year. What do we currently like regarding signage for AA tables? Are we draping stuff over the table? Retractable banners? What are people finding works well? The less I have to ship or carry the better, but I want to be seen at the show

She speaks the truth.

Those deep dish pizzas. The sauce. I've never had anything similar. I might have to make a trip to Denton soon.

There’s a flying tomato food truck????

If I did this, I would want to focus on the creative side of things more than the business side of things. There's no point talking business/monetization until you have something to build a business on. The work comes first.

Brad has been encouraging me to offer similar consultations and I've been terrified to pull the trigger on it. I know I have a lot of knowledge to offer, and I love helping people with their work, but I guess my imposter syndrome kicks in and stops me.
