#glyph comics awards

[deebrisbyfish]

Of all the strips in this series, this is probably the MOST self-indulgent. This IS taken from a real conversation at the table between myself and cartoonist George Gant. George is the creator of the AMAZING, Ringo and Glyph Award Nominated comic strip, "Beware of Toddler". This is a joke that's probably ONLY funny to me and George, but my name is on the top of the strip. I can do in-jokes if I want to. lol And remember, there's just a few more days left to support the FINDING DEE COLOR COLLECTION Vol. 2 KICKSTARTER! kick.lagunastudios.net

“AMBITIONZ AZ A WRITAH”

[frotoon]

Sneak peek at finished cover for upcoming book. For fans of Blackwax Boulevard, hopefully you’ll be fans of the comic I did before BB. I fashioned Marty’s Diner (2009-2011) to be “Crash meets Napoleon Dynamite meets Cheers.” Didn’t last as long as I hoped but I felt the time was right to revisit the project. I plan to debut this book in time for the St Louis Small Press Expo this October. But it should also be available on Amazon by then as well. Stay tuned!

A Dream Come True

It’s finally here! The fic and comic you’ve all been waiting for! And it’s all catradora fluff as far as the eye can see.

I wanna thank my good friend @midnightechoes for her amazing work on the comic and to all the people who donated and helped us reach our 200 dollar goal.

And without any further delay, here’s the AO3 link (comic included) for those who’d rather read over there, and let’s get this nonsense going

Today was a big day for Etheria. It was the first Princess Prom since the fall of Prime, the first Princess Prom in many years to be celebrated in a time of peace and prosperity. So of course, Etheria’s great savior and protector was expected to make an appearance, and she was expected to look good.

Though if Adora asked just about anyone, they would claim that she always looked good. But she did want to put in the extra effort today. It took her some convincing from all of her friends to keep her from over planning and over preparing like last time.

There was no threat of war, no great enemy, no lies or intrigue, it would just be a ball with all the people she loved. She could just rest and relax tonight. So she put on a beautiful white dress, let her hair loose from its near permanent ponytail, donned a pretty little tiara, and just let herself not be combat ready for once.

Looking now at her own reflection in the room’s waterfall - the closest to a practical use she found to those wasteful things - she had to admit that she did look pretty, though for some reason she was struck by a strange sense of familiarity.

“Just let me brush it!” She heard Glimmer call from outside the room.

“No!” Catra yelled back as she ran into the room with the queen chasing after her, brush in hand.

Though Catra acted like she was running for life, they both still giggled. Catra tried to use her wife as cover from the queen’s attack, but Glimmer followed her anyway, and both just started running circles around Adora.

“Don’t let her touch me!” Catra yelled, hiding behind Adora, “she’s gonna torture me!”

“Do you always have to be this dramatic?” Glimmer asked, knowing full well that the answer was yes.

“Come on, guys,” Bow called, calmly walking in, “if we’re late to Scorpia’s first ball she’s gonna kill us.”

He pulled Glimmer closer and she leaned against him, hooking an arm around his back. For a moment there the queen seemed to forget about her plans to torture Catra, and just enjoyed that little display of affection from her husband.

“Fine, you’re off the hook,” she surrendered, but added just a little threat at the end, “this time.”

Catra stuck her tongue out at them, still using Adora for cover, as they left the room, leaving the two of them alone together. Once she was sure she was safe from Glimmer’s hairbrush, she stepped out from behind her wife and laughed a little to herself.

“You coming?” She asked, reaching a hand towards Adora.

The whole time Adora had been stunned. In equal parts by this constant feeling of dejavu, and by just how beautiful Catra looked right now. Her wife had always been a master of the casually gorgeous look, but this time she had completely out done herself.

“Etheria to Adora,” Catra called, playfully, “you still there, Adora?”

“Sorry, I just have this weird feeling that I’ve seen this before,” she explained, the feeling completely disappearing a moment later.

“What? Did you sneak a peek while me and Glimmer were putting the look together?” She teased.

“No!” Adora defended herself, “it’s just dejavu or something. I--you’re messing with me, aren’t you?”

Catra feigned offense, “such accusations from my own wife? I would never do such a thing.”

“Oh you little--!”

“Guys,” Bow interrupted again, calling from the hallway beyond, “Scorpia’s ball, remember?”

“Sorry, your majesty,” Adora shouted back, they both knew he didn’t like the title, but it was fun to mess with him sometimes.

That earned her a little laugh from Catra and a soft nudge to her side, “you ready to go?”

“Yeah, I think I am,” she answered, hooking her arm around Catra’s as they made their way out of the room.

They had barely stepped into the hallways of Bright Moon castle when they were stopped by a voice calling for them.

“Oh my goodness!” Exclaimed a very excited King Micah, “you both look stunning!”

The king had always been such a sweetheart, the man had nearly adopted the two of them after the war was over. After everything that had happened, it was nice seeing him this happy.

“Hey there, your majesty,” Catra greeted, “everything ready for the dance?”

“Indeed it is!” He replied, his bright smile growing wider, “before you go, though, I have a big surprise for you!”

“Oh?” 

With a dramatic flare worthy of Double Trouble, King Micah stepped aside to reveal…

The most adorable thing they’ve ever seen.

Behind the king stood their child. Little Finn looked as adorable as they looked annoyed at their new outfit, a lovely uniform in several shades of purple and beautiful gold accents. The kid was just short of ten years old, but they already looked like a fancy little dignitary of the kingdom. The only thing standing out from the illusion was their messy blonde hair.

“You look precious!” Adora squealed at the sight.

Catra gasped, holding on tighter to her wife’s arm. It was the only thing she could do not to run over and hug them right this instant.

“Moms!” Finn groaned, “please!”

Unfortunately their pleas for help were lost on their moms, who were still busy blabbering about how adorable they looked.

“Uncle Micah, do I really have to wear this? It’s itchy,” they complained, hoping their uncle would listen, “and lame.”

The king turned to address his little nibling, but was horrified by what he saw.

“How did you manage to mess up your hair in the five minutes since I finished it?!” He demanded, utterly shocked.

“It’s a skill, uncle,” Finn replied, giving him a smug look that clearly ran in the family.

Looking none too pleased with all that lost work, Micah drew a quick glyph in the air, using just a bit of magic to comb his nibling’s hair in an instant.

“There, fixed.” The king proudly declared, earning a hiss from the angry child.

And also earning him a hug from Adora.

“They look amazing,” she beamed, “thank you!”

“My pleasure, Adora,” he replied, his voice and expression growing softer, “I missed out on too many of these moments with Glimmer. I’m not going to miss any more of them.”

Meanwhile Catra no longer had Adora to hold on to to help contain herself, so she had dashed over to their child, too busy showering them with love and affection to notice the tender moment happening behind her.

“You are the cutest kid in all of Etheria,” she happily praised.

“Mom!” Finn groaned once more.

Adora let out a content sigh as she watched those two. She loved them with all her heart and they had made the past decade of her life better than she could have ever dreamed it would be.

“Thanks again,” she repeated to Micah, finally letting go of the hug.

Walking over to her family - wow, it really warmed her heart every time she thought of them like that - she picked up the little light of her life and carried them on her shoulders. They mumbled a few words in annoyance, but Adora could feel their tail happily swaying against her back.

“You’re going to win Best Kid at the dance for sure!” Catra commented.

“I don’t think that’s a real award, mom.”

“We’ll make it real, kid.” She declared, “don’t worry, I have some pull with Princess Scorpia.”

Adora couldn’t help but smile at that.

“What’s got you all smiley like that?” Catra asked, leaning closer to her wife as they walked together.

“It’s just…this is our first Princess Prom as a family,” she said, a little teary eyed, “I still can’t believe we got this far. It’s more than I could have ever dreamed of.”

“Well, you better start believing it,” Catra replied, giving her a little kiss on the cheek.

“Ew!” Finn complained, hiding their face so they wouldn’t be forced to see any more disgusting affection from their moms.

The two of them laughed together and Adora was certain that no dream could ever compare to the life she now lived.

Lesson 103: Today I'm celebrating the achievements of a fellow comic book writer and illustrator, (though of course in terms of relative scale, he rates as a god among us mere mortals). On this Free Comic Book Day, expect little-to-no objectivity in my biography of Brian Stelfreeze. Born into a military family that tended to move around, Stelfreeze was exposed to the so-called "lowcountry" coastal South and its Gullah communities (Mount Pleasant, McClellanville, Georgetown, etc.), that managed to preserve more of their African cultural origins than most American Black populations. A comic book fan from a very early age, Stelfreeze didn't seriously consider the idea of one day making a career of such a thing --for a while it seemed as though he would follow his father into Army life, who had become an instructor at West Point.

During his high school years Stelfreeze took a job as an editorial cartoonist for a local paper, which in turn prompted a (necessary) interest in politics and current events. For two summers he worked as an airbrush artist in Myrtle Beach (yes everyone, THAT dude who would airbrush your favorite thrash metal band's logo onto the back of your denim jacket in five minutes). Having mastered the essential zen of quick turnaround time, and with the money earned from this gig, he enrolled at The Art Institute of Atlanta. During his second year, on a whim he presented a portfolio at the prominent Whole Hog Studios. Quite unexpectedly he was offered a starting salary, and at the advice of his own art instructor, left school and took the job.

Stelfreeze's first foray into the comic book world was a short series titled CyCops in 1988. While working on some commercial assignments for a comic book shop in Charlotte, N. Carolina, Stelfreeze knocked off a quick Batman illustration on the premises, which happened to catch the attention of Pat Bastienne, a DC Comics executive. Recommendations followed, and in short order Stelfreeze found himself working on a Batman series with editor Denny O'Neil. Stelfreeze's painted cover art eventually landed him a long run as the principal cover artist on Batman: Shadow of the Bat. Other long-running titles included Marvel’s Domino, and Matador for DC Comics’ Wildstorm imprint.

Stelfreeze was one of the founding members of Gaijin Studios in 1991. He won the coveted Inkpot Award in 2014, and his lush sequential illustrations for Ta-Nehisi Coates's 2016 Black Panther series, "A Nation Under Our Feet," not only won the 2017 Glyph Comics Award for Best Artist, but also directly influenced the style and design of Marvel Studios’ 2018 Black Panther movie. His current project for 12-Gauge Comics is Thomas River, a crowdfunded political/spy thriller.

Permit me to enthusiastically recommend The Signature Art of Brian Stelfreeze:

https://www.amazon.com/Signature-Art-Brian-Stelfreeze/dp/1608864960/

"When you do a single piece of art, you’re really trying to make a statement. But with comics, the thing that keeps me here is actually taking you through a story and knowing that, 'OK, over here, I want you to feel this way. And then here, I want you to feel this way.' And it’s just this little symphony that you’re conducting... ...I want you to understand I’m manipulating you. That’s what a storyteller is supposed to do. They’re supposed to manipulate you. They’re supposed to manipulate your feelings."
