And day 4!  I spent all weekend making wonderful choices so I am too tired to hold a pen currently, but through a big, unexpected surge of support, The Tuneful Tales of Milly Melodia shot past 1000 subscribers on Tapastic, which is honestly confusing and humbling in a way that I’m still having difficulty articulating.  

Interested in reading it?  Check it out at http://bit.ly/millycomic !  I’ll try and be more consistent about uploading the pages here as well, but I am only one human being and sometimes things get lost in the shuffle

I’m putting up a new page every Friday for now.  Sometime in the fall I’d like to start updating twice a week, but for now I’m still writing ahead and getting used to a production schedule I can be consistent with. Thanks for reading! I’m having a lot of fun with this project so far

Hey guys!  The 8 page preview of The Tuneful Tales of Milly Melodia chapter 1 is ready!  Check it out, and subscribe to the comic on Tapastic if that’s a thing you do.  There’s a Facebook page too!  Thanks for reading.

(SIDE NOTE: in the interest of making the best comic possible, I’m pushing the release date for the first chapter back a week to June 29.  SORRY!!! Stay tuned)

I have a new series beginning next month!  On June 22, I'll be launching the first chapter of "The Tuneful Tales of Milly Melodia".  The story follows the adventures of Milly, a peppy young travelling musician, and Axtaroth, the snarky apparition that calls Milly's guitar his home.  Together, they bicker and quarrel their way across distant lands as Milly tries to make a name for herself with her talents (or at least figure out where her next meal is coming from).

I'll be rolling out more information (including an 8 page preview of the first story!) on June 8, so keep a lookout!

Took a break from working on the comic last night & drew Saber

I'm still alive!

Come back on the 26th, I'll be spilling the beans about a 16 page comic coming out next month, beginning a new series~

[thejaystack]

There's this one too

History is fun.  Drawing things that pertain to history is fun too.  This is a 2 page spread I did recently about Wojtek, a bear raised by soldiers in the Polish army during World War II that eventually grew up to aid them on the battlefield, ferrying ammunition and supplies to the fighters.  This appears in the Spring issue of Atlanta-based eidé magazine.  You can find a physical copy in stores throughout the city, or read a digital version of the magazine online for *free* at
