MEETING COMICS

NEW PAGE IN PROGRESS

A crop of a page in progress from No Raccoons in Hell. Two art students who  look suspiciously like Val and Tori are walking. Tori says "what the fuck does that mean?"
what indeed?

I should have a new page done soon, hopefully today! Here’s a detail of a panel in progress!

HEROES CON (SORT OF)

This weekend is Heroes Con in Charlotte, NC. I will not be exhibiting there, but I will be attending on Sunday!

Let me know if you are going to be there on Sunday and want to meet me. I can bring anything from my webstore, though you’d need to get at me pretty soon to get a book with a watercolor in it.

I’d also be happy to pull any original art from my kickstarter that hasn’t already been claimed and sell that to you. Or heck, if you’ve seen a piece of art that you are interested in on my bluesky or instagram feed, let me know.

Maybe you’re interested in this drawing of Val in a Tweety Bird sweatshirt? Who knows!?

A WEEK AND SOME CHANGE

It’s been a bit over a week since I launched the kickstarter for NO RACCOONS IN HELL. It’s going pretty well, but has slowed down in the last few days. As I type this, it’s at just over $900.

2 more than 911

My stretch goals for this campaign are all centered around the page count of a bonus pin-up zine: for every $500, I’ll add 4 pages to the zine. This means that once we hit $1000, the zine will go to 20 pages!

Please check out the kickstarter! I would appreciate shares on social media if you are into it enough that you want to spread the word. That’s always very helpful!-

As a reminder, $3+ patreon subscribers will get the PDF versions of the comic and pinup zine, and $5+ patreon subscribers will get the print versions.

OK, take care, and thanks again!

Thanks for reading!
