Bump / Update
5 years ago
Hey folks! What crazy times, eh? Obviously, there are no cons coming up for awhile and the few that are still on the schedule are kind of iffy. I miss seeing folks and look forward to when we can all get together again.
That said, while bumping old journals off the top of the stack, here's a few updates:
Badges
No con pick-up badges for awhile, naturally. But I'm still open for mail-order badges, if you need one for some reason. https://cooner.johntoons.com/badge/
Digital Portfolios
I recently created a Payhip store and have uploaded digital versions of the little growth mini-folios I printed a few years ago, so if you missed out on them then or want high-quality digital copies now, there you go! I'll be adding more old portfolios in time and, hopefully, adding some new ones soon. https://payhip.com/CoonerArts
Patreon
I've been ramping up my Patreon for a few months now. It's comics-focused, including a brand new weekly comic strip you can get early access to for a couple dollars a month (I'll be publicly announcing that one in the next few days); and and at higher tiers, you can get early/exclusive access to larger comic projects. Check it out if you wanna. https://www.patreon.com/cooner
The World
I know the news has been relentless lately, but I still do feel it's important to be honest and speak your truths. If it's not been clear, I wholeheartedly believe Black Lives Matter, and LGBTQ+ Rights and Trans Rights are Human Rights; I support and equality and justice for everyone. I oppose white supremacism, racism, anti-immigrant and anti-Muslim stances and the like. I know that sounds like an alphabet soup of virtue signaling, but really it comes down to this: Every person is valid, and the world is a better place when we accept and support each other. If you disagree, if you honestly think white people are superior or are somehow being shackled by minorities … well, that's your business, but I'm both sad at your lack of empathy and ability to see what goes on in the world, and if you cause harm to other people because of that, then I'm pissed off.
That said … Everyone hang in there, keep safe and healthy (remember there's a pandemic still going on), and I hope to see y'all in person someday soon! <3

And it has been crazy, it really has. I honestly just wish all of us could get along and find a way to make a better world for everyone, together.
