I adapted a Flannery O’Connor short story called The Life You Save May Be Your Own. I made a few key changes from the original in hopes of saying something about the story and about O’Connor’s work in general. – I didn’t read any books or comics this month. I’m annoyed and discouraged! This hasn’t […]

Here’s a short comic about the future. I’ve been using this technique of subtle digital color over colored pencil for several recent strips – it masks some of the weird color variations in the color pencil scans, and shifting the colors can affect tone within the strip in interesting ways. It also allows me to […]

Two new comics this month, both related to the Warmer anthology: my full strip for the book was posted on Guernica, and I also drew a second short piece appropriating words and images from other Warmer contributors. – Swimming Studies, Leanne Shapton Beloved, Toni Morrison Six Memos for the Next Millennium, Italo Calvino Invisible Cities, Italo […]

Just a short strip this month, since I was working on longer projects. I’m now working on a third comic in this same vein (the first one is here) and they all feel…off somehow. Like I’m missing the mark. Not sure what I mean beyond that, or how to fix it. I’ll have to think […]

Here’s an autobio strip about making comics. This started as my 30 Days Comic project last fall, but I found it wasn’t working and I stopped. This version is restructed and cut down, hopefully to make it a smoother read as well as less focused on me individually. I think comics-about-comics are extremely difficult to […]

This month I posted a comic I made last year called Seeking Joy. I wanted to share it because the goal stated in the title is something I’ve been thinking about a lot lately. – Extended Play, Jake Terrell Perfect Hair, Tommi Parrish Altcomics Magazine #5, ed. Blaise Larmee Drone, Simon Hanselmann Secure Connect, Carta […]

These are getting longer. Should I start putting them under a cut? Here’s a preview of the book I’ve been working on since early 2016 – not continuously, but I’ve definitely put a lot into it. I wrote it in thumbnails, set it aside, then came back for edits and final pages. It’s about family […]

I posted a comic on January 20th. An outpouring, an ode to the never-ending beauty of a scribble, the first of many attempts to say something about our immediate concerns while also remaining committed to other avenues of making it through. I also have a comic in the special issue of Inkbrick, for which a […]
