Drenched in the May showers, it’s time to showcases my gallery of doodles and draws for this past month of May!
Much of what I’ve draw is old art I’ve reposed on Bluesky but never posed on my own website to my surprise.
Continue readingOnward to the forth page of my short comic, as I chat about art progress, watching movies and convention set ups.
I’m rescheduling my upload rate of stream VODs to from Weekly to Biweekly. Both to encourage folks to see the streams live and give myself more breathing room to edit the VODs and get more clips. I still stream weekly around 7pm CST, so stop by my Twitch Channel.
I’m into a good stride with these weekly art streams on Twitch! If you miss me when I go live, I upload edited VODs on my Stream Archive Channel on YouTube!
Another fine week of penciling my short comic and chatting about the convention I went to last weekend.

It’s incredible that it’s already summer and halfway thorough the year! I’m keeping my nose to the grindstone, working on Blackmask, and popping up at small conventions to keep my art out there.
Let me give you a scoop on what I’ve been doing for the past few months and what the future brings for the next few months!
Continue readingThis month has wrapped up my convention stuff, so I’m hoping to get more work on art for the rest of the year.
I’ve felt like my schedule has been out of control and my work output has suffered for it. Not only that, but I feel like I do clerical crap more than I draw and while it’s necessary, I hate doing it and I feel like it’s punishment for not doing art.
I have a new sketchbook on my Ko-Fi Shop for September and October!
Likewise, I skipped a month as I didn’t draw enough in my mini sketchbook that month and I got self-conscious about it.
Now I have a 56-page PDF Collection of my raw scanned sketches! Enjoy!
Continue readingFrom 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 readingThe month of March has been mild. The most I can say is that I celebrated my birthday and trudged forward on small art projects.
As of the 3rd of March, I turned 30 years old, and I’m trying not to get crushed by the anxiety of aging. I covered it up by having dinner with my family and buying myself an iPad and Procreate! Now, I can draw on the go! I’m writing an article about my time with Procreate at a later date.
On April 8th, I’ll be at the College of DuPage Convention answering questions and selling art! There, I’ll be selling the finally printed Pizza Man book! So if you’re in the Northern Illinois area, stop by and grab a copy with my stickers as well!
The week after, I’ll be at the Schaumburg Library Convention on April 16th.
I have a big thing planned in the summer later this year! I’m preparing some of my art for something I’ve never done, before. So, I’ll keep you in the know once everything is arranged!
Most of my art time has been occupied with writing Blackmask as a story. My focus is split between re-editing existing ideas for the demo story and the big narrative of the entire game.
My personal hope for Blackmask’s main quest is that players can choose a level toplayin any order they want, Mega Man style. A connected Metroidvania-style world or an Open World is tougher to design without ballooning the scope even more.
My programmers and I check in on each other in our messages. We’re both doing our best to keep going during our bigger commitments. Adam’s tackling enemy AI next, as there’s not much left to do with Cole’s abilities for now.
I’ve been doing tiny website tasks to streamline my websites stuff. The Art Page now has all my art on it instead of having separate pages for each category of art I make. If it ends up making loading issues a pain, I change it back, but right now I want my archive front and center
There’s more blog articles in my back burner that I want to finish up, such as my tutorial series on making Incident at the Game Store. There are other articles that I want to write when I make the time.
I’m struggling to keep my focus on one specific art task. I keep dipping so much into different shit that I can’t choose an art direction for myself. My schedule is a loose cloud of “what is currently unfinished that I could finish now?” on my project list.
It doesn’t help that I keep falling into that trap of posting on my socials to say I’m alive on them. My game stuff is in my programmer’s hands. I’m messing about, sketching, and procrastinating on writing a game story. Am I busy or making up meaningless tasks for myself? I need to improve my personal project management skills.
