The battle rages!
Page 4 is the final page and I had to make sure that a preview post didn’t spoil any surprises. I will post the finish when William gets to it. These collaborations are a lot of fun, but also an exercise in patience: William usually has something more pressing to be workin...
Mike gave me a few ideas to choose from, and being a big Logan’s Run fan I chose Gregory Harrison as Logan (he played him in the short lived tv series), but with a few particulars that I think I managed to get i...

Oh man time was spent researching the interior of a trapeze artist school, which surprisingly, there are more than one in NYC.
If I could go back I would change these motion lines, they don’t work for me now.
This character I got to design myself. Only direction was that he be a y...

So…
… I wasn’t feeling the options for the rest of the shop sticker set, after the first one (Incubus). I guess that’s one reason I didn’t settle on a logo image for the shop and kept trying new ones. I...

Hey there, William and I will be tabling at the Art Center College of Design in Pasadena tonight for a showing of the documentary “No Straight Lines”, and William will be on a panel afterwards. We will also have a table selling comics and such.
It starts at 6. 2023-11-13 20:51:27 +0000 UTC View Post
There’s a number of songs in this comic, I don’t know any of them.
Like I said before, all of the main characters are based on real people, real sex workers. This one was the only one at the time who wanted to remain anonymous, which is a weird move in this situation, lol. I found it k...

Here’s the November sticker! I used this design for some business cards after the incubus design (see last month’s sticker) and considered signage of it but ultimately didn’t because of a hard drive failure where I lost this work file. It was the only thing I lost (that I know of) in the gr...

Here’s a quick piece of “fan art”. We watched a film called “Wer” last night. The story was good (for the most part), but the filmmaking was unpolished, let’s say, lol. At least it was entertaining, and the monster was memorable. A take on werewolves (did they really think we wouldn...

Another page in the office—- one thing I like to do that isn’t standard in comics is make each page its own thing. I don’t, if I can, jump from scene to scene in on one page, I like to change scenes between pages. I think this maybe comes from being an illustrator, and from posting a page a...

Hey it’s the October round up post! A couple of new pages, a pin up poster, and some posts if work previously unposted due to contractual obligations. That last batch will continue, but since I am done moving out of my shop, it’s back to producing new pages.
November will see:
Hey here’s the promo one pager I was working on. I’m going to break it up into a slideshow for instagram… we’ll see how well the tall panel works split in two. I think it would work well if you could scroll down, but insta doesn’t work that way.
Man I struggled with this at the end,...
These pages are pretty good considering how I rushed through them. I was also fairly new to using Clip Studio. I see a lot of things I would like to have another pass on, but for what it is, I like it.
A new Feral page (date night) goes up tomorrow, along with a road map for November!

These people all had general descriptions, except James (gay Bono, as said previously) and the two men who kiss James, whom I got to draw whatever I wanted. So the six to either side of James (his office employees) had names and descriptions in the script, but weren’t said to be based on actual...

So in addition to the poster advertising the upcoming “draw you in” story I posted the other day, I’m finishing up a one-pager that does the same thing… promotes the story and the patreon. With the shop closed,...

I’m deep into closing my tattoo shop for the rest of the month! I will strive to get a new page up in the midst of this, probably a one pager based around this image, a promotion for the upcoming Feral story that will feature all my Patrons due a “draw you in” appearance.

This page introduces a character who isn’t one of the main 5, but the driving event of the first issue revolves around. He was described to me as a “gay Bono”, lol.
This is the first page (other than the splash I first shared) where I used NYC reference. I had never been at the time,...

I’ve already given a few out in person, I’ll be getting the rest ready to send out.
As far as the Incubus sticker goes, y’all haven’t given me a resounding consensus on which version to use, lol. I think I will do a mock up of a few versions and put it up to a poll. A split order i...

This is a disturbing dream I had recently. It’s pretty self-explanatory. It was a lot more graphic, but I didn’t really want to draw that. The effect is the same without.
This set for the last quarter of 2023 I am going to use artwork I made to promote my tattoo business/shop, since it is closing down for good in a few weeks.
This Incubus design I had used on shirts, signage, business cards… it started out as a gender swap of the traditional “hellbound...

Looking back on things I hadn’t hand lettered, I really wish I had… but I wasn’t getting paid enough to do it here for sure. As it is I had to talk the writer out of doing different fonts and text sizes for every word balloon, which would have been very chaotic. It might seem like a fun and...

Hey everyone, the next few days William and I are at a conference at UC Santa Cruz, where my hot bf is on a panel representing queer horror in comic books. I don’t think I will have time to work on drawing much, I may do some, but I will probably be doing some much needed writing.
So in ...

Okay, so here’s the deal. I haven’t forgotten the “draw you in” reward, I just have been aware that there haven’t been story opportunities for it lately… and coming up aren’t many, either, unless someone would want to be a ghost or a demon, since that’s where stray bullet/dinosaur...

I should gather all my satyrs in one place, lol. My first year tattooing a client gave me a resin statue of a Satyr with a big boner, which I still have. I had always been a mythology buff, but this was my introduction to the randy satyr, which was a big part of its lore up until modern times, wh...
