UPDATE: The Kickstarter was fully funded a mere hour before the deadline — hooray! If you want to follow the author on Facebook, here’s her author page. I’m putting in one […]

“The dragons are revolting and the magic is gone! Being queen is complicated.” Author Elizabeth Ann Scarborough has been running a Kickstarter for her new fantasy book, The Shell Game, for […]
Seashell Archives Book Cover
I’ve just completed my umpteenth book cover (actually, I think this makes 21 — you can see the rest here) for Nebula-Award winning author Elizabeth Ann Scarborough! It’s for her […]
Maps and Dragons!
When I was a kid, I used to make maps. Treasure maps, fantasy maps, maps of stories I was reading. My mom liberally provided me with brown paper bags for […]
Wolf-Girl
Here’s the painting I’m showing for the annual members’ show at my studio/gallery cooperative, Xchanges. I don’t want to part with it, so I’ve listed it as NFS (not for sale), […]
Working Behind the Scenes
You know how sometimes you go to a website and get a page that says “under construction”? I’m doing a bit of renovating to this blog right now, working on […]
A-Kon — there and back again
Home at last from a wonder-filled trip to A-Kon, an amazing anime-based convention in Dallas. I’m going to do a bit of a reversal of my social media here; I […]
With a Little Help from my Friends
A funny thing happened on the way to the printer… Actually, I was not on my way to the printer. Plan A, scrapped about the middle of last month, had […]
A Ginger Tabby Logo
I started today by going back to painting, after many very long days on the computer. It felt good. I was working on some images for the cover of Spam and the […]
Dialogue Balloons and Caption Boxes, Oh my!
I’m feeling a little quantum just now. The myriad potentialities of adding the dialogue to Spam and the Sasquatch have now been collapsed into one sleek and unified whole, and […]
The Disappearing Fish
I’ve taken a day off of painting today — it was time for some life-things that needed to be taken care of (eventually the laundry HAS to get done), and […]
Cheeze It, Sasquatch!
Today in Spam and the Sasquatch, our young Sasquatch is in a spot of trouble with the law. Here’s a couple of my favourite panels from today’s painting efforts. (In […]
Sasquatch Zen!
There’s been lots of progress on Spam and the Sasquatch today — here are a panel and a page that pleased me greatly. (In case you’re just tuning in: Spam and […]
Meeting the Sasquatch
The Sasquatch of Spam and the Sasquatch finally makes her appearance! And right away there is trouble… Not long ago I posted the ink-only page with the first two of […]
Rocky the Vampire Cat
Today I’m going to post a whole page, just because I like the way it came out. Spam has encountered his pal Rocky the Vampcat, or Catpire if you prefer, […]
A Handsome Villain
Tonight’s sneak peek into Spam and the Sasquatch has Spam encountering Sven, the good-looking, ladies-man (or so he thinks) villain. I’m not going to tell you why he’s the villain, […]
A Deer Encounter
Tonight’s sneak peek into my Spam & the Sasquatch graphic novel painting marathon involves Spam and Renfrew, uh, running into the deer. The deer are the biggest gossips in town; they […]
The Little Artist that Could
I ink I can, I ink I can, I ink I can… I’m almost finished with the inks for Spam and the Sasquatch, and so my mantra. Serious eyestrain happening […]
Spam and the Sasquatch — Sneak preview!
As those of you know who’ve been reading this blog regularly, I’m working on a graphic novel called Spam and the Sasquatch, written specifically for this project by Elizabeth Ann […]
Reviving Cleopatra
I realized that I’ve been neglecting the illustration part of my blog descriptor with all this excitement over comics. So here’s a couple of the illustrations I did for Elizabeth […]
Let the Inking Begin!
Like just about anything in life, there are different stages to drawing comics. The hard part comes up front, starting with hammering out the story and stretching and compressing it […]
The Evolution of Spam-the-Cat
Drawing-a-Day number 20 I’ve been pencilling comic pages all day, and itching to get my hands on some colour. This is drawn from one of the panels I penciled today […]
An Irate Mama Eagle
Drawing-of-the-Day 16! Blog post number 50! Whoo-hoo! In the graphic novel I’m working on with writer Elizabeth Ann Scarborough, there is a lady eagle who is quite irate, and telling Spam […]
Digital Dragon Delight — Drawing-a-Day 9
I can’t help it, I just like alliteration. Really, this is more of a painting today, but that starts with a P. Yesterday I posted the beginnings of a dragon […]
