Now the second edition of Carnivale is not only available in print, but also in pdf format. You can get either version through Gumroad. The print edition is nice (and I prefer print personally), but the pdf is cheaper. $9.99 versus $19.95. Now that Gumroad allows selling physical products, I’m doing everything through it to simplify things. I’ve added the …

Does the shape of a panel carry inherent meaning? A square panel seems to imply stability. Its four equal sides create a sense equilibrium. Rectangular panels imply movement, horizontal for wide panels, vertical for tall panels. From fine art we also learn that these shapes can infer content. Wide frames are for landscapes, tall are for portraits. Circular panels create …

It’s one thing to draw in pen-and-ink, but quite another to reproduce it. Back when I was photocopying everything, I had little control over what I got.

“Museum Piece” is an old idea that I started on in 2007. That version was done in sepia ink and watercolor. It looked kind of nice, but I really didn’t have enough experience with ink and watercolor and there were a lot of mistakes and accidents that made the process really slow. So I scrapped the story. In my recent …
A twelve-page story if mine called “In Water” is in issue 111 of Red Fez. https://www.redfez.net/graphic/memory-in-water-224
Starting today, Carnivale: a Kit Kaleidoscope Story will be serialized weekly on Tabulit. If you don’t know, Tabulit is an online comics reading subscription service. It works a bit like Netflix; you pay a monthly rate and can view all the stuff you want. The artists get a cut of the monthly subscriptions. I serialized Carnivale here a few years …
I’m not good at marketing. I’d rather just make my comics. But I do try. I’ve gone to conventions, taken ads out in The Comics Journal, and submitted work to various publishers and anthologies. None of it has done me much good, which, over the years, has just encouraged me to spend even less time on it. Still, I want …
