Velvet Collar pg.10

Oh man time was spent researching the interior of a trapeze artist school, which surprisingly, there are more than one in NYC.

If I could go back I would change these motion lines, they don’t work for me now.

This character I got t...

November sticker switcheroo

So…

… I wasn’t feeling the options for the rest of the shop sticker set, after the first one (Incubus). I guess that’s one reason I didn’t settle on a l...

No Straight Lines/Art Center Pasadena

Hey there, William and I will be tabling at the Art Center College of Design in Pasadena tonight for a showing of the documentary “No Straight Lines”, and William will be on a panel afterwards. We will also have a table selling comics and such...

Velvet Collar pg.9

There’s a number of songs in this comic, I don’t know any of them.

Like I said before, all of the main characters are based on real people, real sex workers. This one was the only one at the time who wanted to remain anonymous, which is...

Shop sticker #2/November sticker

Here’s the November sticker! I used this design for some business cards after the incubus design (see last month’s sticker) and considered signage of it but ultimately didn’t because of a hard drive failure where I lost this work file. It wa...

Talan Gwynek (Wer)

Here’s a quick piece of “fan art”. We watched a film called “Wer” last night. The story was good (for the most part), but the filmmaking was unpolished, let’s say, lol. At least it was entertaining, and the monster was memorable. A tak...

Dinosaurs pg.11 sneak peek

Funkytown? Lol. 

Velvet Collar pg.8

Another page in the office—- one thing I like to do that isn’t standard in comics is make each page its own thing. I don’t, if I can, jump from scene to scene in on one page, I like to change scenes between pages. I think this maybe comes fr...

October 2023 on Patreon/ November road map

Hey it’s the October round up post! A couple of new pages, a pin up poster, and some posts if work previously unposted due to contractual obligations. That last batch will continue, but since I am done moving out of my shop, it’s back to produ...

Date Night

Hey here’s the promo one pager I was working on. I’m going to break it up into a slideshow for instagram… we’ll see how well the tall panel works split in two. I think it would work well if you could scroll down, but insta doesn’t work t...

Velvet Collar pg.7

These pages are pretty good considering how I rushed through them. I was also fairly new to using Clip Studio. I see a lot of things I would like to have another pass on, but for what it is, I like it.

A new Feral page (date night) goes up ...

Velvet Collar pg.6

These people all had general descriptions, except James (gay Bono, as said previously) and the two men who kiss James, whom I got to draw whatever I wanted. So the six to either side of James (his office employees) had names and descriptions in th...

Date Night promo 1-pager sneak peek

So in addition to the poster advertising the upcoming “draw you in” story I posted the other day, I’m finishing up a one-pager that does the same thing… promote...

Velvet Collar pg.5

If you haven’t already noticed, I gave each character a color, and this character (Page) has green as his color. And tattoos! 

Date Night

I’m deep into closing my tattoo shop for the rest of the month! I will strive to get a new page up in the midst of this, probably a one pager based around this image, a promotion for the upcoming Feral story that will feature all my Patrons due ...

Velvet Collar pg.4

This page introduces a character who isn’t one of the main 5, but the driving event of the first issue revolves around. He was described to me as a “gay Bono”, lol.

This is the first page (other than the splash I first shared) where I...

July/August/Sept Stickers are here!

I’ve already given a few out in person, I’ll be getting the rest ready to send out.

As far as the Incubus sticker goes, y’all haven’t given me a resounding consensus on which version to use, lol. I think I will do a mock up of a few...

“Stop Resisting”

This is a disturbing dream I had recently. It’s pretty self-explanatory. It was a lot more graphic, but I didn’t really want to draw that. The effect is the same without.

October Sticker- Tattoo Shop Set #1

This set for the last quarter of 2023 I am going to use artwork I made to promote my tattoo business/shop, since it is closing down for good in a few weeks.

This Incubus design I had used on shirts, signage, business cards… it started out...

Velvet Collar pg.3

Introducing another of the core 5, Billy. And a john of his.

Velvet Collar pg.2

Looking back on things I hadn’t hand lettered, I really wish I had… but I wasn’t getting paid enough to do it here for sure. As it is I had to talk the writer out of doing different fonts and text sizes for every word balloon, which would ha...

Velvet Collar pg.1

The 5 main characters were based on real people, the one on the right here is the real one. I got to create the look if the jealous boyfriend.

Velvet Collar hero shot

Hey everyone, the next few days William and I are at a conference at UC Santa Cruz, where my hot bf is on a panel representing queer horror in comic books. I don’t think I will have time to work on drawing much, I may do some, but I will probabl...

Draw you in/8 year anniversary

Okay, so here’s the deal. I haven’t forgotten the “draw you in” reward, I just have been aware that there haven’t been story opportunities for it lately… and coming up aren’t many, either, unless someone would want to be a ghost or a...

Stop Resisting preview panel

A one pager based on a dream I am trying to finish up quickly. ACAB, everybody!

Rough Trade Satyr

I should gather all my satyrs in one place, lol. My first year tattooing a client gave me a resin statue of a Satyr with a big boner, which I still have. I had always been a mythology buff, but this was my introduction to the randy satyr, which wa...
