Cover Reveal: Mermaid Blogger
Here’s the cover for my upcoming book. Mermaid Blogger is the most difficult book I’ve worked on, because it’s very much its own thing and not related to the whole world I have established in Demonic Cafe. It draws on different life experiences, and it’s hard to know what feels like it belongs in the…

Random Sketch
I was looking through my office, trying to find a particular sketch book, when I ran across a stack of old drawings. For some reason, there’s something compelling about the girl with the braid that I just can’t put my finger on.

Fan Art: Dani, Magik and Magma
This is one of the other pieces of art I found in an old folder. This was from almost 15 years ago, and wow, damn I’m old. Anyway, it’s a piece of characters from The New Mutants, a spin-off from X-Men that first ran in the 80s and has been relaunched several times since. I…

Fan Art: 90s Jean Grey
I found some old fan art in a folder on my HD and I figured I’d post it. Here’s Jean Grey from X-Men in her ’90s costume. This costume is interesting, because sometimes it’s colored blue and flesh-toned, like I’ve done here, and sometimes it’s blue and yellow. I like the flesh toned look because…

Drawing Comics Again because…reasons
I haven’t been posting much to my blog lately because I really haven’t been writing, and I don’t feel like blogging if I’m not working on my books. Most people who visit this site are here because they’ve read the Demonic Cafe books and might want more news on them, and I feel bad being…

Fanart: Rin (Bunny Drop) dressed up in the Penguin Queen’s Outfit
(Originally posted on July 17, 2011 on Otakusphere.com) This is a fanart sketch for two shows few people remember: Bunny Drop and Mawaru Penguindrum. This was drawn back when I used to draw everyday, so even though it’s a pretty simple sketch, it’s still smoother than anything I’ve done recently. I just figured I’d post…

Messy Bunny Girl
I felt bad that my previous Bunny Girl drawing was so stiff, so I decided to do some drawings that were more energetic, even if they weren’t in great proportion and whatnot. This was my favorite of the ones I drew. I think this is a good exercise and I should probably do a lot…

Aeka Bunny Girl
I did an assignment for my Storyboarding class that involved Aeka dressed up in a Bunny Girl costume, and I liked the idea so much I wanted to draw it some more. There are a lot of problems here, things that I can see even through my pesky “proportion blindness,” but the point of the…

More Sketches
Continuing with my “Drawing for the sake of drawing” project, here are a few more sketches, all of Aeka. She looks very masculine in #2, not sure quite how that happened, but there are things I like here. Drawing characters super-deformed (SD) is always fun for me.

I drew something kind of cool
I haven’t been spending much time drawing because I’m bummed out that I lost the muscle memory for it that I used to have years ago, when I drew every day. It finally hit me the other day that “Having not drawn makes me sad, so I will continue to not draw,” was not a…
