The cover of the comic book Scattered Futures. It shows two astronauts floating above a planet, their hands nearly touching, illustrated in a crunchy, neon-sci-fi style by Carly A-F.

Scattered Futures is at 97 followers! Can we get to 100 this weekend?

“An independent farmer ///|||___||\\\ break free of the ////:// that have trapped him.”

Here’s a preview of my art for the short story “CYCLES” from the upcoming comic SCATTERED FUTURES. Which will be launching on Kickstarter soon.

An illustration of two astronauts floating above a planet. Their tethers drift off to either side of the piece, and their hands are very nearly touching in the center. The planet's surface is a swirl of clouds, water, and land. The atmosphere glows in a radiant blue, and more planets and stars fill the black of space above the planet.

The same illustration as the previous picture of two astronauts floating above a planet, now with trade dress for the SCATTERED FUTURES comic book.

Check out this absolutely stunning illustration @carlydraws.bsky.social did for the cover of Scattered Futures!

It's my birthday!

If you're not already, maybe you want to give my Kickstarter a follow? Working on this book of quiet hope has helped keep me going through the last year. It's a gentle assertion of simple human kindness in the face of an uncaring world.

Meredith waiting for you're date at your door. She wears a red jacket with brown pants, white top and leather gloves & boots. She bring you a rose. A speech bubble says "C'mon loser, were going on a date!!"

Same illustration as before but without the speech bubble.

(She drank 4 beers and threw up on your shoes.)

Happy Valentine's day 🥰

Sometimes you just need to take a leap of faith.
