I’ve got good news and bad news.
The good news is, I’m getting a lot of work, like freelance work and picking up a new day job!
The bad news is that I had to make a choice about something.

Seeing Him, the Webcomic is a project by Kia Crawford (the writer) and myself that was successfully funded on KickStarter.
In the time between the last day of the KickStarter and…today, Kia and I have been working hard to make the comic and send out rewards to our backers.
So, the biggest reason you haven’t heard much news post-KickStarter is because the backers come first.
That, and we’ve been working with Pink Dollar Comics, the host of the comic, to set everything up before it’s launched.
HOWEVER!
Today I have exciting news to share with y’all.
Seeing Him, the Webcomic, will officially be online on June 16th!
The webcomic will update twice a week on Tuesdays and Thursdays, in full color, on Pink Dollar Comics.
If you have other questions about the comic, leave a comment below and I will answer them to the best of my ability.
Thank you for reading!
You. Are. Awesome.
Oh man, I want to share ALL OF THE THINGS with you, but we gotta’ do this one step at a time.
First, The Superhero Ladies Sketchbook is finally online!
I listed it for $1.99 on Gumroad, and you can download a copy by clicking the cover image below:
Why Gumroad?
Because they’re nicer, cleaner, and more direct than Amazon. And you don’t have to have a super-long checkout experience. I’ve used Gumroad before and it’s smooth and fast. I wanted your shopping to be as nice as possible, and Gumroad fit the bill!
Ok, second, I’m working on a new email newsletter!
It’ll be free, and hopefully (if I can configure everything correctly) people who first sign up will get a free downloadable image for a desktop/phone background. Pretty sweet!
The newsletter will highlight comic updates, blog posts, new product news, and even bonus sketches and cartoons you can’t get anywhere else. Because INCENTIVE.
Third, I finished a new illustration, shown below:
Click it to get a better view, because I am SO proud of how this turned out.
I really pushed myself with the colors, shadows, and gestures. There’s still a few spots I could fix, but I could work on it forever. I won’t. It’s too good right now for me to fiddle with it any further.
(If you don’t know who the two ladies are, they’re Claire and Tracy, from a story I’m scripting about road-tripping through post-apocalyptic zombie America. You can read more about it here.)
And fourth, the blog will no longer update on Mondays…at least for now.
I’ve been working hard this past month to update every weekday, but it’s starting to take away time from making comics and art. Plus, with an upcoming newsletter to make, I need some time to make that awesome.
So, yeah, I’m going to make some changes to the blog, starting with no Monday updates. It’ll give me the time I need to keep making great art and comics for you to enjoy.
The other change I want to make to the blog is that the posts are going to get more personal – except for Review Day Tuesday and Featured Artist Friday. Those are features I want to keep.
I’ve discovered that, while people occasionally like my tutorials, you seem to like when I just blether on about something personal to me. Which is cool! I’m happy to make more stuff like that.
That, and there’s just some personal stuff I want to talk about that I can’t fit in a sufficient amount of space on Twitter.
But I want to keep Review Day Tuesday and Featured Artist Friday. Those are features that I hope will show you new work and new artists to geek out for and support. Like Ark Revner, or Jeff Laclede, or Shadowbinders, or Bartez.
Thank you so much for reading! I’ll see you tomorrow with a new review – and it’s for a webcomic!
There’s actually quite a few house-keeping things I want to take care of in this blog post.
First, I’m taking December off from making comics.
I’m doing this for a few different reasons.
Second, though I’m taking a break from making comics, all of them will still update regularly in December.
This is because I worked extra hard in October and November to make extra pages.
So don’t worry! Validation will still update Mondays and Thursdays, Johnson & Sir will still update on Tuesdays, and Charlie & Clow will still update on Wednesdays.
Third, I’ll still be promoting the “Seeing Him” KickStarter.
Speaking of which, we are down to 13 days left and we’re not near our goal! Please help by spreading the word and contributing if you can.
But yes, there will still be a lot of posts about Seeing Him, mostly because Kia and I are super eager to get this story out. While Validation is a cool webcomic about a trans girl, Kia and I don’t feel like there are enough webcomics about and starring trans men. We’re hoping that by making Seeing Him we can make a story to fill that gap.
Those are the major updates at the moment. There will probably also be tweaks made on this site, like updating Sketches.
Hopefully, too, there will be more, better blog posts here. If you have any suggestions, please leave them in comments below.
Thanks for reading, and I’ll see you on Friday.
