Alright, the new chapter of Firewood drops this Saturday!

This one took a little longer to finish than I would have liked. Throwing my back out in January probably

didn't help too much (take care of yourself, kids!).

Either way, really excited about this one! Here's some pics of

the boards.

~big ol stack of comic pages~

With these, the total page count has reached 100 PAGES! (dear God what have I done)

I'm gonna focus on getting this thing ready for primetime, and hopefully do an actual painting next!

Catch ya'll soon

Touched up my comm info to be more up-to-date. As usual, feel free to hit me up if you're interested!

Welp, 2023 has wrapped up! This has been, without exaggeration, the biggest year yet for me and my work! Of course, alot happened in my personal life too, but i'd like to keep it focused on the art stuff here.

I would have done one of those cool "best piece of each month" recaps, but I don't really have enough paintings this time hehehe. Not because I drew less (far from it), but we'll get to that later. I did have time to put this lil painting together though!

The first highlight was definitely the TMG meet-up in Philly. I got to spend an insane week with my close friends that I'd met over the past couple years. I would have been satisfied with just getting to see my pals and doodling together, but seeing what that event exploded into was something to behold. I got to meet alot of cool folks out there (you know who you are <3), and I got to make some great memories! I'm not one to share photos, so here's the poster made by @CorTat-G and @Hibachi !

Next I'll touch on Newgrounds Summerfest! I remember when the first one was in the planning stages back in 2021 with @Stanpai and @LilSpook. It proved to be a cool evolution to end up asisting in running the event alongside @Kekiiro and @Anislug! I didn't do much in the way of hosting, but I was able to direct our opening animation! It was a wild month and a half, and I think the final animation came out beautifully. If you're reading this and you worked on it, let me extend one more thank you! I really don't know if I can say it enough lol. I'll link below to the OP animation, as well as the YT channel where you can watch all of the programming we had! It was a blast.

Lastly, I'm happy to say I released a comic this year! I've been working on Firewood since at least last spring. I'm really excited about it, which might be obvious since I've basically been plastering Polly and co. all over the damn place. Working on it has probably been the most fulfilling thing, art wise, that I've ever done, watching a story in my head materialize into what's now 3 chapters and counting! Needless to say, I'm raring to make more in the new year!

If you've read the story, it means so much that you'd take the time out of your day to do so! "Thank you" barely cuts it lol. If you haven't, give it a quick look! It's got a bit of the Sandlot, mixed with a bit of Bioshock and the like. If that sounds dope to you, here's the playlist! Look forward to more chapters in '24!

Here's to 2023! A year where I feel a lot things have culminated for me. Course, that doesn't mean the work is over hehe. Happy New Year, and cheers all!

Hey all! It's been a long time comin', but I

can finally share this with you all in earnest!

Now that the update to the site has dropped, I'm going to release

my new comic, Firewood, on October 1st!

Firewood is the story of three "well behaved" kids living in Firewood, MI.

It's an out of the way place, so small that outsiders might find it eerie.

To Polly, Corey, and Gordon it's just home. Until one night, when the three

find a bracelet that grants the wearer strange powers!

What would three unruly and unsupervised kids do with such power?

Probably nothing good, but they'll need it for what lies ahead!

You can read chapter 1 in two parts on October 1st,

exclusively here on Newgrounds!

I also want to give a big thank you to @PsychoGoldfish and @TomFulp for

this insane update! This release wouldn't be possible otherwise, so thank you from the bottom

of my heart!

I look forward to making more, and I hope you all look forward to reading!

I wanted to start with thanking you guys for 1k fans! You guys have shown alot off love for my stuff and I'm filled with gratitude. I'm very proud to call Newgrounds my home!

I also wanted to include my 2022 art summary here! It's been an odd year for art. There was a lot of experimentation and changing of media and trying different things and all kinds of things. It was fun, though I feel I lacked focus in alot of places. It was a struggle to find stuff to put in March in April -_-

As far as what's next, uuuuuuuuuuhhhhh....I dunno lol

Happy New Year, fools :3

The photoscanner has been coming in handy! Check out the paintings reuploaded so far!

Hey bois! (and girls I guess)

I finally got a photoscanner so I'll be going back and replacing the images on my trad stuff with high res scans!

The first one's already done!

Hoping to get them all done soon!
