GMTK Game Jam 2020!
So over the weekend I did my first game jam, partnered with a friend. Our first game jam, and our first "finished" game! We had much more planned than we were able to implement, and may revisit it sometime! For now, you can play and rate GMTK Jam games at itch.io (including ours, although to...

Heya folks! July is upon us. This is when the yucky Patreon sales tax is being applied. I think I have configured things so very few of you should be paying much if any tax, but please do let me know if thereβs any weird, unforeseen or super bad impacts on your pledges. I appreciate all of you, es...

I have to apologize once again for lateness and cut corners on this page. It's been a tough week, but not as tough as it's been for some. I hope all of you are safe and healthy.
Bummer: Patreon and Sales Tax
Hi everyone,I wanted to give you an update on some changes that weβll be seeing which may affect some of your pledges. Due to new laws passing in several countries and US states, Patreon will be required to start charging sales tax on some pledges starting July 1st.Less than half of all patrons wi...

Hey hey Happy Easter & Chag Sameach where applicable! Hope everyone's staying safe.EDIT: I originally droned on about the following in the NTO Discord but since not everyone does Discord I decided to drop it over here as it might interest readers potentially? I dunno:Since folks in the site comm...
NTO #1's OG Cover Design
Hey guys! I've started working on a new website for NTO, and I'm going the distance on it, including re-cropping and exporting all the files for bigger, better images and hopefully a better mobile experience. While going through them I ran across this, which I don't know if I've ever...

Patrons, with everyone at home I believe creators of entertainment are more important than ever! Some of us have been able to use this time to redouble our efforts doing what we do, but unfortunately this global health crisis finds me working harder than ever as a parent, and it's been difficult...
Discord Server!
My spouse is working from home, my kid's school is canceled for the next month; it's a weird, isolating time! so in spirit of community I finally made a Next Town Over Discord server (you may have noticed if you were automagically sucked in when I linked the tiers)! General chat is open to a...
Comic Artist Can Have Little A Prose Writing, as a Treat
Last year I revisited the NTO prose novelization a little, to flex my atrophied writing muscles and help keep me invested in the comic. I haven't had time for it this year, it's been worked on in disjointed segments, and I can't remember what I've posted of it here before, honestly, ...
A sketch
In case you missed it on Twitter or don't Twitter here's the morning Procreate sketch I posted yesterday; I still daydream about doing this all ages, NTO-adjacent frontier fairy tale.
Still alive
Hey Patrons!Since I missed yet another week of NTO I thought I'd share with you the rare piece of freelance work that isn't NDAd or generally private. I'll give a shout when the project this is for hits KS.Recent absence has been largely due to freelance but also because I've been do...

State of the Comic, December 2019
Just over a year ago, I wrote this somewhat ominous blog post and then never really followed it up except for a few sporadic and vague updates for you Patrons. I'll do this inverted pyramid style if you'd rather not read a wall of text about my life. Hell, I'll make you a list of the imp...
