We might technically be in fall, but it sure doesn’t feel like it outside where I’m at. Especially up by Lake Erie, which does, in fact, have beaches. So have some Thomas at the Beach!
I had been sitting on this sketch ever since I worked an office job… over a year and a half ago. (He got doodled when no one was looking.) What inspired it? Well, Thomas is a pirate, and what do pirates do in their downtime? They’re often by the shore. The modern take on that would be spending time surfing at the beach. At the time, I was also watching Lilo & Stitch again, so I got inspired. (Man, what a great movie that I’m so glad Disney DID NOT make a live adaptation of. REALLY glad they didn’t do that).
To be honest, I think I’m going to draw Daniel and Jamie at the beach, too, doing their chill thing. I have an idea for a Daniel mini-print I’ve been sitting on for a while…
Now, I drew Thomas here as a patron reward for The Legend of Jamie Roberts… and soon he’s going to be part of a mini-print bundle. The mini-print bundle will be available as part of a KickStarter I’m running on October 14, for The Legend of Jamie Roberts, volume 3.
Keep an eye on this blog as I share some behind-the-scenes sketches and photos showing the making of this book!

That’s all for now. Thank you for reading!
