“BD” refers to Franco-Belgian comics, but let's open things up to include ALL Euro comics and GN's. Euro-style artistry from around the world is also welcome. ^^

-BD = "Bandes dessinées"
-BDT = Bedetheque
-GN = graphic novel
-LBK = Lambiek
-LC = "Ligne claire"

The designated language here is English, with a traditional bias towards French, followed by other Euro languages.

I'm imagining the title here being "Going for a new tattoo?," based on the sign. It's by German cyberpunk artist Puia, who runs Baka Arts. As of the moment it doesn't look like he's doing any BD, but I think he'd be a great fit.

There's loads more of his cool LC-style stuff at his Instagram. Note: the entry link below doesn't need you to be logged in to see the images.

So, I'm currently finishing up a small project to look through every migrated post here, deleting where necessary, but mostly adding 'flair,' which you should be able to see on the sidebar. When I'm done, you'll be able to hit any of those buttons and see a curated list of matching posts.

Still a few things to do before I feel like this place is 'up to speed' after the move, but it's getting closer and closer. One annoying problem is that almost every inter-community link that's been posted here which once worked, is now broken, and even as the same community runner, I can't edit them except to add flair. Perhaps this is a feature that will one day be added across the Fediverse, though?

Anyway, the biggest blow of course remains the loss of almost 1200 subscribers, meaning we're somehow right back to where we started from in needing to get this place more exposure, some how, some way. Sort of ironic I guess, in that August 1st will mark our two-year anniversary. 🥴

Thanks for reading, and have a nice weekend, everyone. ^^

Thanks! IIRC I hit up the 3rd, but didn't know about the first two. Adding...

Actually... @Sergio@slrpnk.net, amigo, compa, et al , could you possibly, maybe mention us across those first two links, please?

There is just so much to take care over here, at the moment. And burning myself out accomplishes nothing positive IMO.

Oh man, pardon the late reply, and thank you so much, compa! <3

I like how you picked out a fun representation of images to draw people in. Well done, matey. 🙂

yeah sure no problem!
