Just a reminder that I don’t use Tumblr anymore and won’t be in the future. I’m jumping this sinking ship for good!

Another music inspired story board. I’m headed to Scotland and Ireland soon to see where my family lived. The stag is my family symbol so this board was driven by that! Do you think she’ll cut the stag free?

Here are my hourlies from a few weeks ago that I forgot to post! I was sick that day, so here’s a glimpse into my somewhat mediocre but exciting life.

A comic I did about a recent eyeball condition I had that required drops every two hours. Felt like my baseball eyes shrunk to pea eyes.

Lately I’ve been doing an activity every Friday called “Next 5 Friday”. I heard about a storyboarding activity from Emma Coats where you find a photograph and storyboard the next 5 panels as if it were a scene in a film. I’ve loved her boards for so long and I’ve been wanting to become better at my own boards, so I decided to do one of these every Friday and call it #next5friday . Feel free to join in on the fun and hashtag your own boards! 

Thanks to Jeff Dotson for his beautiful photography. I found this image of his on Pinterest and it really captured my imagination. I was heavily inspired by a recent camping trip as well as tales of the English ghost dog Black Shuck.

Watched The Cat Returns with my stepdaughter and she wanted our cat Luna drawn in that style. I can imagine Luna would be somewhat of a snob in the cat kingdom.

Here’s a recent commission I finished for Fatescanner of his fursona in Zootopia style. I had a ton of fun with this! 

Character belongs to him.
