TOLKIEN

I started rereading the Fellowship of the Ring as kind of a book club with my kids. It has been 20+ years since I read it last & when I read it last it had been around five years probably. Anyhow, it has been great to read these pages again, p...

THOU SHALT FLYER

I did this for the Eugene based band Psyrup for a gig at the Wandering Goat probably in 2008. Anyhow, I’ve done a lot of show flyers & gig posters over the years & I love having my art being part of the street/life tapestry & it’s ...

BELIEF

I had the idea that all ideology, all belief is like a parasitic mind virus that exploits some kind of weakness in the host & then tries to replicate itself while ignoring the health of the host & prioritizing replication. I don’t know i...

NEW FREEBIE CARDS!

We just got the proofs for new Freebie Cards! These will be with future Die Wursts, the new Dungeon Crawl Adventure & the new mission book I'm working on!

DUNGEON DEGENERATES IS GETTING DISTRIBUTED!

Big news! We just signed a deal with Funagain Games* to distribute Dungeon Degenerates: Hand of Doom! The game has only had spotty distribution so far, & now it is going to be much ...

HALLOWEEN FLAGS

I designed a couple of new Halloween flags & if they get the thumbs up from Katie, they'll appear in our store. 

ADVERTISING

A little ad we’re running in Blood of Gods zine, the internet age has changed advertising a lot, especially people’s expectations around advertising, but human psychology hasn’t changed at all! People still need a story!

HALLOWEEN BOOK

There is a delay on the Halloween Book so fulfillment will start after Halloween, but we got the advance copies & they are gorgeous!

HALLOWEEN ZINE

I'm working on a Halloween zine, this zine is going to have a feature on Stiv Bators. A side note is that we signed a distribution deal with Microcosm Publishing for these & most of the other things we publish, so my zines will be getting out ...

I HAD TO DO IT

DON'T BE A DANG HALLOWEENIE!

I recolored this old comic I made in 2007 to give out to Trick or Treaters in Eugene. I was really involved with trying to make Eugene more interesting, this was as a teacher & a young parent & coming off of co-founding the civic arts proj...

MONSTER DRAWING CLUB!

I’m stoked to announce that the Monster Drawing Club returns!!! A whole new list with mostly new Monsters! The action starts in October on Instagram!

BREAKDOWN

This Disconnects cover was the sequel to the Nightmare Boyzzz cover of a typical PORK reader going nuts with drug abuse & seeing stuff on the streets! This was a rarity in Portland at the time but has turned into a common occurrence, including...

LOVECRAFTIAN

It was a weird breakthrough when I realized that I could draw whatever fantasy stuff I wanted - I create elaborate rule systems for myself, at the time I was working on the American Trash Culture project that would become PORK. But I also realized...

NEW STICKERS

These are new stickers that will be going out with orders but they haven’t been sent to our fulfillment company yet!

FANTASY

My fantasy world has always had a clear feeling to it. It’s a real place, it’s not something that feels like I made it up, it feels like I am discovering it slowly.

THIS IS HOW YOU MAKE A BATMAN

Do you want a Bat Man? (Man Scrag) This is how you get a Bat Man. As a lifelong Anarchist I’ve got a fully developed moral code with no use for laws or police to enforce them. Not the case for the yahoos around me! I have no question as to the s...

DUNGEON DEGENERATES

I’m lucky to have documented my drawing process so much! Also, I’ve got so much pre-stroke work that hasn’t seen the light of day! That said, I’m pretty sure how I want the next chapter of my artistic career to go, it’s a big change but ...

WHITE PEOPLE…

I got a 3 day ban on R/Portland for commenting “White People” on this photo. What I want to express is not the ban (which is whatever), but more about the concept of White People. There is definitely a dominant white culture & Portland has...

DECADENCE

In 2010 I had a ten year retrospective art show at the Voyeur Gallery in Eugene. It was a good show, full of a solid range of work & not even touching on my DUNGEON DEGENERATES or PORK work. Even if the drawing portion of my art career has gon...

TRIBULATIONS AT THE TUNNEL OF TERROR

I'm working with Erick Bouchard on his next stand-alone adventure for Dungeon Degenerates with extensive polish by Leigh Shepherd! Should be fun!

NEW PROJECTS!

I'm working on a bunch of stuff right now, the first personal zine I've worked on for over twenty years & the Würstreich for D&D 5E, there are a bunch of other things too, but these two are the ones that will probably come out sooner than...

DIE WÜRST

Die Würst is the first zine I’ve done since PORK ended. We released three at once! I’m prolific. If you get all three they come with the exclusive Jabberwock epic monster card.

UNIQUA

I was having a realization the other day that as an artist the point should be to be unique. I’m such a competitive person that I was aiming for “better” but in doing so I arrived at unique! It’s a rough path that you have to clear on your...

NEW POSTCARD

Seems like I design a new postcard every year or so, stickers more frequently. Anyhow, this is a postcard that Katie has been wanting for years, & here it is! This should be going out in orders in 3 weeks or so.

HELLSHIRE XII & XII

I started doing the Hellshire beer labels in 2010 for Oakshire brewing down in Eugene. We still lived in Eugene, the owner, Jeff was our neighbor, we both had jobs as teachers & we’d talk teaching, beer & whatever when we’d see each ot...

ANCIENT TECHNOLOGY

The style never really mattered to me, it was more the ideas… pictures are worth at least a thousand words, more if you’re trying to express complicated ideas like Vimanas & other ancient technology! I did this one in Eugene, probably arou...

REALM OF CHAOS

At some point I figured out that I could return to drawing whatever I wanted so I started drawing some fantasy stuff, in this case a Slaaneshi Chaos Space Marine on a Frenzied Mount! I get myself into a grind & then I forget about options! I t...

TRASH

Here’s the color version of the PORK 18 cover. I’d feel pigeon holed every six months or so doing PORK & would want to do an aesthetic reassessment, PORK 18 was very much a result of this. Also, if you remember this probably came out in 20...

HAPPY 4TH

Listening to the Clash’s Combat Rock & Sandinista outside waiting for our neighbors to light up the sky tonight. We had grilled hot dogs & that sort of thing & it’s nice. I know people are having a hard time with the country, but i...
