book announcement!

Hello!

Exciting news! My short story collection ish is being released by Silver Sprocket this April. This edition collects my zines ish, and so you write it down, and one short comic I've never before printed! Two thirds of this book are already readable if you're a patron but there's some cool new stuff in this edition. The book was printed with a lot of care. Pre-order it at your local comic or book seller if you're interested.

Checking in.

Hey all,

Happy New Year! Welcome to the new folks. Thank you so much for supporting my patreon! You can find downloads of all of my comics under the "downloads" tab. :) 

As I am sure you noticed, beginning this past Monday, Blind Alley is now posted three times a week! As previously mentioned, we'll see how sustainable that ends up being but at the very least, until the one year anniversary of Blind Alley in May, I will be doing my utmost to post three strips a week. After th...

Art I've enjoyed this year Pt. 3: Games!

   Hello again!

   For the majority of the year, the lack of  in person events made being social synonymous with "playing games" so I found myself spending a lot of time at my computer. Often, even the single player games felt social as I'd sit in Discord and stream for friends as they played something else. Let's have it for games! Woo games! 

   As always, feel free to discuss what you thought of any of these particular game...

*EDITED x 3* THANK YOU

Wow - what a great way to bring in the New Year. Starting next week you'll be getting THREE Blind Alley strips a week.

In all honesty, this may be a tad less sustainable and may lead to brief breaks where I have to pump out more strips but...for now, lets pretend it'll be totally okay and not lead to me overworking myself. : )

THANK YOU,

adam

2021

Hello all,

To say 2021 was anything other than a shit year feels a bit like gloating. There were  glimmers of “normalcy” coupled beside a pandemic and a year that involved record breaking heat waves and cold snaps. In the summer the forests burned and in the winter those same forests flooded; washing out roads, highways, homes, and lives. It was a year where it was hard to feel centered; I no longer long for the “normal” that existed before. The year somehow dragged and dri...

Art I've enjoyed this year Pt. 2: Movies

Hello again and Happy Holidays! 

After a long day of drawing, there's nothing better than flopping onto the couch and letting my attention be absorbed by a film. I think the relationship between comics and films, as a storytelling medium, is often overstated; comics that seek to ape films are often boring.  Movies are time captured; an experience that happens to you whether you give it your attention or not. Relying only on words, composition, and pictures, comics require that...

Gentle Reminder!

Hello all and welcome to those of you who are new around here! 

Two quick things: 

- Remember you can find and download pdf's of all of my self published comics under the "downloads" tag.

Art I've enjoyed this year Pt. 1: Books

Hello everyone,

I've informally been keeping track of my favorite reads, watchs, and plays of the year for ages now. I figured it'd be a fun glimpse behind the curtain to do an annual end of the year blog post that summarizes some of my favorite and most inspiring things I've engaged with over the year.

It goes without saying that this is, of course, incredibly subjective.  I think definitive language and framing things as being the "best of the year" is reductionist and does...

Stroll

Been doing a lot of doodling in hopes of designing a Christmas card…alas - no luck yet! Liked these fellas though!

Red out for a morning stroll.

I wanted to try out animating in procreate…may have to do some more.:)

Hey folks,

I've had a handful of you reach out to receive mail from me. Please shoot me a message with your address and favorite Blind Alley character by the end of the week if you'd like to receive this first mail out. :)

All the best,

adam
