Cover for Preserves, a short comic I made way back in 2018 that connected to the larger story of Gardener. Eight years later and I still like it, which is rare The original is one of the few older drawings of mine that I regret selling

The Knight’s Repose, this month’s entry in the riso print club. I’ve been wanted to draw some medieval marginalia for a while now, especially snail-related

This book was really wild. Like if Elden Ring and 2001 A Space Odyssey had a rat baby.

Kanto Safari Zone - a five color riso print I made for myself as a treat. Try as I might, I’ve never actually caught everything in the safari zone in one playthrough so I had to at least draw it complete.

Thank you to everyone who's supported the release of Beast of Boriken #1. @julioanta.bsky.social wrote a thrilling story. It's been cathartic to show the world a glimpse into living through Maria and present day PR as well. Thank you @readtinyonion.bsky.social and @darkhorse.com for the faith in us!

A mutant termite kingdom, an astronaut crypt, a fungi-infested bunker, and whale-people leading a new Bronze Age. All this and more is what to expect in the pages of Those That Inherit the Earth Vol. 1. Down to the last few pages to color which means one step closer to sending it to print

Running low on riso prints that I won’t be reprinting so it’s your last chance to get them before they’re gone. As a bonus, use code PRINTCLEANING to take $5 off per print (this week only)

Five years and 156 pages later, Those That Inherit the Earth Vol. 1 is all drawn. Still have a ways to go with coloring the last third of the book plus all the worldbuilding/lore section, but it still feels good to look at the stack of finished pages.
