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 β€” 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.

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.

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.

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...

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.

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!

I lucked out a bit on this one β€” 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.

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 β€” so I scrapped it and started over this morning!

Now onto the next one!

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.

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 β€” color management sure is a pain!
