Greetings patrons! Enjoy the first look at Classic Game Room - Farewell and Thanks for the Laser Bathysphere issue #1. These are rough page storyboards.
For a long list of reasons I decided to take my original novel script and convert it into a comic book. One reason is that I like the concept and plot a lot, but so muc...

Friends and neighbors and random drunken dolphin friends - Robot Kitten Factory 2 is so close! SO CLOSE TO BEING DONE!
Were it not for the fact that I'm supervising the layout and cover design for like 83 other books this would have been done 10 times over but the wait will be worth it. It's so good! I love the Robot ca...

It's a great day for Robot Kittens. It's a great day for robots in general. We need an army of Robot Kittens to fix this stupid planet and make every day greater than it is without Robot Kittens.
I hope you've all had a nice June. I have enjoyed it thoroughly and spent a great deal of time biking and more biking and dra...

As it turns out I had some more work done last year on Ethel the Cyborg Ninja 3 than I thought, and I dug it out and finished writing it over the weekend. Sometimes taking a break from a project is the best way to really finish it because the script turned out better when I re-imagined a few things. Cosmic Death Brick j...

I had most of Robot Kitten Factory issue 2 completed early last year but then this little thing called a pandemic hit. While that doesn't sound like something that would affect robot cats, it kinda did because I re-shuffled a bunch of projects and also stopped drawing at my diner on saturday mornings (which is where most of t...

Ethel the Cyborg Ninja 3 is moving along slowly but surely. One of the first pages is nearly complete with dialog.
