2 Years of Petrichor!

Petrichor has been online for 2 years!

Webcomics offer such a unique audience interaction. Rather than read a book in one sitting, it's nice to travel with my readers over a long period of time. At first it may seem like slow going---why release a single page every week? One year's worth of pages can be read in minutes, after all. But there's something very special about forming a bond with readers that can span two years. A book can be forgotten weeks after it is read. An ongoing story is forgotten, remembered, re-read, and then will continue over the course of years.  And I think that's pretty groovy.

All pages of Petrichor were drawn by end of January this year. The story will be posted online in its entirety by October of this year. It's a short story to be sure, but it was a great starting point.

Remember to:
Start Reading
Read Chapter 2
Read Chapter 3
Catch up on Chapter 4


Here's some daily doodles:

And some pokemon starters and fusions that I doodled up:

And make sure to watch this month's Draw Parties, The SCAD Life videos, and weekly Vlogs on my youtube channel.

That's it for this month. June will continue as normal, but I'm super stoked to draw monsters for KaiJuly! Stay tuned.

Hourly Comics Day 2016

It took until 2016, but I finally participated in Hourly Comics Day. This was a great storytelling exercise. It helped me focus more on conveying the narrative rather than the quality of my drawings.

That very same week, I had a really rotten experience at my local library. Still in the spirit of hourly comics, I drew out the incident. It made me feel a lot better.

For the sake of harsh language, I have only included the first page. Click here to read the rest.

With Petrichor finished, I have turned my focus to a new comic that I will be pitching to a publishing company. I'm keeping things relatively secret for now. Here is your only teaser image:

Hint: It's about kaiju!

As far as freelancing goes, I am nearly complete with the children's book I have been working on. I'm also considering revisiting my own children's book that I made in college, Reluctant Roni. We will see.

My That SCAD Life youtube video series has been going very well. I'm going to be interviewing some film students at the start of March.

And as always, I'll end things with a February sketch dump:
