The Nightcrawlers – coming in a week???

I’m extremely bad at updating the blog section on this site, which is evidenced by *gestures at everything*, so for comedic purposes, let’s have a mirroring title on this post compared to the one below to demonstrate how bad I am at updating the blog section on this site.

Geez so like, okay, when did I make that post??? I could probably look it up but it’s 7:30 AM, I’ve been up since 5, I don’t usually like to wake up until 8:30, and I don’t really want to lose my early-morning-madness brain while typing this so I’m not going to. I’m going to wager a guess I made that announcement around end of 2021? That makes the most sense to me. As with most people, a lot of things have happened in the meantime, despite having been a complete shut-in since the beginning of the pandemic. The book got delayed thanks to my two bouts of covid, which also, like many, has thrown a lot of people out of whack, so now I get sick even more easily, although I’m thankfully noticeably getting a little more resilient again as time has passed. However, it is *for sure* coming out:

IN ONE WEEK.

NOVEMBER 8th.

For comic book shops, anyway. For Amazon, Barnes and Noble, Target, etc., it’ll be out NOVEMBER 21st.

And look at this sick promo for the book, complete with a quote from Cullen Bunn.

Which is insane.

Also, my wife has informed me that Google just gave me a knowledge panel? WTH?

So uh. Yeah. That’s wild.

I guess I have a stronger duty to like, remember to update here and such, even if it’s for posterity. That being said, I don’t have the *most* energy to make a complete update on everything that’s happened since (quick list: been in Previews at least three times? Got a story in a Booklist recommended book that also got onto PBS Book Talk? A weird orange cat walked into my house one night and now he just lives with me?) but if there’s anything worth posting on here, it’s some kind of update to, I don’t know, my last post, LOL.

I should probably update my portfolio section again.

🥲

Atlas – Oni Press

Hello all,

I’ve been digging at the comic mines rather fervently in order to submit to Oni Press’ recent submissions opening, which is a really big thing, because they’ve traditionally kept their submissions closed until recently! So, I thought I’d share some of the work I’d sent in (these old things from a year ago when I was prepping for SPX, new pages made and added recently in the portfolio gallery). Oni promises to send some kind of reply (standard rejection, fancy custom rejection, actual acceptance) within 60 days, so I’ll have to cool my jets in the meantime, but then submissions will re-open in two months, so for anyone interested, here are the acceptance guidelines. Good luck to everyone!

Quick Commission Update


I recently completed a commission for a client earlier this month for her daughter’s baby shower. I also recently discovered a love for Bigfoot, America’s greatest bashful yeti. There was no time to get the pieces neatly scanned, but I took some photos before delivering the work. Oh well.
