UPDATE: If you preordered the Rachel Rising Omnibus (green hardcover)... it's been delayed one week at the printer. We are expecting it mid-October. We'll ship orders right away of course so that will be happening late October. Thank you for ordering it and making the new printing happen!

Currently updating my How To Draw book. The 2021 edition little Yoda is reading is sold out so I'm updating the book, adding new art and a new chapter. More info to come!

Tusen takk Oslo Comics Expo for a fabulous weekend. Everyone is so friendly and kind here the visit to your town has been a wonderful experience and the comic creators are fun! Heading home tomorrow at dawn and I highly recommend this show to all my pals.

The splatter paint technique you see edgy artists use today…. Munch did it first in 1907, in oils. Things like that are why you know his name a century later. Spent the day at his museum. Saw many artist techniques no one was doing before him. Brilliant man who painted a life of absolute hell.

in the morning I'm off to Norway for the week and the comic expo in Oslo. So I made next Sunday's video this afternoon and scheduled it to auto-drop next Sunday while I'm flying home. It's unusual: for male artists who don't really understand how the female form works.

I was wondering why the YouTube video of me inking the best art nouveau drawing I've ever made had very few views. Soon after release it was BLOCKED worldwide bc of the background classical guitar music I used. Realized that today, changed the music and reposted. youtu.be/QvcxOIdJDXw?...

If they're not going to make this movie I'm going to have to draw it so I can read it.

Here is the reading order for you. You can read them in any order you find them, but if you read them in the order I wrote them you'll find one book connects to the next in interesting ways.
