I’m really excited to present Glowing Hearts, my new comic. I’ve been working on it for a few weeks now, and am going to try to upload 3 pages a week, as long as I can. I hope you enjoy[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Glowing Hearts
I am “made a themed mix-tape for this comic” excited about this comic. Also because I made an inside cover for both the front and back. You can listen to Side A at this link, if you’d like to.
“Welcome” Back
This page might be my most redone of all time. The top panel was redone twice from the ground up, and has paste-overs on it, Shelley was completely redrawn in each panel, after realizing I would be drawing Shelley’s car[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Expositionally Yours, Jessica Bottle
It’s been like six years, but I updated the way my website looks. It should be more mobile and tablet friendly.
Eleven Fifty-Nine
Check in
A Big Glowboy
Ugwahoa!
Fun fact: I didn’t actually choose a name for this character while writing this chapter, so they never introduce themselves fully.
Incredible Shrinking Shelley
If you want to read the entire comic now, or just encourage me, you can grab it for a dollar at this link. If you just want to wait to read it here I’m totally cool with that too, no[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
A Warning of Sorts
Checkov’s handsaw in the corner there. Reminder that if you want to read this all right now, you can, for a dollar.
Oh GLOWING hearts
I’ve drawn a shocking amount of owls being mean in my comics. Reminder that if you want to read this all right now, you can, for a dollar.
Estimated Circles
Toll of the Dryad
The real good news
It would’ve been really easy to make a Rolling Stones reference instead of a Hot Hot Heat reference, too bad Hot Hot Heat is both better and vastly more Canadian.
Knock it off if it’s no big deal
Did I look up what AM meant for this comic? Yes. Writer’s secret: there are answers to many questions online!
Who’s on First? Safety
Introduce your woodland friends to ROM culture
External Internal Monologue
No Clip Cuties
I know it looks like I’m breaking the 180 degree rule here (not that it’s as important in comics as it is in things that are in motion) but it’s really just weird perspective. I used a 3D model and[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Doing this “next time” graphic on this page has prevented me from splitting the next issue into two. So get ready for issue 2, which is 60 pages long. Next week will have the side B of Shelley’s driving mix[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Issue 1 Side B
Continue on to Chapter 2! That’s right, I probably should have posted this a month and a half ago with the cover, but it’s too late for that, in that it’s not six weeks ago and I can no longer[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
This chapter was originally supposed to be less than 30 pages long, but I think you’ll be surprised to find out how long it wound up being. I’m about 20 pages deep into the book and the full thing will[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Uncorporated
I’m excited to finally start sharing this with you! But not so much that I’m going to burn through all of my backlog in a month, even though I really want to.
A Foodin’ and a Fussin’
Having a Lemon Party
Believe it or not, I debated whether or not to have someone say “shit” in this comic at all, but more than any other curse word, a lot of the sayings with “shit” in it have their impact changed pretty[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Unmeasured Patience
If you’re wondering if I’ve modeled a number of assets that don’t even KIND of show up, and are unlikely to show up except in extremely rare circumstances: yes.
The TF GF
When I was a teen, I worked at a Panera that was a 35 minute drive from where I lived. It paid minimum wage, and it was after 9/11 so gas cost what it does now. We needed a 15[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Cool as a Cake-cumber
I doodled this out on Twitter as essentially a proof of concept to myself of Shelley as a character, but I needed an extra page to make sure a spread would print right if I were to print the comic[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…

I finished and double checked this issue. If you care to purchase the entire thing now instead of reading it page by page between now and October, you can grab it here!
I messed up this page so bad so many times? It wasn’t as much of an ordeal as the first page of Glowing Hearts #1 or some of the pages from the climax of Spry Adventure Comics. I’m over a[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Twelve days later and also the next day
Wouldn’t It Be Mice
Full disclosure: You can hook as many mice to a computer as you want, and they all read as mice. But hooking more than one in doesn’t add another pointer. When I was in school for 3D modelling and animation[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…

It happens all the time. All of this. All of it happens. Constantly.

Not ready
I may wind up having issue 3 done before I’m done posting issue 2? That’s kind of astonishing to me.
You can buy a copy if you want, or you can wait a few weeks to grab issue 3. Live your life how you want.

Doing two pages this week and then two pages next week to finish this issue off, because they work better as a pair, instead of you having to wait until next Wednesday for the last page.

Guess the girl really couldn’t help it
Wow! That’s the narrative for the second issue, which I have been posting since May it turns out. Thank you to everyone who read this issue, special thanks to those who bought it and I’m sorry to the people who’ve[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Remember what they were talking about on the VERY FIRST PAGE of this issue, way back in May? Well you can go check if you want. My memory isn’t that great either.
