If I knew then what's so obvious now, you'd still be here

I made a blog where you can read chapters 1 and 2 of Over the Surface online. I have been considering doing this for a while. Although I love making and distributing the minicomics, many people who might enjoy the comic simply would never be exposed to it that way. I want as many people as possible to read the comic, and this will make it much easier to try out the comic, pass it on to friends, etc.

Compared to some I've been around, but I really tried so hard

I was made to believe there's something wrong with me

My contribution to Periscope's sketch challenge for this week:


I think that Cold War is my favorite of her songs. So wonderful.

I heard, I heard, what you gonna do?

God, I love Parks and Rec. I rewatched one of my favorite exchanges today, a deleted scene from the episode 'Kaboom':

Marlene: "You cut through the red tape? Honey, don't you know why red tape was invented? To cover your ass. Red tape is our pants."
Leslie: "Mom, I went rogue. I went cowboy. Now I have to find a way to go reverse-cowboy."
Marlene: "Leslie, please. You don't even know what that means. What are you trying to say?"

Leslie: "I built a playground in a day. A day. It was like your stories of cocaine."
Marlene: "Leslie, those were different times. Everyone in government was doing cocaine. It was like Snapple."

Today I find myself strangely free of artistic duties, so I think I will draw me some Between Gears. :)

Sure of where her strength comes from

Fan art for Faith Erin Hicks' comic The Adventures of Superhero Girl:



I am not one for preaching, but really, I worry about your soul if you are not reading this comic.

I wanted to post the line art for this piece as well and invite you to color it yourself--Superhero Girl does not have a set color scheme yet, so you can do whatever you want! :D Post a link to your version in the comments (either here or on DA).

You know what you believe to be right

Brian Warmoth posted a nice article on my fan art over at Comics Alliance today!:D

(Speaking of...) New art for Periscope's weekly sketch challenge: Joan and Roger from Mad Men!

You can buy the original from the Periscope Etsy store. :)
