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 […]

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 […]
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), […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]

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 […]
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, […]
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, […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
