Here is a progression of sketches of Gogol as I study his face and head toward the caricature I am aiming for. I am closer, but still not quite there yet. Still, I like these. The main challenge was his hair. Gogol was quite the dandy, and had really gorgeous hair that he seems to … Read More “Sketchbook: Gogol” »
The other day I read a blog post about a Tumblr-based controversy involving comics by a friend of mine (whose name I’ll leave anonymous to protect them from further abuse.) I am on Tumblr frequently, but I follow friends, comics, artists, some politics, various geekery, so I somehow missed this debate over my friend’s work. … Read More “Sketchbook: Tumblr Corgi” »
I read The Master and Margarita by Mikhail Bulgakov for the first time a few years ago. It reignited my love of classic Russian writers, drove me back to Gogol, and eventually influenced the direction I am taking in comics now. This summer I have picked up the novel again, using this time the elegant … Read More “Sketchbook: Behemoth” »

This week’s strip ran late. Sorry. This time the problem wasn’t a lack of time to do a strip, but how much time it took to draw this one. Lots of action and poses and details. As for the theme, or “message”: Well… the Trump candidacy is the closest thing to a fascist movement I have … Read More “Fetch: Fascists” »
This cartoon was originally a digital doodle I did in 2013 in response to bathroom discrimination legislation proposed in Arizona. Eventually I redrew it for publication in Trans Bodies, Trans Selves. I have now made it more applicable nationwide in response to anti-LGBTQ legislation passed in North Carolina. I am a cisgendered straight white dude, … Read More “Trans Bathroom Rights” »

Gaffes are an inevitable part of the long campaign season for the presidency, a problem made worse when they became more expensive, requiring an extra year just to raise money. Throw in more debates, and candidates, brain weary and tongue tied, will find it hard to avoid the regrettable “inartful comment.” The last few weeks … Read More “Fetch: Gaffes” »
