I’ve got several online events going on. So I’ll jump right into it!
Firstly, Sorcery 101 posted it’s first page on May 12, 2005. Meaning it will be 20 years old on this coming May 12th. To celebrate, I’ll be doing a live stream where I chat with friends about when it started and will answer reader questions. 
The stream will be on my twitch and if you have any questions for during the stream ask them here.
The next thing on the docket for May is I’m a panelist during the Cartoonist Co-op’s Nib and Ink Fest. If you don’t know, the Cartoonist Co-op is a co-op for freelance cartoonists to work together to help creators know their rights and improve their treatment across the industry.
All through my they are running a digital convention called Nib and Ink Fest. I’ll be on two panels that you can join via Zoom or youtube. 
The first is Having Fun with Backgrounds. Myself and Blue Delliquanti are giving advice to artists on how to make drawing background more enjoyable rather than a necessary chore. I put it together because I love drawing backgrounds and I love it when people draw detailed backgrounds. It will be May 11 at 1pm PST.
Next is Alternative Careers in Comics. My pal Nero put together a panel were we talk about doing the support jobs in comics. So I’ll be talking about editing while Hye talks production and Kevin talks web design. This one will be May 18 at 1pm PST.
Busy month huh? On top of all this, I’ll still do my usual stream.

- Wednesday at 4pm – 6pm PST – Art times
- Thursday at 3pm – 4pm PST – Wolf & Bones Comic Club
- Thursday at 4pm – 6pm PST – Art times
- Sunday at 8pm – 10pm PST – Baldur’s Gate 3
All these streams will be on my twitch, so stop by!
Last month I mostly focused on work but I was a guest on Serious Slack. The interview is on youtube and you can watch it here.
I’ve been prepping for all these events this month. I think I’m mostly caught up on things. I finally finished writing Glass Diamonds. So next on the writing to do list is Blue Moon the book I’m working on with Meredith McClaren. So I had some more time to watch and read more stuff. 
A youtuber I like made a video about Black Butler‘s new anime and mentioned there are werewolves in it. So I joked online that I guess I need to read Black Butler now. It was a series I had always been vaguely aware of but never checked out until now. The first volume kinda reminded me Tokyo Babylon because it is very cutesy, then something something horrifically violent happens, then it is back to being cutesy. The storytelling is kinda clumsy which makes sense because the creator only did a one shot before jumping into Black Butler. It isn’t 100% my thing, but I can see why certain parts of the internet went feral for it. I’m gonna keep reading until I get to the werewolves though. 
A local theater was doing a David Lynch memorial event and showed off all his movies. It made me realize I haven’t seen most of this films. So some friends of mine and I went and see Mulholland Dr for the first time. I don’t know why but before seeing the movie I thought it was a murder mystery. So it was definitely a wild ride. I liked it a lot but I’m still mentally chewing on it. 
I saw the new Wolfman movie. It was not only bad, but also boring. I posted about it on my bluesky. I went in expecting it to be bad and it still disappointed me. So save yourself 2 hours and skip it.
So that’s my month. Thanks everyone for your support! Have a good one.
