Patreon Patrons
I have recently created a Patreon page, where I will be posting about my works-in-progress, and indeed sharing draft chapters as things move forward.

Taking on Inktober 2016
There’s this thing online called “Inktober,” where artists are challenged to do one ink drawing each day of the month of October. I’ve watched various friends (mostly from comics circles) take it on in the past. I decided I would … Continue reading

I took a photo on the fly of Mount Shasta recently, when I drove down to Yreka, California to take care of the smog check and registration for my car. It’s not an ideal photo, because the car was in … Continue reading
Bringing Out the Mountains
For my next picture, I decided to do one of a mountain lake. Reflections are always an interesting thing to tackle. Once I got the foreground in, I decided that it would be best to define the landscape by doing … Continue reading
