I have a book coming out and I've been trying to blog regularly for it but I also don't want to spam people so I'm wondering how am I doing so far?

Formspring is open: Ask me anything!

Hi guys, working through the last few pages of Polterguys at the moment so I've been kinda heads down on a lot of interaction lately. XD I really wish I could livestream stuff but

1) They're spoilery Polterguys pages!
2) My ancient Dell Inspiron, Windows XP set-up makes this impossible. XD I've tried livestreaming before with Photoshop on and it slows everything down to a crawl. In the future, when I upgrade my workstation I'd like to offer that as an option. (If anyone's interested, that is.)

So for now, Formspring is open and will continue to be. Got any questions for me? Polterguys-related, creativity-related, fandom-related? When am I doing more Princess stuff? Why is TCD so hard to work on? What am I working on next? etc.

Anything is cool as long as the questions are reasonable.

I love hearing from you! I think the best storytellers don't operate in a void. While lack of feedback isn't necessarily a reflection on the quality of the work (I read a ton of comics but don't feel the need to comment on all of them, especially when I don't have time.) It's nice to chat with readers and other artists in different spaces. I think you don't need an account to ask q's on Formspring (you can comment as anon.)

Hope to hear from you!

Hello! I wanted to ask you a professional question. When you start drawing what warm up exercises do you do? Your link to the lettering guide stuff has helped me tremendously and I wanted to thank you.

Utterly love your styles and especially your great taste in fandoms

Instant watch!

If you ever get a moment, I'd love your opinion on an adventure comic my friend and I are doing. You got a great artist's eye when it comes to timing and expression.
