Freakin’ amazing piece of art by @mesiasart.bsky.social of Liz. I’m super appreciative of this opportunity I’ve gotten to work with such an awesome team to make AG&T a reality. ✌🏻💚

Lost a backer last night and that’s super sad, but we’re still funded and can make it up!

If you pre-order my 30-page comic, and add-on a limited cover or print, I’m sending 15% back to the artist that created the piece as a bonus.

I hope you’ll jump on board and help me make more. 💚✌🏻

It was a freakin’ pleasure work t with you on the cover!

Ya’ll, if you back the campaign and add-on any of the “special finish” covers, we’re kicking back a 15% creator bonus to that creator at the end of the campaign. (There is a Darkereve Bundle too!)

Hi everyone!

I launched my Kickstarter campaign for A Great & Terrible today. I’m super excited (also terrified).

If you enjoy the #wizardofoz or frankly anything fantasy/adventure this might be for you! I hope you’ll back it, or give it a share.

I hope you’ll consider backing so we can make more!

In the meantime you definitely can get notified when the campaign launches in October!! ⛈️🌈

Hey #comicsky - I know I’ve been quiet… but I did a thing! This is a #wizardofoz story I’ve been working on since 2018 and I’m terrified but pulled the trigger on my prelaunch page. I hope you’ll check it out and sign up to be notified on launch! ❤️

It’s Friday! What are we working on this weekend?

I got a cover sketch from @mesiasart.bsky.social and pages from @zukupow.bsky.social — only 7 pages to go!

Also I’m sitting here pining over my script writing (always). #comicsky #comics #indiecomics

**Cries** Not everything we’re doing is live, but the official @bandofbards.bsky.social website got a much needed refresh completed by me. There is still a lot to do and many things coming, but right now we could use your support. Please consider grabbing some physical books, or digital versions.

Well, this sure is a take.

There isn’t much better a feeling than getting page layouts to approve.

2025 is dedicated to finally doing something for myself. What are you working on this year? Let’s get some more eyes on it!

It’s been pretty awesome to see my first comic (since my defunct webcomic a decade+ ago).

Something great and terrible is on the horizon, and I’m feeling damn good about it.

Great advice here!

I held off making my own project for three years for numerous reasons, one was because I was doing work helping others via @bandofbards.bsky.social — happy to say I’m finally taking my own step forward this coming year.

There is a pizza place near Buffalo that has a life-sized Hulk, and I can’t believe I’ve never been there before last week.

This book was never going to get done if I didn’t start devoting some time to myself, and making things for me.

Big thanks to @ceejthehudson.bsky.social on introducing me to a handful of great creators to help make this a reality. AG&T is coming to Kickstarter in 2025 and I’m stoked.
