Just posted a Year End update to Kickstarter. Backers should have it in their inbox, but you can check it out here:

Ah, man. #watercolour is trending! Here are a few watercolor pieces I've done over the years. I could paint trolls, tomten and Calvin and Hobbes everyday :)

Get first crack at some original art today at noon (Texas Time)!

I always give Patrons dibs on original art. This time is a whole mix of stuff. Everything from little goblin paintings, old fanart pieces from my comic con days, and even the pages from the Beorn FCBD short.

I even found some original art from back when I was doing fanart to sell as prints at comic conventions.

And while I'm still not exactly sure where I'm gonna take the kids on quest/horror pictures I've been doing, I'm gonna put these first ones up in the shop to make room for tackling new ones.

Also have some more recent stuff I'm planning to put in the shop. Like these inking tests for some faerie tale stuff that really got me ready for what I wanted Beorn to look like.

I miss having time to just play around and experiment, so that's something I'm really pushing for in my schedule for the New Year. I want to throw ink and paint around again, especially to see what might come out now, with a few years more practice under my belt.

My brother's here hanging out, so I'm taking the time to get some scanning done (too distracted for actual work).

My scanner's too small for full scans of some of the bigger paintings, so I'll have to also snap pics to post on my shop (planning a studio-cleaning art sale).

Alright, Monday morning folks!

I'm looking for a colorist for Beorn! If you, or anyone you know, might be interested, please DM me with details (samples, page rates). For now, I'd like to keep close to the aesthetic I already have going.

Thanks so much!

(Page included for fun)

I think including some dialogue adds something, namely a little bit of narrative direction to what the reader is involving themselves in. And the black border adds a darkness I like. Might need to see that on the page or webcomic screen, though.
