So here's something worth mentioning: yesterday I finished pencils on the first new JL8 page in about four months.
One down, three to go.
Hope to have it ready to post soon. As as always, thank you for your incredible patience. This year has been...something else.

While I get back into the swing of drawing, I've been tackling some overdue commissions. This is a commission I decided to add some color to, and I think I'll make it a print in my online store. If you're interested, they'll be 9"x12" for $10. Visit ...

After nearly a month, I'm finally free!
I had my follow-up appointment with my orthopedist and he gave me the all-clear to ditch the brace and return to work, and to say I'm excited is an understatement.
However, I will need to take it slow. Nearly four weeks of not using my wrist took more than a toll than I anti...
2019-09-20 21:03:52 +0000 UTC View PostHello, everyone!
Apologies for the radio silence. Recovering from DragonCon has taken some time, but my energy levels are back up, so I wanted to give you all a little update on how things are going.
First and foremost, my wrist is feeling much better, but I still have until next Wednesday before I go back in for ...

2019-08-30 15:35:48 +0000 UTC View PostWent back to the orthopedist to get my wrist x-rayed. Turns out it was inflammation of the tendon (or a tendon, anyway), and I'm in a heat-mold hard brace for the next three weeks.
I'm sorry, folks. I'm gonna need you to be patient with me a little while longer. :(

Hey there, all! In some good news, I'll be returning this weekend for the first time in four years as a guest at DragonCon in Atlanta, GA! Admittedly, I'm not sure how my injury will impact my time there, but I'll have merchandise and original art for sale, and most importantly, I'll be at my table happy to m...
2019-08-27 20:48:27 +0000 UTC View PostSo, Sunday night, my wrist got significantly worse, to where I had virtually zero range of motion and it was incredibly tender. I booked an appointment with an orthopedist, which I just returned from, who said that without an X-ray they couldn't really recommend a course of action, so I have to go back tomorrow to have that d...
2019-08-27 16:30:41 +0000 UTC View PostI apologize for going radio-silent in the wake of last weekend's sale, but my life has essentially become one giant shipping effort.
