The day after we put the final touches on issues #88-91 of “Swamp Thing”, news broke about the passing of Tatjana Wood, the original colorist on the series. Tomorrow, March 2nd, would have been Tatjana’s 100th birthday. Let’s raise a glass to one of comics’ originals.
Aside from comics I’ve worked on, I’ve never owned a 3-page sequence of original art. But now I do, thanks to @leiladelduca.bsky.social
Check out these 3 pages from the end of Sleepless no. 3 with some great actual from the dual between Sir Cyric & Lord Helder.
Our first ever guest @leiladelduca.bsky.social was recently selling some of their work. So our studio now features an original page from Shutter! Absolutely gorgeous work.

Helioscope is happy to announce that we've relaunched our mentorship program. Our newest mentees are Claire Scott @jcscottart.bsky.social and Emilie Kelly @viewfindercomics.bsky.social. www.helioscopepdx.com/blog/2026/1/...
Thanks everyone! Sale is officially over! Stay tuned while I work through all of your orders. You rock!
Augh! Nevermind! I’m kinda inundated (in a good way) and I think posting to the YouTube might put me over the edge of madness
Really??!! I was on the fence about it but if you think I should, I will. Say it again and I’ll believe it!!
Thanks for spreading the good word, David!!!!
Oooo! The Hellboyverse comic I drew is gonna be in this massive collection! How exciting!
Awe wow! Thanks so much, Jeremy! I’m so jazzed you dug it that much!
Shout out to my studiomates at @helioscopepdx.bsky.social! These are just four of many artists I’m so grateful to have community with. Love you, Team! @stephenpellnat.bsky.social @stevelieberart.bsky.social Matt Bogart and @dylanmeconis.bsky.social
That’s so wild! Over a decade ago! Thanks for reintroducing yourself and sharing this :D
Took one last trip to the Powells Books on Hawthorne and @leiladelduca.bsky.social noticed they highlighted my book with a little blurb! I’m honored 🥹 #LivingHell #DarkHorseComics
I’m happy to report all three of them made it safe and sound. Only a stray speck of pollen scratched Harrison’s leaves, but he’s hanging in there.
I posted another video to the @helioscopepdx.bsky.social YouTube channel: What do our studiomates love about comics? I want to know what YOU love about them, too!

good week for comics on youtube.
The @helioscopepdx.bsky.social youtube channel posted a 30m documentary (with music, lower-thirds, and everything!!) about @stevelieberart.bsky.social & Matt Fraction's really remarkable Jimmy Olsen comic.
The studio looks beautiful.
