Houston we have a problem... #cats

Iris the witch is up late reading in bed when she hears strange sounds from somewhere else in her house. When she investigates, she discovers a little "mouse" raiding her cookie jar!

Care for a midnight snack? 🍪 #webcomics

Drip, drip, drip... the bathroom floor is soaking wet, the roommate claims no responsibility, and the truth is lurking nearby.

A spooky scary comic for Halloween! 🎃 #webcomics

This comic is particularly special to me because it spawned a story about this trade and led to the creation of a comic book series — Witchflowers! I wrote a graphic novel about these characters in 2022 and hope to begin drawing it soon. ❤️

The witch Iris Bloom proposes a trade with her raven guest at tea time, offering copper pennies and sea glass. But it turns out the bird has very different taste in treasures.

Another art-prompt-tober flashback! I made this one for Inktober 2021 Day 5, "Raven!" #webcomics

Black and white comic showing a young witch examining potion bottles while her aunt explains they’re harmless herbal remedies, not bat’s blood or zombie potions.

I really fell behind on this one! #inktober2025 Day 13, "Drink"

Aunt Iris teaches her niece about witch's ladders, mystical knotted rope charms that can be used for good or evil. But the real magic is in where you choose to hang them.

From #comictober 2022 Day 18, "Woods."

If you're not familiar with these two characters, this is the witch Iris Bloom and her niece Sunflower Daffodil. They are a the leads in a Sundae Comics spin-off I created called Witchflowers. They're going to get their own comic book one of these days...

Aunt Iris teaches her niece about witch's ladders, mystical knotted rope charms that can be used for good or evil. But the real magic is in where you choose to hang them.

From #comictober 2022 Day 18, "Woods."

Comic about a witch trying to buy proper witchcraft supplies at a regular store. When heavy-duty cast iron cauldrons aren't available, she has to settle for something less magical.

Blast from the past: Comictober 2023 day 2, "Cauldron!" #comictober

Two vacationing dragons deal with the consequences of excessive treasure collecting.

#inktober day 9 "heavy"

A single-panel comic featuring two dragons mid-meal. One dragon scolds the other for eating too quickly.

This makes 6 comics in 9 days! Not bad, but I've definitely fallen behind on art-prompt-tober!

This comic was actually inspired by 2 #inktober2025 prompts, "pierced" and "reckless." So make of that what you will.

On to the next one!

A comic about an ASMR radio host who plans to broadcast soothing sounds like eating cucumber sandwiches and stapling paper.

"peaceful" #artober day 5

I lucked out a bit on this one — just around the time that I was wrapping up work on my comic for day 4 of art-prompt-tober, my very funny wife started in on a riff about a late night asmr radio show. I thought it was hilarious, so I stole the whole thing.

A fortune teller consults her new crystal ball, but instead of mystical visions, she gets shoe ads and department store sales. Even the supernatural isn't safe from marketing.

#inktober day 4, "murky"

A single-panel comic featuring Medusa in a very unproductive therapy session.

"Monster Therapy" #comictober day 3

A comic retelling of the Three Fates from Greek mythology—until a playful cat tangles up the threads of human destiny.

Oh, jeez! It's only day 3 of art-prompt-tober and I've already fallen behind! The idea I originally chose for my day two prompt "weave" (from Inktober 2025's prompt list) just wasn't working — so I scrapped it and started over this morning!

Now onto the next one!

Henry starts his first day at the office with a warm welcome from the boss, but his new coworkers have already made up their minds about his future at the company.

Guess what today is? It's the first day of art-prompt-tober! This month I will be attempting to make a new comic each day of the month using one of the many art prompt lists that circulate this time of year!

Today's prompt, "mustache," comes from the OG art prompt list: Inktober.

Nice! That looks great! 🙌

Sounds like this might be spring loaded shortcuts? You can turn it off in preferences > tools.

Awesome! So glad to hear that you’re digging Tiny Dracula! Thank you for the great photo!

Hooray! Another book arrived safely! It’s so neat to see Tiny Dracula finally out in the world!

Thank you so much for the incredibly kind words, Ty!

i’m not an artist, i’m not an illustrator, but a stupider third thing: i’m a cartoonist

Reposting for visibility. Let's make those numbers go up. 🙏

Prints arrived! 👀

Lol

Oh hey! Look what just came in the mail! Can’t wait to check this out. Haven’t read a lot of Addam’s stuff.

[sips coffee]

Just brewed my fourth cup. Good luck sleeping tonight, amirite?

Anyways… Better get back to it. Still got lots to do on the Kickstarter, believe it or not. Just sent out for another proof this morning — color management sure is a pain!

Hello there! How have you been? Thought I’d stop in and see how things are going. Haven’t had much time for social media recently. Work, work, work. You know how it is.
