I’m a facilitator at an after-school writing club for teens (and pre-teens if they know the secret password). I forgot my composition book last week, so I didn’t have anything to write in… except the three sketchbooks in my bag. So I pulled out my new Comics! book, which is comics only, and used our [...]
Last year, Beneath Ceaseless Skies published my story “Sinking Among Lilies” in Issue #92. Recently, the 2012 Locus Recommended Reading List came out, with this story included! Since the rights have reverted to me, I thought this was a good time to experiment with the process of formatting and publishing something on my own at [...]

Tod had a creepy dream awhile back, and when he told me about it, I was so fascinated that I began sketching various interpretations and didn’t stop for the rest of the night. I ended up with this: If you don’t know how anglerfish reproduce, you should check out this video. This picture comes with [...]

Nursing school prepared Edie Spence for a lot of things. Burn victims? No problem. Severed limbs? Piece of cake. Vampires? No way in hell. But as the newest nurse on Y4, the secret ward hidden in the bowels of County Hospital, Edie has her hands full with every paranormal patient you can imagine—from vamps and [...]

I got pretty busy, so I don’t have much of my outline done yet on paper, but I have almost two weeks left and a pretty solid skeleton of the story in my head, so I’m not too worried. Here are the first five scenes/chapters, with spoilers! To make it more amusing (to me anyway–I’m [...]

More monstergirls! Once again, remember these may be NSFW. They’re not all wearing clothes. Also, the canine one is farting, because that’s totally what dogs do. Mine are doing it RIGHT NOW. Both as I type this, and as you read it.

Sometimes having a clean house is worse than having a messy one. It used to be that there were like two safe places for my finished art, so I never lost it. Now there are like fifty safe places. I lost my monstergirls from last Wednesday and just found them last night. So I’ll post [...]

Today at the Bellingham School of Comics, I did the above top-left-corner sketch (a scan is included below, in the full entry). It’s a scene that probably won’t end up in Monsterpede. I didn’t have any reference for the flea, because all the fleas that live on me are smart enough to build their condos [...]

Monsterpede is mostly in greys with a few red accents, and I picked up a couple of new supplies yesterday that I thought would complement it. (For anyone who cares: Faber-Castell Graphite Aquarelle Pencil (8B), Daniel Smith’s Alizarin Crimson watercolor paint, and regular ol’ Higgins ink.) This took me forty-five minutes. I imagine if [...]

If you haven’t already seen the meme, there’s a list of “monster girls” that some artists are interpreting one day at a time. I decided to do it, but I’m going to post a week at a time (and probably nine on the last day) so I’m not flooding everything with monster girls! There’s a [...]
