I'm nothing special. I'm a' simple guy, raised by a musician with a biker background and another rebel of the more conservative variety. Life hasn't always been easy and in those hard times I immersed myself in the fantastic adventures present in cartoons and comics. Growing up with such artistic surroundings I witnessed the artist lifestyle first hand, been imbued with its cruel lessons, the lip service comradery, and the fickle and conditional love of the cheering masses. So I'm not doing this for personal gain or fame. I'm doing this for me. I do have dreams, don't get me wrong. I want to be able to do my thing and work on my craft while mingling with the people. I want to be the rock star of comics. A regular Stan Lee in a leather jacket. I want to be the sage to the up and coming like others have been to me. I don't ask much...

Hello everyone!
I'm just spitballing here because I haven't made a concrete decision yet, but I'm thinking of taking a short month or two hiatus from 'The Year of Reflection'. I have recently returned to school after not having actively attended since 2012(prior to my father's death) and the work load is really kicking my ass. On top of that my cat died which is taking taking a harder toll on me than expected, and the 9 to 5 is making a huge push to return to pre quarantine life which has come with it's own stresses. Ultimately something has to give for my own sanity to remain in tact. I'm not quitting art at all, in fact I have some pretty cool things in the works, but with everything going on I just can't commit to a page a week right now and I've felt like I've been phoning it in the past couple of months which is something I ABSOLUTELY don't want to do!
I appreciate your understanding and I will return cause there's still alot of story to tell here!

Sorry it's so late in the day, this has been a rough week. I wanted to start the new Chapter of TYOR this week, but sadly that just wasn't to be. But I don't want you walking away empty handed so I threw together this slightly NSFW pin up of the one n' only Scribbles!


This chapter was a big one! It really moved towards how the series will go from here on out, moving Jake from the primary person to being more of a background character. Believe me Jake is still gonna be around, but The Year of Reflection is Seeker's journey!


I'm sorry I don't have a complete page for you this week. I got spread very thin in a very short amount of time. In the last week I've had to knock out 3 Zine submissions, and I'm still in the process of getting a video put together for Street Cat Zine Fest this Saturday.
So I'll have the complete page for you next week, thank you for being patient with me!

The weekend got away from me, so I've only got half a page completed BUT here's a pin up of this chapter's love interest for Jake...Holly. That super cool, intellectual BBW strikes an old school Marilyn Monroe Playboy pose beckoning you to the hot tub! The water's fine!
