We have a double feature tonight over on the BWHComics Twitch channel!

At 7pm ET, join me for a short stream celebrating the launch of the CosPain Kickstarter (https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/bwhcomics/cospain-the-collected-weebcomics)! I'll be talking about the project, working on an art piece, and answering any questions you may have in the chat!

Then, at 8pm ET, we'll be switching gears and playing Monster Con! I'll be joined by KelciDComics and CocomomoArt for another insane dive into the Monster Prom universe, but this time we'll be exploring a convention!

​Rock on, guys, and never stop drawing.

Mini Memoir #2: I Am Pagliacci

Another Mini Memoir! This is something I've been struggling with lately, especially since my YouTube channel has really been taking off. I don't make comics nearly as much as other media at this point, so I've been conflicted about my creative identity. I'm not ready to drop the Cartoonist Extraordinaire moniker just yet, but who knows what the future will hold!

To read the whole comic, please visit my Patreon post here.

Rock on, guys, and never stop drawing.

Mini Memoir #1: I Hate Autobio

I was at a recent con that was very slow, so instead of just sitting there doing nothing, I decided to doodle a little minicomic I've had in mind for a while. I ended up making two of these, and I have a few more planned, so hopefully you'll get a kick out of them!

To view the full minicomic for free, please visit my Patreon page here.

This is a one-page minicomics that I'll be selling for $1 at the CanonWrite table going forward. If people like it, I may start making more!

​Rock on, guys, and never stop drawing.

Pick Ray's Shirt Color 2026!

12/20/2025

0 Comments

It's that time of year again! Well, to be honest, it was SUPPOSED to be that time of year a couple weeks ago, but I forgot. ANYWAY.

For the uninitiated, I run a poll every year to determine Ray's shirt color for the next year in my weebcomic CosPain. I do this because he's one of the only regulars who doesn't cosplay, so it gives him a little bit of variety and also helps me keep track of which "era" of CosPain I'm in.

Since I don't have quite as much time as I usually would, the poll will be ending on Friday, 12/26 at 11:59 PM ET. The selected color will be revealed with the New Years comic, which will go out to $3+ Patrons on Tuesday, 12/30, and to everyone else on Tuesday, 1/6. Cast your vote, and let your voice be heard!

To cast your vote, please visit my Patreon at the link below.  You do not have to be a paid subscriber to participate in the poll.

Pick Ray's Shirt Color 2025!

12/10/2024

0 Comments

 
Picture
CosPain may be on a brief hiatus, but that doesn't mean we're dropping this tradition!

For the uninitiated, here's the deal: since Ray isn't a cosplayer, he doesn't get to wear a ton of different outfits. That's why I hold an annual public poll to pick Ray's new shirt color for the coming year. The winner will be revealed with the New Year's Comic (another annual tradition of mine).

To access the poll, please visit the BWHComics Patreon page.  You do not need to be a current Patron to participate in the poll.

This year, the poll will only run for one week, closing on Tuesday, December 17th, at 11:59pm ET.  Make sure your voice is heard!

Rock on, guys, and never stop drawing.

Pick Ray's Shirt Color 2024!

11/30/2023

A new year, a new chance for Ray to switch up his wardrobe, and HE NEEDS YOUR HELP!

For the new people, an explanation: Ray, not being a cosplayer, is one of the only characters in CosPain who doesn't get to wear tons of different outfits. I've therefore made it an annual tradition to let the public vote for his new shirt color for the coming year, and revealing the winner with the annual New Year's comic. I'm fond of this, as it gets you involved and makes it easier for future comics historians to pinpoint CosPain strips to specific time periods, which will be useful once the robots blow everything up and my comics must be recovered from the remains of discarded CPUs.

The polls will close on Thursday, December 14th, and is open to both Patrons and non-Patrons. I look forward to getting your feedback!

Coming Soon: LESS THAN SECRET!

3/29/2021

Just off the edge of reality, where we can’t be sure what is real and what isn’t, lie cryptids! Creatures of science and myth, they range from the terrifying, like the Jersey Devil; to the mysterious, like the Mothman; to the downright bizarre, like the Fresno Nightcrawler.

Less Than Secret is a black-and-white comics anthology celebrating cryptids in all their forms! We have brought together some of the best up-and-coming artists to share their takes on these mysterious beings with seven stories that feature horror, comedy, and everything in-between!

Hi guys,

For those of you who are unaware, I've been working on a secret project for the last year.  I've worked with anthologies before as a contributor, and even as a book designer; this time, however, my fantastic creative partner Rainer Kannenstine and I have been running an anthology as co-organizers.  We're in the final legs of it, which is why I'm excited to announce that the Kickstarter to fund the first print run launches this Saturday, April 3rd, at noon EDT!

More information will be posted throughout the week, but if you would like to follow the Kickstarter page and be notified when it goes live, you can do so here.  You can also follow the hashtag #LessThanSecret on the social media platform of your choice to see our creators' updates over the next month.

We've been working on this project in relative secrecy since last summer, and it is incredible to finally be able to share it.  This has been one of the most incredible creative experiences I've ever had, and I can't wait to see what you think of it.

Rock on, guys, and never stop drawing.

The First CosPain Booklet!

I had originally planned to hold off on releasing a CosPain collection until I had enough strips for a full-sized book.  After receiving some sage advice, however, I decided that having a smaller booklet sooner was a better solution.  To that end, I present to you the first CosPain booklet!

This volume contains the first 25 strips, printed in high quality in a pocket-sized edition.  The retail price is $10.  You can buy your own copy here.

CosPain Print Poll #1!

12/25/2017

2 Comments

 
    I will be making high-quality prints of some of my CosPain strips for selling at cons.  I've already printed the first eleven, but I've decided that it would be better to find out which ones people would actually be interested in buying rather than just making them all.  If this works, I'll probably do new polls when I have enough new strips for a print run.

    It goes without saying, but voting does not tie you into buying anything.  I just need to know what people are interested in so that I can work smarter.

    So the rules are simple: for each strip shown below, please indicate if you would be interested in buying a high-quality print:
