The next update for the week isn't so much of an update as it is an overdue thank you.
During my birthday about a month ago, I made myself incredibly vulnerable and shared a wish list, admitting that things had been really tough and if anyone would like to nab me a small pick-me-up, it'd really be appreciated.

Alright, so the first update is that I'm finally getting the orders from October's sale shipped out.
I cannot begin to express how grateful I am with the patience and understanding you all have shown me in this regard, but please know that it means the absolute world.
Unfortunately, I'd made some pieces availabl...
I hope you all see this, because this week I've got a number of updates to share with you all, all of which I think are pretty good!
However, so as not to deluge you with super long text posts, I'll be breaking it up day by day, so please keep an eye out for them! They'll be starting tomorrow!
Thanks so much, an...
I'd like to once again thank you all for your support for this past month or so as my family and I dealt with this situation. Your kind words helped a great deal during a very difficult and stressful time. If nothing else, it helped ease my mind about taking the time to be there with him up until the very end, and for that I'...

As my dad's condition continues to worsen, it does help knowing many of you have expressed understanding that I need to take some time away from making comics, rather than feeling the burden of hitting deadlines while also trying to be there for him.

Happy Thanksgiving, everyone.
I'm thankful for all the amazing support you've shown me over the years, but especially most recently. It means the world.

To this day, one of the most involved commission pieces I've ever done.

This is a bit unusual of me, to share art that's not mine, but things have been tough lately and there's not much new art to share. This past weekend was particularly rough, so I just wanted to share a piece of artwork that I personally find incredibly beautiful.

Been delaying talking about this for a while.
Since about early September, my dad's been in and out of the hospital. We weren't sure if he'd be able to attend the wedding in September. At one point in October, the doctors told us he may have no more than week. Thankfully, that week came and went and he was still here.<...
A fan reminded me of this commission piece yesterday, going even FURTHER back: eleven freaking years! WHAT?

Here's another commission from a while back. I'm pretty happy with the lettering on this one.

I've been dealing with some rather significant family stuff this week, and as such won't be able to finish this week's Mini in time for posting today. However, I did want to at least show a little snippet to let you know it's on its way.

I'm terribly sad to be missing NYCC again this year, but here's a commission I did for an INCREDIBLE fan at last year's show.

Here's some exciting news!
I'll be a guest at the upcoming Chattanooga Comic-Con in Chattanooga, TN from October 21-22! This will be my final convention appearance of 2023, so I hope to see some of you there!
JL8 Mini: Wedding Special
That's right, we finally got married! And to celebrate, I'm posting a HUGE drop of new art and merch to my website. Over 100 new pieces of original art never before available for purchase, the return of prints of individual JL8 strips, and over 20 new print designs, including all JL8 Minis to d...

Alright, everyone! My store is officially live for Patrons! Get first dibs on all kinds of original art, including the JL8 Minis and the original art for the Amazing Adventures of Superman children's books, neither of which have ever before been made available for purchase!
We're rapidly approaching my big mega-drop to my online store this Friday, and here's one more item (well, many items) to add to the list. Individual JL8 strip prints will be returning. Due to the sheer logistical challenge of making the entire catalog available, they'll only be available for one month, so be sure to get them...

Patrons will have access starting Wednesday, 10/4.

Forgive the clunky presentation, but here are all the original pieces from the Superman children's books that I'll be dropping in my shop next Friday, 10/6. There'll be other new originals for sale as well, so keep an eye out for those, too!
And remember, I'll be making these pieces available to patrons first! Thanks so...

Apologies for the delay on getting this one out, but it'll make sense once you see Mini #18 (coming next week).
Speaking of next week, on Friday, 10/6, I'll be dropping a huge amount of new work into my online store. The drop will include:
-Prints of all Minis up to this point (9"x9", $10/each)
-Original art...
