With Check, Please! ending, I thought it’d be fun to draw some of the more minor characters from the comic. I wonder how these characters will look like with my 2020 drawing abilities?? Who should I tackle first?

Thumb-nailing Comics
- Project Freetail. This is the project that is a collaboration with a "larger comic company." It's still touch and go! 😩 Working with publishers and companies has been very different from making Check, Please! and throwing it up online. With this story, I'm going back and forth with editors to develop a character and I'm curre...

Hey folks! I'll be streaming for an hour or so over on PICARTO. This stream will be recorded. I'm working on blog post headers, I guess? Come on by and hangout in the chat as I wax poetic on Bertie Wooster probably.

What ho and all that! If you didn't know, I'm a big fan of Jeeves & Wooster, a series of humorous stories and novels by P.G. Wodehouse. I live for Bertie getting in the soup, Jeeves extracting him from said soup, and for man and gentleman's gentleman soldiering forth to the next misadventure with a tally-ho.
Here's a step-by-step breakdown of an illustration I did recently!

Hey Folks!
The new year is HERE. It's almost hard to believe, but I'm somehow writing this from 2020. This is the year Check, Please!: Sticks & Scones comes out, and the year I start on many new projects. Very excited to keep you in the loop.

It's an episode of dueling and diversions: first, Captain Thomas Day keeps his word and participates in a mock-duel with Dr. Richard Weekes. You might call the match a toss-up. And then, finally--we get some chess.
"...for Tom, chess was not a battle, nor a duel--it was a dance. And it was a dance that left one with endless knowledge of his partner--Just as so much cruc...

Hello patrons! 👋👋👋 I wave to you from that mysterious, lonely, atemporal land that exists under all rocks. This is where I have been living since November and while I was toiling away at the CHIRPBOOK. Which is done, mostly. I'm doing my best to proofread this evening so that we can get the book sent off to the printer before the 23rd or 24th.

Truworthy Cook is the lieutenant of the Calypso, and he doesn't much approve of Dr. Richard Weekes or Weekes' strange scientific gathering. And as a deadly Spanish frigate keeps a close eye on the Calypso, tension between Weekes and Day mounts...and bursts.
