Post-It show at Giant Robot. Tomorrow night!
There are lots of things to love about springtime. One being buttercups, which may be the cutest flower. One thing not to love about springtime, is the explosion in the stink bug population. I used to not mind them. They don't do anything, they're slow and catch-able so you can banish them from your house. No big deal! But in the building I work at they are taking over! To the point that one found its way onto my head, and now I mind them a little more. Meanwhile, a coffee cup full of buttercups picked for me by one of my bosses' kids sits on my desk, and I just wished that if anything was going to be in my hair, why couldn't it be those little flowers instead of an imposing stink bug...
*Update!*
Preorders for The Warriors baseball tees are up over at Pizza Party!
What are you thinking about, Log Lady?
So there you go. What'd I tell ya? (She'll be B&W in the zine, but I can never resist color on my own time.) This one's for you, cacophonyofcolour.
"Tales from Aeaea" is a 28-page collection of stories about the various citizens of Aeaea, the isle of Circe, goddess of magic. Centuries ago, Aeaea, the isle to which Circe was exiled, was a place imbued with her magic, and docile lions and bears roamed its woods. "Tales from Aeaea" is set in a universe in which Circe was celebrated, rather than scorned, and she embraced her exile, making the isle flourish. Its citizens are students of magic, world-spanning sailors, and many are descendants of the isle's enchanted animals of old.
Here's a sneak peak of a couple pages from Saturn and Egon's story (who you might remember from my previous zine, "Warlow's Guide to Wizards, Sorceri and Familiars Arcane", a sort-of prequel).
"Tales from Aeaea" will premier at the Small Press Expo, September 13 & 14. Come see me there, and stay tuned for more updates!

The deadline for Bits in Multiples of 8: an 8bit-64-bit Video Game Fan Art Zine is TOMORROW!!! If you’re stressed out about making the deadline, I’ve provided you with some soothing music to listen to while scrambling to get your work done. >:D
hello! i'm a new follower of your lovely work. i noticed that you illustrate/paint using gouache but do you also work digitally? i find it hard to tell, even your illustration for meg hunt's art for japan could have passed for a digital piece with all the neat brushes out there. and i thought that your recent post might be digital but i'm not too sure anymore hehe. either way, i very much admire your work. it's truly inspirational.
Hello! I love new followers (just love you guys!), and thanks very much! Yes, you were on the right track, my most recent post is all digital. I work both with gouache and digitally pretty evenly most of the time, though if the frequency were to lean towards one or the other it would be digital actually. It's neat to know that that's not terribly apparent!
I’ve been watching Jimmy work on this and LEMME TELL YA. This issue is hilarious and it’s gonna be killer! you can get your own copy by supporting his Kickstarter. Please check it out and reblog!
HOLY SCRUNGE EVERYONE! It’s official, Fight Frogs 2: Never Stop Frog Fighting is officially an official thing and it’s going to be debuting at this year’s Small Press Expo!!! Not only that, my Kickstarter for the book just launched like this very second! WHOAAAA!!!
This new book has more sweat, more veins, more punching, MORE EVERYTHING! The Fight Frogs meet their ultimate challenge in a new gang of 80s frat boy muscle-head sharks called the Shit Sharks and stuff goes CRAZY.
Please take a look at the Kickstarter and support this book getting made! You can get copies of the book, screen prints, patches, original art, and more. In all seriousness, this is my favorite comic I’ve ever made and it’d be awesome to be able to share it with you!
