CCS Talk slideshow

I did a talk for students at the Center for Cartoon Studies last week, and thought I'd share the slides with you! The talk was on long-term comic projects, and was about an hour long-- some of the stuff on the slides came with verbal explanation and isn't written down, so if anyone wants some cla...

Meek Short pg 2

"right in front of my salad?"

I spent a lot of time on that middle panel (started it in early March), I like it.

This page should have been up Friday, oops. I1) wanted to see if I could push my bg further than I did in the last page and 2)  am learning that maybe my 8+ year old C...

Meek Short pg 1

First page of a Meek short prologue comic I'll be posting exclusively on Patreon for now, about two BIG siblings who do not care for each other. This comic takes place about a year before Chapter 1 begins. It'll probably about 10 pages, next page up Friday; the rest of the short will be for Patre...

Chapter 3 recap

Chapter 6 is begun, and comic updats are back in general. Thought I'd draw up a little recap to summarize the arc so far. There is... some actual overarching plot (just a teensy little war) in addition to the character introductio...

WIP for a thingy

Working on an illo for one of several Thingys I have due this month, this one is for an upcoming volume of the Almost Real zine. I'm trying to mimic a Zoobooks spread, had to drag my old issues from the 90's out of the closet to take a look, that stuff ages real well.

I haven't digitally pa...

Mare Internum End page 3

My favorite page :']

Pretty self-explanatory, I suppose. A horrid bluethrip and the true hero of our story, LEVi, start a new generation of Martians... these a promising shade of green?

LEVi was designed to be gold because (in my head, not really laid out in the story) the Processor u...

Mare Internum End page 2

Mike... lol. He's fine now. He went back to Earth and is effectively retired, he does some grueling outdoorsy stuff like long-distance hiking as much as possible, and gives talks here and there out of boredom. He has a failed therapy dog named Levi II who was too excitable to pass training, but i...

Patron-only auction ends tomorrow~

Just a reminder that this double-pin auction ends tomorrow! I'll be putting up listings for 2 more pins (as 2 separate auctions) right after this one finishes, but those will be open to whims and fancies of the public-a...

Mare Internum End page 1

I decided to end the book with 3 "what's next" illos because I knew there would be some readers who would be mad not having certain things spelled out explicitly (like, if so-and-so lived or not, etc). At least online I can get yelled at and be coy and play games and whatever, lol, but books are ...

Secret auction

Trying something new! In addition to a holiday store sale, I'm doing a small auction for Patrons only. I have a few pins of each design left over and have been trying to find a way to get rid of them fairly, since I d...
