Spring in the New World

It's was a tough winter, for me and probably for you, living as you do in 2026. I hope you're holding up as well as can be expected. I hope you are taking comforts where you can.

As stressful and downright dumb as These Times often are, it has been comforting for me to sit in the studio most days and create something. Some days it's a reprint of an old zine I liked from my back catalog, some days it's making progress on some new pages of comics, others I might be working with another artist on publishing theirs.

I have also been enjoying expanding my expertise with making prints, and buttons, and stickers, and other paper products. So much so that I've finally gotten off my butt and updated the Out of Register page, where you can buy or download the latest.

I have already been in touch with some artists who are ramping up their publishing for conventions later this year. Hard to say whether or not I will make it to any shows - odds are no at this writing - but I will try to at least to a local pop up or two with an online component. We'll see how it goes.

For now, despite The Times, it feels good to work on a variety of creative projects on my own and with some of you. I'm always happy to hear about more, so don't hesitate to get in touch if you want to submit your comic to the catalog, order some merch for yourself, promote a crowdfund, or something else I'm not thinking of.

Remember to rest, to create, and to feel joy where you can. Thank you as always for your support.

When an inexperienced barista accidentally starts serving mysterious (and possibly mystical) latte art, their co-workers and customers are bewildered. But it isn't easy becoming a beverage celebrity overnight, and the pressure is on to keep pouring impossibly stunning coffees.

"The Usual" is the most recent of five comics by Kate Phillips added to the BRB catalog. It won a 2023 Sequential award.
