I make comics and graphic novels. Today, I’m tir I make comics and graphic novels. Today, I’m tired. 😔 If a book is written, does it make a sound in the universe if it’s not read? 🧐 Do comics have life beyond the panels if they are not seen by anyone? 🤔 Editors, publishers, artists, writers, creatives, readers, is anyone out there? 🤯📚 Telling these stories feels like shouting into the void while continuing to create when no-one chooses to listen. 🌌😅 Sometimes I can’t hear myself think over the sound of my own sad violin. 🎻🎶 ===== Art by: @johannamation Letters by: @lynotttj ===== #graphicnovels #comics #artists #publishing #kidlit

Cosmic confusion in our comic! ☄️😵‍💫 I Cosmic confusion in our comic! ☄️😵‍💫 I like how expressive this panel is. 🤨 I think the tone of the dialogue really comes through in the art of the characters and the lettering. ⭐️ It feels like a good time to be inspired to create stories where outer space is vibrant, diverse, fun, and exciting rather than bleak and dystopian. 🧑‍🚀🚀 Not that I don’t enjoy a thrilling science fiction book, I’ve just been leaning into whimsy lately! 🛸🌀 ===== Art by: @johannamation Letters by: @lynotttj ===== #comics #artists #childrensbookillustrator #museumoftheuncanny #verybigcomics #graphicnovels #kidlit #kidlitartist #makecomics #indiecomics #indiecomicsartists #scificomic #sciencefiction #sciencefictioncomics #graphicnovelartists #indiecomicscommunity #originalcomics #originalcomicart #comicartist #comicartists #comicsanthology #childrensbooks #childrensbookart #comicbookartistsofinstagram #independentcomiccreators #indiecomicslove #comiclettering #smallcomics #comicpanels #comicstorytelling

This alien from our short comic has a small part, This alien from our short comic has a small part, but a big personality! 😄 Really enjoyed the design and the expression brought to the character by the artist. 🎨 I recently watched Project Hail Mary and have had aliens on the mind ever since. 👽 It’s so cool to see unique and creative takes on what life on other planets and elsewhere in the universe might look like, especially in a story that involves humans. 🛸 ❓ Do you have a favourite fictional alien? 👾 ===== Art by: @johannamation Letters by: @lynotttj ===== #comics #indiecomics #museumoftheuncanny #comicsanthology #verybigcomics #makecomics #astronauts #astronautartwork #aliens #alienartwork #shortcomics #comicartistsofinstagram #artistsoninstagram #sciencefictioncomics #sciencefictioncomic #childrensbookillustrators #graphicnovelart #spacecomics #spacecomic #outerspace #comicartists #comicartworks #kidlitartists #kidlitartistsoninstagram #kidlitgn #comicwriters #comicartistlife #sequentialartist #smallcomicartist #smallpresscomic

I’ve been so captivated by the NASA Artemis II l I’ve been so captivated by the NASA Artemis II lunar flyby mission over the past couple of weeks! 🌖🥰 To celebrate, I wanted to share some outer space artwork from my short comic "Spooky Action at a Distance" 🚀, which was published in a comics anthology last year. I’m still very proud of this story. ☺️ The companion to that book is now on Kickstarter, so take a look if you’d like to read more indie comics from the Museum of the Uncanny. 🔭 ❓ Anyone recognise this famous astronaut? 😅 ===== Art by: @johannamation Letters by: @lynotttj ===== #indiecomics #comics #artemisii #sciencefictioncomics #sciencefictioncomic #verybigcomics #museumoftheuncanny #nasa #nasaartemis #nasaartemisii #astronauts #astronautartwork #astronautart #makecomics #comicbooks #indiecomiccreators #comiccreators #outerspaceartwork #comicsanthology #graphicnovelart #graphicnovels #comicartworks #comicwriters #comicartistsofinstagram #childrensillustrators #kidlitartists #graphicnovelartists #spacecomics #outerspace #artistsoninstagram
