Had an amazing conversation with @davidmariotte.bsky.social , Benn and Darren Soto about The Conjure-Man Dies and the comics industry more broadly.
It was a wonderful time.

Love this video on the importance of the Pulps.
Obviously, we love pulp stories and try to emulate the feel of pulp stories (minus the racism, sexism and other -isms) because there is a lot of value to the stories that originated from pulp magazines.
The support has been incredible for this campaign, but with only 21 hours left you do not want to miss out on the change to nab some exclusive covers, plus an absolutely great story from @davidmariotte.bsky.social and Darren Soto.
Get incredible covers from comic legends including Keith Williams, @smartinbrough.bsky.social, Georges Jeanty and Afua Richardson, most of which are exclusive to Kickstarter.
As well as brilliant interior art from the amazing Darren Soto.
We've entered the witching hour for The Conjure-Man Dies campaign! That point when @kickstarter.com switches from displaying days to displaying hours!
(Re)Discover this classic Rudolph Fisher detective story set during the Harlem Renaissance, adapted for a comic by @davidmariotte.bsky.social!
Honestly, I bet your letterboxd IS fire (even though, I am way too old to actually use that term).
Love @brunocatarino.bsky.social's breakdown of Amazon vs Kickstarter for Indie Creators in his newsletter.
I get the appeal of trying to list on Amazon, but I repeatedly hear from creators how hard it is for small creators to make money from Amazon.
New bad movie review out now! www.youtube.com/watch?v=Etfu...
A page from “Mad About DC” featuring “Splash-Man” the splash page comic guy. Which includes the following call out boxes: WRITERS LOVE HIM! PAGE COUNTS FEAR HIM! ARTISTS DO BOTH! WANT TO INTRODUCE CHEAP SPECTACLE INTO YOUR ISSUE? NEED AN EASY WAY TO BURN A PAGE? DO YOU YEARN TO KEEP THE READER'S ATTENTION SO YOUR BOOK MAKES IT PAST ISSUE 10?! YOU NEED NOT DO MORE THAN CALL UPON THE AID OF SPLASH-MAN! BEWARE, VILLAINS, AND BEHOLD THE MMENSE ATTENTION DRAWING POWER OF SPLASH-MAN
Darn you @yayforzig.bsky.social & @dinicuolo.bsky.social for making me spit up my Diet Dr Pepper.
As someone guilty of all these sins, this really had me laughing way too hard.
Folks, there's one week left to back the KS for Rudolph Fisher's The Conjure-Man Dies, a comic adaptation of the classic detective story! By me, Darren Soto, and DJ Chavis through @greenarcher.io! We've got killer covers! Darren & DJ are having a ton of fun on the interiors! & we're funded! Back it!
It’s a good thing I am lucky in love, because I am REALLY unlucky when it comes to the @smallpressexpo.bsky.social lottery!
0/3 now.
But, we’ll still be attending and looking forward to seeing some of our favorite fellow small press creators there.
The Conjure-Man Dies is an important novel and celebration of the Harlem Renaissance. It is a true honor to bring this story to a new generation of readers.
Don't miss out, back the campaign today!
11 More Days!
That's all the time left to back The Conjure-Man Dies on @kickstarter.com! In addition to a great adaptation by @davidmariotte.bsky.social & interiors from Darren Soto, we have FOUR incredible covers by legends: Keith WIlliams, Shawn Martinbrough, Georges Jeanty and Afua Richardson.
Love this @christophcondon.bsky.social interview on @comicbookyeti.com’s Cryptid Creator Corner! Well done @jimmygaspero.bsky.social
I’m a huge fan of Chris’ stories, they always have lots of depth.
And Chris, if you ever grow tired of the “Big Two” money, hmu 🤣
I pledged to get my autographed copy! Seems like a great project from a masterful team.
This Awesome Comics Podcast interview with @fantagraphics.bsky.social’s Gary Groth is incredibly insightful. I’m a big fan of Fantagraphics and the fact that they’ve been able to do why they do for 50 years is mind blowing 🤯!
Well done, @jesterdiablo.bsky.social, @vanguardcomic.bsky.social & Tony.
Interesting, @bradguigar.com & @davekellett.bsky.social have talked about their success on @bsky.app with their Kickstarters.
We’re seeing that too! Right now, a full 10% of our backers are coming from BlueSky.
That’s huge. Support our campaign today and show the power of BlueSky
Thank you 🙏!
The book was released at the height of the Harlem Renaissance and Darren Soto's art, with DJ Chavis colors reflect that.
As do the amazing covers from Keith Williams, Sean Martinbrough, Georges Jeanty and Afua Richardson.
We'd love you support today!
I am thrilled to announce the @kickstarter.com campaign for The Conjure-Man Dies is live! @davidmariotte.bsky.social has skillfully adapted this 1932 detective novel by Rudolph Fisher (who still gets top billing, sorry David) featuring the first African-American Detective and all-black characters.
I love it when The Press Guardian shows up on BlueSky!
btw: this arrived yesterday and it is gorgeous! Well done!
Portfolio is updated with all my work for @greenarcher.io , updated commission prices and commission examples! Give it a look, and fill out the form if you'd like to commission me! (o:

Loved this week’s episode of @comiclab.bsky.social, but I have bad news for @bradguigar.com. One of the most famous hacking groups in the world call themselves Evil Corp.
I love it when I get mail from @kellythompson.bsky.social!
Thank you for the very cool drawing!
Dude! Thank you so much for your support!
Absolutely amazing interview with @jesselonergan.bsky.social on the Awesome Comics Podcast week, I got the chance to meet Jesse at @smallpressexpo.bsky.social and he and his work are brilliant.
Well done @jesterdiablo.bsky.social, @vanguardcomic.bsky.social (and Tony)!
I really enjoyed the first issue of Narco from @dougwagner13.bsky.social & @imagecomics.com!
Wasn’t expecting to read a comic about Narcolepsy and Serial Killers, but given Doug’s other stories 😂…
