A really fun print from Steven Wolf Studio's Patreon page is this Star Wars X-Wing model. Comes as either a kit-card or as separate pieces for assembly. Easy to print and build.

A fun articulated Meatlug (Gronckle) from "How to Train Your Dragon" is hot off the H2D print plate.
Followed by a fun pumpkin crate with a green-eyed black cat popping its head up out of the box. It comes on a kit-card so that young & old alike can assemble on their own.

UTINNI!! Is what the Jawa from "Star Wars" is saying about the "wooden" vase I printed on my H2D. I used Bambu Lab's wood PLA filament in an attempt to give the vase a wood-like appearance.
The Jawa was too cute not to print, so I'm doing a few more for the upcoming comic con.

I love Daffy Duck and this model captures his spirit regardless of which era you grew up watching.
This print stand 8.5" inches (216mm) tall and printed in pieces for ease of printing and assembly. If this doesn't sell at the comic con, he'll go up on a shelf in my office.

Working on an updated character design for Lorraine. Nothing carved in stone yet, but it helps to draw things out to get the ideas in your head down on paper... so to speak in today's digital world.
More to come as I get back into the drawing mood. 🙂

Spring cleaning & maintenance time for my '93 Miata MX5! Oil change & rotating the tires plus new wiper blades & toping off some fluids. Getting ready for another North Carolina spring where everything will be covered with yellow pollen for a couple weeks.

Took a break this afternoon and went to see the new Looney Tunes movie "The Day the Earth Blew Up" featuring Daffy Duck and Porky Pig. I enjoyed the film thoroughly & it was great to see Daffy actually being looney!

New comic post today! The cover for the next story features the band ready to rock. And to launch it off, I've featured the main them from "Star Wars" as what better way to start a story?!

For the reboot of the comic, I created some 3D environments using the tools included in Clip Studio Paint. This allows me pose the characters, get the camera angle & lighting I want. No more messing up perspectives! Also speeds up my workflow.

Happy Valentine's Day to one and all!
I've had these Animaniacs Valentine's cards since 1997 when either Justin or Andrew, my two oldest sons, had to hand out cards in school. The Geeky-child in me loves the Animaniacs, so I have kept the cards around for 28 years.

In addition to drawing comics, I'm also an avid model builder. Currently, I'm building an 1/8 scale Ecto 1 from "Ghostbusters." It'll be 32" long when completed.
The kit is from Fanhome & is comprised of 36 issues with 4 parts per issue. A fun build so far.

My #comicsdna? Well, it's an odd mixture of 1960s cartoons, Playboy magazine, and a webcomic.
It's no wonder my own webcomic turned out to be a combination of all of these styles and/or humor.
