Cactus Friend Incarnate

Special nod to Keilah S. who learned to crochet by making a terrifying cactus.  I laughed a whole lot when she sent me these photos, so I thought I'd share them with you guys too.

Livestream Schedule

Hey guys,

Next stream will be this coming Tuesday, May 22nd starting at 3pm CST (4pm EST) at my Twitch Channel.

I'll probably be working on some comic art, though I have some other potentially fun things I might throw in the mix as well.  As always, feel free to poke me for a request sketch or two.

Hoping to see you there!

Wallpaper #22 - Scrapbook

I guess it's more than about time I made a wallpaper out of this one. I've updated the old Scrapbook art, added new "photos" and re-toned it.

The attached ZIP file contains common aspect ratios for various devices and two versions of the artwork - one with a vignette to soften it so that desktop icons aren't lost in the noise, and one without.  There's also an extra large version of the full image so that you can crop and resize it for whatever personal use, if you like.

Returning Shortly

Hey guys,

I'm heading home from Australia shortly, and I'll be back with livestream scheduling and some other things to share.

...It's a long way to travel, though, so in the meantime, a little Mordecai patron art.

Hardboiled Critters

Sorry I've been quiet!  I'm heading for Australia soon, so I've had my head down scrambling to get ready and to get a comic update done before I leave (working furiously on that right now).

In the meantime, I figured I'd share a couple of other pieces I did for the convention in Australia, in the same thematic vein as the Lackadaisy Noir poster.

Livestream Schedule

Hey guys,

The next scheduled stream will be Wednesday, April 18th, starting at 4pm CT/5pm ET at my Twitch Channel.

I'll probably be working on comic art, but feel free to poke me about doing request drawings too!  If you have questions about comic making and art process, bring them along and ask. Or just chat. Or just lurk. Whatever suits you.

Hope...

Compiled Sundry

Various bits of patron art.
(The first was requested specifically, though in truth, little Freckle would be more inclined to help with the mess than with the cleaning.)

Hattery

An unnecessarily enormous hat tutorial.  Hopefully it contains some useful information or something amusing enough to justify its existence!

If you have any difficult viewing the image, please say so. I can make it available as a downloadable thing if necessary.
Also, if you happen to spot any typos or unclear wording, please let me know. You can only stare at a thing for so long before your capacity for discernment gets up and leaves the room.

I still want to do that face...

Some of you saw me working on this in the last livestream. I figured I'd share the final result.

Wallpaper #21 - Noir

Spent a little time making wallpaper and device background versions of this.  (For those who haven't seen it yet, it's a 1940s twist on Lackadaisy, done for an upcoming convention.)

The backgrounds are included in the ZIP file attached to this post, along with a high resolution version of the full image which you can feel free to crop and edit however you like for personal use.

Hey guys,

Next livestream will be this Friday, March 16th, starting at 5pm CST (6pm EST) at my Twitch Channel.

I'll be working on some reward art and taking sketch requests from the chat.  Feel free to come and talk and ask questions, or just lurk and listen to the music.

Either way, I hope to see you there!

Some Tragic History

February was a long, cold, gray slog spent indoors, so in the brief glimpse of sunshine this past weekend provided, a good friend and I took the opportunity to get out and explore some local history.  Our intent was to simply check out the old Chain of Rocks Bridge, an iconic part of Route 66 constructed in 1929 to traverse the Mississippi between Missouri and Illinois. The bridge is no longer open to ...

Lackadaisy Noir

I'll be a guest at a convention in Australia and May. It's noir-themed, and I was tasked with doing some of the artwork, so I figured it'd be a fun opportunity to do a 1940-something version of Lackadaisy for one of the pieces.

You guys are the first to see this one, intended for the conbook cover.

Happy Pancake Day

Just a quick little thing from tumblr.

Many thanks to those who joined me for yesterday's livestream. I had a great time and I hope you did too!

There won't be any new Valentine card art this year (I've got to think up some new ones), but I am working on something else that I hope you'll enjoy and which I'll share with you later this week!

Actually, this started as a reward drawing of Freckle. Things got out of hand.

Card Game Availability

Hey guys,

I promised I'd let Patrons know first when card games became available again.  I haven't announced it publicly yet, but there are currently a very limited supply in the store:

Live Chat

Hey guys,

There's a chat session coming up this Sunday, January 28th, at 5pm CST (6pm EST) in the #lackachat channel on the Discord server.  Everyone here is quite welcome to join.  Friendly prattle, banter, and discourse are all encouraged, as are inquiries (which I'll do my best to answer).

If you can't make it but would like to ask me something, you c...

Well, it's a comic. I think?  
Had fun with this one, really. There was no way it wasn't going to be ridiculous, so ridiculous it is.

Facing Around

Some practice sketches I've been doing in-between working on comic panels - trying to capture faces without overworking things as I tend to do.  I've had some requests for a human face-drawing guide akin to Notes on Expressions, but I feel my face drawing skills need a lot of brushing up before I can muster enough presumptuousness to do something like that.  I'll probably start another of ...

Happy New Year!  Localized arctic conditions aside, I hope it's off to a good start for you.

The next stream will be this coming Sunday, January 7th at 3pm CST/4pm EST at my Twitch channel.  I'll probably be working on some playing card or comic art. I'll plan to pause for some request sketches too if the chat commands it (with apologies fo...

A deep thank you to all of you who stuck it out after Patreon's announcement about fees (and, happily, their subsequent rescinding of said fees).  Some of you have returned, and some even upped your pledges in the face of the fee fiasco...and I can't tell you how much it means.

Instead, here's a comic. It's an especially stupid one, but I hope you enjoy it anyway.  =)
I also hope that you're all having a lovely, warm and comfy holiday season, whether you're celebrating somet...

Livestream RE-schedule

Okay...nevermind that last post. Situation deteriorating.

I'm sporting a rash and fever now instead of just cough and sniffles, and I don't think I'm going to be useful for anything but lying down for next while. The stream will instead be Tuesday, December 19th at 2pm CST/3pm EST at Twitch.
