I've never missed @FlameCon, and I don't intend to start now!
Here's a thread of some of the things I'd have at my table, and where you can get them online. First, digital short comics, pay what you think is fair! gumroad.com/ethanmaldridge ... #FCOpenFlame ImageImageImageImage
High quality art prints of my work are available now in my INPRNT shop! I've recently uploaded new ones, so check it out for all of your fantasy needs! inprnt.com/gallery/ethana… ...#FCOpenFlame ImageImageImageImage
My full-color graphic novel series, ESTRANGED, is about a journey of identity, family, and self-discovery through a dangerous faerie underworld. It features queer characters in the main cast, and is available in all fine bookstores now! bookshop.org/contributors/e… ...#FCOpenFlame ImageImageImageImage
Finally, I'd have had at the table a sneak peak at some of the original paintings for my new high fantasy graphic novel THE LEGEND OF BRIGHTBLADE, coming early 2022! Thanks very much, and I can't wait to see you all in person next year! #FCOpenFlame ImageImageImageImage

Several years ago, when things were bad as they are now, I made a comic about art and community in the face of hate. Today feels like a time to reshare. 1/5 Image

This is a really common question, probably because the library/author relationship can seem pretty opaque from the outside. But libraries do benefit authors! A lot! Here’s how-
First, libraries buy their books, often in bulk. Large library systems, like the New York Public Library, buy a LOT of copies of the same book. This can be a huge boost to an author’s quarterly sales report. AND the more a book is checked out, the more copies the library will buy
Second, libraries can keep an authors back catalogue in circulation. Bookstore shelves are limited, so it’s easy to have a book I made just a couple years ago become difficult to find. BUT I still get readers who’ve just read my first ever novel because it was at their library

With everyone excited about The Green Knight, here's a thread on the myth behind it. It's a story about strange games, beheadings, and a lot more gay kissing than you'd expect (spoilers, I guess? For a centuries old story???)
It's New Years Eve, and King Arthur and his court are gathered to celebrate. Everyone's hanging out, probably getting a bit tipsy, and the party is starting to drag. King Arthur asks for a wonder, something marvelous to ring in the new year. That's when the door is kicked in.
A massive, unnatural, green figure rides in on a horse (who in some versions is also green), carrying a really cool axe in one hand and a holly branch in the other. The court is freaked out by this, but the Green Knight insists he is simply there to play a fun holiday game.

A friendly reminder for my fellow freelancers in the US; the recently passed pandemic survival bill extends special Unemployment benefits for freelancers through at least March! It's a tough time for us all, and any help is helpful, so remember to apply if help is what you need.
There's been very little outreach to freelancers during this pandemic to let them know that they could qualify assistance under the new bills. The pandemic is a disruptive force, gigs fall through, deadlines and payments are indefinitely pushed back. Use what help you can get.
If you need a starting point on where to look to apply in your state, here's a helpful guide via @freelancersu: freelancersunion.org/resources/coro…
