Hey folks! If you missed the Kickstarter but want to read Ghost Slappers, I’ve just added it into the Kindle marketplace and put it up on Kindle Unlimited! Help me out by leaving a review!

I've started flyering Chicago comic shops with promo material for my new book (Ever Trip out 10/6 😊 ) and buying comics at each shop because that's the right thing to do. There are so many shops in Chicago and I just started. Pray for me and my wallet.

Locke! Had this on the SNES as a kid and pretty much got as far as the epic Ultros/Opera fight (partly bc I'm bad at video games, partly bc I get easily distracted, fickle). Finally rolled credits this year on the old emulator. Anyway this is in the style of my new book (Ever Trip!)

I really am not surprised if D&Q would turn the other way wrt stealing other people's works (LRT) since they did it to me for Constitution Illustrated. "Fair use" was their excuse for tracing wholesale.

In preparation of announcing, I've been sketching some favorite SNES JRPG faves in the style of our new book. So here's this little duder from Secret of Mana! ALA 2026 Annual Conference is this week. I'll be in Artist Alley table 1554. See u there!

OMG y'all! The Buds behind We Can Be Heroes are developing a brand new game: Fantasy Draft! I had the opportunity to test play with the boys and it was a ton of fun. Plus - if you liked my wacky art in WCBH, I hope you'll find Fantasy Draft a visual treat! Stay tuned!

In Fantasy Draft, everyone at your table rolls dice to generate stats for a pool of Team Cards. Then, you take turns drafting your team based on overall rating, strategy, and individual abilities before doing battle. Credit @maxbare.bsky.social
