Spooky season is upon us! To celebrate I put together a few designs promoting books and libraries. If you like them, feel free to use them! These are four of my poster designs! Again, these posters are absolutely free for you to print and use!
Schools and public libraries are under attack and need your support. They are facing quiet defunding, book bans, and acts of hate. Please consider contacting your local representative to ask that these institutions remain funded and protected, and show your support by stopping by your local library.
For additional Halloween freebies celebrating libraries and reading, click the link here!
If you would like to see more of my library/activism designs or would like to get these designs on a T-shirt, book bag, or sticker, you can visit my shop here.

Neil Gaiman's CHIVALRY makes 2022 American Library Association Best Graphic Novels of 2022 List
Tumblr media
CHIVALRY makes the cut! Neil Gaiman's short story, published by Dark Horse Comics and adapted and illustrated by me has made the final list of 2022 BEST GRAPHIC NOVELS FOR ADULTS at the American Library Association!
Thrilled and grateful to make the cut (the field gets better every year, gotta say,) and happy to note my buddy Jeff Smith is on there with his work TUKI: FIGHT FOR FIRE, as well as DUCKS by Kate Beaton, which is superb. Great company to be in!
Tumblr media
Thank you Neil and Dark Horse! I suppose CHIVALRY, a King Arthur tale, should be on the Graphic Novel List Round Table. Hardehar.

theon and robb are such a tragedy because you can tell that robb just doesn't get it. he looks at theon and sees the boy that he's always loved- the boy that he's grown up with- and just doesn't see how he could betray him. how could theon kill bran and rickon? he's known them their entire lives, aren't they family? robb will never ever understand that theon was a hostage. that he was taken away from his family, that he never belonged in winterfell and he never belonged with the starks because they weren't his home, asha and alannyse were. but he was home to robb. and it's so painfully obvious when we get to theons povs that he wants to fit in, that he wants ned to look at him as a son and he wants him to be proud of him depite everything he put him through. despite everything he's taken from him, because he only has a vague memory of the life he had before he was a hostage, and its so little, but it's enough to make him know that it wasn't right what ned did to him, but he's the closest thing to a father figure he could ever hope to have so he yearns for his approval anyways. and then theon is given a chance with his actual father, and he takes it, damn the consequences, because it might be the only chance he has. robb just doesn't get that, and how could he?

Local six-year-old Rory knows more about the larval stage of butterflies than her new favourite adult Aaron.

Hi! I'm seeing in the news that at least three US states are calling to cut ties with the American Library Association (for the usual racist, transphobic reasons). I'm just not clear on what that actually means. What happens to libraries and librarians in those states if their governments "cut ties" with the ALA?
Here's a news article on what this ask is referring to: https://abcnews.go.com/US/wireStory/conservative-book-ban-push-fuels-library-exodus-national-102923402
The ALA is a large organization that supports libraries and librarians across the United States. I'm personally a member of the ALA and one of its subgroups (ACRL - Association of College & Research Libraries). Anyone seeking a library science degree (MLS/MIS/MLIS/MSLIS/etc. - the name varies from program to program) should check the list of ALA-accredited programs, since jobs which require that degree almost always require that the degree come from an ALA-accredited program. The ALA's Code of Ethics is the backbone of librarianship, the core of what our profession is built around.
Libraries breaking away from the ALA like this isn't about losing benefits, or not being able to afford dues. It's a political statement, saying that censorship is more important than access to information.

My spoils from Anime LA. It’s still going, but I decided one day was good enough for me. It’s a much smaller con than Anime Expo so I was able to look around all the artist alley and exhibitors within a few hours!
Besides that there might be a panel or two that I was interested in, but it’s a bit too long to travel for me, so I am okey with not going anymore.
As you can see. I am in my sticker era again (Last being when I was in 8th grade). Much OP, Ghibli, and some Pokemon sprinkled in. I tried not to spend that much money, but all of these were still pretty expensive. 🥲

Right here there’s also some original artwork that I enjoyed by @curoie and @47ness on Instagram!

Anime LA is also apparently called Ribbon Con as well? I knew that ribbons were a thing at some cons, but I didn’t realize the whole culture that’s come from it! (There were people with literal boxes of ribbons that seemed to have gone there just for the trading). I was only there one day and I was swept up by it haha.
The ones actually attached to my badge were from a stamp rally I was doing so I could interact a bit at the con!
Over all I had fun, and if it was closer I would try and go more days, but this was good enough for me over all!
Will definitely go next year to enjoy again!
