What have I been up to? Oh, just making comics for @grimoakpress.bsky.social and their new Grimoire. This 10-page short will be available at ECCC (and on their website of course). I love making comics!

The holiday Lego village finally grows this year with the gingerbread AT-AT! I think everyone will get along, but the Golden Brown Lord of the Sith must make a dramatic entrance!

As my three-clawed hands transform back into humanoid paws, I’d like to revel in the enormous body of work I’ve just created (this x46).
Stay tuned here and at @mindforge_media_ltd for news about when the Kickstarter launches!
For now, though, I’ll be on the couch!

There’s nothing like the stomping of a 5-year-old who has to go UPSTAIRS to get dressed, ugh fine.

I have finally fully and accurately explained my problem with how it’s marketed and used.
And now, you can use it, too.

Just heard a door slam upstairs, and all house occupants are confirmed either asleep or downstairs. Been in this house 12 years, so isn’t it a bit late for a ghost to come around?

It was a sad day to lose such a talented actor. My childhood wouldn’t have been the same without the roguish swordsman, hedonist gambler, and mouthy genius. RIP Val Kilmer.

It was a very good Saturday at ECCC! I got to meet new people, talk with good friends I don’t get to see often enough, and even connect with one of my new favorite authors, Travis Baldree. I am so grateful for everyone I was lucky enough to hang out with yesterday.

If you like creature design, you will LOVE this Kickstarter.
Creatures & Creepies Vol. 2 is now a 'Loved' project on kickstarter! That's some awesome news! We're a smidge over halfway funded and hitting that usual mid-campaign slow down, so and shares are greatly appreciated :)
