I’m super duper excited about attending Stan Lee’s Comikaze Convention next weekend! I’ll be in the Comic Bug Pavillion at table E-35, close to the Ladybugs and The Sketchy Bugs! Check out all the wicked cool comics we all make!!

Indie Comics Day
I did a video interview about Clucked and Heavenly Kibble Guardian Corgi at The Comic Bug’s inaugural Buy Indie Comics Day. Thank you so much for the interview, NerdSoul!
It’s really odd seeing myself onscreen– even moreso than hearing my own voice when I do podcast interviews. “Buy Indie Comics Day is an international, annual event to celebrate the indie, local, and small press creators pushing comics into the next millennium!”
It was an amazing event– I got to catch up with a lot of my SoCal indie comics maker buddies, and meet new ones as well.
Special thanks to Russell Nohelty of Wannabe Press for organizing the event, and thanks to Mike Wellman of The Comic Bug for hosting it!
Rose City Comic Con
I will see YOU at Rose City Comic Con in just a few weeks! Come by table P-14– Clucked #1 will FINALLY be available in print form, and the first 100 copies will be numbered and signed by both Joel and I!
Joel and I signing all the copies!
New Comics Work: Clarence and Lumberjanes
Super excited– two new BOOM! titles I worked on are out this month:
- Lumberjanes “Makin’ the Ghost of It.” I did the colors on the second story, “Sphinxes, and Riddles, and Wishes, Oh My!” It comes out May 18 (my birthday, HOORAY!)
- Clarence: Chicken Phantom original graphic novel. I did colors for the entire book! It came out on May 11.
If you end up getting them from your local comic stores, please let me know what you think!
Free Comic Book Day 2016
in Comics
Free comic book day with The Comic Bug was a rousing success again this year! I tabled with the amazing Tanja Bjork, creator of Havenhurst. For the first time ever I had a line for sketches in front of my table. I did about 25 or so… whew, my drawing hand was about to fall off! Thanks so much for all the support! <3
Animated Chickens!
Animated Chickens!
For this week’s page of Clucked, I made a super cool animated gif of the entire process. If you’re one of my $2+ Patrons on Patreon, you get access to a cool behind-the-scenes blog that explains How I Did the Things, and if you’re a $5+ Patron, you can download the PSD and poke around in the file!
See the finished page live on the Clucked website!
WonderCon 2016
I’ll be at WonderCon this weekend at the Los Angeles Convention Center! I’m very excited to debut a new poster for Clucked, and in addition to Corgi 1 and 2, I’ll have two ashcans: Guilty Horse and the 2016 Ladybugs Slambook. Come say hi at table F-12!
Ladybugs Anthology #1
I’m really excited to finally announce the first anthology I’ve ever been a part of, presented by The Comic Bug! This anthology features work created by the members of the Los Angeles Women’s Comic Creators League.
The Ladybugs Anthology – Coming SOON!
The Los Angeles Women’s Comic Creators League (aka The Lady Bugs) is an open group of women comic book enthusiasts and creators. Their primary mission is to create a safe space for women to share projects, make friends, and most importantly, HAVE FUN! Stay up-to-date on the Lady Bugs on Facebook!
I am a proud member of the group, and am really excited to have a 7 page story named Test Day in the anthology! The book will be a 138 page trade paperback– black and white with color covers. It’ll feature art, stories, and illustrations by over 17 lady creators with themes ranging from sci-fi to slice of life.
The anthology will be going on sale in about a month’s time (sometime between late March and mid April), but I am currently accepting pre-orders for it! The cost will be $15.00 USD, plus shipping if you need me to mail it to you.
If you’d like to pre-purchase a copy, click here to place your order using my Paypal.me account! It’s pre-loaded to be $20 ($15 + Shipping) but if you see me in person regularly you can change the amount to $15 to skip the shipping costs. Be sure to put in the Notes that it’s for the Ladybugs Anthology.
I am only accepting pre-orders until Thursday, February 25, so act fast!! I will have some copies I’m ordering to sell, but there’s no guarantee I’ll have enough if you wait!
My Very First Comic
This is my very first comic I ever made at the tender age of 12. And yes, that’s a plushie of the main character that my mother and I made together. Despite it being part of a school assignment, I like to think my 12 year old self was forward-thinking with merchandising opportunities!
My First Comic
I took this photo because my Patrons have unlocked the “Old Embarrassing Comics” Creator Goal, which means I unearthed, scanned, and uploaded 18 year old comics to share. I had a lot of fun revisiting my old (and awful) storytelling and art skills, reviewing why I made certain choices I did, and sharing a lot of fun personal backstory in the post. Literally ANY Patron level can get these, so I couldn’t help but share this! If you want some great giggle material, this might something you’re interested in!
