Robot Comic #8

(newspaper format here.)

Of all the Robot Comics so far this one is my personal favorite. Maybe you will agree.

I also wanted to say a big THANK YOU to everyone who has visited my Etsy Store lately! Making art and comics full-time is a challenge, especially in a full house, and your purchases go a long way toward helping me in producing these “extra” projects. The shop is pretty sparse at the moment, but I will be putting another batch of original-art-comics up in the shop in about two weeks.

Finally, here’s an interesting thing from the world of Zita the Spacegirl: this family made a Zita peg doll! I think it looks pretty great.

Love. It’s always blowing up in your face. But it’s colorful and surprising too. Happy Valentine’s Day, the most dangerous day of the year! Believe me, I know. I was once given a live possum in a pink box on Valentine’s Day.

I’m dedicating this comic to my mom, because she loves Valentines day!

Oh, and I just found out that Zita the Spacegirl won the CYBILS award for best graphic novel! It’s like a valentine from the internet!

Robot Comic #6

Sometimes things just blow up.

This one's really a warm up for tomorrow's comic.

Robot Comic #5

Another Robot Comic!

Is everybody still enjoying Robot Comics? I hope so because I have a few more of these planned. They'll be posted as I find time to turn them from scribbly little thumbnails into finished form. Most of these Robot Comics are going to show up in my Etsy Shop, sooner or later.

Ink and Watercolor

I’m just finishing work on the illustrations for The Worm Whisperer. I think my favorite piece from the whole book is this little cluster of violets I made for the inside flap:

I have really been enjoying ink and watercolor lately.

There have been a few inquiries lately about purchasing some of the art I’ve been posting. I’m thinking of opening up for a number of small 3X3 inch ink and watercolor commissions, but in the meantime I’ve started putting some things up in my Very Small Etsy Shop. Mostly original art. Also a coat.
