My Drawlloween 2024 challenge has begun in earnest on Tumblr! Every day there will be a new hand drawn illustration based on a creepy horror movie character, most of them from really obscure movies. After they have appeared on Tumblr the drawings will be available here for sale. All drawings are 8" x 10" and are on 100lbs vellum bristol paper.

Well gang, since I haven't been working I've had a lot of time to work on projects so I've finished yet another book. And, since I have no money to print it and can't bear to do another Kickstarter I am also offering this one for free digitally (for now, printed copies may be available as soon as October). This one is Little Doodles #6 and it has some really good stuff in it including a fun Halloween comic to help get you in the mood as it fast approaches. Just click the link below to enjoy! Please let me know what you think!

Ireland but it kept growing and became a book of its own! Now, after having written and drawn ALL of that, I realize that it's not what you would call a commercial property. I know some people may find it interesting but I don't know that their's a market for selling multiple copies and so I decided not to print the book (at least not right now). What I am doing is offering the book for FREE digitally! That means that you can read it right now for FREE! Did I mention that it's FREE? All you have to do is go to the link provided and either read or download the PDF there. It's THAT easy and it's FREE!!! I hope you enjoy it! And, while you're here, please feel FREE to check out my other books for sale! No pressure.

I am adding the book to be sold here on this website. They will be $35 each.
A couple of good updates! The physical copies of Quiet Desperation will be here sometime tomorrow (Friday, August 24th) and should be in the mail to the Kickstarter backers by Monday! I will also add it to the Shop on this website for sale to those who missed out on the Kickstarter. Also, the other project I've been working on, The Art of Snark: Art Inspired by the Dead Milkmen, has been sent to the printer! This book will be added to the Shop once it arrives. There won't be a Kickstarter for this project as I am spent on the whole crowdfunding experience. My crowd isn't big enough.....
This process has taken a little longer than expected but I received an email from the printer yesterday that the books are on their way. Once they arrive there will be a quick turnaround to shipping them. I'll let everyone know when they are in the mail.
Quiet Desperation is currently at the printers. It may be another week before it arrives but, once it does, it will be added to this site's market. Cost will be $35. In other news, I just finished another book. I've been quite prolific lately! The book is filled with art and comics inspired by the music of one of my favorite bands, the Dead Milkmen. This book will not be a Kickstarter project. I am going to print it and add it to the market here. I definitely don't need the headache and heartbreak of another Kickstarter campaign! Plus, it's not authorized by the band so I think I'll keep it low key for now. Now I think I will go back to work on the Christmas comic I started before getting distracted by these other projects. Is there such a thing as having TOO many ideas?
I really want to get Quiet Desperation to the printer so I can get it to all of my Kickstarter friends but there is a hold up with getting book information from the Library of Congress. This is my first time dealing with them so it has been a real experience. I'm off next week so it should afford me some time to work on rewards sketches. Also, I am currently working on a new book called The Art of Snark which is an homage to one of my favorite bands, the Dead Milkmen. Stay tuned for more information.
Hello friends.....
The Kickstarter for my new book Quiet Desperation has been fully funded. I feel that I should mention that, if not for a few very generous donors, it would not have been successful and for that I am very grateful. That is not to say that I am not very grateful to everyone who donated but I felt that these people deserved a little extra love for their generosity. Once the Kickstarter rewards have been sent I will add the book to this website to sell to the general public. On that note, I would like to remind everyone that there are many books available for purchase through the shop on this website. Again, I can't thank you enough for all of your help. Also, in the future, I won't be doing any more Kickstarters! They're too stressful. Going forward I will just print the books and add them to this website! Thank you again friends..... I have decided to go forward with Quiet Desperation. No publisher wants it and I'm not waiting for any comic book creators to step up and offer cover blurbs as it doesn't look like it's going to happen. This book's journey has sent me spiraling into depression so it may be the last book that I print. I know I've threatened that before and I really don't know why I keep putting myself in the same situations but it feels like the last one. I will be conducting a Kickstarter for the book in May (hopefully) or at the latest June for a July release. This will be the biggest Kickstarter campaign that I have attempted and I hope that I can get some support to make it a reality. I have submitted information to the Library of Congress and acquired a bar code and ISBN number which is something I've never done before. I'm going to make this book legit even if it kills me! So look for me to be bothering everyone about this book for the next few months. Let the begging begin!
