I made a new digital sketchbook up for sale on my Ko-Fo Page for November!
This is a 62-page collection of my daily sketches through the month of November.

Summer Wrap-Up
Intro
It’s the end of summer and my day job at school has started again, so I’m growing busier once more.
August Ko-Fi Sketchbook
I’ve made a new August sketchbook collection for my Ko-Fi Page!
Continue readingGallery Seven Comic Art Exhibit in July!
From July 1st to July 29th, I have an art exhibit called at Gallery Seven in Lockport, IL. This is a showcase of the original comic art I made for Shirley’s Day and Incident at the Game Store!
You’ll see the real pencil drawings and ink brushwork in person! The Opening Reception is on July 23rd from 1:00 pm to 3:00 pm CST during Comicopolis! Here, you can meet and chat with me about my comics and the process of making them!
Continue readingSetting up the Summer
As of writing this, I have a show at The Gallery Seven on July 23 during Comicopolis 2022! There you can find my traditional ink comic pages framed in Lockport, Illinois. I never thought I’d be able to do this, but I’m glad it’s happening, and I hope you’ll stop by and see my original pages!
Massive May Marker Art
This month has been my most successful month of the year saleswise for my art! Anime Central was this month, and it’s a huge one! It’s a good sign that can sunset my time at my day job to take a big plunge into full time art. But I’m sure this is wishful thinking.
The Pizza Man on Etsy and More Store News!
I have some store news for you all! There’s new stuff on my Etsy Store, Ko-Fi Page, and Redbubble. I’m a busy bee indeed!
The Pizza Man Now on Etsy!
After years after finishing the original Instagram challenge, arranging the pages together, scraping up funds out of my own pocket, I finally have print books to sell to you all!
To remind you all, The Pizza Man is an improvised story about a simple pizza delivery driver, who must drive through insane obstacles to complete his order on time!
This story was completed in June 2020 for the Journey June Art Streak challenge. Journey June is an art challenge for those who want to improve their storytelling.
I took it one to the suggestion of my friend, but I wanted to see if I could do a comic sequence every day for 30 days. It was stressful, and I thought the story was getting too complicated, but it’s a nice notch in my art-making belt!
Blackmask Dev Vlog 2022
The status of Blackmask is the same as it’s been so far. There are tiny updates working on specific mechanics, like projectiles and stealth.
Continue readingArt and Con Prep
It’s been a productive start to my new year. Despite nursing a head cold, I had for the first few weeks, I made plenty of art to prepare for the coming year!
On February 12th, I’ll be tabling at Northwest Indiana Comic-Con! It’s the first time in two years that I’ve tabled at a con!
The things you’ve seen on my Etsy Store, you can get them at the con! This comes with the added benefit of meeting me in person and having a chat!
If you don’t know what you want to buy from me or have everything I have to offer, from my comics to my stickers, I opened a Ko-fi page as a tip jar. You can drop a small tip to me and commend my efforts!
Continue readingRunning to the New Year
It’s almost the new year and I look back on 2021 with thoughts. It started out with promise, but I think it went downhill closer to the end. I can’t help but say I felt directionless and the stuff I’ve been doing wasn’t as amazing as I’d like for it to be.
Altered Book Plans
I have bad news and good news about working on my self-published comics.
Some bad news is that I changed my mind about making The Pizza Man a book. Good news is: I’m going to put The Pizza Man, Shirley’s Day and Incident at the Game Store, in one bigger book!
I made several proofs, and I was just about to go forward on buying prints, but I realized that instead of sitting on many floppy comics that don’t sell that much, I’d make a big trade paperback containing not just my comics work so far, but behind the scenes stuff like my original pencil art and inks! I can even include other illustrations and sketches in the book to show off more of my artwork!
