WOW... I received a post card from one of my absolute favorite cartoonists of all time today. Chris Ware!! He wrote in regards to my new book. I’m blown away. https://www.instagram.com/p/COldruxMLQx/?igshid=1gzq00zstk6t0

My daughter is only a few months short of 2 years old, but she’s already a big fan of art. And naturally, I’m a big fan of her. https://www.instagram.com/p/COQe0EZsdIT/?igshid=sioe5z5r5hww

It’s official... 40 plus years old and a true east Kentuckian, and we’ve yet to have us some chickens. UNTIL NOW!! Lol. We did this mostly for our daughter. Three Americanas and three Rhode Island Reds. Building the coup (which was pre manufactured) was the hardest part. But I’m really excited, and Kiernan is too. https://www.instagram.com/p/CNiqhgss28M/?igshid=xvf6pit9ogj3

The first review my book has and it’s from actor and friend Boyd Holbrook. Even if this is the only review this book gets, then I’ll still be happy! https://www.instagram.com/p/CM7MO4xMxMK/?igshid=86kd8o42uqmr

The process I follow to complete the pencils for the graphic novel included many drafts. I sketch a simple layout, then use a homemade light-box to polish the art. I’ll go through this process at least two to three times. The graphic novel I’m penciling and inking is author Dwight Schueler’s “Prison School”. https://www.instagram.com/p/CMAkOolM-VL/?igshid=1u6l7tjhlrji1

The nation of the Bigfoot has lined up for formation on my art table. The molds for my Patreon reward are coming along great. The Patreon page isn’t up yet, but very soon! https://www.instagram.com/p/CKhbQoOsJ4t/?igshid=1ff38k7ck9tip

Just a sketch today. This is what happens when you draw a cartoon without writing the dialogue or caption before hand. It ends up making no sense. https://www.instagram.com/p/CJmkj0YsEjs/?igshid=1o9dgydacgvft

Today has been the best day ever. My wife planned us a Christmas celebration. We have watched Christmas movies, made gingerbread cookies, decorated our tree, wore silly hats, and ate a bunch of really fun sweets. I’m so thankful for days like today. https://www.instagram.com/p/CIJiF6tM8Ws/?igshid=d93xmi0gtsxf
