I decided sometime back in 2011 that I was going to really start focusing on improving my art. So, I’ve been drawing for a few years now. I mean, I’ve been drawing–more or less off and on–since I was a kid, but. Well. You know what I mean. One thing that I’ve tried to do […]
Okay, so here’s the deal with 2015
I still don’t like resolutions. I never really have, but it’s only been the past couple of years where I’ve actively campaigned against the concept in general. Regardless, here’s some things (just a random collection, odd assortment, kind of things – nothing official, really) that I hope to focus on in the coming year. My art […]
It’s NaNoWriMo time again!
Okay, so today is November 1st, and my wife probably thinks that I’m already hard at work on my NaNoWriMo novel as I sit here clicking and clacking away at the keys of my computer, but I’m really just writing a blog post for my site to let everyone know that YES, I’m doing […]
On the marking of milestones
On Sunday, July 13th, I posted a new Arcadia comic with very little fanfare. It was a busy weekend, we had just celebrated our daughter’s fifth birthday with a big family party the day before, and we were recovering and cleaning and just generally enjoying the quiet that comes from a week’s worth of effort gradually […]
Gamers should WANT more women in their games
There’s a kerfuffle on the internets, kids. There always is, of course, on every topic imaginable. Even topics you wouldn’t think are all that controversial have combatants arguing both sides as if the very act of debate gives one viewpoint validity over another. Take the issue of representation in games. Ubisoft unsurprisingly recently revealed yet another entry […]
So we’ve been reading a few Marvel comics lately
I’ve gradually been leading my wife into the nerd world over the past few years. It was slow to start, but once she saw Robert Downey Jr. portray a pretty amazing Iron Man/Tony Stark, and then discovered the magic of Tom Hiddleston and Benedict Cumberbatch, she’s been rocketing past me in fandom at a fairly brisk pace. And really, […]
Introducing Arcadia!
Last month I hinted at a project that will allow me to push my art and continuously iterate and improve my skills. Well, after several weeks of planning, drawing, building, and nervously biting my nails, I’m finally ready to unveil that project. Allow me to introduce my mistress these past few weeks, ARCADIA. Arcadia is […]
These are not the 2014 resolutions you’re looking for
This coming year, there won’t be any new year’s resolutions for me. Oh, I’ll probably start trying to eat better, and maybe try to lose a few pounds, because let’s face it, I need to do that regardless. Be a better husband and father? I like to think any man (myself especially) would strive to […]
The sounds of typing fills the air
As you probably no doubt remember, we’re participating in NaNoWriMo this year. As I sit here, we’re a full one-third of the way into the NaNo season, and things are very interesting. As you can see by my stats, I’m actually doing very well this year – far and away better than the last time […]
Nan Oh Rhyme Oh
It’s that time of year, again. The fall leaves changing, the air is getting colder (I think I covered most of this in my last post). But most of all, we’re quickly approaching November. And that means: NaNoWriMo. For those unfamiliar, NaNoWriMo is National Novel Writing Month. The time of year where thousands of people […]
