Hey folks! I'm streaming on Picarto!. Come on along, the water's fine! (APOLOGIES IN ADVANCE FOR TALKING ABOUT JEEVES AND WOOSTER.) I'll be drawing blog header pictures for the last Check, Please! comics. 👍
Right here: On Picarto. (I'll post a link to the recording later!)
And so the chaos begins! This is how my calendar for the month of March looks like.
My top priorities
1. Attending conferences and conventions
2. WATERING MY SANSEVIERIA
I’ll be at Emerald City Comic Con in Seattle, the 2020-03-02 15:20:14 +0000 UTC View Post
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?

Howdy, readers! Comic 4.21 is up for patrons! The full comic will be shared next week on checkpleasecomic.com.
And here we are, at the finals. Bitty's last game, his last dance! He's really getting throttled out on the ice, but is doing his best to put up a good fight....But how much fight does our boy have in him?
Are these fair hits? How should Bitty retaliate? WHAT could Jack, Suzanne, an...

Hey folks! Even though it's not first come, first serve, I wanted patrons to get access first! I'm signing copies of CHECK, PLEASE!: STICKS & SCONES when I'm back at home in Houston. I'll try my best to get as many doodles in there before my wrist implodes!! 🖋️

Hey folks! Over the last week I've been knee-deep in thumbnails for project Yesenia. Nevertheless, I managed to draw some blog headers for future comics. Here's a link to the livestream where I drew these.

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.
Right here. 👋
Reader, I must inform you that it is February.
Yes. I don't know how it happened either. But here we are, shuffling bleary-eyed into the dawn of yet another month in the year. For Check, Please! this is the quiet before the storms of March and April, which is when promotion for CHECK, PLEASE!: STICKS & SCONES ramps up to 9 bazillion miles per hour.

Hello, my dear readers! Comic 4.20 is up for patrons. The full comic will be shared on checkpleasecomic.com next week.
- Eric Bittle is ready to kick everyone's entire ass.
- You know what? I've never felt like a writer, but here I am, writing fictional interviews that will be followed-up with cheeky blog posts. Maybe I am a very minor wordsmith.

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!
I forgot to save the VERY first pass on this!! Nowada...

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 crucial knowledge could be transferred in the touch of a hand in a ballroom."

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 come bearing gifts, and it's not even Christmas! Hockey Shit With Ransom & Holster is up for patrons, and the full comic will be shared on checkpleasecomic.com next week.
Do you think you can explain the phenomenon of hockey speak? What would happen to someone like Jack if they were asked to be more expressive? Is this problem endemic to the NHL??? IS THIS JUST A JOCK THING??

Hey folks! I'm trudging along, running the Chirpbook Kickstarter (here!) as well as creating the last pieces of content for the book. I'm illustrating and illustrating! It's been difficult to find the energy to draw lately, so whenever I discover a precious pocket of inspiration, I try to capitalize on it. Don't worry, I'm taking it slow.

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.
Next Up: An actual sword fight and the actual beginnings of friendship.
