About rent*space

rent*space is a periodical newsletter from me, independent comic creator Renton Hawkey.

It’s a companion reader to my comics projects, where I’ll post sneak peeks and behind-the-scenes stuff.

I’ll also post announcements about new projects, merch, or campaigns.

If you want to show your support for me an independent comic creator financially, you can grab a print from INPRNT, or some digital comics or art books from Gumroad.

Lastly, let’s make sure we connect on social. Check out my Linktree here, and follow whatever you like (I’m usually found here on Substack, but I do pop in to Instagram now and again).

Finally, thank you for your support, and I hope you enjoy my work!


Artist’s statement

Here are my principles as an artist. I try to practice them every day.

  • Work for your own pleasure

  • Accept that art is transactional

  • Don’t talk about your intent

  • Stay smaller than the work

  • Draw every day
