October 19, 2021 With the addition of modern-day voting rights icon Stacey Abrams, this brings us to 104 biographies. Not stopping this illustrative series by any stretch, but: I am taking a bit of a pause. In the meantime keep studying, my friends. Lotta work to do. #blacklivesmatter #goodtrouble #teachtruth #dothework October 4, 2021 What a wonderful weekend at the Upper Valley Comic Expo! Grateful thanks to all who came by, all who participated, and especially all who organized and ran the event! History was made and I dearly hope to continue to be part of it. September 3, 2021 I dearly hope everyone has a delightful --and safe-- time at FANEXPO Boston. With you guys in spirit, I assure you. Looking ahead to next month, I do hope to see everyone drop by my table in Lebanon, New Hampshire for the first-ever Upper Valley Comic Expo. In the meantime... look after one another my dears. The bullies are getting louder (and bolder) and more folks are getting scared. It is incumbent upon us to push back against this darkness that is threatening to engulf us. And I don't just mean the pandemic, here. I promise one day I'll gush all about Shang-Chi and Suicide Squad and Doctor Who, but... just now I'm reaching back to an older nerdy fandom from which to draw a little strength. "We have to help. Or else we won't have learned a thing." #resist July 31, 2021 Just about that time again (at last!). Looking forward to seeing all of you in Rochester, NH at Jetpack Comics for the long-anticipated return of Free Comic Book Day! I'll be doling out my usual assortment of free swag and ready (more than ready) to discuss all things nerdy. Drop by my table and let's catch up! June 1, 2021 It's June. A selection of some of last year's Black LGBTQ leaders and inspirational figures... who had to face twice as much bigotry. Today also marks my first full year of drawing this series. #blacklivesmatter #pride #showup #dothework #teachtruth April 1, 2021 Um, no. Not participating. Just too much potential for cruelty. In fact I'm content to retire this so-called "holiday" forever; it's certainly the one "holiday" that I loathe even more than Valentines' Day. There's a world of difference between a clever prank... and taking delight in upsetting or hurting someone. #cantyoutakeajoke March 23, 2021 Womens' History Month 2021: some truly fascinating biographies. Educate yourself on the lives of women such as Violette Neatley, Kathleen Neal Cleaver, Prathia Hall, Hallie Quinn Brown, or Septima Poinsette. Did you know about Sarah Mae Flemming? #blacklivesmatter #dothework February 28, 2021 Black Lives Matter. Wrapping up Black History Month 2021 with some more biographies for you to study. #dothework February 12, 2021 RIP Rowena Morrill. Your work inspired me more than I let on. Thank you. January 15, 2021 Happy New Year, my dears. Love you all and hoping for a bit of (positive) change in all of our fortunes, in 2021 --at least, I'm permitting myself a smidgin of optimism, for the first time in... well, a good long while. Very much hoping for some proper comic con appearances this year. I have high hopes for the awesomeness that will undoubtedly be the Upper Valley Comic Expo this coming May 1, and, later in the summer I'll be helping celebrate Free Comic Book Day, which will be on August 14, this year. So: see you all there, amidst a new chapter for us all. December 10, 2020 Black Lives Matter. It's not just a trendy hashtag, people. Our brothers and sisters of colour are --I suspect-- getting just a little tired of spelling it out for us. Get to studying. #dothework Start here if you need a jumping-on point. older entries
