JLG gold standard selection
I'm excited to share that my upcoming graphic novel, "Monstrous: A Transracial Adoption Story" is a Junior Library Guild Gold Standard Selection. Thank you for this honor, Junior Library Guild and thank you for this opportunity, First Second Books!
I created this TMNT piece for the Hero Initiative auction, which was held at Baltimore Comic Con in October! Thank you to everyone who showed up to their auction. I'm pleased to share that this piece (the original inks + a single color print which was made only for the auction) went for $400 and the money all goes towards Hero Initiative's fund to help comic creators in need. Thanks, Hero Initiative, for the opportunity to participate, and I hope the winning bidder enjoys the piece!
New York comic con
I'll be attending NYCC to promote TMNT Saturday Morning Adventures #1! In addition to participating in the IDW Publishing TMNT panel on Friday, Erik Burnham and I will be signing copies of the comic Friday at St. Mark's Comics in Brooklyn from 8-10pm, and then again Saturday at the IDW Publishing Industry Booth #2557 from 2-3pm.
For more info, here's IDW's listing of events.
Monstrous Cover reveal
Now I can share my cover for my upcoming graphic memoir, Monstrous: A Transracial Adoption Story, which goes on sale June 27, 2023! You can see a few preview pages and pre-order it on Macmillan's website here.
Book details from Macmillan: A poignant young adult graphic memoir about a Korean-American girl who uses fandom and art-making to overcome racist bullying. Perfect for fans of American Born Chinese and Almost American Girl!
I'm Officially a TMNT artist!
Truly a dream come true. I'm excited and thankful to be part of the IDW Publishing team on the upcoming "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Saturday Morning Adventures" comic series. I'm the interior colorist for all issues on the series, but pictured to the left is my variant cover for issue #3 (Cover C), which will be available in December! And I'll be at DragonCon in Atlanta (table 402) Labor Day weekend to promote this and my other work. Follow me on instagram/twitter @smyercomics for more updates!

I'm excited to announce my YA Graphic Memoir, Monstrous, will be published 2023 from First Second Books. I'll be sharing some art leading up to the release. All I'll say at this time is that the story has some whimsical elements that I think will speak to anyone who loves cartoons, comics, and anime! It is unabashedly nerdy and I'm so grateful that the team at First Second gave me so much freedom to incorporate the things that have always ignited my dreams.
