For anyone who's seen my work here, you know it mostly stems from a weekly sketch challenge I do over at Comic Book Resources on their Comics Should Be Good blog, run by the seemingly sleep-is-unnecessary-to-me Brian Cronin.
With mounting work pressures, and the feeling I've got all I can out of mostly corporate icon comic book mashups, it's time to move on to other things.
Dan, and George - the other two artists who have been along since the beginning - are also leaving, which means THREE spots are open to take our place.
If you think you can handle the tight turn-around of doing one sketch a week indefinitely, I recommend getting in on the fun!
I used the Line to experiment with style and stretch my drawing abilities, - from faux oil paintings to cute chibi style to teaching myself how to handle a brush and ink (an ongoing lesson) - and even sold a lot of the original artwork (under the protection of 'Parody Art' naturally) for anything between 30 and 100 dollars each. It's a great platform - lots of eyes will see your work, (including other professionals you may admire) , and it also means lots of critiques will be thrown your way (regardless of your skill level, and/or feelings) so it's great for learning how to handle the peanut gallery!

Help get my muppet design on an actual t-shirt
Not the greatest at this whole social media thing, but I'm posting here to give it a go anyway!
I'd really love to win this Muppets comp over at Threadless - http://www.threadless.com/themuppets/sweetums-balloon-rental/ - If you're a fan of any of my muppet pieces in my folio, or the Muppet Thor 24 hour comic I did, or just how I draw them, this is a chance to get my take on the lovable troupe on an actual t-shirt!
If you have the time, please throw me a $5 vote, maybe leave a nice comment. The $2,000 prize will also go a long way to getting me back on track with my webcomic, Max Overacts. The more I can earn from my own art and ideas, and
Catwoman Catlady Print
Hi all!
This is just a quick note to say thanks - again! - for all the favourites, likes, shares, etc. that my Catwoman Cat Lady pic got.
Also just to address the many people who have requested it as a print...
Seeing as none of my own characters are in this piece of artwork, I don't feel comfortable making it a print on this site. Yes, it was originally a commission, but we're legally protected for one-off pieces through fair use or artistic license or whatever, but to upload a large file here on deviantart for sale is to set this image up on a production scale which is technically not legal. Now I know DC and Marvel let artists go crazy
Max Overacts Volume 1
So, my Indiegogo campaign has sat dormant for a long time! Partly because I think I've exhausted my readers who would like to own a copy of Max, and partly because life has been all over the place for me, moving from Nova Scotia to Alberta by car, and having to set up a new house all over again at the other end.
With little over a week left in the campaign, I've raised barely enough to get 1,000 books printed, but I'd love to get the original 3,000 I'd hoped for, so if you're a Max fan, and didn't know about the campaign, or were waiting to see how it all went... there WILL be a book! Pledge now! Any spreading of the word would be greatly ap
Indiegogo Campaign for Max Overacts
Well, I've been saying for a while I was going to do this, and it's now live. It's kinda nerve-wracking because it's a HUGE figure to raise, but also... I think I can do it.
I got a quote for 3,000 copies of a full colour 8 x 10 inch landscape book, so that's what I'm aiming for. On a huge book like this, there's no way I would have made anything on digital print-on-demand, so off-set was the only way to go.
If you're reading this and have read Max Overacts, stroll on over to Indiegogo and make a pledge!
If you haven't read Max Overacts, try it out! You may like it. And you may just like a book of it too. :D

man, to be honest this feels like the end of an era, and I'm right there with you in the whole "getting all that i can out of the experience." I hope this next generation inspires just as much joy as I hope we did. : )
I'll be following your stuff closely man. I'm excited for the future.
