A few more sequential pages from my upcoming graphic novel, A bite of Pepper, introducing our other protagonist: Ana!
Pre-order now either in hardcover or paperback wherever books are sold! (Links also in bio)
"Pepper Mint might be born a vampire, but she’s pretty much your average teenager who loves skateboarding and her dog. What she doesn’t love is her mother’s continuous efforts to find her a vampire bride so that she can become fully immortal. Then Pepper meets Ana—she’s a charming art student, a part-time waitress…and interested in Pepper.
Ana’s presence changes everything, especially when she uses Pepper for the inspiration behind her art. But the two girls’ instant chemistry seems to provide the perfect opportunity for Pepper to finally commit to becoming the immortal creature of the night her mother desperately wants her to be.
Between the pressure from her mom and her inability to figure out whether Ana likes Pepper for herself or her aesthetic, it feels like everyone just wants a bite of Pepper. And with all these looming questions, will Pepper be ready to take the biggest bite of her life, committing to an unchanging immortality?"

My next book, A bite of Pepper, releases at the end of next month, so I thought I should put out a few sequential pages from the very start of the story.

Quick 15th Doctor warm up sketch (and getting carried away with the coloring again) while I'm processing my (many negative) feelings about the season finale. Will miss Ncuti Gatwa in the role and I think he deserved better and more. Anyway, I hope the next Doctor will wear their cool jackets more.

Very quick and silly Godzilla sketch. I had a ton of fun recording a Godzilla podcast yesterday (should be out soon), also I developed some Godzilla brainrot because of all the prep for the pod 🫠 Plus I never drew Mothra before (mainly cause I haaaaaate butterflies) but I talked so much crap about her on the pod I felt bad, so thought I should try my best.

Very quick and messy sketch, but just learned that the last season of She-ra and the Princesses of Power aired exactly 5 years ago, so thought I'd do a quick warm up to commemorate. This series forever altered my brain chemistry and I still love it dearly.

It's been a while since I drew anything that's not the book I'm working on ATM, so I thought I'd do a quick sketch for fun…and then things got slightly out of hand 🫠 Inspired by the amazing Supergirl -Woman of tomorrow miniseries from Tom King and Bilquis Evely.

Cover sketch for the new book I just started working on. It's a long ways from being presentable but it's a story I wanted to do for years, and I'm excited I finally figured out a way to get the narrative together.

Character line up for the next book I'm working on. Yes some of them have red eyes, so they might be evil or rabbits. Will decide later.
