I’m in Harrogate and my author copies of my first full graphic novel were waiting for me at the hotel. I’m so pleased with how they turned out. It is real and it’s beautiful!

Also! Among other nice little drawings, I've added portraits of the cast of the current season of Taskmaster to my patreon giveaways. I think all of these are still available except for Greg and Alex, which were scooped early.

I'll be in Harrogate for Thoughtbubble soon with my beautiful new book but you can still get your pre-order in and get some extras if you like!
I'll also be doing a signing at Gosh! in London on the 18th!

I wrote a little about the Order of the Abundance Grace of the Cosmic Christ over on ig, and imagining a hopeful future and an anarchist christian commune of not-exactly-nuns that make up the bulk of the explorers in my book. I wish they were real.

Hey, I know we're all trying to weather an idiotic societal collapse, but do you want to preorder my new book or buy the original cover art drawing? I'm looking for another job(s?) but in the meantime I'm selling off originals to try to keep the lights on.

Finally finished Maison Ikkoku and I loved it. Big thanks to @bettysbooksstl.bsky.social for turning me onto this great 80s romance/comedy series.

It's little Alex Horne!
Reminder: I'm running a special on pencil portrait commissions to help pay for booktour travel, healthcare, and wedding costs. I've also opened up my weekly drawing giveaways to the general public at just $5! Wow! You can't afford NOT to keep food on my table.

A tour poster I did for Not Another D&D Podcast a couple years ago, which has come up in conversation with cool baltimore art and comics folks a few times in the past couple weeks. Such a fun show and such a fun illustration job. I'd love to do more podcast posters.

My fiancee just got laid off so now we are both looking for work. She's really cool and smart and would be an asset to any organization and I'm not just saying that because I'm in love with her.
