I re-did and re-uploaded the Shogaku Ichinensei 1992 August chapter for #Zelda Link to the Past. This one has some of the best art out of all of them and I feel like that's saying something. I cleaned it and put it in its own folder at 2400dpi archive.org/details/zine...

A new adventure released on my Patreon. The Forest of Friendly Foes. It's about a town of trolls who's king decided they all had to be friendly from now on. It's a bit tense and they'd all really prefer to keep stepping on wizards and throwing sticks at kids.

I don’t know how the TikTok algorithm knows I would like to see Russian mechanics in tires while some garbled Soviet era sounding voiceover plays. But it does and I’m thankful.
I didn’t even know I wanted to see that.

I thought I'd write about some good how-to books for aspiring comics artists who want to acquire some academic, foundational drawing skills without spending tens of thousands of dollars.

“This calls to mind the trap of layout/publishing guidelines. They exist to add clarity, not to be followed rigidly in to the abyss. If the guidelines say to bold monster names, and you do so and it looks like that is MORE confusing, then don’t do that.”
