What an incredible honor it was to help document @cincinnatiartweek and capture the creativity, passion, and heart that make this city so special

Getting to meet so many talented artists, connect with inspiring individuals, and experience the incredible community that surrounds Cincinnati’s art scene was truly something special. Every conversation, every piece of art, and every moment was a reminder of how much beauty and creativity exist right here in our city.

I love Cincinnati and everything it has to offer. From its vibrant arts and culture to the people who make it feel like home. Being able to witness and document these moments and celebrate the artists is something I’m genuinely grateful for.

My heart is full, and I’m so thankful to have been a small part of something that brought so much creativity, connection, and love to our community. Here’s to continuing to celebrate the artists, the dreamers, and the people who make Cincinnati such a beautiful place to be!
I can't wait for the next Cincinnati Art Week.

@indienorthernkentucky is having an art auction/ party this Saturday Sept 26th to help keep the shop open/ support all that they do. We made this poster for the auction. This piece will be available for auction along with work by Jim Borgman, Carol Tyler, Abby Kacen and more along with many signed editions of books and other goodies. Check it out! @indienorthernkentucky is a great store and the home of the Comics Club that Joe is a part of.

New sign for @shakeitrecords

If it wasn’t clear from the last sign I made for them THEY HAVE BOOKS IN THE BASEMENT!

It was fun doing a portrait of Shake its book-buying wizard Joe Kuth @prestidigitonium78 watching over the basement of books. Joe also picked out a list of his favorite paperback book covers which I printed to use in the sign.

Many thanks to Shake it for the opportunity and to the legendary Justin Green (rest in peace) for bequeathing me the sign man gig which has led to multiple of my favorite sign projects! This sign is a direct reference to a sign of Justin’s that used to hang in the same spot advertising Vinyl (which used to only be in the basement back in the CD heyday!).

I had a lot of fun on this one and tried a lot of new methods to handle the fact that it would be hanging from the ceiling (aka it couldn’t weigh 100 lbs).

Congratulations to this year's Make More Comics Grantee @joewalsh.studio!

Joe Walsh is a multimedia artist based in Cincinnati, Ohio. His (first) self-published comic The Shifting Ground Vol. 1 was featured in The Comics Journal’s Best of 2025 and reviewed positively by The Comics Journal, Ryan’s Four Color Apocalypse, and Living the Line. In addition to comics, Walsh works across printmaking, animation, and freelance design/illustration. His animation work for the documentary film Why We Walk earned him an Ohio Arts Council individual excellence award in 2023. This year's grant will help Joe bring The Shifting Ground Vol. 2 to life.

Upon learning he was the winner of the 2026 grant, Joe said, "It means a lot to know I was selected from such a large and talented group. I saw that you took extra time to pick a winner this year, which made me nervous! I’m honored to have found the joyous outlet that is making comics. It feels like the first true amalgam of all the disparate interests and attempts that I made before it. I’m excited to make more and more and more."

Power Pulp is thrilled to include Joe as the latest addition to its self-publishing collective and distribution model. Power Pulp was established to bring this corner of the comics industry to the forefront and showcase the best of the best. Joe Walsh clearly fits the bill. Keep your eyes on @powerpulpcomics for more info.

This was a challenging year. From first-time cartoonists to Eisner and Harvey nominees, this was the largest and most diverse group of proposals we have ever received. Our judges (@dummyzine, @corinnehalbert, @rachelmasilamani1002, and @omgcow) had their work cut out for them, but they were able to sort through everything during a series of tremendous discussions (intermixed with long periods of reading and decision-making!) I am extremely grateful to them for all of their time and expertise in making this year a success.

To all of you who applied, we are thankful for you as well. The art that you create is worthy of great support. Let us know when your work is published! We will be more than happy to direct our audience to it!

MAKE MORE COMICS!

The journey from ArtWorks to 1001 Colors... As we continue celebrating our first 30 years, we're excited to share a new animated film that brings our story to life by tracing the evolution of an idea that has grown far beyond its beginnings.

Created by former teaching artist and Grammy-nominated Art Director @jasonsnell, and inspired by an original sketch from former apprentice @joewalsh.studio.
