Author Corner!

Author Corner!

I've been keeping myself pretty occupied with the administrative details of my upcoming conventions, travel, and life stuff, and I am once again finding myself frustrated that all these tasks take me away from my OGN work. The thing I always forget about contract work, which currently mostly

What's in a name, anyway?

What's in a name, anyway?

I honestly can't believe I've gone seventy pages into this webcomic without even once considering that it should have a name. And then, with CAKE, Autoptic, and A2CAF coming up, I decided I wanted to make a print edition of the comic, which meant I needed

Embrace the Jank

Embrace the Jank

I’m sure you’ve noticed by now that most of my long posts are somewhat aimless streams of conscious that find their thesis partway through. Crafting an essay, editing it, and endlessly rewriting it to perfection is such a skill, and I don’t know how writers do it.

Grandma in Italy

Grandma in Italy

In 2019, my partner and I took my grandmother on a trip to Italy. I drew a few journal comics in my sketchbook in ballpoint pen as we went along, and I've collected the panels here. I might refine them into something else in the future, when I

Sketch Joy

Sketch Joy

I have been trying to find ways to make art in ways that are a little more removed from the realm of the digital. With all the big tech companies leaning hard into generative AI, including some that really should be better stewards for the artists who make up the

The Magician (and the responsible use of magic)

The Magician (and the responsible use of magic)

I don't really have a naming convention for the tarot decks I always start and sometimes finish, but I sort of gravitate toward mundane names. I'd love for tarot to be a completely non-intimidating thing that people can play with, so I might try to figure

Fortitude

Fortitude

I'd fallen off working on this deck for a while because I have a lot of other projects that need tending. Comics take so long, though, that it's difficult to nail down a sense of satisfaction at any interval, so I have to make sure I&

May so far

May so far

Hello! Sorry it's been a hot minute, but I got busy basically immediately at the beginning of the month. I've got some sketchbook images and new work to post soon, and I'm always happy to put out a few pages of my side comic

Backlog: Processing Process, and More Processing

This entry was originally posted to Patreon on March 14, 2024 I wrote “process” more than once, and now the word looks funny and is beginning to lose its meaning to me. This post is about a few things, and it’s a little bit on the sad end. Nothing

Bear Prince, Slumberland, Many Hats

Bear Prince, Slumberland, Many Hats

This week, I am deep in the comics trenches and hopefully making progress with pages for Angelica and the Bear Prince. I keep accidentally making wild amounts of work for myself by doing things like, for instance, writing segments that take place in rooms with a lot of meaningful picture

Dear Reader, This is the post where I figure out how to do those little integrated call-to-action and product buttons, starting here: Why Would a Fish Wear a Dress? Print Available on INPRNT I'm not totally sure I'm doing it right, but it seems to work
