VIKING TIIIIIME!

 I'm super excited to announce my first in store event-y fun times thing! I even drew this new RÖK illustration special for it. I peer pressure you all to come visit me at Isotope this Saturday! Viking helmets highly encouraged...

ARE YOU READY TO RÖK?!

My mighty band of heavy metal viking gods and I are taking over the Isotope this Saturday! Come hang out and get your hands on a copy of the shiny, brand new third issue of RÖK. Follow Elaine and the rest of her Nordic crew as they attempt to outwit the king of giants!

(No worries if you missed out on the first two issues. There will be copies available so you or a friend can get caught up on the sweetest magical-girl-rock-epic of all time!)

Also, extra awesome points and an honored place in Valhalla to viking warriors who come in appropriate garb and a wanderlust-y attitude!

RÖK ON!! \m/-_-\m/

RÖK #3!!!!!!

IT REALLY EXISTS! ISSUE THREE LIIIIIVES!

When I started the first issue of RÖK, I never imagined I'd be sitting here a year later with the third issue of to the printer and looking better than ever! That's almost 75 pages of vikings! When I get back I'll share some sample pages, and some of my process for this issue.

See you at Stumptown in Portland!!!

GIANT SPACE DRAWING AAAAAH~!

This is the giant-est most epic drawing I've ever done! It was super fun. I meant to save a few more steps in completing it, but I was having too much fun and forgot. I worked on it as a commission, but I hope to make some prints of it too. Its 30"x12.5" so it makes a pretty awesome-tastic poster! Also I hid some cool characters in there, you should try and find 'em! Woooo!

MORE VIKINGS! AND WEIRDNESS!

I was playing around with taking photographs of food coloring in water. It turned out to be way too entertaining, now I have hundreds of these photos hanging around. They're fun to draw from though!












Obligatory viking drawing! So spooky!

Die Antwoord and Noise Pop 2012!!

Hey all, here's my comic from this year's Noise Pop! (Last year's comic here.) Die Antwoord is super awesome, and I was really happy to get to see their show. I'm also pretty sure I'll be selling prints of this soon!

Anyway, I actually made a second comic which has been hiding around my computer until now, so I thought I'd share that as well. I really love drawing Yolandi! And also, there really was a sad unicorn, although I think he became a happy unicorn because someone gave him a ticket to get into the show...

I still have more arts hiding around, so I'll update again real soon! Raaaaah!

LONG LOST APE 2011 POST!

I've realized that maybe I should have posted a little bit about APE last year, which was the most amazing time ever. The 2nd issue of ROK was far more successful than I ever expected. I don't know why its taken me so long to put it in my blog (extreme shyness?) but I'm so happy to say ROK#2 won the Isotope Award for Excellence in Mini-Comics!


This has certainly motivated me to keep up with ROK's twice a year release schedule, so expect #3 at Stumptown in Portland at the end of April! I'll try and post more about the process this time around, I think. Its pretty crazy and intense!

Until then, here are some preview pages for ROK#2 if you haven't gotten to take a look yet. Both issues of ROK are still up at my Etsy store here.






Of course I was not alone at APE! I was with the awesome and lovely ladies Jemma Salume and Kelly Martin! Together we make the unstoppable comic force that is.. Comic Strip Club! Oh so punny... Our table by far was the most horrifyingly sparkly thing in the con, and therefore the best.


Kelly Martin is the creator of Doctor Lollipop! So cute! So funny! So full of disturbing and offensive jokes!



Jemma Salume made Captain Kitten.. Its full of dinosaurs and cats, how can you not enjoy that?


Apologies for this post which was due soooo many months ago! I'm not sure where it disappeared to.. I have lots more new stuff to talk about too. I may have been quiet lately, but it isn't because I haven't been drawing! Yay!

Save a Sidekick!

Robin is laid off due to budget cuts.. Every comic you buy helps a sidekick in need! It was my idea for an assignment to use propaganda in an illustration, so I hope you feel sufficiently guilt tripped now.

No, this isn't a new comic.. I'm behind on personal work for reasons I'll hopefully be able to show off soon!
