It’s finally here!
You can now buy the trade paperback of ARCHAIC, about a badass single mom who’s put in charge of a sentient island and its mythological Inhabitants. Come for the Mesopotamian goddess of the dead, stay for the 9-yr-old who saves the day w/birdwatching skills.

I know, just paying tribute to the forgotten soldiers. Those hunched over their computers, working away…probably haven’t seen their families in months.

Comic creators: instead of always saying “THE NEWS IS OUT!” When posting your NYCC announcements, try some new sayings like, “PayDirt!” Or “Hot Dog!” Or “Boy Howdy Look What’s Coming to Town!” or “Isn’t That A Dandy!” Or

Think of the real heroes, still fighting, with no NYCC announcements.

Freelancers hearing projects they aren't involved with being announced at NYCC.

Ok another hint. I’m working with people whose names rhyme with Kill Jester, Feather And Toes, and…uh…Lee Loughridge.

Every direct market single issue comic book i’ve drawn since 1998. These aren’t variant covers. All 22-page comics. Thanks to everyone who has hired me, and all collaborators. If you need a book drawn in 2026, let me know. I work for money only. (Not pictured: two straight-graphic novels)

I forgot to tell everyone that i’ll be attending my local show next weekend at the Fairgrounds, Oct.11-12 MNCBA Fallcon. I almost never show my face in public so this is a rare occurrence. Want to order a small sketch to pick up? Just let me know.

Not for $10 shipping, sorry. I would probably need $30 shipping for any international.
