Some previews from my comic, The Care and Upkeep of Shadows, in the Restless Minds: Nightmares anthology
There are 8 feet and 24 hands in 3 pages of comic because I made some terrible decisions early on and, in characteristic fashion, refused to capitulate. I nearly died so many times.

ABOUT: Restless Minds is an ongoing comic anthology focusing on artists and different themes. The first volume, Restless Minds, focused on anxiety and debuted in 2014. This was followed by last year’s Restless Minds: Imagination which was successfully funded on Kickstarter! The books are self-published though my own imprint: Uppermind Ink!
GOAL: The goal is to fund the book through Kickstarter, pay artists, and debut the book at SPX 2017! The series keeps growing and I really want to open this volume up for more interpretation of the theme. My goal is always to make the raddest book possible and to keep growing the series!
For submissions included in the book: I’ll be compensating each artist copies of the book and once the book is near completion, I’ll launch the Kickstarter to pay every artist (this worked out really well for Restless Minds: Imagination)!
You can check out the first two books by going here:
- Restless Minds (Volume 1): (Digital) (Physical)
- Restless Minds: Imagination (Volume 2): (Digital) (Physical)
Send Submissions to: [email protected] or if you have questions, shoot me a DM!
Please Share and Reblog!
Thanks again! Can’t wait to hear from you all!
