Local boys make good! We’re at the Beverly Comic Con today, and apparently we’re in the paper, too. I think the pic is actually two years ago, as I was rocking the full beard at the moment.

That very rough Candy Winifred from last week has evolved into this epilogue image. Looks like Underborough is getting a whole lot sweeter! The color and story will be coming soon to my DeviantArt page.

Here's the penciled, inked, and hastily photoshopped version of the sequel to Blood Buddies.

Looks like Vampire Angela has the dainty, possibly outdated feminine handshake down.

The pun doesn’t really work, since it has no meaning when paired with the image, but I used it anyway. Here’s a Southern gal as interpreted by a man who lives and will most likely die in New England.

Sketch for an upcoming epilogue follow-up. In this sequel to my first and still favorite epilogue, “Blood Buddies,” a vampirized, confident, and somewhat sinister Angela is invited to another dinner at Pale Manor. She’ll be making a much different impression this time around.

Tonight I’m going to a local board game café (which is apparently a thing) to see some guys who are crowdfunding a remake of the 1986 board game, Fireball Island. It was played on a three-dimensional board in which you tried to be the first off the island with a bigass ruby. But your friends can draw cards to rain flaming hel...

You may not know this, but I supplement my eight-figure comic book drawer salary by managing a frame shop for 40+ hours a week. Some skills of the trade still elude me. This was an actual note left for a co-worker.

I just finished the second season of A Series of Unfortunate Events. I liked it much better than season one. It’s found a better balance of style and storytelling, so I’m happy to report that it’s now only slightly abrasively cartoonish. (Save for the weird tonal shifts where Count Olaf straight up murders people.) I haven...

My attempt at a candy-based Winifred came out looking more like Rule 63 Ronald McDonald thanks to my limited palette.

Found this back-of-receipt Winifred scribble in my wallet. Can’t remember if I already posted it or not. You’d tell me if I did, right?

Twin brother of Jezebel “Bel” Brimston, Lu (or “Cif” as he’d prefer to be called though it’ll never happen) is by far the meeker of the two siblings. He’d much rather keep to himself than hatch evil schemes. Unfortunately, his main weakness is getting roped into his sister’s schemes. His secondary weakness is his...

Beware the motley patterns on today’s egg hunt! It is said that when Easter falls on April 1, the Fools’ Egg can turn your Sunday best into a Sunday jest!

The third male character to appear in The Underburbs after The Hammer and his own father Otis, George Tumbleweed is a classmate of Angela’s, as well as her only human contemporary. The son of a somewhat hot-headed survivalist (Otis is inspired by John Goodman’s performance in The Big Lebowski), George dresses mostly in army ...

Here’s a spotlight on one of my seldom-seen male characters! The Hammer is a low-level demon summoned by Winifred because his incantation was the shortest of all available demons. He has a penchant for snacks and is often sent to perform menial tasks. His namesake weapon was torn from the jaw of a Kludd-chinned Behemobeast, as...

I’m so happy they brought back Gooey in Kirby Star Allies! He’s from the best Kirby game on the SNES. You might be thinking, “I’ve played Super Star and I never saw this joker.” But I said the BEST game.

Dang, I got so caught up in writing the stories for so many different DeviantArt posts that I almost forgot to post something here! Well, since I like the Golden Palm Strike Angela so much, here's a nice hi-res image for ya. As always, the lines for this were drawn in pencil and ink, then scanned and colored in Photoshop.

Rosemary's fairytale adventure may be just beginning, but this drawing is finished. I'll have this up on DeviantArt with a short story soon, but only you, my loyal patrons, can download the artwork here!

With the aid of an enchanted book, Rosemary Morgan is getting into a fairy tale much more than she anticipated! Note how her more medieval garb more or less formed underneath her long, modern-day mom-sweater.

Boo hoo I’m sick. My head is in a DayQuil haze and I shouldn’t be at work. Of course, “work” right now is sitting in a building that isn’t my apartment and listening to Harmontown. Anyway, about the drawing. Out of my two protagonists, I definitely identify more with Angela. Both she and Winifred have their various ins...

Sketch for an upcoming epilogue. Angela recruits Bel and Winifred after extolling the virtues of the funky grandma life. No responsibilities, just pottery classes and mimosas as far as the eye can see!

I knew if I rummaged hard enough, I’d find this! It’s my rough sketch of Angela’s leprechaun transformation from the Magic Lessons. I drew this almost five years ago, but it’s still in a physical folder in my drawing table. I feel like her face came out better in this version. But that’s almost always the case with my ...
