AMELIA: 🎶Everybody get up, it's time to slam now! We got a real jam goin' down! 🎶
ME: Are you singing the song from SPACE JAM?
AMELIA: You know this song!?
ME: Do not quote the Deep Magic to me. I was there when it was written.
Drawing of a curly redheaded girl wearing a festively patterned Christmas sweater. Not intended to be anyone in particular, but if makes you happy for her to be Merida, Mary Jane Watson, etc... that's totally fine with me. Wishing everyone here a happy holiday season.

Finished the final edits to CLAYMORE, and now it's off to the printer!
DO IT DO IT DO IT
still haven't forgiven them
Hey if you like cool comics with dope art and rad writing, today's a GREAT WEDNESDAY to pick up Batman/Deadpool #1 from your local shop AND back the CLAYMORE comic Kickstarter these fine folks are running:
Better late than never! CLAYMORE (brought to you by myself, @lengog.bsky.social, @kinmeran.bsky.social, @maydaytrippe.bsky.social, @charliemcelvy.bsky.social) has three days to find its funding. Let's do this.

Robert Balloch, the monster hunter called Claymore, is one of my favorite characters that I’ve had a hand in creating.
We have four days to fully bring CLAYMORE to life. Follow the link in my bio or in the comments below.
He looks like someone who might have actually existed — but is also unmistakably a fantasy character. The colors Dennis Yatras paints him with bring him to life in such a fun and exciting way.
Len responded with a character design that exceeded my wildest expectations. It’s not derivative of any specific western character, yet it it’s instantly recognizable. He looks like a traveler, a trapper, and a hunter.
The only image I had of Claymore when I was writing it was his silhouette: A man in a long coat, wide-brimmed hat, and a six-foot long claymore strapped to his back. I traced Wyatt Earp’s silhouette from TOMBSTONE, added the sword, and sent it to @lengog.bsky.social
A small peek at our process! From @tsfogg.bsky.social's script to @kinmeran.bsky.social's colours!
Get your hands on the first issue of the fantasy western series The Monster Hunter Called CLAYMORE on Kickstarter! Only 7 days left 🗡️🗡️

8 Days till we head off into the West to fight monsters and myths! Who's with us?

CLAYMORE is on Kickstarter — but not for much longer! We have 9 days and a little ways to go. But we can do it! Let’s fight some monsters and myths in the West!

I agree that Bond belongs to everyone. But I don't think that should make him immortal. Every Bond we've ever had was adapted for the times we lived in. It was fitting for Craig's Bond to have a beginning, middle, and end.
JUST ADDED!! You can get a copy of CLAYMORE with a sketch of one of the main characters on the cover! There are only six available, so snag them now before they go away forever!
www.kickstarter.com/projects/xio...
Upon the Kickstarter's completion, you will get a copy of the artist's cover AND a one-of-a-kind black and white sketch cover featuring one of the characters from the book. We're printing a very small batch of sketch covers, so this is probably your only chance to get one of these!
ATTENTION ART COLLECTORS!! Now's your chance to get some original art from the CLAYMORE team! There are six new tiers that have opened up. Three for Len Gogou and three for Alessandro Aroffu.
Reminder that, unless a creative freelancer has a spouse with a day job that offers health insurance, they likely have an ACA plan. And with the hits to creative industries the past few years, I'm guessing many qualify for subsidies.
Related reminder that comic creators are freelancers.
BACKED! Monsters and swords in a Western - not a bad way to start the day! Check out this awesome book from @charliemcelvy.bsky.social @tsfogg.bsky.social & Xion Studios on @kickstarter.com now! Only days left on the campaign.
"Many of you fuckers will sit for hours on end with nary an absinthe drip in sight. Don’t you unimpeachable geniuses know that the service industry is all about turnover?"
I really wanted our comic to have an incredible logo. Something fresh and new, something that stood out, and somehow capture the vibe of the book. So of course there was only one person I could call: @maydaytrippe.bsky.social. And of course they delivered. To see more, visit the link below!
