PHEW, this released today!! Here's the full image of that sneak peek I posted earlier.
About a month ago, comic writer David Pepose (SPENCER & LOCKE, GOING TO THE CHAPEL) showed up in my email inbox asking if I'd be int...

Recently I was hired to make something PRETTY COOL for something that is VERY COOL by a guy who is EXTREMELY COOL, but I can't share the finished work until it's announced.

I still feel really awful I don't have more goodies to share with you all. Even though next month looks like I'll be busy with work-art that I can't release publicly, I'm going to really focus on trying to create more content for this Patreon!

Hey folks. Thanks so much for sticking with me, even though there hasn't been as much content coming from me as before. Your support makes a huge difference in my life (especially as my partner's begun wracking up some medical expenses and has yet to be able to return to work).

Hey folks! I just saw this on Twitter; I've recommended these before, but Frenden's CSP 800+ brushes that are consistently updated once you purchase them are 35% off right now with the code 35OFF.
I have. A sort of confession to make. I have consciously avoided trying to paint Terry McGinnis in a straight-on shot for YEARS. I did one painting of a straight-on shot that I adored and thought was my magnum opus back in 2014, and it all went downhill from there. Some of my objectively worst Te...

I am not the most qualified/experienced freelancer to be giving advice, but before I made the switch from hobbyist taking fan art commissions to taking on more official client work, I had almost no one to turn to and no resources to help me make that leap, so I thought I'd put together a little b...

Hey folks! I hope this post finds you in good health. I recorded a timelapse video of this photo study of the wrestler Ultimo Dragon, with some (written) notes added about my thought process, brushes, and more along the way!
My main goal was to improve my draftsmanship at the sketching stag...

Hey folks!! I wanted to share this before I forget: a free fully poseable, customizable 3D model (with light sources, perspective, camera movements). It's pretty much my dream 3D tool.

Happy March, patrons! Here's an unfinished throwaway gag comic I started in October that I will 100% never finish. (All the panels are there, I just never finished the art for the final panel.)

A post-show painting I did for Bats in the Ring! I actually had the sketch/thumbnail for this as early as November. Uh. Maybe I'll share it as my casual reminder that I can't draw, I can only paint.
Well, you'll hear it here officially: I will be doing a sequel series to Bats in the Ring that greatly expands the roster of wrestlers. I have a *very* rough script for it written of the plot, but I do know the opening scene is a tag team match featuring the team of
Part 17 and the finale of Bats is the Ring finally landed this week, finally revealing Bats in the Ring was a tag team reunion story all along. I hinted at the tag team angle in the title and trivia for VIGILANTE VENGEANCE, as well as in Terry's wrestling outfit post!
The inspiration for th...

We're pretty much in the final climax of BATS IN THE RING. I'll wax poetic more later, but when I first pitched a batfamily/pro-wrestling mash up to my sister and asked her for movesets for the boys, one of the first things she said back was "Terry gets an Asai moonsault because it's got his [Bat...

Part 14 of Bats in the Ring! You can download the wallpaper size in the dropbox link that just went out, or in the attachment below. I knew from early on, this would be a downwards wide angle shot with, hopefully, a spotlight lighting, although I am still a little surprised it all came together.<...
