MAJOR Updates

Today at 1 pm EDT, I’m announcing some BIG changes! These changes include a new livestreaming schedule, new projects, and new storefronts.

Got questions? I’ll answer them LIVE!

Can’t watch it live? This stream will be archived here on this site and on my YouTube channel.

Thank you for watching!

I’m Leaving the NeverEnding Team

NeverEnding is a platform that lets users create characters for their tabletop RPG games and other stories. I signed on as the lead artist and character designer back in spring of 2020. And I will be leaving the team this Friday, May 21.

Why?

Well, there’s been some behind-the-scenes stuff going on. I don’t want to get too much into it here. Just know that my reasons for leaving have nothing to do with the team. I think NeverEnding has a great concept! And I hope they succeed, even with my departure.

That said, things have been…BANANAS. But in a good way!

Like, The Legend of Jamie Roberts, volume 1 AND Less Than Secret: A Cryptid Anthology both WILDLY succeeded on KickStarter. But…I still need to fulfill rewards.

Plus, well, my creative energies are being fulfilled elsewhere. At some point, working on stuff for NeverEnding stopped being fun. And I’ve made it a point in my life to work on things that are fun and fulfilling. Life’s too short to do otherwise.

I’ll be talking more about new projects on the horizon this Saturday, May 22. I’ll be livestreaming on YouTube at 1 pm EDT that day. So I hope you can make it! I’ll be sharing sneak peeks at the new things I’ve been working on.

It’s…bittersweet to be leaving NeverEnding. I’ve learned an awful lot working with the crew. And I’ve improved as an artist. (And oh sweet banana pants I have learned SO many new ways to use Clip Studio Paint, my drawing program of choice).

But it’s time that I sail away and go to new shores. You know what I mean?

I hope you’ll join me this Saturday on the livestream. If you do, you’ll see some of the new things coming soon!

Thank you for your understanding.

No New Streams for Two Weeks

thomas and jamie, the main characters of The Legend of Jamie Roberts, are asleep in their tent.

That’s right – there will be NO new streams for the next two weeks.

I am, as experts would say, VERY tired.

After back-to-back-to-back KickStarter campaigns – one of which I did two streams a week for – I need a break.

Other Project Updates

The Legend of Jamie Roberts will still update once a week on Wednesdays. Plus the email newsletter will still send out once a week on Fridays.

I had new designs for BreeBree Bootique on hiatus for April (because of the KickStarter madness). New designs will be coming next week.

Other than that? Don’t expect too much of a peep from me, except for KickStarter updates. I’m still making things to fulfill rewards.

So When Will Streams Come Back?

No solid dates yet. But I’m thinking…sometime around May 22nd maybe? I have a big announcement to make around that weekend.

….And that’s all I’ve got for now! Thanks for reading, and for your understanding.

One Campaign Closes, Another Begins, and Yet Another Still Goes…

I did not mention this before, but The Legend of Jamie Roberts, volume 1 was not the only KickStarter on my roster.

NeverEnding, Inc has been running a campaign to expand the character builder’s offerings. And they have just 11 days left! They’re pretty close to their next stretch goal, too. So go check out the campaign if you can. Pledge, spread the word – support it however you can!

Plus, another campaign will launch THIS Saturday, April 3. This one is run by my good comics buddy, Ben Wright-Heuman, and his co-creator friend Rainer Kannestine. The project?

Less Than Secret: A Cryptid Comic Anthology.

I contributed a short story about the Mothman. And there’s seven other stories about other cryptids to boot!

To celebrate the launch, I’m hosting a livestream on my YouTube channel! Hope you can join us Saturday, April 3 at 12 noon EDT. Yes, “us,” because the creators from the anthology will be joining me on the stream.

Expect livestreams every Thursday and Saturday during the month of April – I’ll be interviewing the creators who contributed to the anthology project.

If you helped bring The Legend of Jamie Roberts, volume 1 to completion, I’ll be posting updates on the regular on its KickStarter page.

Yes, this is a lot. Yes, I can manage.

Thank you for your support in all these things.

The Final Hours of Jamie Roberts, Volume 1 on KickStarter

We’re in the FINAL hours of The Legend of Jamie Roberts, volume 1 on KickStarter.

If you haven’t heard:

The Legend is the story of Jamie Roberts and their two best friends treasure-hunting with a stolen map in a land full of magic.

The story is a long-running webcomic project, but now…

  • We’re getting chapters 1 through 4 (plus bonus material) in one book.
  • The KickStarter launched to get funding so the book can go to print.
  • We reached our initial goal! And now we’re SO CLOSE to our next stretch goal!

Interested in getting the book? Back it soon – the campaign ENDS MARCH 27 – that’s THIS SATURDAY.

Rewards for backers include, but are not limited to:

  • Books!
  • PDFs!
  • Stickers!
  • Campaign-exclusive minicomics!
  • And more!

If we reach 50 backers, I’ll add new bonus material to the book: sketched versions of Chapter 5’s first 3 to 4 pages. Will you be our 50th? Or even our 51st?!

Thank you for your support however you show it.
