Fire & Brimstone commission

Some commissioners are very specific about exactly what they want to see depicted, and at times those elements border on mutually exclusive. Moving bodies around trying to meet those specifications can be a bit like an insane game of Twister. Characters who can fly-- like Fire and Brim'--open up the compositional possibilities considerably.

A Note About the Naughty Bits

      I want to say a few things about the adult work I'll be posting, most of which will be commissions.   First off, to reassure anyone who may have gotten a commission and is leery of having their name associated with it: I will NOT  be posting the names of any commissioners. So whatever weird, crazy  thing you may have had me draw, you're safe. Your artistic and fapping preferences are secure.

Who Needs Candy?

Just a treat for Halloween (attachment below). Hope you have a good one!

Ghosts of Halloween Past

I've been way too busy (doing stuff for this very page, mostly) to do a Halloween piece this year, but here's a shot of the Boneyard gang dressed up for a recent All Hallow's. Can you guess who each character is dressed up as? (And who each character IS...?) Be sure to stop by on the big day itself; I've got a special treat in store.

Bob is Oblivious

 Something is going on in Paris' shack, that's for sure. If I can carve out the time, I'm planning a few of those "insert pages" I explained previously, to show how Abbey is calming down Paris, in-between strips. So, something to look forward to. 

Halloween Fun!

Take some time out during the lead up to Halloween to test your knowledge of things dark and spooky. Answers are on the right, under Abbey. Have fun!

Meg and Saloon Girl (commission)

  See attachment below, as previously blah blah blah... (Oh, and for all my efforts, if you look at this banner you'll note that you can see this little lady's naughty bits...which, curiously enough, includes two anuses. Porn on her planet must be very interesting.) 

A New Bride

A pinup from my "Dark Ladies" series. Seems appropriate for October. (Why does this month always go by so fast?)

Creep's End pg. 11

   Remember the pig Paisley was afraid of? Last time? See, this is why sequential pages should be grouped together, instead of spread out in the content stream. Wreaks hell with punchlines. I may have to post several pages at a time to avoid this in the future.

Oh, and everything (well, except for exclusives) I post here I'm also posting at Deviant Art, where I can also organize them in folders. This may make it easier for you to browse images, though there will be a wait...

Adult Posts

      Thanks to everyone for their input. For the record, even my wife is with the majority in feeling that the adult content should go here with everything else. But I maintain that not everyone wants to see it, and just for myself, I don't like the idea of scrolling down the page and seeing--page of Boneyard, cool; page of Creep's End, fine; cute pinup, alright; HARDCORE PAGE OF KAT GETTING ASS-FUCKED AND GIGGLING THROUGH A COPIOUS COMIC CUMSHOT....

WordPress sucks

   So, some bad news. I've spent the past three days transferring files, organizing files, resizing and reformatting files; then figuring out how the hell to make banners, and finally, TRYING to set up a blog for the adult content. Unfortunately, I just can't get WordPress' "easy to use" setup software to cooperate. I won't even go into details, as I don't need another age-induced stroke, but suffice to say, unless someone out there is a wiz at setting up blogs, the adult content ...

Naughty Naughty

      Hey everyone, content announcement, here.                                           

      I've given it some thought, and the truth is, I probably don't have a lot of fans who discovered my work when they happened upon an...

Goody Gumdrop pg.6

   Only a couple of pages to go in this Goody short. After it wraps up, I'm going to stick to Boneyard and Creep's End for awhile, as I'd like to move those stories along a little faster.

    I've also decided that I'm definitely going to include adult material; I just have to figure out where to post it. I'll do a post about the specifics, and what kind of material you can expect. Those who enjoy such content are really going to like it. 

Next Faeries Folio Image

Those mushrooms have the right idea.

Grumpy Old Ram

 Another in my Beauties and Beasts series. Already taped to a drawing board and coated in acrylic matte medium. I'll be applying color in acrylic glazes...when I have time.

Paris Struggles with the Reality of Bob

   Hey everyone. Here's the situation I'm facing with Patreon: Getting them to take the age restriction off my page is pretty much impossible, and it would mean scrubbing every even slightly risque image from the page, which I'm not going to do. It's significant because mature content-rated pages don't show up in Patreon's search results, for some reason, which makes it much more difficult to reach new potential patrons. So screw 'em. I'm going to start posting adult work as we...

Another faerie

Continuing the parade of faerie images from the folio.

More faeries

Next image from the faerie folio.

Second faeries folio image

The second image from the faeries folio. Duh.

Faeries folio cover

A few years back, I did a folio of faerie images to have something to sell at cons. Unfortunately, going to cons kind of became really impractical about that time, so I never sold any. I wound up having James Meeley (who handles my sales of original art) offer them as individual prints for like a buck a piece or something, at cons he attended. I don't think he was crazy about selling faeries, though, so I don't know what happened with them. Anyway, I shared one on social media recently, and I th...

Creep's End pg. 10

A cliffhanger! (Okay, not really.)

Old Painting

An old, OLD painting of mine. My work's changed a bit since then, even the fine art.

Goody Gumdrop pg. 5

Spoiler alert: Yes. Yes she did.

Abbey tries to calm down Paris

Abbey does her best to talk Paris down from a panic attack, but she reeeally doesn't get the whole phobia thing.

On the Wall

 I did this as an experiment awhile back. Ink and graphite over acrylic  matte medium on illustration board. The matte medium forced an  exaggerated  graininess, and a certain randomness of texture. Not very  successful, but I might try it again, minus the medium. I like the pose  and play of light. 

Old Boneyard ad

Rob Messick was nice enough to post this on my Facebook timeline, so I thought I'd pass it on and share it here. I never even saw this when it ran in Previews!

Answer to Brandon Butler's Question Below

      After the recent post of a pinup from The Pound, Brandon Butler asked: "Is that Kat in “Holed Up” from Short Strokes?! Looks like her except no ears."

 That's kind of a long story. The character in "Holed Up" (an adult short, for those who haven't read it) is actually Dash Jumper, a space-faring bounty hunter, and she's a rabbit rather than a cat. If you look closely, you'll see long lop ears in there with her long hair. As often happens with me, I ...

Creep's End page 9

We haven't heard from Marna in Creep's End for awhile, so here's the next page, where we meet her friend Paisley, one of my favorite characters. He's such a sweet guy. He doesn't know it yet (or he might move to a different town), but he's going to be a key player in the mayhem to come. Poor Paisley.

The Pound pinup

Over the years I did two versions of what is essentially the same piece, with different details and one having a much more complete background. What always puzzled me is that no one ever asked me about--or pointed out--where Kat's left hand is, in both pieces.

Paris Makes a New Friend (pg. 2 of 2)

A little better look at Bob. ...Did I mention that Paris is arachnophobic?
