MEETING COMICS

Hey, folks! It’s been about a month since my last newsletter.

There's been a lot going on in Nealville. I won't be going into details here, but the comics part of my life has been mostly paused for a little while.

There are resolutions in sight for some of the non-comic stuff that's been going on and I hope fervently that I will be able to get back to drawing comics very soon. Meanwhile:

DRAWINGS

Posted throughout are a bunch of drawings I've made when I've had a chance. I'm trying to keep my drawing hand supple while I'm away from comics.

I've also done a good amount of these drawings in colored pencil, because I think it's important that I keep pushing myself as an artist and figuring out new techniques, even if I won't necessarily use them in comics.

NO RACCOONS IN HELL PART TWO

I've been revisiting my notes for the next issue, which will wrap up NO RACCOONS IN HELL, and have rearranged, rewritten, and reworked a good amount of it to make it flow better. I think it's going to be a really fun ending to the story and I'm excited to draw it.

TINA AND ELLIE TAKE THE CASE

I have paused production on my next book because I need to be a hundred percent certain I'll have the time to devote to running the kickstarter properly.

I hope to get the kickstarter going so that I can have the book out by end of 2025 / beginning of 2026.

And that’s it! Take care!

Thanks for reading!
