With the Kickstarter campaign for Dwarves of Kadaz: REVOLUTION ready to launch next week, it’s time to start talking about it non-stop. So while I’m going to promote it here today by pointing out that the pre-launch page is up for you to follow, I’m also going to talk about what a pain-in-the-ass it is … Continue reading “Making The Crowdfunding Page”
This is the last week of strips for this chapter, Long Story Short. Next week is the normal week-long break between chapters before the next one starts up. So I feel it’s the perfect time to announce that next week I’m planning to launch a Kickstarter campaign to fund the printing of the first Dwarves … Continue reading “A Kickstart for the Dwarves!”
Giving myself a regularly scheduled break between comic chapters has been one of the best decisions I’ve made in a long time. After nearly 25 years of steady comics output I needed to do something to both give myself a much-needed breather and keep the threat of creative burnout safely away. A scheduled break that … Continue reading “The Scheduled Break Guilt Trip”
Some days are better than others when you’re a parent, and yesterday was one of the not great days for us. It wasn’t because of any one big thing our son did, but an entire day of little pain-in-the-ass behaviors that snowballed into an exhausting day. From first thing in the morning to bedtime in … Continue reading “One Of Those Parenting Days”
I love my local public library for many reasons, but the main reason is that it’s a treasure trove of graphic novels I wouldn’t ordinarily read. As a result of exploring its offerings I’ve discovered some of my favorite books, and so has my son. I live in a sleepy little town in northern Massachusetts, … Continue reading “Gems At Your Library”
For years I’ve tried to make villains who are at times sympathetic, complicated, or even justified in their actions. For years I thought the cartoonish, mustache-twirling villains of my childhood stories were exaggerations and not realistic at all. People don’t act the way they do because “they’re just evil,” I reasoned. There are complexities and … Continue reading “Villains Who Are Just The Worst”
We’re barely into 2026 and I am already fuming at the state of my country, the United States. There’s been a lot to be angry about, but the new year has barely begun and I’m already losing my mind in outrage over this latest string of horrible news and events; most recently the shooting of … Continue reading “To Hell With This Entire Administration”
I promised to continue updating the comic throughout the holidays and I managed to do so, but as the title of today’s blog states, I don’t know how I did it. The biggest obstacle was the mere fact that it was that confusing week between Christmas and New Year’s Eve/Day. There is something about that … Continue reading “I Don’t Know How I Did It”
This is that weird week between Christmas and New Year’s Eve/Day, where no one knows what day it is and how much work they should be doing. Even I, a self-employed artist, never know what to do with myself during this week. Well, I used to take the week off and start fresh when the … Continue reading “This Nebulous Week”
The holidays are coming up! Or at least the ones I celebrate. For some it was last week. But anyway, it’s Christmas week for me and in years past that has signaled the beginning of my annual holiday break, where I cease updating until the new year. But I don’t adhere to that any more, … Continue reading “Updating Through the Holidays”
