LIKE OUR WORK? VISIT OUR NEW PATREON PAGE!

That's right. Just today, I signed up with Patreon. If, like me a week or two ago, you don't know what Patreon is, it's kind of like Kickstarter on a smaller scale. Instead of getting pledges to fund a big project like a book, movie, cd, etc., Patreon enables creators to solicit ongoing patronage as the artist releases a page of a comic, a chapter of a novel, a single song, etc. And, just like on Kickstarter, many creators reward different levels of giving with stuff. In my case, if your gift is a dollar - just one U.S. buck - I'll have a desktop wallpaper available for download featuring the main casts of ROADFROGS, G.I.JEFF: A REALLY AVERAGE HERO and PIG-FIST and BACON. Ten dollar and fifty dollar donations to my work will get you actual physical artwork. Please check it out, and tell your friends.

Thanks!

Delays, Delays, and More Delays

Okay, so I didn't make my September 1st deadline to begin publishing G.I.JEFF. No big surprise there. Originally, I had hope to start by the end of July. Oh, well! Unfortunately, getting all my ducks in a row before our family vacation, the vacation itself and the mild flu or bad cold (not sure which) that I came down with on Labor Day all conspired against my plan to go out and scan the pages I've inked and to start coloring and lettering. As they say, life is what happens while you're making other plans.

Just to prove that I have not been idle all this time, here's a photo of the cover and first two pages for G.I.JEFF as well as the cover and first page for PIG-FIST, all inked and ready to letter and color. I've also pencilled and inked four more pages of G.I.JEFF's first adventure, "Dead Men Don't Eat Quiche", and scripted its sequel, "Real Men Don't Wear Plaid" and the entire inagural story for PIG-FIST and BACON.

Anyhow, my new plan is to - sometime this week - scan the pages (unfortunately, as I've mentioned before, they are too large for my little scanner). I will start coloring and lettering by early next week; however, I have another trip scheduled for the weekend of the 21st. Therefore, it's doubtful that I will have anything posted before 9/28, but it's a pretty good bet that I will have at least the cover published by that date.

But please don't hold your breath.
