We’re gonna be a TCAF!

Hey guys!  Ananth and I are gonna be at Toronto Comics Arts Festival this weekend!  We’re gonna be tabling with Benign Kingdom somewhere in the the cluster of 218-221 up on the second floor.

This is honestly, genuinely, our favorite show.  Hopefully we will see you there!

2 Kawaii 4 U process gif. (final illustration, as print, as tee)

Here’s the Kawaii design, from initial concept to sketch, color mockup, and finished design.  I’m really glad it resonated with people!  The number of people who stated a desire to get it as a tattoo was astounding (which I’m cool with by the way, please send me photos if you get it done!)  Anyway, thanks guys!

We’re going to be at MoCCA!

Ananth and I (and a gaggle of Benign Kingdom folks) are going to be at MoCCA fest in NYC this weekend!  Hopefully we will see you theeerrrrreeeeee

2 Kawaii 4 U

Omigosh I can finally share this!  At SPX last year I was asked to draw something including the words “TOO KAWAII TO LIVE, TOO SUGOI TO DIE.”  Afterwards, Ananth and I asked if we could elaborate on the sketch and make it into some sorta design and then I did.

This is now available as both a tee and a print over at Topatoco if you’re interested!  And there’s the rest of our store at Topatoco as well.

We’re at Emerald City Comic Con!

Ananth and I will be attending ECCC in Seattle this weekend!  Stop by the Benign Kingdom booth at tables F12-F16, there’ll be all sortsa great people hangin’ out there.

Hourly Comics: 2013

We posted the second half of my 2013 hourly comics over at Johnny Wander!  Man, I was extra boring this year.  Although this is pretty much what my average day looks like; work a lot and don’t leave the apartment.

And again, here are some of my older hourly comics!

We’re doing a release party for Johnny Wander V3: Ballad of Laundry Cat at Bergen St. Comics! I think we’ll have a projector set up - the plan is to do some drawing games with you guys! We’ll have the books and probably some other stuff - hope you can make it!

2012 Monthly Art Meme. (2011 • 2010)

I did a lot of art this year!  Unfortunately, most of it is unpublished and/or for unannounced projects.  And while I prefer to put this yearly meme together with exclusively private non-fanart work, a good deal of fanart/published/professional work made its way into the spread.

I would like for 2013 to be a “keep your head down, work work work and don’t stop” year, though that was the intention for last year and I didn’t get half the things done last year I wanted.  Or maybe I keep unrealistic expectations of myself.

Funny how the year both opened and ended with Dhio and Kaia!  Maybe I should do another portrait of them before the month is over.

Also today’s JW comic was about the time the cat inexplicably smelled like Old Spice.

The Johnny Wander Kickstarter has 8 hours to go and Ananth and I are overwhelmed with the incredible response and support we’ve received!  We put up a short video explaining our feelings, if you would like to see our dumb faces.

Thank you guys so much!!

Maw sticker sheet.

And the final sticker sheet, a gaggle of maws.  The Johnny Wander Kickstarter has one day left!  Aaaa

I think I made an arbitrary “animal group” name for Maws at one point, but can’t remember it.  It was either a cackle or a chatter I think. Maybe a prattle?  A gibber?  A nattering?  I can’t remember anymore.

JOHNNY WANDER NOW HAS A KICKSTARTER!!

Please take a look, if only to see the video of me n’ Ananth bein’ doofs.
