Pesto Comics

Description

Welcome to Pesto Comics! I’m Adriano Ariganello, a Toronto-based writer and publisher. I spent years in film school (the building is now a pizza restaurant, which feels poetic) before pivoting to the world of indie comics. With 20+ years of storytelling experience, I’m here to document the reality of being a "middle-aged" creator balancing the craft of writing with the business of publishing. What You’ll Find Here: The Creator Mindset: Honest reflections on productivity, burnout, and the creative life. Kickstarter Strategy: Real-world tactics from my successfully funded campaigns. Technical Craft: Behind-the-scenes look at comic lettering and script-to-page production. The Publishing Journey: Practical advice for authors and indie comic creators. 📅 When to Watch: Thursdays (Weekly): New long-form deep dives into the comic industry and craft. Daily Shorts: Quick-hit insights and "real talk" every day.
