Look what I just picked up from the printers on Friday! 24 page limited edition art book. Black and white and crispy. I'll be debuting it at ICCC next weekend! What is left will be made available online after the show. www.indiecomicscreatorcon.com

Character designs. This brother and sister are the main characters for a project I'm working. I'm still a fare distance away from starting final art, and I just wanted to share!

"Shift change." Some concept art for a short form comics project I'm working on. I love combining loose ink work with limited palettes, but I've often struggled with finding my colors. After about 30 revisions on this sketch I'm very happy with how this brownish pink and blue are working together!

WIP. Ink on paper.

I didn't quite realize how much this year was a year of medium experimentation. Looking through what I made I realized I'd only done a couple of marker drawings. What I did do was a whole lot of dippen, a fair amount of gouache, and some experiments in Risograph. What a journey!

Another batch of #shiptember ink drawings. I really got into drawing the fuselage black and using white line to create form.

Developing some new brushes for digital paint.

Mood. Dipping back into the Archives... circa 2019.

Apes on tiny hover-bikes. (Although they aren't bikes, there are no wheels. Dang what should these things be called?! It's tough when your frame of reference is referring to the features of the thing, i.e. "Motorcycle", or "motorbike". I guess Motorhover would be like the most accurate, but sheesh that sounds terrible. What to do? what to do???)

A few more ships from my Shiptember series. This is when I started to get more into showing the pilots. Especially different animals- like apes. Super fun to draw apes!!!

Earlier this year I had the great pleasure of doing this alternate card art for the soon to be Kickstarting card game "Here Be Monsters." Link Below. It's a super fun head to head game about crewing pirate ships and hunting for treasure with tons of neat synergies and strategies to experiment with, and a tongue in cheek humor that I find delightful. I'm really impressed with this team and I hope you will check out the game when they launch the Kickstarter in February. This card is called "Cycloptus", and it's pretty dangerous. The flavor text, "Run away. You won't make it, but it's better than the alternative."

How the sausage gets made.

This gouache diptych was a commission a little while back this year. I hadn't done anything as elaborate in gouache when I painted these, but I do really enjoy the medium, it can be finicky but it's also so flexible!

“Sketchbook Comic” is my personal sketchbook, where I juxtapose my art with writing about my experiences as a non-binary, chronically ill person.

With this ink series I was playing around with some similar forms and concepts for these small ships. Visible jet engines, detached components held in place by magnetic forces, and animal pilots were the baseline.

I did a series of these dip pen ink drawings this past September, as part of #shiptember.
