12-Inch Bonus Comic - "Scrimmage"

12-Inch Comic - Bonus Strip #3A - Final(?)

Made some tweaks...

In the closet with: Chad

I've done so many drawings of Chad - I can never decide on his chin... 

P: Works & Days - Sketches

I try real hard to not just draw for drawing's sake. I mean, I do - but I just try not to do it a lot. I believe if you have a story to tell, you should draw that story - you'll get farther that way.

12-Inch Comic WIP - Bonus Strip #2A

I'm finding the most best/challenging thing about the new 12-Inch comics is exactly how much of a dumb himbo to make Matt.

This is one of those ruffs where I can't tell which is my favorite panel...

This is a WIP.

In the closet with: Matt

I've been draining my reference files. Trying to fine tune some character design stuff but also make some final decisions on costumes. I will not be making the same choice I have previously where the characters wear different things every time but I will figure out at least 2-3 looks for each cha...

P: Works & Days - Hero - WIP

This is the beginning of a project longtime in the making. It's going to be very challenging and I question if its even realistic but I've just gotta try.

This sketch makes this city look a lot more sci-fi than it actually is...

12 Inch Comic WIP - Bonus Strip #1A

A million years ago I had this bad idea that was contingent on Matt's cock being a "joystick". I decided to resurrect that idea into something more aligned to my vision of the characters now - in design and concept.

This is a ruff WIP.

Sometimes I wonder if I like the hairy chest a...

November 2022

Here is the link to some work and sketches from November.  

A couple of the pieces are older but were in the same folder and I was too lazy to dig aro...

New Lamps for Old

I have a hard time getting rid of old ideas, so I decided to use them as inspiration for some short 12-Inch stories. 

Taking a Break

Taking a break for summer to evaluate if Patreon is worth the energy.
I am pausing payments during this time - enjoy your summer.

Jockstrap Academy - Nate Work

Got some notes on my Jockstrap Academy script that has had me reeling and trying to re-stack the whole pilot.

Ramble Time, pt. 03

So, what does one do when they feel like they have a handful of good ideas and like, a quarter of the time needed to execute them? I wish I knew. But one thing I remind myself more and more frequently these days is that if I don't have a story, all the reference and all the sketches and all the m...

Ramble Time, pt.02

I tend to think of every one of my projects as two projects because - as a former animator, I'm obsessed with model packs. For those of you who are unfamiliar a model pack is just a bunch of information on how to draw a character. Do's and Dont's, mouth shape charts, head sizes, etc. 

...

Ramble Time, pt.01

My big problem in life is too many projects - which is a good problem to have, but can be paralyzing if you struggle with time management, maintaining momentum and the feeling of perfectionism that plagued me in my younger days.

Anyways, I've been trying to pull my shit together and at le...

Best Looks - Abel Boddy #415

Not exactly one of Howard's iconic looks, but one that I remember conceiving while at a dance party at the Highland Ballroom back in 2010. I was looking for a way to make Howard and Corey more of a couple and I took a "based on a true story" approach - and while I've never cut up someone I like w...

We all knew it was coming... - A 12-Inch WIP

This is the part of the movie where I try to figure out that one panel that pulls the rest together...

Cart before the Horse...

We all try to draw a poster for our ideas without finishing the actual designs, right?

Trying to catch an 80's movie poster vibe for this Jockstrap Academy hero image.

A, B or C? - 12 Inch Sketches

Still not loving Matt's chin, so I'm going to try pulling his cheekbones back, rounding out his jaw and... I'm leaning towards option A and B on the chin...?

I have this vision for the guy's apartment that is built on "3 people live here":

Leo keeps a clean home with well preserved o...

Fashion - Sketchbook

I've had these ideas for a very specific look for this project and I've decided to finally put my money where my mouth is and try to execute it. I made these paper doll templates and pulled out the reference to pore over. The plan is to keep pushing the clothing and character designs until they g...

Comb it Over - a 12-Inch WIP

I spent some time reference comb overs and now Cornhole has this sorta flyaway thing happening that reminds me of Terpsichore in Disney's Hercules. I'll keep working on it so it really reads "comb over".

We Love a Short King - sketches

Sometimes, you start working out a new character for no reason. This is Carlos and he's "a short king, with bulbous pecs, short soccer shorts that hug his muscular legs and a pronounced unavoidable bulge." His last name is probably something like; Pinga Del Grande or Del Grande Cabron. What he la...

Greco-Roman Sketchbook

While digging through some old sketchbooks I found a bunch of studies from a mythology project that I've been noodling with for a while. I am very intrigued by the idea of costumes that look both very modern but also very greco-roman. 

Best Looks - Abel Boddy #307

A comic about a gay guy with a guardian angel gives you lots of opportunities for ridiculous stories and this is something I always wanted to exploit. In this quick storyline from 2010, Howard refuses to jump on the gay bandwagon with a new summer fashion trend: The Pollyboy Mantote - and since h...

Scary Questions - a 12-Inch WIP

Apparently my interest in composing comic pages has shifted to just figuring out a single panel at a time. I guess this is helpful while trying to nail down new character designs but I worry it won't make any sense when I put the panels together - and what of the font point size and bubble placem...
