Amphiox Comic – August Challenge Prep
A Break from the Webcomic DoldrumsI’ve been working hard on Warlock’d, but not in any capacity ready for public release. There is a lot of editing to be done on it (and has been done on it) and it gets overwhelming on a day-to-day basis. One issue has been that I’m...
Writing is Like…
Just What Am I Doing With All These Phonetic Marks, Anyway?I've been deep in the documents lately (hence the break in blog update schedule two weeks ago). A few different projects are being juggled with not much, visually, to show for them. Each one feels endless and...
The Story of an H
On the Evolution of a Visual IdentityAs part of my portfolio capstone way back in college, I was challenged to find my own personal branding. Through some explorations I landed on the idea of making an illustration so minutely detailed and perfect, a person looking at...
Converting a Webcomic into a Graphic Novel Pitch
Retrofitting Dinosaurs for the Future of HumankindRAWR! Dinosaur Friends started out as a webcomic concept, one that I wasn't initially intending to pitch as a proper graphic novel. The first iteration was a slapdash, punk homage to the natural history museums I loved...

Someday, I may open an online shop as well, but for now this exists as an exercise in creating a compelling illustration out of lots of fiddly bits.
Terminal: My New Graphic Novel Pitch
Making a New Graphic Novel Pitch: Terminal!After attending a comics event via SCBWI, I realized that my fantasy graphic novel Warlock’d was better off self-published. If I self-publish Warlock'd, I could teach myself how to make a graphic novel without the threat of...
Afterlife
The Composition that Social Media Made This piece didn't start out as a reflection of some unrelated personal stuff that happened to me lately. It was defined via a Twitter poll where voters decided I was going to draw yi qi dinosaurs next to a stream and color them...
Our Little Editors: A Paw-fully Good Zine About Pets
Our Little Editors Zine: Out Now!My contribution to this pet zine is based off, of course, a medieval illumination. I swapped in my own cat for the striped white creature in the original, and expanded the floral treatment into some typography hanging overhead....
Beenix: A Free Home-Brew Dungeons and Dragons Monster
When I first approached Adam Ma about designing mechanics for the Beenix Dungeons and Dragons (DnD) monster, I had artwork and a jumbled text document full of features that blended phoenixes and bees.
