Digital Portrait Commission #1- On Golden Pond

Here’s Amy Pond, the first of the digital paint portraits I promised to people who helped me name my new webcomic (which, by the way, will end up being “So I’m the Alligator, Then?” Thanks Alan, for inspiring me). This one is for Cait (realityshmality), whose instructions were something like “surprise me.” Hope you’re surprised […]

England & Scotland Pt. 4: Keswick, Lake District

We spent two nights in Keswick. It was pretty glorious, and easily my favorite town of the whole trip. The Lakes are gorgeous and there was always plenty to do in town. It thrives on tourism, but isn’t cheapened by it.

Should we scratch them??

So we got a second cat! Meet Fiona. She’s an Egyptian Mau mix. She taps her tail constantly, much like Gidget did, and is super fast and super skinny. Also, she’s a little monkey, getting everywhere. Her very first night she decided to try and scale the shower door, with limited success. More pictures coming! […]

I do comix now. Comix are cool.

I did another comic! I’m hoping to do a full series now that the tablet’s made it easier. You know how the archives for webcomics always have a few really crappy ones to start while the artist is working out the style? Well. That makes me feel better about this: Also, I need a name. […]
