Since I've got a bunch of new people seeing my stuff, here's a tiny glimpse into my horror anthology series.

4 issues, 8 stories, 12 years in the making. It's been so much fun making these for you guys, I can't wait for everyone to see it.

Been a while! Had a change of plans with my comic. I found a wonderful artist to work with.

Waiting for all 5 issues to be finished before releasing it, we are almost done with issue 2.

Look at this! Look how much better he is than me!

Devin Kelsey is a GOD!

It's "Monsters and Madmen" Monday, again!

It's so close that I can taste it. Got some BIG things heading your way next week. A lot of my dreams are coming true. So tune in next Monday, and really, the rest of the week, because there's too much news for one day.

Welcome back to "Monsters and Madmen" Monday!

I got the cover art for issue #0 this week, it looks gorgeous! I'll be sharing that with you all, soon. Also started scripting the second story this week, and had a meeting with a couple special people. Exciting things to announce in the next few weeks.

Welcome to "Monsters and Madmen" Monday!

Its been a busy few weeks for me, with birthdays and vacations and starfield...

Gonna start scripting stories 2, 3, & 4 this week. And I MIGHT have found an artist to take over for me. I'm starting to like the finished product, but I take too long.

Happy "Monsters and Madmen" Monday!

Just spent the weekend in Salem, MA. I'm in love. What a wonderfully dark place. I think I might move there.

Also, got the test print in for the sneak preview issue! It's looking good! Just waiting on the cover and ad to be finalized, & I can push it to market!

With the holiday, I almost forgot that it's "Monsters and Madmen" Monday!

Page 8 of 10 is the last I'll be posting online. Got a special post next week, and then I'll be posting the finished art.

It's "Monsters and Madmen" Monday!

Fun news! I've signed on an artist to do the cover for the preview release! I've also been toying with the idea of doing a kickstarter for the full issue. I'd like to pay an artist to do the rest of the art, and a big name artist for the cover.

Here's page 7!

It's Monday, so you know what that means! More info on my "Tales of Monsters and Madmen" comic.

Comprising 3 stories, the first is "Monsters and Madmen". I wrote the script about a decade ago, and this weekend I finally finished it.

Gonna have a mini-release in a few months, like a preview issue.

It's "Monsters and Madmen" Monday!

Today we've got page 5. I was still unsure how to do fire at this point, so I just put it off until later lol. I mean, I still don't think I've figured it out, but I've gotten a bit better.

Got some big news coming up pretty soon, so keep an eye out.

It's "Monsters and Madmen" Monday, once again!

Here is page 4 of 10. The hardest part for me in all of this was the faces. Having never drawn anything before, I had no idea how to do faces. I watched hours of YouTube tutorials to try and figure it out, and I just barely squeaked by lol.

It's another "Monsters and Madmen" Monday!!!

Learned a lot working on this page. This whole comic has been made on my phone, using Adobe Sketchbook and a stylus. It gets the job done, but it's not my favorite. For any future comics, I'll use paper and inks, as is tradition.

Here's Page 3.

It's "Monsters and Madmen" Monday!

I started playing around with perspectives a bit more on this 2nd page. Started learning what works and what doesn't, visually. I also learned that faces are hard. I still don't think I've nailed down a visual style for faces yet, but hey, this is my first time.

First wave - Max and Disney+ cancelled.

Netflix, Hulu, Apple+, Paramount, and Prime are on the chopping block for the Second Wave.

Really, all my rage stems from the cancellation and removal of Willow. This current streaming model is a thing of the past. "Let the past die, kill it if you have to."

Now realizing I should probably post the scripts for the unfinished pages that I'm posting. Many important elements left out.

You'll also be able to tell that I don't necessarily follow the script religiously. In the process of trying to draw it, I'm learning a lot about writing as well.

Welcome to the first ever "Monsters And Madmen" Monday!

A decade ago, I wrote a short horror comic. Over the years, a few artists were attached, but they always fell through. I recently gave up and decided to just do it myself. I'm not very good, but it's mine.

Here's the linework for page one.
