Two bugs (redraw)
1/31/26It was time for a redraw of one of my personal favorite beetle oldies. Originally drawn in 2022(‘23?), I think this may have been the first comic I drew which actually featured these anthropomorphic bugs which turn up in my work from time to time. I wanted to maintain the simplicity of the ...
Just trying to get back home
1/30/26Back with a monkey comic for the first time in what feels like ages. Every time I come up with an idea about primates it feels like coming home for the holidays.
Beetle blogging
Hello my baby bugs. Nothing specific that incited this feeling, but I woke up with this desire to talk a bit about things rattling around in my brain. As I've hinted at in a couple posts, I'm in the middle of drawing and prep work for the biggest project I've done so far (more to come on...
Never give up
1/29/26Really enjoyed coloring this one, tried a dapple lighting technique on the grass that I’m pretty happy with. As always I have a lot of fun designing the eldritch horrors in these strips.
Never beating the nepo baby allegations
1/28/26After receiving multiple requests yesterday as a result of posting the stack of sketchbooks which hold my comics, I’ve decided it would be fun to do a full sketchbook tour on video and highlight some key comics that happened along the way. Always fun to walk through the oldies. As I’ve me...
It’s on sight (classic redraw)
1/26/26This was a really fun one to redraw (first one from 2023) because it’s still an exceptionally difficult three panel comic to choreograph. I wanted to rework the final panel to make it feel more alive and like a real still shot from a fight on Jerry Springer. Also, looking back at some of th...
Why you fronting shorty
1/22/25Someday soon I want to write a longer piece with these demon/necronomicon characters. I’m gearing up this Saturday to be at TrippyCon in Miami FL! It’s my first time at a convention in Miami even though I live here, so I’m really excited to get the chance to meet some more comic artists...
Motion tracking technology
1/20/26I’m working overtime completing art for something BIG I’m very excited to announce very soon. Please excuse the vagueness and maybe sparse posting for the next week or so, but I promise I got something cooking you guys will enjoy.
Trust no one
1/14/26Really happy with the art on this one. Wanted to especially give some attention to the details like the ocean and the reflection in the iPad.
Coconut crab redraw
1/13/26The difference between these two feels especially dramatic. I had to scroll way back on my iPad to find the original, which was actually right around the bat comic I recently did a redraw for. Solid era for ideas, but I clearly didn’t have all my technical faculties at the time. Really happ...
Gonna have to file an insurance claim
1/12/26First time Ive had the need to draw a space background since the Flyer. I am so locked in right now and hoping to get a bunch more comics to paper today and tomorrow to give myself some space for other projects. Two cups of coffee, no shower
Can’t take this guy anywhere
1/6/2026Drawing something from different dimensions is challenging to say the least lol, and yet I seem to keep coming back to the theme. I think the actual character design didn’t quite match what I had in mind but I still think he came out cool.
Be aware he is considered extremely dangerous
1/5/26I really enjoy drawing guinea pigs and rodents in little hats. It always tells a story
If you see something, say something
1/3/26Happy new year beetle gang!!! I actually drew this one before I left town for new years but forgot to share it. I just drove home 11 hours from North Carolina to Miami last night. My eyes look like Steve Buscemi from staring at the road that long and also I ate 2 burgers at different points in...
And he was never seen again
12/30/25Really enjoyed the color on this one and experimenting a bit with painting the explosion/fire effect. Currently posting this from the airport, I’m sitting at my gate and they are blasting Christmas music so loud I hear it through my noise cancel headphones
IT AINT MEEE
12/29/25Actually disappointed in myself in how long it’s been since I’ve drawn a capybara comic. Gotta be my top five animal right now
Atomic purple redraw
12/28/25I’ve been having fun redrawing these year one comics for an aesthetic update now that I have a bit more knowledge on linework and color usage. This was on my list for a while to redo, although I think the original still holds up okay. But I’m really happy with how some of the lighting ca...
I’d use these emojis daily
What emotions would you say these three images depict?
Outside hire
12/21/25I always have it in my head that one day when I’m older I’ll have a big garden with veggies and herbs but the reality is every time I buy a plant it’s dead in a week
He’ll be alright
I’m trying to keep my head down and get a bunch of comics to paper to backlog through the new year! But let me tell you I could use a week off. I’m starting to dream in three panel comics at this point
Absolute heartthrob
12/18/25Just remember even if you live in a rock and are covered in slime, you can still have crazy game.
Get shredded lmao
12/15/25Any time there’s a cool animal that went extinct in the last 500 years or so, the answer is always the same. We literally kickflipped them
Historically accurate
12/14/25Disclaimer: Margaritas were unfortunately invented far too late to have prevented some of the most consequential historical events from happening. If you believe someone you know may be on the verge of changing the course of world history, please get them a flavored margarita as soon as poss...
The raccoon who sold the world
12/13/25I colored this while watching the 2002 M Night Shyamalan movie Signs. Great movie. I think the comic came out solid too
Baddie alert
12/9/25For those less familiar with marine biology lore, this is actually the physical difference between male and female anglerfish. I had this idea, or a vague version of it in my notes for a while. Today I’m doing a bunch of commission comics for the Atlanta Falcons, and another run of comics w...
You’re about fifteen years late
The golden years are sadly behind us for bacon mugs and handlebar mustaches. But I remember a time… a simpler time… when bacon and whisky and feathered brimmed hats dominated mens culture.
Advancements in cheese technology
12/5/25As is the case with most of my comics, this served as a vehicle to be able to draw a mouse driving a forklift holding a block of cheese. Surprisingly this is the first time I’ve drawn a forklift but I can assure you it will not be the last.
Just krilling
12/4/25Heyyyyoooo I’m back from vacation! Had a lovely week in Lisbon where I also got engaged to my incredible girlfriend (now fiancée) (bonus pic attached lol). I also ate my body weight in food and wine, got to see a bunch of cool historical sites and touristy activities. All around it was nic...
It came with the free video editing software
11/25/25Okay onnneeeee more comic before I depart lol. This idea had been sitting in my notes for a while and I couldn’t really figure out the hurdle of drawing a video transitions in a single comic panel. I found a YouTube video with a compilation of the HOTTEST video transitions from the 90s but...
Mission accomplished
11/24/25Hey baby gangsters I got another comic for you before I fly out to Lisbon tomorrow! It’s going to be my first time in Europe and one of only a couple times I’ve ever left the United States so I’m very excited and a bit anxious. Wanted to make sure I still had some backlogged material f...
