Here you'll find the remains of the artistic process, as they call it. Whoever they are. Beware, fragile humans, many of the images found in these pages will have blood, gore, possibly subversive thoughts and nudity. Dear me, censor your eyes immediately away from this site if such things are likely to offend or frighten you.

Like any work of great torture, this page has been hacked up and reassembled into something vaguely organized. Our structure for this organization is divided up by comics of a series. Some series took a lot of time and work and produced only the most wretched of results in return. Others are far more pleasant and will only assault your finer tastes for a short time. They are arranged in alphabetical order for no particular reason.

Of course, it's not up to me to introduce these works to you. That tasty little chore belongs to the penman.

10 Hour Comic

Dearest sirs or madams,
Please allow me to apologize in advance for both the quality and content of this comic. You see, it occupied but 10 hours of my time and progressed at a rate of 1 page per hour. You will find more information on that particular subject just before the comic, should you decide to follow this link.

24 Hour Comic

Herein you'll find my first completed 24-hour comic. As with the 10-hour comic, it was done at a rate of 1 page per hour. Regardless, I was somewhat able to keep a small degree of quality within these pages. I hope you enjoy it as much as my tinsel-constructed elf friend does.

24 Hour Comic - White Rose

This is my second completed 24-hour comic and I think it's a nice mark of progress since my previous one. This is a story of White and Rose, two sisters who really ought to just get along.

Addiction

This is a short done back in March of 2008 over the course of a weekend. It was made as a birthday present for a special someone who I think may have appreciated it for some reason.

A Few Things You Should Know

Herein you'll find a short 7-page comic written by friend/fellow slave Christopher Martin and drawn by yours truly. This is our first collaboration project but not our last, and I'm surprised with how much I ended up liking the whole thing.

Canberry

Since I often enjoyed unwittingly creating the same character over and over, I made this short lived series of comics around 2004. The difference with these is that I began to use a red/white/black color scheme and had a goal of using only symbols for text bubbles. I still rather like these anyway, in particular the first one, and so I've hung on to them over the years.

Daily Comics

This was an experiment to try to force myself to draw something every day. Many of these were done over a lunch break or during dinner. Occasionally I would have plans for the evening and have to draw them while at a social event. But I did manage to draw one for every day and fill my sketch book up that way, so hooray.

Drawn People

These drawings have been done intermittently over the years. Most of them are based on photo reference and created as gifts. As much as I like the look of them, I don't find them terribly creative and so my favorite ones are heavily stylized.

Little Elroy

Ahh, these would date back to 2003. A most unfortunate time to be me, and an even more unfortunate time to know me, I'm sure. Still, I love this little character who really just needed a good hug. Also, there's at least one good chap out there with a tattoo of this character, so perhaps Elroy is better loved than he thought.

Marionettes

Based on a dream of a friend. I wrote it down and locked it away, only to have it resurface years later and swirl around in my brain. I love the setting and style of this one. Its pacing, however, I believe killed it. That and its vagueness. Still, I didn't mean for this one to be easily understood by anyone, myself included. This was done over the course of summer and fall of 2008.

Misc

This category serves as a catch-all for anything that doesn't qualify for its own category. As a result, you'll find drawings in here from wildly different dates, in different styles, and of differing quality. Honestly I cannot quite remember everything I've thrown in here, so good luck if you decide to go exploring.

Other Side - Part 1

Done over 2004-2005, this marks one of my few completed projects. Well, partially complete really. There are three parts planned for this comic and I've only begun to rekindle an interest in working on a second part so far. You'll see a lot of me playing around with styles, experimenting, and learning in these pages. There's also a lot of crap, but it's mine, and so I have a soft spot for it. Overall, I'm still rather proud of this one.

Other Side - Part 2

Completed back in 2009, this is the second part of my planned trilogy for OtherSide. It's the middle child of the series. As with much of my work, there's a lot of frames I love to pieces and a lot that I am ashamed to have on view. Regardless, it continues the story along and moves us towards the third part, which will be coming along eventually...

Ruin

This marks my first experimentation with some vector graphics. It also shows my tendency for black/white/red and begins to settle into my current style. Also, there are briefly zombies involved. It's currently unfinished, and I do hope to return to working on it since it is meant to be short and sweet.

UndeadPortraits

Once I ran into writer's block for content on my daily comics, but still had space in my sketch book to fill, I started doing one-shot drawings themed around skeletons. These were the results.
