This weekend Garth and I will reunite behind a convention table as we exhibit together at AwesomeCon! We’ve been lucky enough to be able to attend this show for many years, though thanks to the pandemic not all of them have been consecutive. Regardless of when we’re there, it’s always a fun time when we … Continue reading “Back Again to AwesomeCon!”
I’m a metalhead and I have been for decades. I’ve enjoyed everything from stripped-down thrash metal to symphonic power/fantasy metal to absolutely brutal death/black metal. A recent trend of metal bands has caught my interest, and that’s bands with gimmicks. These are the few that have captured my imagination lately. I would credit the recent … Continue reading “Metal Bands With Gimmicks”
I have so much work to do. I have to make enough comics to maintain a good enough buffer for emergencies or unexpected issues. I have to make four pieces for my Patreon patrons this month. I have a queue of well over thirty commissions that still need to be fulfilled as Kickstarter rewards. And … Continue reading “The Cat Rule”
Back when I began The Legacy of Dominic Deegan, Snout’s adventures were much more physical in nature. There was a lot of physical humor and slapstick mishaps. There was action and silliness as he avoided amorphous blobs of eyes and teeth and took on the world’s angriest tree. Originally, the entire series of The Legacy … Continue reading “How The World Changed The Legacy”
This newest chapter is called “To Asinotaph” and if it feels a touch climactic that’s because it’s meant to. This chapter is the beginning of the conclusion of The Legacy of Dominic Deegan. Kind of. This July with mark the fourth year of The Legacy and four years we’ve been following Snout’s adventures. Everything has … Continue reading “Ending The Legacy… Sort Of”
Yesterday marked the tenth anniversary of the end of the Oracle for Hire years of this comic. It struck me that I’d never really had a moment to sit back and reflect on that run. The Friday that it ended was the first day of 2013 Anime Boston, and that very Monday I launched Star … Continue reading “Ten Years Ended”
I was sick yesterday. I woke up with no fever but I had all the aches and fatigue of being ill. But because I wasn’t incapacitated with sickness, whether it was nausea or a screaming headache or something, I decided to try powering through whatever was ailing me. It didn’t go well, and after an … Continue reading “The Sick Day”
As I sit down to write this I’ve just come from one of my weekly gaming sessions with my tabletop roleplaying game group. Since the subject of TTRPGs is fresh on my mind, and I wrote on the subject for Tuesday’s blog, I’m going to continue writing about it today. No musings on the nature … Continue reading “My Favorite Campaigns”
It’s no secret that I’m big into tabletop roleplaying games. TTRPGs are the source of half the characters I’ve put into my comics. My entire career in comics is thanks to making a Diviner Wizard in Advanced Dungeons & Dragons Second Edition in the very early 90s and recreating him for a Third Edition game … Continue reading “My Favorite Characters to Roleplay”
Over the course of my life, so far, I’ve had two Art Families. And I miss them both. An Art Family is a close-knit social circle of artists, whether it’s visual or performing, who bounce ideas off one another or create art together and generally support each other in a beautiful mixture of friendship and … Continue reading “Missing My Art Families”
