Less than 48 hours to go on the ENDLESS FANTASIA Kickstarter, y'all! The campaign ends on Monday morning! If you've been on the fence about backing it, now's the time to take the plunge!

We're currently at just over $37,000. I wonder if we can hit 40K? 🤔

Here's another ENDLESS FANTASIA character inspo board -- this time for OLD LADY ZAPATA! It's an amalgam of various elements and characters that influenced her personality, design, and vibe.

Feel free to ask questions!

A mood board consisting of characters from across pop culture that inspired OLD LADY ZAPATA -- a character from my comic, ENDLESS FANTASIA!

Among them are Ms. Frizzle (The Magic School Bus), Master Roshi (Dragon Ball), Pinako Rockbell (Fullmetal Alchemist), Impa (The Legend of Zelda), and Genkai (Yu Yu Hakusho).

20 Days left on the ENDLESS FANTASIA Kickstarter!

Today, I figured I'd share the colored version of the short, 5-page comic I wrote for The sparkFLAME Anthology from earlier this year -- with lineart by @mikeluckas.bsky.social and colors by @loopyyylupe.bsky.social!

(Pages 1 and 2)

You are the author of your own story. Never let anyone else hold the pen and you can write a happy ending...

Can Jack & Jill defeat the Big Bad Wolf's demonic forces and protect the City of EverAfter? Help ENDLESS FANTASIA get made, by supporting the Kickstarter, and find out!

The Blood 🩸 Moon 🌕!! This is based on when I saw the moon back in March of this year!! It was sooo pretty… super glad to have seen it with my own eyes 👀 Pictures sometimes just don’t do things justice like seeing them for yourself.
