MEETING COMICS

Hey, everybody! First of all, thanks to everyone who came out to the Works on Paper Round Up at the Durham Armory last week. I actually remembered to put out an email newsletter signup page at that show, so… welcome!

PROGRESS ON NO RACCOONS…

I have managed to knock out three pages in the last week, which means I’m 31 pages into NO RACCOONS IN HELL part one.

Since this issue will be 36 pages, that means I’m almost done, and I’ll be launching my kickstarter for the issue soon. Please sign up to be notified when it launches right here if you’re interested, and, of course, you can get caught up on pages at the patreon if you’re a member.

CAT PICS

I’ve been doing some cat drawings, and I intend to do more. These are done from life, not from photos, and they’re a great way for me to loosen up since cats wiggle around so much and I need to act quickly to draw them.

WATERCOLORS

I don’t think I ever posted images of these watercolors of Tori and Val that I did a couple weeks ago, so here they are now!

Take care, and I’ll talk to you next week.

Thanks for reading!
