@xraylitmag Rated R for gore, sexuality, strong language, adult themes, moderate nudity.

Anyway… I encourage everyone to make comics, regardless of skill level. See ya!

[Michael Seymour Blake @Michael_S_Blake]

From my comic “Our Last Day: A Fish Story, Part 2.”

You’ll be able to find the full comic on instagram in a few weeks, but for now it’s up on XRAY Lit Mag.

[Michael Seymour Blake @Michael_S_Blake]

I’m a sucker for autobiographical vignettes, and these moments (set in the early days of COVID in New York City) are somehow burned into my brain, even though the situation is pretty inconsequential—depending on your perspective.

[Michael Seymour Blake @Michael_S_Blake]

Part 2 of my comic is up at XRAY.

l’m a work-in-progress teacher,. Some days (most days) feel like a struggle.

My long-term goal is to become effective. Until then, I’m trying to focus on helping people move through life with, as Maya Angelou said, some passion, some compassion, some humor, and some style.

[X-R-A-Y @xraylitmag]

Hello

[Michael Seymour Blake @Michael_S_Blake]

For decades, I've lived with a sense of painful longing. Like a part of my psyche knows something is askew, but my conscious mind can't grasp the message. It bubbles up to levels that ignite panic, then settles into an ambient growl, an unknowable call to action. Weird, huh?

[Michael Seymour Blake @Michael_S_Blake]

They're not really uniquely dark and mysterious, they're just talented.
