New Sticker Sunday!

     This week's new sticker is a flashback to Blue's first appearance, on the cover of Blue Grind. I've heard that djinn are terrifying, but I must respectfully disagree.  Blue Grind Cover Art Products from GOTTA HAVE MOORE! | Teespring

Somebody Asked for Teddies...?

     Teddies with 'Tudes was one of the first comics I developed. (It never saw print, so don't feel bad if you've never heard of it.) It  was also one of the weirdest things I ever created, in terms of premise, and the secret of what's behind the whole thing. (Inanimate objects suddenly start coming to life and assume semi-humanoid form, for reasons unknown to the general public. It's about relationships, prejudice, and what people will do to survive, w...

Abbey with Tombstones

     A very rough sketch of this one has been kicking around my files for a long time. I updated details to reflect Abbey's modern look, but basically it's the same as I first designed it. The surrounding page will be completely black. There's actually a second, companion piece to this one: the same scene, but seen from behind, with Abbey looking back over her shoulder at the viewer. My original idea was to put this image on the front of a shirt, and the second on the...

Abbey in the Cemetery, Inked

     Thanks to everyone for the input on what pinups you'd like to see. So far in the works I've got some Val from Tin God, some Teddies with 'Tudes (that was a surprise), some Lita from the last printed Boneyard arc, as well as some characters from The Pound, aliens, witches (actually, an assortment of monster girls), Charli from Macabre,  barbarian chicks, Dash from Slamhounds, Goody Gumdrop, the pr...

Happy Belated Halloween!

    Well I feel foolish. I said I didn't have time to do anything for Halloween this year, but I just realized that my strange friend, Grayson Fogg, has a whole bunch of seasonal work that would have been perfect to share here. So it's a little late, but here's my favorite piece  of his to date. I keep telling him to do more work, but he always gives me the same old, "Oh, I'm really busy, I haven't had time" B.S.  Friggin' lazy artists.

A Little Fire & Brimstone

     So what would you do if you had a prehensile tail? I mean, Fire has no limits, she's just inappropriate behavior on legs. What she's doing here is clearly wrong--especially these days, right? Maybe once, in less enlightened times, but today this shit would get you cancelled in a heartbeat. So we're agreed, it's just plain wrong.  Which is why it's a really good thing that men don't have them. Just saying.

Abbey in the Cemetery, Pencils

     Continuing the cavalcade of new pinups, we have here the lovely Abbigail Abrahms reclining on a tombstone in the titular boneyard. This is another piece I'll probably be putting on T-shirts. If there are any characters you'd like to see me feature in this assault of pinups, maybe a personal favorite you think has gone neglected, please let me know. I can only read your mind about your darkest, most private desires, not more trivial issues.

Merch Relaunch

     Hello, all. You may have noticed that my Teespring store went down recently. Relax, this was not the work of political extremists...though I do believe The Man is very much afraid of my "message".  We're going to be relaunching, with new, higher quality products, and new products added every week.  I'll keep you informed weekly, here and across my social media, and I hope you check it out!

"Wulf Hangin' with Deja", Inked

...Aannd here's Deja from last week, all inked up. Fun story about this piece: The original sketch was done a long time ago (hence the need to update the style and basically re-pencil  it), and I must have been out of Bristol board at the time. It was done on a drawing paper with tooth--a noticeable texture--making inking a challenge. The texture tends to make the pen skip along the surface, especially on light, thin strokes. It also shreds pen tips like a bitch. I had just gotten a new ...

Cute Possum Girl

     What is this pinup from? I have no idea. It's clearly not The Pound--not nearly harsh or dystopian enough. I hate to think of what would happen to a cute possum girl hanging half naked outside an office building in The Pound.  Fortunately, nothing bad is going to happen to this cutie. It's just a fun, whimsical piece of cheesecake...and, of course, a misogynistic objectification of furry women everywhere. That's just how I roll.

Deja and 'Wulf

     Nothing works out the way you expect. Awhile back I shared my plans for what I was planning to post on Patreon through October, but it obviously hasn't worked out that way. I'm not going to be able to do any Halloween-related stuff this year, here or in my own life. (Seriously, not a pumpkin patch, not a haunted house, nothin'. Reality really sucks sometimes.) Instead I have to do a whole bunch of pinups over the next few weeks. There'll be Fire & Brimsto...

Fire & Brimstone, "Rear Naked Grope"

     Here's another of the pinups I'm currently working on. It actually features a bit of a reversal: usually you'd expect Fire to be the one groping from behind. But Brim's a trooper; she understands the importance of promotion. Plus, who wouldn't want to get up close and personal with Fire? (Until it was over, of course. Then you'd be wise to get the hell away from her.)

Abbey and a Demon Friend Sketch

     Here's a sketch I was thinking of turning into a Beauties and Beasts piece. I don't think it features the "beast" enough, though.  We only see his back, and he's just sort of a nondescript demon servicing a happy vampire. The fact that the vampire is Abbey just makes it a little more interesting. Lucky demon, though.

Limelight Commission Finished

     So here, obviously, is the completed Limelight commission. I knew I wanted her surrounded by bad guys, but I don't know anything about her universe, so I had to make up a bunch of baddies. Personally, I don't think I'd land in the middle of them, but that's just me.

Anyone Remember Blue Grind?

     So I did a one-shot called Blue Grind, for the five or so of you who might remember. It was either adult or mature readers, and was hosted by a sexy blue-haired genie named Blue. A few years back, a friend was designing a website for me, and asked me to do some vignettes to be used as site navigation symbols. These are some I drew of Blue (obviously). I've got others--including some of other characters that I'll share in the future.

Last Page of the Boneyard Short!

  Whoa! Sorry, everyone. I took on an art job last week, and it seems it was the proverbial straw that made the camel say, "Hey, get that goddamn straw off'a there! Don't you see all those other straws? I am clearly stretched too thin, idiot!"  So I'm forgetting little things, like, say, the text to my Patreon posts. But you probably figured that much out. 

     Anyhoo, here, finally, is the last page of the Boneyard short.  It'...

One of My Favorite Abbey Commissions

     Well, the title pretty much says it--I always liked this piece.  The coy pose and expression, the unique lingerie (the two little "bumps" on the top of the G-string are supposed to suggest bat ears, making the pubic triangle area like a bat head, echoing the halter top), but mostly it's those thighs. Thighs don't get enough love.

Limelight, a Work-In-Progress

        *Note for clarification: Unexpected work dropped into my lap last week, so I lost a good chunk of time. I knew I couldn't finish a full comic page in the time I had left, so I decided to start this commission and run it as a work-in-progress. The last page of the Boneyard short will be up next week. Promise.*

Mass Effect 3 Commission

     I don't play video games (surprising, I know), so when I was asked to do a commission of these three characters from Mass Effect 3, it was research time. The commissioner was kind enough to send some reference (probably to make sure I drew the right characters), but I always like to have multiple angles, expressions, and so on. While image hunting, I learned two things: First, there's a lot of Mass Effect 3 porn out there. A lot. And B, I really...

Boneyard Short, Page 2 (of 3)

     Years ago (okay, decades), I showed a friend some character designs for a comic I wanted to do, and his response was a disapproving, "Well, I guess that's what sells these days: tits and ass." And it's true, that's all I got, the ol' T & A. This short proves it. I just couldn't resist packing Boneyard with one more luscious, delectable female character for readers to drool over. Just look at her! Those exquisite legs, those ample breasts (le...

First Page of New Boneyard Short!

      So, as usual, this page took longer than it should have, but not for the usual reasons. First off, that water was ridiculous. But that's just me overdoing it, pretty standard. Then I realized that all my "specialty" fonts were on our rickety and undependable desktop, and I didn't know how to transfer them to my laptop, so that meant the better part of a day searching for free fonts, downloading and figuring out how to install them (thank Baal for Y...

A Little Mary Jane

     I may not know much about comics, but I know Spider Man has a gorgeous redhead girlfriend named Mary Jane. (Or at least he used to. I have no idea who Spider Man even is these days, or how many of them there are, what with all the nonsense going on at the big publishers over the last few years.) And that's what I was commissioned to draw. It took a lot of reference, too; hours and hours of sorting through photos of large-breasted women...none of...

Lilith Pinup Commission

     Anyone remember Lilith? Abbey's creator and bestest buddy? I got criticism early on that I used her too often as a villain (I think I used her...twice?), but she's coming back! Not in the way you might expect, but she's definitely going to be having an impact on Abbey's life in the near(ish) future. Stay tuned...

Bushwhackers, Page 4

     So obviously this isn't the Boneyard page I was supposed to have for you. Just couldn't quite get it finished, with the wonderful heat out here in California, and what I'm hoping is just burn-out and fatigue. But it'll definitely be here next week, and that should give me a little cushion that I haven't had for a long time. This page of Bushwhackers is obviously unfinished, and I picked it for just that reason. It shows the steps of the process,...

An Abbey Commission (Yes, Again)

     Uh, so, sorry if you're getting sick of Abbey posts. It's hard to decide what to post every week, especially with so little feedback (hint-hint, lurkers...!). I just get more commission requests for Abbey than any other character.

     Which brings me to a kind of content update. I have another Boneyard short coming up, a 3-pager, which I'll run consecutively so as not to drive you all insane. I'll simultaneously be trying ...

A Page from an Old Adult Title

     This is the first page of a title that started out  (as a number of my titles have) as an adult short, but I liked the characters and premise so much that I turned it into an ongoing thing. The gray-toned paper technique is time-consuming and makes it impossible to do as a comic, financially speaking (although you could say that for most comics these days), so I wrote it as an illustrated novel. (The above page is from an unfinished adult short, not the nove...
