It's been a minute since I posted any updates! Between holidays, family junk, and freelance, I've been slowly whittling away at my first proper webcomic, based on a spooky Halloween D&D session I ran and drew art for a few years ago!

You can obviously check it out at my homepage, but because I really like Newgrounds as a last bastion for unshittified creativity on an internet that increasingly hates creatives, I went ahead and uploaded the whole thing to NG for your reading pleasure.

This was a passion project of mine that I really wanted to see through, and I want to continue pursuing it if folks like what I'm putting out, so if you do end up sharing it, it would genuinely mean so much to me! The reviews so far have been encouraging:

It's been a bit since I previewed the first few pages, and obviously we're well past Halloween now, but progress has been going smoothly now that all the pages are written and inked, and all my work/cliet/holiday obligations are squared away.

I'm pretty excited to share the finished work now that I'm not rushing to get this done. My hope is that it's got enough fantasy, horror, humor, and mystery that folks would be down to support a series on a semiregular basis, but for now it's full steam ahead getting this one finished :D

I’m still working on inking the final few pages (plus a whole lot of coloring), so I’ll miss my Halloween deadline, but here’s a quick preview of what I’ve got cooking!

If you're as old as me, you probably remember spending afternoons browsing the Endings section of VGMuseum in the pre-Everything-Is-On-Youtube days. So I was pretty stoked when VGMuseum and Limited Run asked me to contribute illustrations to the NES Endings Compendium.

"Featuring Me From Devil May Cry!"

Some of these are new favorite pieces of mine, and some of them are even a little outside my normal wheelhouse, but I think it's a great set!

It's on sale now , and I'd be stoked it people picked it up, because we really want to do more volumes.

I’m working on a comic strip and need to know which robot you’d save from a burning building:

If you told a middle school me that he'd be the NG user of the day twenty years into the future, he'd probably say "woah 20 years that's a lotta beat up Bin Laden games"

But on a more 4srs note NG is my favorite creative community and I'm tickled pink to be featured

Eeey I worked on this!! 

I was super lucky to work some of the artwork for this collection, including one of the posters, steelbook, album covers, and the character art for the action figures. It’s been really hard keeping quiet about this, but seeing all of this put together is really exciting!!

I wrote and drew a new comic for Kotaku! It was a tough subject to cover and make interesting, but I'm proud of how it came out!
