Raw, messy pencils from the last comic. (Does seeing that sort of thing interest you guys?)
The lower half contains pencils from recent patron reward art and shikishi art board sketches that are included with canvas/framed print orders from 4de.
Doing some night streaming at my Twitch channel (Feb 28th). Working on something for a planned fur-painting tutorial. Come on by if you like! Will probably go until around midnight CST.

Someone asked a simple question. It was all downhill from there.
I'm still hammering on the art for the next major comic update, so this is a little something for the interim.
These are the cards from last year, plus a bunch of new ones.
Happy Valentine's Day, guys!

A small selection from the past while: an homage to Buster Keaton's "The Boat", Rocky looking much too eager to start the day, Abelard à la spider dog, and a little commission of Lackadaisy-style Danny and Sawyer.
Valentine's stuff coming soon! Tinkering with a fur painting tutorial too, but I may need to put it off a little longer so that I can focus more attention on the next Volume 3 update.

Hi all,
The next Livestream will be Sunday, February 12th, starting at 3:00pm CST at my Twitch Channel .
As usual, feel free to join in and bring art process questions or sketch requests if you have them.
Hope to see you there!
I made these for the card game in development by ThinkTank, who also produced the Nordguard game. (These are a separate thing from the playing card deck.)
Each playable character will have different abilities, but I left the game mechanic text off the cards simply because I'm not sure they'd want me sharing that yet.
Anyway, mostly just repurposed artwork, but thought it might be of mild interest.
The latest page!
There's a slightly larger version here at the web site, in case it's difficult to read.

In the last livestream, some of you expressed interest in the brush set I was using. It's kind of a beast, made up of self-made brushes and things I gathered up from former colleauges and internet resources over the years.
I organized it here as best I could so you can download the attached ZIP and try it out if you like!
If you plan to make use of it, I recommend using the Preset Manager to delete whatever segments you aren't interested in, save out portions of it to different ...
Just a little reward art that seemed fitting for the season.

Hi guys,
The next livestream will be Friday, January 20th, starting at 3:00pm CST, at my Twitch Channel .
If you have art process questions, feel free to bring them and I'll do my best to answer with demonstration. I'll try to fit in some request sketches too.
Hope to see you there!

I was finally getting around to organizing the livestream art I've accumulated over the past while and realized I never posted these. Ivy and Viktor aren't new, but part of the collection, I guess - that being the not-entirely-stylistically-consistent collection of cat-cats.
Anyway, thought I'd share!
A quick one of Ivy.
I hope the coming year is a fountain of good things for all of you (and failing that, I hope it is at least not a total horror show the likes of 2016).
Thank you, everyone, for your amazing support! Because of you, I surived a pretty unpleasant house flooding situation, finally finished Volume 2, edited it into book shape and got it into print. I was able to work at home at Calvin's side as he was sick and dying. I was able to do a GOH spot a...

Hey guys,
I'm up to my eyeballs in comic art right now. Though most years I like to squeeze in some extra holiday art, I figure the better thing to do this year will be to get Volume 3 rolling sooner rather than later. So, in the interest of not delaying things any further, here's some recently reformatted comics of yore.
-----------------------------------------------------------
Open Livestream
I'll also be doing a special livestream...
...was the sketch subject chosen by Patrons in the last livestream chat. ಠ_๏
I cleaned up the drawing a bit and added the dialogue...then threw in the pop art for fun. Zib's doing some kind of Serious Moonlight Bowie there and Mitzi might have just wandered in off the set of Designing Women.
Custom shikishi board sketches I just marathoned through for my publisher's holiday book specials. Had to get them done fast so they'd reach their destinations in time for Christmas.
I don't know if any of you here ordered one, but I figured I'd share them with you anyway!
There's a larger version of this image available here .

Hey guys,
Next scheduled livestream is Friday, December 9th, starting at 3:00pm CST at my Twitch Channel .
I will almost certainly be working on some comic panels, but I will make room for some sketch requests too, if anyone brings any ideas. Feel free to come by, lurk, or join the chat and ask questions!
Hope I'll see you there!

Some art from upcoming Volume 3 pages in varying stages of incompleteness.
I can post each page as I finish them, or I can post the first 'chapter' in two sets of three pages. I figure I'll leave it to you guys to tell me which you would prefer. The individual pages aren't especially strong as standalones, but I'll be able to start sharing material sooner and you'll get the first look at them before I post them publicly. The 3-page sets will take longer to complete, but...

...in the crudest sense, anyway.
This is some recent reward art for a very excellent Patron. I'm a little late for Thanksgiving, but in case I haven't said it lately, I am relentlessly, immoderately, violently grateful for all of your support here, guys. (Well, maybe not violently...but definitely vehemently.)
Anyway, the request was for a teenaged Mitzi...which gets you Mary Ellen and a banjo. I hadn't done any animation in Photoshop since back when i...

Some development work from Volume 3. If you're worried about spoilers, you might want to skip looking this one over. I've left the dialogue notes out so that it doesn't give much away, and I usually make further revisions as I work on individual pages...but this may be entirely inscrutable anyway.
In any case, I thought I'd just share some of this process stuff. These are pages I'm currently working on. I'll post some more refined previews/process stuf...

Just thought I'd share this impressive piece of work by Nazegoreng , commissioned by Whisski (who, if you saw my Anthrocon photos, was the full-suited Rocky cosplayer).

Hey guys!
The holidays are slinking ever closer. Stalking. Looming. ...Mirthfully.
In anticipation of the encroaching jolliness, Lackadaisy books and other merch have been gathered up into various bundle deals that are now available.
Because one of the packages contains a very limited number of custom character bust drawings on shikishi art boards, I figured I...

Things I didn't have time to complete in recent weeks. Most of it is for a mini-comic I hope to get back to eventually. I'm not sure when that will be, though. The Ivy drawing was something I had wanted to paint in time for Halloween, of course, but I guess I'll save it for next year.

Some ominous art for an ominous night! - a reward drawing belonging to Ragark.Thank you for your steadfast support.
This pretty well sums up how I feel right now, except my face is more horrified and slightly melty from all the wine I've been drinking. Take care of yourselves, American friends, wherever you stand. And please try be good to the people around you too, wherever they stand.

Hey guys,
The next livestream will be Friday, November 11th, starting at 4pm CST at my Twitch Channel.
I'm not sure yet what I'll be working on it, but it might be more pencil drawing by webcam as I have a lot of comic penciling to do. As always, feel free to watch, join in the chat, or throw questions or sketch suggestions at me!
Hope to see you there!

Happy Halloween, guys! I made you a stupid comic, but I made it with love.
Someone asked for Rocky dressed as a sheet ghost in the last livestream. This is what came of it. Let this be a cautionary tale about something-something.

Elsa - Queen of Hearts.
Some more playing card art to add to the pile.
I had some requests a while back to make wallpapers of these available, so here they are! You should see a downloadable attachment with this post, but in case you don't, here's a link.
Common aspect ratios for desktops and devices are included as well as a full size image that you can feel free to crop or size to your liking.

Once again, my sincere apologies for having to move the stream.
The new livestream will be at 3pm CST on Saturday, October 15th at my Twitch Channel.
I do hope that's a more convenient time for many of you, at least, and I hope to see you there!
