Young Shadow & The Watchdogs away games for fall 2026. May have a couple more pop up, but either way I’m happy to be back on the circuit. I will have stacks of all three Young Shadow books, the new sketchbook zine, and hopefully in November a new 60 page self published comic.
Some electioneering, we'd appreciate your vote in the @nashvillescene.com Best of Nashville 2026! Possibly in the categories of "Best Art Happening," "Best Event/Festival," and "Best Free Fun" under the "Arts and Culture" category. Voting is open through August 26th. vote.nashvillescene.com

I wanna talk about an upcoming event @slicexpo.bsky.social having: a fundraiser for SLICE! SLICE is made possible from generous donors like yourself and regional arts grants. These grants help keep SLICE programming free. But our funding was delayed this year! www.eventbrite.com/e/an-afterno...
