Hi all. I’ve been recalibrating since the last story arc - catching up on post-travel work, sending out the book (CURRENT STATUS: PRINTING), finishing up some freelance, and writing the next story. This is an illustration I’ve been working on for an upcoming event. More about that soon!
Hey! Did you catch the Octopus Pie story I posted back in April? Well, now there’s a full-color version available in print! With interior colors by Valerie Halla. I’m doing a small run of these, and they will all be signed. Snag yours here.
Hey all, if you’d like to reread Octopus Pie as a daily comic strip with commentary - or you never got through the whole thing while it was updating - you can start today! I won’t be x-posting to Tumblr this time around - it’s just too time-consuming in addition to my other work - so be sure to bookmark http://www.octopuspie.com to enjoy a new strip every day!
Hi Tumblr people, it’s been quiet for a bit!! But I have been working on something that you may want to hear about: my first ever game, Perfect Tides!! It’s a point and click adventure about being a teen. Written, directed and animated by me, with environments by Soren Hughes.
I’ve just begun fundraising on the game. If you’d like to preview the trailer and initial art, and maybe be a part of making this project a reality, click the link and have a look!
There’s less than 48 hours to get in on backing Perfect Tides! We’re now very close to a 40k stretch goal, where the minicomic for backers will be in full color. Check out the trailer if you haven’t, and considering pledging to my next big project!
Hey, I've been a fan of Octopus Pie for years and as soon as I saw the game announcement I wanted to back it instantly, but sadly Kickstarter doesn't take paypal. ;n; Is there another way for me to contribute to the game?
I appreciate the sentiment! Something you could do is contribute to my ongoing Patreon campaign. Since I’m reserving the KS bucks for freelancer payouts, Patreon is the part that actually pays me to work on the game. Anything at all is a big help!
I’m back from my USA book tour, and finally have a window of time to sell some Octopus Pie books directly! If you’ve been waiting to get a signed copy of Volume 5, this is your chance. The other books are also available individually or in a 5-pack. Each copy bought from me is signed - optionally, you can add a sketch as well! This sale will end on Sunday night, August 6th, so hop over there now!
If getting a book isn’t enough, there’s a cause as well! Proceeds from the first 50 books sold will be donated to Black & Pink, an organization working with and advocating for LGBTQ inmates. Even if you’re not getting a book, check them out and support the vital work they do.
A note on buying books: if you get a 5-pack, there’s a good chance you’ll need to wait a few weeks while I order stock. I appreciate your patience. If you need a book by a deadline, let me know and I’ll do my very best to accommodate. :)
If you’re at San Diego Comic Con, come see me today between 2-4pm at the TopatoCo booth, #1229! I’ll be selling books and signing anything you’d like to bring. Mike Holmes will be there as well with books and prints! Hope to see you there!
