Anyway! My new comic, Paper Shells is releasing next year. Here's the teaser!

It's about a trans woman trying to get tenure while her relationship falls apart, and also, there's a werewolf.
A teaser for my comic Paper Shells. Some werewolf teeth frame an engagement ring that floats over a pine forest. The comic is launching May 6th 2026! Lots of quotes from it float around the composition.

A black and white comic panel with screenstones. A gruff wolf with tufts on their ears says "Don't be dramatic. I'm sure it's less than 50."

another thing done for the song week thing i do with my dnd group. the song is about how fashion doesn't make you happy, but the piece is about how happy i am now that i have a style of dress i like. but most of this outfit is thrifted so.
A rough marker and pen drawing of me (a hairy white dude with glasses and a flat cap) with my back facing the camera. I'm wearing hot pink shorts and a linen shirt with many different colors: pink, green, yellow, orange, blue. I'm smiling slyly.

I actually did this a while back for that Song Week thing I do with my dnd squad. Yes I picked the song. I will force my besties to listen to Clarence Clarity any chance i get
A digital drawing. A white man with graying hair and a sly smirk is separated by a diagonal bar from a grey wolf with tufted ears, also smiling sinisterly. The man is swishing a wine glass, out of which flows bright red wine, while the wolf has bright red blood dripping from its jaws. The background is abstract and surreal, and the characters are shaded with pink and blue screentones. Text on the screen reads "think i could fool you/cuz i have to/and i want to" with more text attributing it "Those Who Can't, Cheat-Clarence Clarity"

A screenshot of my documents folder showing several pdfs I exported from InDesign last night. They are all minutes apart and named things like "GOOD LORD HELP ME" and "PLEASE ANYTHING" as well as "No Honeymoon ACTUALLY"

He’s dishwasher safe, he’s uv resistant, he tells you to indulge your worst impulses, and he’s popular with cats.

I didn’t say a name, but he popped into your head anyway, didn’t he?

By year three of owning a pet you should have at least one nickname you call them all the time that has nothing to do with their name or qualities

(I’ve been calling Amity “Bambo” lately)
The most beautiful and wonderful black and white cat you’ve ever seen sprawled across kitchen tile, putting her back feet against my hand The same cat, but now she’s rubbing her big head on my foot.

I am doing so bad right now personally, professionally, and geopolitically and it has resulted in some sort of freakish reverse crisis of faith and listening to Leonard Cohen a lot.
A digital drawing of a black wolf looming over a lighthouse, leaving a circle of white negative space between it and the lighthouse/coastline. The wolf has been gutting and its red intestines spill down the side of the frame; it stares with one empty white eye. Text above the lighthouse reads "YOU WANT IT DARKER" in rough, serif lettering.

Another maner of thing. This made me think about my traditional watercolor process—and how digital basically cannot replace it.

Procreate study of a photo I took of a very scrungy cat
A digital painting of a weary white cat standing in from of a chainlink fence. The foreground is composted of gravel, dirt, and a few tufts of green grass.
