Writer/artist @StephenPellnat will be debuting the third volume of his graphic novel series UPSTATE this coming weekend at TCAF, table 2039. UPSTATE is naturalistic, working class fiction for adults- a wildly unexplored genre, and we're all excited to get our hands on a copy.

Since the our youtube channel took off, we've had a ton of questions about how to form a studio like ours. @stevelieberart spoke with Leila del Duca to answer some of those questions. https://youtu.be/DUgavcF1g...
How to make a comic book studio - YouTube

In what feels like a check off the ol bucket list, I am going to publish a book of my cartoons. Or, at least, I will if it gets funded. My Kickstarter campaign for Bunkbed Mishaps goes live starting... NOW.

One of our finest moments happened 17 years ago today. April 4, 2006: the day we held life drawing sessions in the studio and a male model stood way, way too close to the cookies.

In response to Steve Lieber.
For clueless middle school me, this Jack Hamm book opened many, many doors. Cleanest, easiest-to-digest set of basic principles and tips I've yet to come across. Not as impressive as Loomis, but for a beginner like me, this one delivered a solid first step. So invaluable that I still have my copy.

Overdue station identification: I’m Dan Schkade, professional cartoonist — I do gag superhero comics that take like an hour to make and quite dense mystery/adventure strips that run for four years at a time. Sometimes dry, frequently sincere, promise I’ll try to delineate

Another silkscreen print - this was a design sketch for a vinyl toy collaboration with a Japanese toy sculptor that never happened. This is one of my favorite prints that I've done.

My go-to book forever, to be used more like an almanac than a textbook: Jack Hamm’s Cartooning The Head And Figure. Invaluable for drawing not-from-life fundamentals!

In response to Steve Lieber.
THE FICTION EDITOR, THE NOVEL AND THE NOVELIST, by Thomas McCormack, was revelatory to me in its discussion of theme, and to a lesser degree the idea that all craft rules are diagnostic.
There is an updated edition and I own copies but haven’t gotten around to reading it yet. But it’s probably st
