Am I a bad influence to my cat if I sing I’m Your Pusherman while giving her drugs? (prescription for her thyroid)

Book covers used to be so daunting, but now the design and illustration feels like a natural part of the process when publishing our books

My brother and I are bad at marketing our ebooks, but we really neglect our paperback catalog🫠 Anyway, we bundled them up to sell in our shop. The first 6 books, a bookmark, sticker, and a go-bag to pack it all up. shopmanningbrothers.com/products/the...

The most obvious and self explanatory video. And I can’t get enough 😂🤣 youtu.be/O3AoS0qK7z8?...

Been a few months since I did some art with traditional media. Got o hang out with some art friends and chat too. #werewolf #traditionalart #artists #sketchbook #halloween

10-year-old me would be so thrilled to learn that, as an adult, two of my most used kitchen appliances are Ninja brand. But that me would probably as if the instructions came folded as a paper shuriken.

I’m a fan of “Buddy” action and comedy. Lethal Weapon, The Heat, The Last Boyscout, Predator: Badlands (it counts!)… We like them so much, we wrote a whole trilogy to capture the feel of Buddy cop movies. The Scott Maverick THRILLOGY, is packed with action!! Muscles, mustaches, and mayhem!

Obviously Frankie knows what he’s talking about. You should heed his warning if you pick up our books.

My wife and I finished the final season of The Bear. What a show!

Showing the SKIP INTRO button during the X-Men ‘97 opening credits is bad UI/UX

Everyone knows the best part about making eggs for breakfast is crushing the shells in your raised fist, like Doctor Doom cursing Reed Richards… But did you know that eggs are also a really good source of protein?

The full moon is coming (6 days). Are you prepared to take on the werewolves, or are you convinced you’ll be ready at showtime? It doesn’t hurt to do a little extra studying www.amazon.com/Blood-Rad-Mo...

When we wrote the John Stone action thriller series, we created four final boss characters throughout the books. Their names are Windham, Blanchard, Anderson and Flair. youtu.be/YXaZIr2izwo?si

Bad Photoshop has been replaced by mediocre AI slop, and that makes me a little sad. Do people still make ‘shopped memes?

Thank you for all your support and pledges for @b7comics.bsky.social Dan Dare: First Contact graphic Novel Kickstarter campaign! We are so close to hitting another funding milestone and making @alexdecampi.bsky.social very happy :) Find the campaign here www.kickstarter.com/projects/798...

Finally opened one of my Tombow two-packs to ink this Rhea Ripley sketch (shaded with Copic markers). I think I bought those brush pens 3 or 4 years ago. They gasped for air when the cardboard backing tore away. Anyway, I think I like how they feel, but I’m way out of practice with really real ink.

We’re continuing our podcast tour with an appearance on Heys Wolfenden’s What! The Heys podcast. We had fun discussing the process of writing and the world of indie publishing www.buzzsprout.com/1021147/epis...

This has been her go to sleep position for a couple of weeks now.

Whew I uploaded the final draft for book 10 in our flagship action thriller series. You can preorder Violence of Action, a John Stone action thriller today! www.amazon.com/Violence-Act...

How new/old is Pickleball? I went for a walk this morning and saw that the city is expanding the park by building a pretty large Pickleball complex (like 12 or so courts). Is this gonna be my new hobby??

Our writing is obviously inspired by movies. But what most don’t realize is that all of our books (much like my art) also draw heavily from pro wrestling. The wild action, scathing promos, and more importantly, building the heat properly to keep you turning the page!

We used to make fake rap CD covers, heavily inspired by the legendary Pen and Pixel. For Christmas, my brother gave me some Steam gift cards tucked in an old cassette tape case, with this as the cover liner 😂🤣

How much sweeter would Predator have been if Dutch had a mullet?

Taking my car in for an emissions test... Technician: You passed Me: Awesome, we didn't even study. Technician: ... Me: You probably-- Technician: Cash or card?

I like digital art… but I love drawing with pencils. It’s my comfort medium. #sketch #art #ArtSky

The Shogun… of Harlem!

Alright, I’ll gladly take the heat for this… AI has ruined Bigfoot documentaries. Janky CG was bad enough, but now all of the stories are accompanied by AI ‘squatch slop. Gone are the days of blurry photos, 2-second clips repeating several times, and the legendary artist renditions.

Photoshop using @davegreco.bsky.social brushes. This was fun, but staring at the reference photo for that long was less fun lol
