It is spooky season! I hope you are all ready for some werewolves. But first, I got a bunch of new folks who signed up for my newsletter at Rose City. So for the newcomers, here’s a rundown (and reminder since Rose City was almost a month ago) of who I am and what I’m about. I’m a comic artist working on:

• Blue Moon is a werewolf romance gn I’m writing and Meredith McClarren is going to draw. I’m late on its script.
• The City Between is my webcomic about werewolves in the future. It updates Wednesdays. The current story is called Shards of Reflection. I’m scripting the next one which is called Glass Diamonds which will be starting soon.
• You are the Chosen One is a fantasy comic about 23 kids who got the same prophecy dream. It was posting on Fridays on my Patreon. But my editorial work has been piling up/overwhelming me lately. So it’s on hold until I finish up some other stuff.

My day job is an editor at the manga company Seven Seas and the indie comic publisher Iron Circus Comics. I like folklore, fantasy, and especially like werewolves. Welcome!

The big thing this month is the next story in The City Between will be starting. On my patreon, I post pages a month early. The last page of Shards of Reflection just got posted. Shards of Reflection was a bit of a storytelling experiment. I’m not 100% sure if I pulled if off. I’ll probably have more of a firm opinion of it once I’ve reviewed it for print sometime next year. 

I feel like I’ve been travel nonstop since San Diego Comic Con in July. So I’m happy to just stay home and work this month. Gonna watch some good halloween movies. Speaking of which:

For the new, I show a werewolf movie every full moon in my fan discord. I was trying to think of a good pick for October. A monster mashup seemed like a good pick. So join my Thursday October 17th at 4pm PST. You just have to join my discord.

I’ll be back on my streaming schedule this month. I usually stream with Alina Pete on Wednesdays, but we have to change the time because they have a conflict. 

• Tuesday 8pm-10pm PST – Art times
• Wednesday 5pm-7pm PST – Art times
• Thursday 6pm-8pm PST (during the Iron Circus Geekshow)
• Sunday 8pm-11pm PST – Playing Baldur’s Gate 3

Please stop by!

As I mentioned above, I’m working on Glass Diamonds (the next The City Between story). I usually try to get the whole script done before drawing. But I got stuck a few times. I’m mostly done though. I should be done by the end of the month. Most of my streams are gonna be doing concept art for it. 

While working last month, I got around to finally watching Scavengers Reign. I’d heard a lot of good things and it completely lived up to the hype. The animation is beautiful. The slow exploration of the planet is equal parts awe inspiring and terrifying in equal measure. It’s on Netflix now and I’d recommended it to any sci-fi fan. 

I’ve also been reading No Gods, No Monsters by Cadwell Turnbull. After I talked a little bit about werewolves to some folks at Worldcon, one of them recommended I pick this up. It’s about the world finding out about the supernatural after a victim of police brutality is revealed to be a werewolf. I’m really liking it because it’s a bunch of small stories that connect together to show a bigger pictures. On his website, Cadwell Turnbull says he was trying for something structurally like The Wire and that the community is the main character rather than an individual. There’s a sequel and I gonna jump into it as soon as I’m done with this first volume. 

One a lighter note, I read the manga Drip Drip. It’s by Paru Itagaki who made Beastars. It’s very weird and very silly. The main character is a germaphobe who gets a nose bleed when ever she touches something dirty She is trying to have a love life without gushing blood all over her date whenever they hold hands. While not to everyone’s taste, it is so over the top that I found it funny and charming. 

That is for this month. Thanks everyone for your support! And if you got a few extra bucks, consider backing my patreon.
