I can’t remember the last time I spammed sketchbook pieces in here. A long while, at least. These are from the past few months.
I am always expreimenting with different shapes, different kinds of characters and character styles, plein air and from reference backgrounds. I’ve pasted everything in here with little care. There are more finished paintings and barely realized scribbles from an assortment of sketchbooks.
A more comprehensive collection of sketchbook pieces and morning warm ups can be found on My Patreon. I usually upload sketchbook work for my free tier, but it is nice when people donate $1.
Sprunkies, Shrooms, and Smoosh
While I pluck away at this graphic novel, making slow but steady progress despite the all encompassing battle I am having with the invading rats that have taken up residence amongst my neighbor's urban chicken flock (this is a post for another day), I am still making time to sketch and pick away at commissions.

Read MoreORCS! The Curse (Volume 2)
in comics
I’m please to say that I have finally completed all of the issue art for ORCS! The Curse. That’s 200 pages written, laid out, inked, and colored since March. In addition to painting four issue covers. It was a lot of work in a short time. Unfortunately, it kept me away from posting issue previews like I did for Volume 1.
So, for the uninitiated, and everyone else wondering What the heck is ORCS!? I wanted to do a post with all if the issue summaries and a small preview.
Read MoreZINES!
There’s a good sized community out there for any kind of zine you can think of, not to mention numerous local and national zine fests where zinesters can gather to trade their books. They have long served the comics community as a way to tell a story that is short and unfettered. Some zines are akin to tiny works of art: riso printed, screen printed, hand bound, and full of fancy papers. Others are quick and dirty fold-ups that serve the purpose of any ephemera, a quick relay of information…
