AMA Postponed
I’m sorry, everyone. I thought I’d be able to get the AMA response video posted today but moving has just been crazy. I’ll be sure to have it uploaded on Monday. Thanks for your patience!

Hey everyone! It's that time of week again where I ask you all for questions that hopefully I have answers to!
Just leave questions down below and I'll reply to them in a video on Friday. Hopefully you saw last week's, as I thought there was some good stuff in there! Anyway, hope to hear from some of you soon!

Hey all, here's the AMA video responding to question from this past Monday's post. I hope you enjoy!
Remember, if you'd like your question answered, just look for the AMA post on Mondays, and I'll be sure to tackle it in the following Friday's video!

Probably should practice a new technique--in this case, inking with a nib--somewhere, ANYwhere, other than immediately onto a page, but oh well. You live and you learn.

It's been a long time, but I'd like to start doing Patreon AMAs again, at least every so often. Feel free to drop a question here in the comments that you'd like to see me answer! I'll try to have the response video posted this Friday.
I'm hard at work on all kinds of art projects right now, but I think this'll be a fun break from the grind. Thanks in advance! I look forward to seeing what you all are curious about!

Here’s a panel I’m quite happy with. I love it when I can get really goofy with faces. That’s always super fun for me.
Panel from page ten of the creator-owned.

On the flipside of the hell that was chairs and tables yesterday, here’s a panel that was both fun to draw and that I’m really quite happy with!
This time it’s a detail from page 9 of issue one.

2020-02-21 03:07:47 +0000 UTC View PostWelcome to Ferrin
Sorry for the silence, lately. Trying to get a hang of my schedule has been quite a chore. Between working on this, commissions, shipping orders, etc., it's been really easy to look at social media work as bottom rung of the ladder--I'd rather focus on creating the content that will eventually get posted there--but I definitely need to change my mindset on that.
So far, I've got six pages fully pencilled of the new project, and three fully inked. I'll be honest and say that I'm moving a...

Thirty minutes spent just trying to figure out the floor plan of this tavern so I’d know what goes where when I draw it.
Lemme tell ya, this world-building stuff is a lot trickier than you’d think.

Just got done inking (minus the lettering, obviously) this panel and am really happy with it. Just wanted to share!

Hard at work figuring out the pages for issue one. One of these thumbnails literally took me nearly an hour to figure out. Let me tell you: it is mentally exhausting.
But no one ever said it'd be easy!

Holy smokes, it's alive!
I managed to get the first page lettered and penciled last evening, and couldn't wait to show you all! I probably won't be posting full pages super-regularly, but I figured the first one is a fine exception.
I'm so excited, everyone!
2020-01-24 18:42:53 +0000 UTC View PostThe First Promo!
Lots of people have expressed interest in where to follow the progress of this new creator-owned title, so I was posting about it pretty frequently. I quickly realized that just providing links here to the Patreon was not generating the results I was hoping for, and decided that I needed to create some kind of promotional image to help stir up interest, and here it is! As patrons, you get to see both the final colored image as well as the original art, which was drawn at about 8.5"x17".
(Re)Introducing Étan!
Springboarding immediately from last week's announcement, I'd like you to meet the main protagonist of my upcoming creator-owned comic, Étan (pronounced AY-tn).
A young man from the Riverlands, he's chosen for himself a life of adventure and hopes to one day be known as a great helper of the helpless. He wanders the countryside searching for problems that need solving, but over time will learn that two hands are rarely enough to make real change, and will begin attempting to recr...

2020-01-17 18:56:26 +0000 UTC View PostA Major Update
As some of you may’ve heard, I’ve been working on a brand new creator-owned series for about a year and a half now. It’s a fantasy adventure-comedy about a young man named Étan setting out from his home in an attempt to become a great adventurer like from the stories of his childhood, and he’ll quickly learn that such a feat cannot be accomplished alone. At its core, it’s a story about friendship, aspiration, and morality. I just finished the first draft of the first issue, and am ...

Next week is a very special week!
First, a brand new JL8, #269.
Secondly, it's my birthday, and you know what that means--a giant sale, including a HUGE update of original art, some of which has never been available before anywhere! Merchandise-wise, the past few years I've been doing (my age)% off, but this year, even though I'm turning 33, we're doing a full 50% off on all prints. Why's that?
Third, after posting next week's strip, I'm making a full pivot into long-form JL...

Happy Thanksgiving, everyone. I hope you all have a great holiday.
Originally, JL8 #264 was planned as a mega-update of 18-19 pages, but due to a plethora of extenuating circumstances, had to be split up into five separate chunks.
I decided to collect them all here to present the update as it was originally intended. I hope you enjoy it.

Hey there, everyone. Just wanted to give you all an update on where things stand.
Last week I finished penciling the first page of the newest JL8 update, and yesterday I finished penciling the second. It stands to be a four page update, so we’re about 25% of the way there, although today I’ve already begun inking the first page, so the update’s even a little further along than that. Given how volatile things have been this year, I’m a little reluctant to project any specific dat...
