all four HOME books together The Michaud Bros have broken through with their Science Fiction Opus, HOME. The brothers art styles are clearly related while their narrative themes differ and I like what I've seen and read very much." Bernie Mireault, creator of the JAM and member of the Canadian comic creator hall of fame. Built on a chassis of big ideas and raw human emotions, and rendered in stylish, retro-hip black&white visuals, HOME is pure old-school sci-fi goodness with an unmistakable indie sensibility. Francois Vigneault- TITAN HOME is a gorgeous, deeply thoughtful, and moving meditation on humankind’s endless obsession with the day after tomorrow… our hopes and dreams for which can never really die. I can’t get enough of it. the michaud brothers are magicians. -Jay Lender- Writer/director of Phineas and Ferb, Spongebob Squarepants, and "They're Watching."

If you've ever read and enjoyed my books, please consider leaving a review over on Goodreads.
There's currently only one written review for book one, a nice and very thoughtful summary, giving it three stars.
A perfectly fair review and I think I've adressed some of the reviewers issues in book 2.
How much weight does a secret have when it’s not your own? How does leadership shape the bearer? These are the questions with which Home: Volume 1 is concerned. The story follows two men surnamed Thoreau—Patrick and Emmanuel—both captaining different spaceships and struggling with isolation: one forced upon Patrick, and one chosen by Emmanuel. It’s in this parallel isolation that we see how each man carries or rejects their duties as captain and the secrets that come with the position. After the tragic and unexplained death of the former captain, Patrick finds himself the sole inhabitant of a giant spaceship—Arc 29—capable of supporting thousands of lives, his only companions a giant wolf and a complicated robot. There are secrets to explore and answers to find aboard the ship, but Patrick is reluctant to do so, perhaps still overwhelmed by the untimely loss of the captain, he keeps the answers at arm’s length. Emmanuel, by contrast, holds all the secrets close to his chest, lets them eat away at his vitality as he searches for the answer to a problem that, it seems, he has never shared with those closest to him. (And the larger secret may not even be of his own making.) The results are catastrophic for him personally but it’s a disaster he cannot avoid if he is to fulfill his obligations as a leader. The crushing sense of duty Emmanuel carries is in stark contrast to the breezy life Patrick experiences in the wake of trauma—spent mostly playing golf collecting crystals on low gravity romps, and pointedly ignoring his duties as captain. Not that Patrick doesn’t face his own demons: the shadow of the former captain looms large over the ship and Patrick struggles to break free. Patrick’s story never delivers on its initial mystery—that remains, one assumes, for future installments—and as a consequence the pace lags. But in that slowness the characters and the ship they inhabit have space to reveal themselves. more...

Fancy shot of Rio the cockatiel giving me sweet cuddles.

He has a bad wing, had a panic flight earlier, and now he's extremely cuddly and attached.

New favorite way to not explain my art just dropped.
Ghostface Killah on art: I don't give a fuck if you don't know what I'm talking about-this is art. When you go see a painting on the wall and it looks bugged out because you don't know what the fuck he thinking, because he ain't got no benches, no trees there, it's just a splash. The ***** that did it know what the fuck it is.

I'm Watching the David Lynch Masterclass and this part really struck a chord with me and how I'm approaching HOME. Mainly, how my goal is to tell a complete story every time I put a book out, even if it represents only a slice of a larger thing. There may never be an "end"
David Lynch saying "uh depends on where the end is I guess but in a Continuing Story there could be theoretically no end.
