Howdy! I'm John-Charles Holmes, a cartoonist with an interest in comics, illustration, and telling fun stories! I also have experience writing editorials and ad-copy for web and print!

A redrawn illustration of my first "My Famicase" design, featuring a girl in a hat picking apples with a small monkey.

An illustration I did for Japanime Games' 2021 New Year's greeting card, featuring their mascot running under a tori and some fireworks.

Customized label for a batch of my own homebrew cider, named "Medusa Head," featuring a illustration of a green Medusa with a head full of glaring snakes

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? 🤔

"Ideas are like fish. If you want to catch little fish, you can stay in the shallow water. But if you want to catch the big fish, you’ve got to go deeper. Down deep, the fish are more powerful and more pure. They’re huge and abstract. And they’re beautiful…"

when you take your girls out for a boba run (silent hill f spoilers)

scribbly silent hill f fanart of fox hinako, rinko entity, and sakuko entity in an intentionally silly drawing style. Hinako puts up 3 fingers and says "3 milk tea bobas please" and Rinko says "no ice" in hers and Sakuko says "thank you"

Hrmm, the price seems fair considering it's just disc only but always give games without original cases a good once over-- they tend to be the most worn out

I mean...... they're not... "wrong"

Nevertheless, Sensei’s most important moment nearly passes unrecognized. When Bob laments the trouble he’s brought to Sensei’s door, Sensei softly chides: “We’ve been laid siege to for hundreds of years. It’s not your fault. Don’t get selfish.” The quiet denouncement of Bob’s martyrdom complex points to people of color’s self-sufficiency.

I put it on while I was working and I hit a song in the middle that hit me so hard I just froze in my tracks and stopped typing for three minutes. Love to feel things.

John-Charles Takes Manhattan @sonic9jct.jctholmes.com · 2d

I swear, I've listened to this album a dozen times since finding it yesterday, I'm floored by it

Every time I'm just feeling kinda down in general, something that makes me laugh really helps me to feel alive. Thankful for a few good laughs at the end of this week
