Knowledge is Power! Borrowed from my friend Tom Miller, unfortunately artist unknown
I have so many questions about this ad I got while reading a USA Today article. To start with, are the apostles known for eating healthy? Is this a goal for people? They’re leaning into religious parallels - transformation, “12” ingredients (apostles) 40 days (flood), etc. Real scam vibes here.
Really enjoyed the first two episodes of The Ghost In The Shell anime! A very faithful adaptation of the manga, keeps a lot of the goofiness and ridiculousness of the source material (the boat scene!! the emoting tachikomas!), Science Saru has done a fantastic job, highly recommended!
This movie was so fun and original, like watching some kind of live action Looney Tunes movie, it was over the top and a visual treat! Definitely worth seeing in the theater so the amount of amazing color palettes used in this film can knock your socks off!
To all my Bay Area friends! If you're looking for something to do this weekend, may I humbly suggest you check out our new show @comicconoakland.com happening on May 9-10? We're running the first comic show at the Oakland Convention Center in over 10 years(!) featuring many incredible creators!
Plus @mouseguard.bsky.social & his lovely wife Julia, and a bunch of folks not on Bluesky like Jeremy Haun, Eric Reynolds and Patrick Ballesteros! I enjoyed just wandering the show, plus delivering lunches to @andreademonakos.bsky.social at the booth she was working for the weekend!
ECCC was a fun time, I tried my best to take photos but still only ended up with these 8 haha. Still, was great to see so many friends including @terrydodsonart.bsky.social @adamwarren.bsky.social @zackdavisson.com @stevelieberart.bsky.social @jimzub.bsky.social @jeffparker.bsky.social
Had a whirlwind trip to LA this past weekend and forgot to post here. We received an Annie Award of Special Achievement for @lightboxexpo.com! Incredibly honored to get this recognition alongside Bobby Chiu and grateful to @andreademonakos.bsky.social without whom none of this would be possible. ❤️
What a whirlwind couple of days in LA to receive an @annieawards.bsky.social for @lightboxexpo.com! So much fun with LBX cofounder @bobbychiu.bsky.social, my incredible wife @andreademonakos.bsky.social and so many others! Should have taken more photos but did get a fun snap with Stitch and Nani!!
Happy New Year! 2025 was a really uneven year, with some great highs and some incredible lows. That said, here’s hoping for a safe, prosperous, and positive 2026 for everyone! The photo is of our traditional Greek βασιλόπιτα (Vasilopita), which we make to celebrate the new year.
Not bad, a few things planned for this year, so hopefully I can live up to it!
Occasionally I get those pop-up memories and 9(!!) years ago in India I was a guest at the Bengaluru Comic Con. I came to the convention and found they had unexpectedly printed my face on the sign above my signing table and it was giant! Good times!
FAMILY WE ARE FRIENDLY STRONGER AND A LITTLE... TOGETHER COMPETITIVE
Was able to catch @realgdt.bsky.social's Frankenstein in the theater before it drops on Netflix tomorrow. It is a creative delight to behold and the amount of depth resonating in every choice made in this film is an absolute joy to watch. Suffice to say, I absolutely loved it!
I was told I'm bad about tooting my own horn, so I want to say thank you to everyone who helped this campaign be a success! It's so appreciated and I'm excited to get this film delivered into the world next year!
Well, this is pretty fun - the YT channel for our documentary production company (www.youtube.com/@inkonpapers...) has officially hit over 1 million views! I know some people have single videos that do these numbers, but I still want to celebrate this accomplishment as indie film creators! Woo!
3 days left to go until @lightboxexpo.com! Can't believe it's already here!! Hope to see you there!
Let’s go Mariners!! 🔱 Andrea is from Toronto hence the Jays shirt, we’re a house divided!
RIP Drew Struzan, the man who illustrated my childhood, especially at the movies. I am lucky enough to have a piece of his on my wall that I look at every day (from the Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade Pepsi campaign in 1989).
At 4:58 minutes, the game was officially the longest winner-take-all game in MLB history!
After an insane 15-innings long game, the @mariners.com won and are going to the ALCS! An exhaustingly fun time was definitely had by all!
Best I could do on my iPhone when it was nearly dark but this owl was just chilling on a wire across from the house and so I grabbed a couple shots!
Happy Anniversary to @andreademonakos.bsky.social You are and continue to be the absolute best part of my life, love you forever!
It’s my birthday today and @andreademonakos.bsky.social surprised me with this awesome commission from @bensears.bsky.social combining two of my favorites, Ben Grimm and the @seahawksofficial.com (plus a bonus H.E.R.B.I.E.!). Too cool to not share!!
Introducing Comic Con Oakland - a fun comics-oriented show we're launching in the Bay Area, May 2026! On the heels of the debut of our show in Omaha, I'm excited to bring this show to life to our friends in The Town! Exhibitor and Artist Alley applications are now open on www.comicconoakland.com
Did a fig harvest yesterday, all this is from one single tree! Ballpark around 130 figs and probably a few dozen more that aren’t ready yet. This tree was going for overachiever status for sure!
