Paleo Pines!!!

Wow, as of writing this post, I’m a published author! How wild. Anyway–something else dino-related that came out around the same time as my book is this lil game called Paleo Pines. I’ve been… quietly stalking this game since I first heard of it years ago, but I didn’t realize it was here so soon!… …

Lost Time Retrospective

It’s still pretty wild to me that Lost Time is about to be its own book, releasing this year in October. The book itself I’ve been working on for about 2-3 years, but honestly the concept itself was born in 2017… making it almost 7 years old at this point (geez!!). This story has probably… …

Lapeo Region 2.0: The New Guys!

As I mentioned in my last post here, I recently redrew all my fossil fakemon dex and compiled them into a little zine (which is available here!). On top of adapting these mons to the new style, I added a few new mons in, too, to round out the dex some more for the zine!… …

Lapeo Region 2.0

I just always find myself returning to this little fakemon project every so often–it’s been a wonderful little side project. This time I went a little further, though–I redrew all the fakemon I had designed so far, added some new ones, and compiled them into a little zine (which is currently available for preorder!). The… …

Lapeo Region: Slightly Spooky Edition

And all of a sudden… another Fakemon region update! Because… why not? It’s been a wild busy couple months for me as I’ve been deep into several big comic projects. I finally shipped off the final files for Lost Time, my graphic novel, and although I have other projects to get to, I took a… …

Extinction: The Zine

Minor content warning: This post talks a little about grief, especially in regards to the recent pandemic. About two years ago I made a small comic/set of illustrations I eventually titled Extinction. Originally I posted it online, and eventually printed it into a small risograph zine. I didn’t really say much about it, my caption… …

The Sanity Circus: 8 Years Later

May 22, 2022, marks the eighth birthday of my webcomic, the Sanity Circus (or as I like to just call SanCirc). EIGHT whole years. I never imagined myself working on the same project for eight years, and I remember distinctly being baffled by manga creators, who inspired me in my teens, that would work on… …

Lapeo Fakemon Region: Part 2

Oops, well. I did say my next post wasn’t going to be about dinosaurs, but after my last fakemon post I got another resurgence of inspo, and ended up making a whole bunch more. Which means now I gotta talk about them. I also made dex entries for all the previous mons in the last… …

Lapeo Fakemon Region: Early Stages

Okay, well Pokemon has always been a part of me, and even as a kid I was scribbling fake Pokemon (“Fakemon”) till my heart’s content. This is something even now I return to every once and a while, because it’s just a fun little exercise–coming up with designs, studying the “style” of Pokemon to mimic… …
