Video: Inktober Watercolor Painting (Day 15 – Cactus + Wig Mashup Cartoon)

More Inktober coloring! I was back at it this weekend: livestreaming myself painting an Inktober cartoon. I went live on Instagram Sunday evening, and then posted the video to the Clattertron Facebook page after I finished. You can watch my video below. (more…)

Video: Inktober Watercolor Painting (Day 7 – Cat + Sci-Fi Mashup Cartoon)

Painting time! As promised in yesterday’s post, here is a video of me painting Saturday’s Inktober cartoon. I decided to break the videos up in two to make them shorter. Like the first video, this one was live streamed on my personal Facebook page. I don’t know if I will continue live streaming video there or just go back to the Clattertron Facebook Page. Watch my video below! (more…)

Video: Inktober Inking (Day 7 – Cat + Sci-Fi Mashup Cartoon)

I know that hand. Feast your eyes upon another video of me inking another Inktober cartoon. This was Saturday’s cartoon (see the finished version on my Patreon, for free). I livedstreamed this video on my personal Facebook page (as a public post, mind you). I wanted to see how the reach compared to streaming on the Clattertron Facebook page. Watch my video below! It’s about 25 minutes. I have…

Review: Pentel Pocket Brush Pen

Review: Pentel Pocket Brush Pen

I always wanted to try a Pentel Pocket Brush Pen. Why? Aside from adding to my ever-growing pen collection, I like the look brush pens offer when it comes to inking. Note: this post first appeared on my other website, clattertron.com. Abe loves a good brush tip. Strokes from brush pens are the weird uncles¹ at the pen family reunion: average one moment, wobbly the next, and always random. (more…)

Video: Making Thank You Cards for Prints

My hands are pretty. PRETTY ROUGH. Watch below! [dc]I[/dc]‘m trying to up my video output these days. Video is the thing on social media, according to what I learned at a recent workshop. There’s no reason I shouldn’t do more video, especially since it’s a) something I have a college degree in and b) it’s what I do for my day job. So! Here’s a video I shot of making thank you cards to include…

Video: Inktober Day 1 Inking and Painting

Inktober: Let’s get inky. October is here, and with it comes one of the holiest months on the cartoonist calendar: Inktober. What is Inktober? Inktober is a month-long drawing challenge. You create 31 “ink” drawings in 31 days. It may sound easy, but trust me, it will test your limits. I’ve attempted it twice in the past, and only completed once. The official rules say to share the drawing on…

Video: Surface 4 Pen Unboxing

I bought a Surface 4 pen to use with my Surface Pro 3 tablet.

I’ve had my Surface Pro 3 tablet for over three years now and I decided it was time to get a new pen. I put a lot of miles on my Surface Pro 3’s pen over those years. Drawing weekly comics, a pair of coloring books, and other cartooning adds up.

Why Get a New Surface Pen?

The Surface Pro 3’s original pen was “good enough” for me when I…
