"Whattup, Maggie. Good times reading and absorbing your visceral metal adventure, " steel panther".... Definitely squirted some righteous fluid from the pineal gland due to your lush ink works and free expression! The hilarious characters make me miss living in L.A.! Keep doing your "thang" captain maggie!!"

Aw, this is an awfully nice message to see in my inbox now that I’m back (BACK! back in the USA!), thank you!  Especially the part about missing L.A, every time I’ve been to Los Angeles something weird happens even when it doesn’t involve dudes in scrotum-crushingly tight pants.

I’m a bit afraid of who this is though.  I WAS VERY SELECTIVE ABOUT WHO I GAVE COMICS OUT TO.  That diction choice… 

WITH THE POWERS VESTED WITHIN ME I create this obnoxiously long photoset.  Once I’m done with a similar tattoo sheet for tomathan, I’ll feel ~complete~ enough to start working on that comic.  This is enough tats for now, he’ll get more crawling panthers/knife-wolves/eagles/pinup ladies/song lyrics/empowering motto tats as he ages.

If I don’t decide to kill him in a flaming automobile accident.  Then he will have exactly no tattoos because he’ll be barbecued man done medium-rare yum yum!

as usual there’s no source for anything ever but this feels like maggie’s??? mostly bc that paul matches the one she drew on my invoice???

Awww, this is exciting!  This is the 2nd time someone’s (unsourced) posted a picture I’ve drawn.  How flattering!  But why something I drew literally 3 years ago?

My god, I’ve let that diglett picture stay on the front page of this blorgh for exactly one week.  Let me just push it down a lil with some obligatory observational drawings.

his power is maximum

Hm hm I’ve been trying to get out of drawing colouring-book lines, and do more shape based inks.  It’s faster and looks purdier, y’know?  But then you have to deal with being hilariously asian and the trve cvlt asians are all like UHHH THAT’S NOT HOW YOU DO IT YOU SILLY AMERICAN.

Oh and this was one of my finals for character design.  One of many.  Happy belated chinese new years!  Which manimal are YOU???

YES SO HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO THE FOXIEST GRANDPA I KNOW!!!
He ate my heart ♥ that boy is a monster!

School’s out for summer, and I have the main sculpt for this lil’ kitty done.  Next comes painting, then comes gluing on his mane, and finally fabricating a tiny letterman and teeny jeans for him.

I almost wish I had made him a stopmotion-ready doll instead of just plain sculpey!  Almost.  I’m not that much of a masochist.

The exciting and arousing conclusion of the Steel Panther comic.  Part one is here.

Will this actually continue?  Maybe, if I find the time during the summer.  

Final animatic for visual storytelling!  Sound editing is fun!  It’s weird that this is gonna be the ending for the hair metal comic I’m drawing, but hey man it’s not the ending it’s the riiiiide man.

As always, critique is lovely.  Especially scathing, brutal, disdainful criticism mmmm.  

I had fun (GASP) doing the test backgrounds and pans for this animatic.  It’s like, a speed run or something.  Seeing how fast I can draw a location and still having it read as that certain place, y’know?  Oh boy, photoshop gradient overuse!

But for really, backgrounds seem scary but are really really fun once you start actually doing them.  I want to do more.
