Concrete Arcanum is now -6$ from being backed.

That's right, we're just ONE NEGATIVE SIX DOLLAR PLEDGE from not being backed, which can happen if someone changes their mind or modifies their pledge.

Help us stay on course to print and send this book!

Concrete Arcanum is just one $600 bill away from being funded.

That's only one very expensive cup of coffee per day! Help us get there!

For just the low price of "a little scratch" you could have your own Greggury. Who doesn't want that?!

You've got less than 2 days to back Concrete Arcanum on Kickstarter.

If you back in the next two days and we hit our goal, send me a screenshot and I'll send you back a cool custom drawing!

For those of you looking to back a book on Kickstarter, I've got work in Concrete Arcanum, which is inches from its goal with only 3 days left.

Help us get over the top and consider backing today.

The art and the stories here are worth it.

Hi #PortfolioDay! I write and edit comics. I've written for anthologies and edited successful Kickstarter comics. I've also worked with Image, Fantagraphics, Vault, Fugitive Poems, Marvel, Second Rocket, and Negative Space.

I ❤️ comics!

Cover for Faster Than Light: Futuristic Tales of Family edited by Sarah Cooke, a LKC anthology. The logo "Faster Than Light" flies over outer space in green with blue highlights and a white background that's peppered with blue dots. Bold star shapes surround the logo. Below the logo are 7 portraits of different alien families, encircled by white bubble borders with blue highlights behind them. Cover by Dom Monette and logo by Tim Daniel of Second Rocket Comics. Containment Breach, Fugitive Poems Volume 04: Monsters, Beasts, and Bastards. A purple-skinned woman with long black flowing hair flies through the air as her draping white dress swirls in the wind. She has long red finger nails, which match her outfit's belt and sleeve hole edges. Her dress is a deep v-neck, showing a small amount of cleavage, and her dress has a slit that shows her thigh. She looks like she's beckoning you to read the book. Cover of Dead Dreams: The Lucid Chronicles #1 by Matter, Ogden, Downie, Ayres, Head, Wills. A Janus-like silhouette of the main characters, the dark haired Mexican-Irish Piña Axletree faces left as her doppelgänger the Matron faces upside down and right. The both hold bottles that have seductive odors coming out of them. Surrounding the top of the cover are green leaves and the bottom of the cover is Victorian-esque moulding. Cover by Dailen Ogden. Martial Law preview page by Christian DiBari, Brittany Matter, Hassan Otsmane-Elhaou, and Simon Gough. Panel 1 is looking down from the top of skyscrapers with lights from the roads below. A black drone flies in between the buildings and the lettering says: "The world's population lives in high rises. Building up beats building out." Panel 2 shows people behind skyscraper windows who are all dancing, some with robots as a man kisses another man in a loving, passionate embrace. One person with a hat and coat huddles with his arms around himself, close to the window. The right side of the window shows a black woman with a mohawk who is getting scanned by the drone outside, which is seen in the window's reflection. She holds the hand of a robot with a human face. She wars a pink bolero with a high collar and underneath, a blue corset and topped with a black fishnet over the chest. She also wears suspenders and a black skirt with blue leggings. Behind them is a hooded figure with red eyes who looks as if he's trying to escape the scan.

It's been 25 years to the day since Final Fantasy IX was released. It's such a sincere and engaging game and it holds a special place for me.

A while back I painted up this Vivi miniature and I hope you like it, especially today!

A comic that's not relatable

Have driven for a good 10 hours or so across the upper Midwest this weekend.

Not an incredibly long period or anything, but I've noticed that Cybertruck drivers are essentially the only group of people whose vanity plates effectively say "you're mad I am driving this and I like that!"
