Do you hunger? Sure, we all do! At this time of year, we all need to sate our hunger the way Deneuve and Bowie did in "The Hunger": with the blood of the innocent! Nummers! Hanh? What is this "cranberry sauce"? Weird. Give a listen and we'll surely give thanks!

I've been in retail all my adult life. Art never seemed a viable option for making any kind of money. I still make it as often as I can. At least my current job has introduced me to teaching. I do like that a lot.

Ok, here's the cheating version. Because of the way I work, it was easy enough to turn off the head layer, make a new, coyote head and plunk it in. Still valid (?) as it was my original animal.

Taking a break from the comic because the spark just isn't there. When in doubt, do another self portrait. This is just the start. The background is going to be a big thing. But I might also do a 'fursona' version as the head was done separately. Or is that cheating?

Just a reminder, all my comics can be found on my Gumroad store. Most of them are free. "The City Silent" the first half is a $1 only because its file is too big. You can find them here:

Well! Today my cat is suddenly missing one of his canine teeth!! I’m calling the vet tomorrow when they open, but money is super tight for me right now, so if you’ve been eyeing something in my shop or considering getting a comm, now would be a fantastic time to do it!

I've been going through old stuff as I prepare my panel for MFF. I can't believe I didn't post this. Awhile back, I recreated this four page spread from "The City Dreams of Tamino the Cat," which was a major pain. I miss that comic.

Some more old stuff! This was a short comic with a different crow, Crawford, and the spirit of something, the wolf, Cromwell. I forget which collection I did this for but it was fun to do. I tried to go kind of wild with it. And there's the mice being bastards.

It's been forever, but I've been in a very low creative spark ebb lately. And, to be fair, there's a page or two missing between last track and this one. That's what you get when you don't plan ahead of time. :D

That last one got me thinking about an old piece I only posted once under another name. I never posted anything else under that name and I don't think I even have the password for the account. Secret, dark unicorn.

I've been slowly working on the next track for "The City Silent." Sometimes that allows me to wander into something I hadn't seen or had forgotten that will be the key I need to move ahead. In this case, it was seeing classic animation smears. I do love me some smears...

(Click on the thumbnail for all three panels) I was reminded of this comic, "Smart's Journey" recently. It was probably my most 'designed' (over designed?) comic ever. This was made to help me express the grief of losing my mom in 2013.

Ach du Lieber! It's another "Directors in Short Pants" entry and this time it's Robert Rodriguez's first work, "El Mariachi". I'm afraid that app this time, I thought the character's name was "L. Maria Chi". Turns out, I was not entirely correct. Enjoy!
