comic cover for Young Shadow: Tunnel Vision. The illustration depicts a masked kid and his dog, floating down a mysterious stone tunnel. Some sinister looking eyes are in the darkness behind them.
Young Shadow: Tunnel Vision
a new 19 page short story out this October for @shortboxcomicsfair.bsky.social
I think this is a first for me: designing a new character from scratch as a digital sculpture. Usually I draw or sometimes conventionally sculpt first. I’m working in Nomad Sculpt, and this video is at 2X speed.

Second fun fact about book three: My favourite podcast is @hollywoodhandbook.bsky.social; a silly, hard-to-get-into comedy show that is nearly impossible to describe.
I included this cover/note as an bonus for any fan of the show who may notice.
Fun fact about book 4:
It's the culmination of what I've been working towards, multiple storylines I can float between as writer/artist.
It was previously printed as 3 minicomics, and these won the Bedelys award at MCAF for best indy English Comic, and 4.3 won best scifi from the minicomics awards!
Fun fact about book 3:
There's a mural that features in the main story line, seen in screenshot below. It's inspired by a real mural my brother and I painted in our hometown back in 2007.
the mural is made up of hundreds of portraits, each commissioned by a local resident.
Fun fact about book 2:
I stole the layout for page 45 from one of my brother's very first comics, drawn nearly 20 years ago!
Also, the name of Orlando's ship, the Phantom Artist, came from putting my name into the Wutang Clan name generator, like Childish Gambino.

Cover of HΩME volume one, a young man daydreams holding a golf ball; a robot on horseback approaches from behind
Cover of HΩME volume 2, a magpie flies in front of a decrepit tower with someone calling for help
Cover of HΩME volume 3, someone floats upside down in space, in front of a yellow and pink graffiti.

Fun fact about HΩME vol.1: Patrick finds a golf course hidden in the captain's quarters, a private bio-dome atop ARC29. When I drew this I hated golf, it just seemed like a leisure sport that could fit inside the world I'd created. While researching it to better draw it, I fell in love.
