Unfortunately it looks like we won’t be hitting the preorder minimum for these hats unless we get some more orders!

So if you’re interested in a leafcutter ant hat or are considering holiday gifts, please preorder! 🐜🌿

Available below ⬇️

Things aren't looking super great right now, so if you have any art you need done, I'm very available. I've worked with Ahoy, IDW, Legendary, Oni, Image, and plenty of amazing indie writers. My portfolio is down below.

Canadians – If you have some time this long weekend, fill out this godawful government survey on AI, which itself seems to have been written by AI trained exclusively on buzzword-laden LinkedIn posts.

Canadians: The federal government is seeking public input on how AI should be developed and used in business, research, and the military.

Verselva Blues release count down: 5 Days to go

Charlie's an antagonist/occasional ally. He refuses to call Balfour a friend until after they part ways.
Ermin is a talking stoat and a world of trouble. He attaches himself to Charlie and they remain friends until their deaths.

Portrait of man snarling man baring his light blue fangs. He has long black to blue ombre hair. Yellow and orange beads dot the locks and he stares at the viewer. He wears a black shirt with green and red triangle patterns and pine trees. A black dotted tattoo is on the shaved part of his head.

Drawing of a red and white stoat sitting on its haunches with it's mouth open.

Terms of Service, by @cielpierlot.bsky.social (pub by @angryrobotbooks.bsky.social) is an excellent blend of science fantasy that touches a theme that each day is more relevant, and a complex and nuanced main character.

Been dipping my toes into the various social media platforms as I slowly get back to the authoring and reading life. I still feel most at home here. Met more readers on Threads, but it seemed too toxic overall. Let's not even talk about Twitter. IG's too high effort with graphics, TT with videos.
