Hi, Bluesky! I’m Ty— writer, illustrator, colourist for comics and games. I create the webcomic Rising Sand with my creative partner Jenn, and communicate near-exclusively with swear words. Sorry in advance.

💀Read Rising Sand for free!
💸Give me money so I don’t die!

But why choose, right?
Dal from Rising Sand, glaring indignantly at her pen, it having just exploded upon and ruined her drawing in progress. Interpretation of a scene from Thumper, in which the player faces down the game's metaphorical antagonist, the unfortunately-named Crakhed. A drawing of an octopus having a grand old time on a Ski-doo. A promotional image for Rising Sand Act 3, depicting Ro evidently in the thrall of... something.

Sometimes I think about the guy who said he solved the cypher. He never provided any proof—and more damningly had no questions. I really feel like he'd have had some questions.

My Cintiq 22HD Touch just lost one too many ExpressKeys. After a decade of daily service, I'm going to have to research a replacement for my arting screen.

I don't want to go Wacom again if I can avoid it, but if XP-Pen can't perform virtually identically, I may have to. Feel free to share thoughts

There's a Behind the Sand to ring in the new year! Listen, we're very good at being exactly six days fashionably late. Why are you still reading this? Go look at some fresh RS WIPs!

Over the years, many have told me that Rising Sand is one of the most overwrought comics they've ever seen—and generally, that's meant as a compliment.

To them I say: 🔥We're not even the final boss.🔥

The way Alex Jones is almost always glaring blankly into the middle distance during his rants, searching for someone—anyone—to listen, like not even the camera is willing to admit to paying attention.

Hotat looks up from a newspaper—whether into the middle or far distance, none can say, for his eyes glow, inscrutably. They say nipples are the eyes of the face.
