Ghostly




These characters were originated by Bevan Thomas as start-from-scratch "reinventions" of established names from superhero comics (Nox The Dweller in Darkness and Immortal Man, respectively) -- it's part of this character origin&design challenge/excercise/thingamajig called Name Game at Cloudscape.

And "21 Journeys" is out. Order print version here (or get it from me), or buy e-book here.

The "21 Journeys" anthology is here!

I'm one of the contributors to the fifth and freshest Cloudscape Comics anthology, 21 Journeys, which is finally available to order right here!
Accepting only PayPal, sorry. But if you're in my vicinity, buy it with cash and save on shipping costs.

...Although with my eCrater shop you're already saving a bit, due to my not bothering to make the accurate rounding up to USD from CAD, and my laziness in calculating weight-based shipping.

The anthology will also soon be available at the Cloudscape site, but that money goes to Cloudscape as a society, whereas the money from my personal shop goes to me. I assure you my shop's not only legal but fair, since it allows me to finally observe rent-paying rewards for this thing I worked on for long nights.

However, obviously "THIS THING" gave me much more than it took from me. I think I'd be happy that you want to read it, wherever you ordered it from.

Buncha knights


Frog Knight.

I decided to take part in the current 30 Days Project with the peer support of Cloudscape. On a whim I set "Knights" as my theme. (30 Days of Knights, geddit HAAHAA?!!)
I have been (and will be) drawing a knight, or a knight-related illustration, every day this June! These are some of my favourites so far -- if you want to see my every single knight check out my dA & Tumblr.


^Coal Knight -- I think I read about this guy in a creepy kids' book once... I think.


^Um... Jedi Knight


^Marionette Knight with neon accessories



Guess I should have chosen horses as my theme instead of knights. Well, more ideas for next time!

Fired up!



My scanner was too tiny for these and I had to photograph them: I am HORRIBLE at it. But I'm real happy with the lighting on her form!

Donate at IndieGoGo (you will receive goodies for different donation amounts) for a classically animated short film by a wonderful artist, Hilary Moses!

Here's the blog about the development of Creamers.

Boo, I haven't drawn anything good enough to post. Well, here's a watercolour doodle instead. (Thanks again, VIDF)

I WILL spam you now

- I'm going to Stumptown this weekend! I'm not selling stuff (but I can draw sketch commissions), just chillin as part of the Cloudscape contingent, table A-24.
- Thank you to everyone who preordered "21 Journeys", donated or sent positive vibes or whatever. The anthology goes to print soon.








Watercolour paper experiments. Traditional funtimes!
I bet you're thinking I traced pictures 3 & 4, but no: I did use my VIDF lifedrws. as references and I have a feeling everyone can tell I was looking at a drawing instead of a live human. But they have a nice screenprint-looking effect.
