We're already a quarter of the way through the 21st Century!

This is gonna be the busiest year ever, with the completion of the Mallory Bash film script bringing a return to a brand new L.A. pitch season! Beyond that, I've got some more irons in the fire with my buddy Max, and the new year will see the official release of a new comic, as well as some other big projects.

Stay tuned, my friends!

Happy New Year, from Mallory Bash!

I'm gonna be too busy celebrating at the hour of observation, so enjoy this year's postcard on this, the eve of the Day Of Recovery. Decided to get the adults all in on this one, since I don't get to draw them as much--especially Mal's parents there on the far right. Just for fun, they're all drawn with the favorite drinks: Odran: Scotch, neat (via his family's distillery at Glen Bash) Olivia: Wine, Shiraz Cyrus: Wine, Pinot Noir Miss Eve Parker: Dry Martini, olive and lemon garnish Phelim: Bourbon, neat Mary: Sazarac (Rye Whiskey, Absinthe, Peychaud's Bitters, Sugar, but with an orange garnish rather than lemon)

If I had my pick of actors to voice the characters of Mallory Bash, this is my current pick set.

Logline: "On a quest to uncover the truth about her missing father, an expeditious girl ventures deep into the forest to take on a wild gang of runaway kids and discovers a mystical world inside the mind of the Dreaming Tree."

It's a mystery quest about the relationship between parents and their kids, as a dark secret festers over ten years and sparks a ground-shaking, town-quaking hunt for the truth on Halloween night.

Happy Thanksgiving, 2024, from Mallory Bash!

The kids are on their way upstairs to Mal's room with their dinner--if they can make it that far before Odran and Olivia drag 'em back down to the table.

May the 4th be with you on this Star Wars Day, from Mallory Bash!

The story of Mallory Bash, who these characters are, and what drives them has evolved significantly over time, and so there have been many pitch bibles. There's a sense when you've hit it, though, and I've been slowly updating the latest bible to reflect the cohesion of the story as I've been writing the film script. Great stories take time to put the right pieces in the right places so that the themes, character motivations, symbols & iconography, and plot all cohere into meaningful narrative machine that pumps out what we always hope will be an exquisite, engaging, and thoughtful adventure. This is the most updated character page for Mallory, built on the structure of the pitch bible that made the rounds through all the major studios and returned high praise from every creative department that was offered a look at Mallory Bash.

Yeah, their family's actually Scottish, but eh? The Bashes may be Scottish, but Odran's mother, Cliodhna, was VERY Irish. S'why he's got a very Irish name. His parents actually met at Ellis Island, fun fact.

Needed to make up some school ID cards for some future story stuff, which was a lot of fun because I got to come up with an official logo and card design for Cloud Academy. Here are the kids' ID cards for their private school!

Merry Christmas 2021, from Mallory Bash!

I always knew Mallory would have a fairly sizeable cast, but it's important to me to keep the tone intimate.
