THREE CHEERS FOR THE OPALESCENT GHOST!!! I LOVE THIS SO MUCH!!! And I'm willing to bet that I am far from the only person here who is content to stay ready and will be delighted to be occasionally ambushed by Tina and her Ghost whenever they decide to pop up out of a trap!

Hurray! And thank you! I’m sitting here as surprised as anyone. I thought I’d do my first issue in a couple of weeks maybe but nope, the directive jumped up for today. I haven’t even eaten BREAKFAST

I love it. More please, but only whenever it strikes you. I also love the "Horrible Child" marketing campaign. It does seem somewhat brilliant at building buzz if people were indeed so peeved about things 😂. peeved = buzzed ... at least in my mind, lol.

So glad, Alisa, thank you! and I wish I could get my hands on those drawings and frame them, frankly, as, like, anti-trophies.

Look, all I'm gonna say is that when I think of Tina Rowley's work I think COMPELLING, and that applies across all her endeavors. So maybe just like, trust that and lead with it?

Thank you, Alicia! I will...tell her you said so (and we appreciate it!)

hahahahaha i love OG

I recently got back into this web-comic I used to read back in the aughts (one of only 2 web comics I've ever read semi-religiously), and one of the panels I still think about on a regular basis has a character driving a van of some sort, high af, and saying to no one in particular "being in trouble is a fake idea" and *this* reminds me of *that*

(it's Achewood, that's the comic)

BEING IN TROUBLE IS A FAKE IDEA 💘

Achewood! O the honor. Hot damn.

(So glad you dig it, Turbs!)

What a fun ride! I laughed out loud as the marketing director’s career ended abruptly. I also do my best to create what pleases me, but wow...so hard to maintain at times. I appreciate the inspiration!

It really is strangely difficult to maintain! You’d think that doing things that please us would be an eternal piece of cake but no.

Glad you’re along!

To get something whenever it wants to land in my inbox and I don't know what it'll be till it arrives and the only rule is that it isn't painful to create . . . I mean. Yes, please. xoxo

This was so lovely I couldn't stop reading it first thing in the morning. Stumbled on a few things in the darkness of my living room doing so, but worth it. I'm following your OG closely, cos I think I've been spooked by it before and maybe, just maybe, getting to know yours will make me less afraid of mine. Kudos to letting this come out!

Tina Rowley's avatar

Ah, Nick, this is so wonderful. Thank you! I fully get being a little spooked by the sense of presence and left-fieldy promptings of one’s possible OG. That you’re joining me in a little maybe-we-won’t-be-too-scared-after-all experiment makes me ultra glad.

As per usual, fucking brilliant. I mean, how many times do we have to tell you that we will (want, beg) to read anything you’re willing to put out in the world?!
