Doing character commissions to get my cat to a catexpert-vet. Thank you for checking!

I’ve enjoyed Giant Days so much over the last few years, and so much of that had to do with your awesome art. It’s been such a ray of sunshine in my life — especially these last few issues. Thank you so much for all your incredible work bring the story to life as you have. It’s been a real gift.

Thank you kindly for your kind words and glad to have you on the ride with us!

Oh my god it's you WOAH, IT'S YOU?! You illustrate giant days?! I. LOVE. YOU. Lines and everything... Mad respect.

Aww shucks! Thank you!

A quick preview of the next Giant Days issue! Good times! lol

[maxsarin]

Oh no what script is ‘got a new script’ based on??

It was based on Issue 42 of Giant Days. :)

Did these two for a friend because she needed to fill up some photo frames. Also: Ghostly water things is always a win.

Reading scripts is always such a thrill ride!

More role-play stuff, even if from an old story.

I love my work. Still sometimes I really need a breather. Roleplaying is the best way to relax for me and to get over a “OH GOD I’ve been drawing this stupid panel for three hours and can’t get it right”-phase I decided to play around with this one scene from a recent game.

Hi also I was wondering what art programs you use? Like the software but also the hardware?

I work on imac and I use Clip Studio Paint (ex) with Cintiq13HD. : 3

Hi! I've picked up giant days at my local barnes and noble a couple times and it's on my "oh my God I want this so bad" list lmao but unfortunately they don't have the first volume rip But I saw that you're the artist for the series and wanted to look you up because HOLY SHIT I love your art?? I want to be a comic book artist myself and your style is like,,, my ultimate goals. But yeah I just wanted to say that I'm a fan (despite not reading the series yet haha)and keep doing what you're doing ♡

Hi! Glad to hear happy thoughts from an upcoming comic artist! Hope you get stuff out to the world and have a lovely week!

I was contemplating between two pouty Esther faces and somehow this happened.

Some Disney fan-ish art from 2015. Never was a big fan of Micky. Mickey? The Mouse. But really liked the guy with the black ghost costume.

The Giant Days YA adaptation is imminent

In one of the stranger events of my career, Giant Days has been adapted into a prose novel by British author Non Pratt, for US publishing monolith Abrams Books. Non, author of “Remix”, “Trouble” and “Unboxed”, is the safest pair of hands I could have placed my characters in. She has written a very funny book, all the while utilising “well organised notes” and “research”, two things that I have heard about but never really investigated. And her attention to detail on remaining canonical meant I had to answer a lot of difficult (but important) questions.

I whole-heartedly endorse this bizarre off-shoot of my tiny comics empire. I also endorse the cover featuring models dressed up as characters I invented. Bananas.

Excellent news!

Here are the three important lessons I received in Glyndwr University from my teachers Dan, Sue and Yadzia.  1. Don’t worry, just do it:  Finished work is better than perfect sketch. You can’t keep polishing an idea or a sketch forever: you need to let go of it an move on.  2. Give it your best: Give your work the best you can at the moment you have it in front of you. Don’t try to give it someone else best by wishing you were as good as them. Do not try to give it the best you hope you could give one day. Give the best you have in the present. You have the skills you need. Work with them. 

3. Stay true to yourself:  Do what YOU enjoy. Follow your dreams and passions to wherever they take you. When in doubt, close your eyes and listen to yourself. You have all the answers.
