Tonight at 6:30pm, I'm going to be streaming with pals @keldrawscomicsoninsta and @jayeatonart to chat about Jay's Runaway to the Stars kickstarter (which has just a couple days left!) and The Goblin Throne kickstarter (which will be starting up in June!) I'll also be live-streaming some colored pencil drawing on my twitch, and possibly -- POSSIBLY -- showing off something cool related to The Goblin Throne >:)

Today was the big final crit day for my Genre Fiction Comics class! I played a game with my students where I made them all hide at least one Garfield somewhere in their 16-page final comics, and awarded prizes to any students who spotted one first and shouted “GARFIELD” mid-crit. The prizes were these little pins I painted, using wooden nickels. Here’s the full set! We keep things lively in comics school 🐈
