Trying to give myself some more challenging animations to tackle SO a continuous walk cycle with some character acting. The music is there mainly to have something to time the pace of the walk and the acting to (and I think it just makes it feel more engaging than silence).

Was working on this back in January and thought I'd get back to it sooner than later but it's sat on my computer as roughs this whole time lmao. I DO want to get back to this and clean/color/comp it, there are just some technical things I gotta figure out with marrying the 2D and 3D that I haven't had a minute to investigate yet.

At the 1985 Labour party meet, the motion to support LGBT rights as a party was passed due to a block vote from mining unions.

a few years have passed, time to update the examples and the pricelist itself yayyy

if you want to just throw a coin my way and/or see new art a bit faster, feel free to check out my boosty and/or hipolink yourself! boosty info hipolink info

Another sketch dump from some stuff I post on my stories

I want to pull this one out of the tags specifically because I know from personal experience that the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office is just Like That

Like Federal government technology is often behind the times but the USPTO is uniquely underfunded understaffed and a shitty place to work from everything I've heard

As some of you might recall from this essay, I spent the latter half of 2025 working on a comic for the Ships of the Sea Maritime Museum in Savannah, Georgia. Tania Sammons, a curator at the museum who had previously licensed my guide to sailors’ tattoos for a show, wrote to me with an irresistible pitch: four cartoonists would be hired, assigned a vessel from the museum's extensive collection of models, then given six months to produce a short comic for publication in an anthology alongside an accompanying museum display.

How could I say no?

My original brief was to research the Anne, the ship that brought the first colonists to Georgia, but in the aftermath of my dad's death the story took off in directions I couldn't have foreseen.

I'm releasing the whole comic online to coincide with the opening of Drawn to the Sea, the exhibition in Savannah. If you're in the area this week (or anytime over the next nine months!) you can stop in and see all the amazing work that came from myself and fellow artists Avery Hick, Rich King, and Sharon Norwood. Details about the museum show are here.

In the meantime, here's a very personal comic.
