Making Stuff in 2026, Despite the Horrors On writing licensed comics & disappointing merch shopping in Japan

Just sent out my second newsletter! I talk about spring comic conventions for 2026, writing Avatar: The Last Airbender & my personal comic for this month is about my disappointing merch shopping experiences in Japan. You can subscribe or read it here: pencilbooth.com/posts/8fb0d0...

Hi Everyone, big news! I've started a newsletter! I really enjoy reading the author newsletters I receive. I love hearing what my favourite creators are up to, what they're reading, watching or playing. It's like a blog post (remember those?) delivered to my inbox.

My newsletter will go out once a month (maybe less depending on work). It will contain a personal comic, updates about the projects I'm currently working on and thoughts about what media I've enjoyed in the past month.

For years (decades, actually. I started posting my first webcomic online in 1999) I've enjoyed s haring my art and writing online with readers, but social media's algorithm has made sharing a lot less fun.

I hope having a newsletter will allow me to share with readers in a way I find enjoyable! You can find the link to sign up for my newsletter on my website, www.faitherinhicks.com

Okay, I've been working on next month's newsletter & here is a comic to remind you to sign up! Do so here! pencilbooth.com/faitherinhicks

I have done very little non-work drawing this year, but I did make a comic about my 2025. Despite everything, good things happened for me, but it's complicated.

Cosi Little Universe - Episode 12!

How will Cosi pick her first GigJig job when there's so many to choose from?! That may not be the biggest thing she needs to worry about.

Enjoy!

It's been a little while but let's get back to posting work animation! Next up is rough animation from season 1 of Tales of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.

First up, a slo-motion walk. My first scenes on the show, what a way to start! It took about a month to animate.

Enjoy!

This is my animator origin story! I saw it when I was 10-11ish and from that point on the only career choice for me was to be an animator.

Maple made herself at home pretty quickly! ❤️

Last bit of Animaniacs season 3 rough animation scenes! A section from "Island of Dr. Warnerau", lots of work but turned out really fun!

Enjoy!

More season 3 Animaniacs rough animation! The D.I.Y. song was fun but animating water Fx was challenging. Enjoy!

Cosi and Tang are on the hunt for new jobs at The Gig Jig! But it seems like not everyone is so friendly... or maybe they are?

Enjoy!

Time for my season 3 Animaniacs rough animation! First up some Nora, Flora, and Ralph. Squishy bits are fun to animate! Enjoy!

Had some true Mario Kart blue shell nonsense the other night! The Conkdor flying through the explosion, and me face planting on the finish line... just perfection.

Fun fact: this was the 8th 5 second day film I did so I hid a bunch of little 8 references in there. The only one no one got is at the end, she's not holding up her middle finger, she's actually holding up the number 8 if you're counting in binary on your hand.

My 5 Second Day film from 2023: Heist Number 8! I've been thinking about this character recently, there's a good chance you'll see her again in the future!

A whole song I rough animated for season 2 of Animaniacs! It was a lot of fun! Enjoy!

#Animaniacs #animation

More Animaniacs season 2 rough animation of mine! A fun Brain VS Julia fight scene plus Pinky in a mech suit chasing the two of them. Enjoy!

Thanks! Hope Matt is doing well!

Thanks! Yeah I try not to think about it...

Got my 10 year pin from Titmouse! Hard to believe it's been 10 years in Vancouver and working with Titmouse! Looking forward to more fun animated projects!
