Otakon this weekend!

Hi guys! I'll be tabling at Otakon this coming weekend, July 29th-31st! Otakon 2008 was the very first convention I ever attended, so it holds a special place in my heart.

If you're anywhere near the DC area, stop by the table and say hi! I'll have copies of
Less Than Secret and The Letters of the Devil I and II, as well as those Wonder Woman fundraising prints I mentioned on my Patreon a while ago. In addition, Friday is the 5th anniversary of CosPain, so I'll be doing deals all weekend with the minicollections! Hope to see you there!

Free Comic Book Day at The Laughing Ogre!

5/5/2022

This Saturday, I'll be at The Laughing Ogre all day along with Bob Corby for Free Comic Book Day! Bob is celebrating the release of Oh, Comics! #30: Cheese (which I did contribute to), and I'll be distributing free minicomic editions of several of the stories from Less Than Secret!

Planning on heading to a different FCBD event in Columbus? I've got you covered there, too! I spent this week distributing the minicomics all over town, so you should be able to find them there. One catch, though: the stores don't all have the same comics! Check my Twitter or Instagram to find out which stores have which stories.

Rock on, guys, and never stop drawing.

Con season's starting back up, and I'm pleased to announce that I'll be representing CanonWrite Productions at RathaCon! I've only had the pleasure of tabling at RathaCon once before, and I've been eager to return. It's a great show, and I'm really looking forward to it.

RathaCon will be held on
April 9th, 2022, at the Athens Community Center. Hope to see you there!

Ohayocon 22 Panel Schedule!

2/9/2022

Hi guys!

Ohayocon is coming up this weekend, and I've had three panels approved! I'm excited to be returning to in-person events, and we're coming back with a bang! Here's the lineup:

FRIDAY
  • WHODRAWNIT?! Mystery and the Comic Medium
Ever wanted to learn how mystery comics are made? Then look no further! Join me for a discussion of the mystery comic medium and a demonstration of techniques for crafting a graphic whodunit or cozy of your own.

12:30 AM (technically Saturday) - Hayes (Panel 7)

SATURDAY
  • CosPain Live Draw!
Join me as I work on a strip from CosPain and answer questions from the audience!

8:30 PM - Taft C-D (Panel 3)

SUNDAY
  • Decrypting Less Than Secret: The Making of a Cryptid Comic Anthology
Join our panel of local creators as we discuss the process of organizing, writing, and drawing the cryptid comic anthology Less Than Secret!

10:00 AM - Taft C-D (Panel 3)



Beyond panel scheduling, there is one other relevant item I want to bring up. I do not officially have a table in the Artist Alley, but Ohayocon has an unusual policy this year: they've given me the opportunity to apply for a last-minute table in the event that anyone fails to show up to claim theirs. I could be notified at the very last minute of its availability. So fair warning, there's a chance I'll be announcing a table with very little notice (if I get very lucky)! Fingers crossed!

Rock on, guys, and never stop drawing.

"Sisyphus" - A Comic Live-Read

7/9/2021

0 Comments

 
Hi guys!

I will be participating in SPACE Online 2021 tomorrow, and as part of that, I was asked to make a live-read version of one of my comics! I went with one I recently did for Oh, Comics! #29, which I've mostly had to keep quiet until the anthology was released to the public but received permission to display here.

I had a great time making this, and definitely plan to make more in the future. Let me know what you think!

Rock on, guys, and never stop drawing.

SPACE Panel

Picture
Thank you to everyone who showed up for my CosPain Live Draw panel at SPACE this past weekend!  I had a great time, and a lot of people gave me positive feedback.  I definitely plan to do this again.

​I have video footage of the panel, but it may be a little while before I can make it available.  The audio is a little hard to hear, as the panels at this con were in an open venue with a fair amount of traffic.  I also STUPIDLY did not use the microphone, since I figured everybody was pretty close together and could hear me fine.  I will be working on cleaning that up, so hopefully I will be able to post it soon.


Livestreams


It will probably be a couple of weeks before my next livestream, as I have a family commitment this coming weekend and 
3 Rivers Comicon the weekend after that.  That livestream, however, will be my 100th strip.  Expect some exciting things from that one.

If you’re interested in seeing them as they come out, the best way is to follow my 
YouTube channel, or my Twitch channel if you want to join in on the livestreams, well, live!

The Letters of the Devil II

Picture
Progress has slowed down a little bit due to my weekend activities, but I’m still going strong and am on track to finish the pencils by 6/1.

Lyft

Picture
So recently, the freelance game has been a little light.  I’ve signed up with Upwork, which will hopefully help improve my luck with getting creative gigs, but it has yet to pay off, and I still need an additional source of income while working on my own projects.  It is to that end that I have signed up to be a Lyft driver.

So far, it’s been decent.  I can set my own hours of operation, so I’ve been able to continue doing comic work without any real interruption.  In fact, I’ve found ways to work while waiting for fares. This change should not have any effect on my creative output.

I debated whether or not to even mention this change in my newsletter, but I decided that it represents a significant-enough shift that I wanted to make you all aware of it.  This is the first non-creative job I’ve taken since I left customer service to attend the Center for Cartoon Studies in 2014.  It was hard to “go back”, even for something as flexible as Lyft, but reducing my financial burden even a little will allow me to keep doing what I love.

Wrap-Up

And with that, this newsletter is at an end!  I’d better get back to preparing for the next two weekends.

If you want to support my work further, please visit my online store.  I also have Patreon and Ko-Fi accounts if those are more your speed.

Rock on, guys, and never stop drawing.
