My art in your inbox.

HALMAIL is a weekly newsletter where I share autobiographical comics and write about art supplies & how they unlock creativity. That’s a ballpark description. I’m not going to force this newsletter to be any one thing, or any two things. I want my newsletter to be a sincere extension of myself, whatever form that takes.

HALMAIL comes out on Tuesdays and is free. I hope it makes your life better and even inspires you to make art and try a new pen.

HALMAIL faves:

Doing bad, drawing anyway

The pen that started it all

Nora loves her belly button

My most embarrassing moments

So you’re having twins

Thanks for being here,

❤️ Hal
