Inkbeard post #17 This Week This week I was able to work more of the thumbnails, transferring the first rough draft onto larger paper to get a better feel for the layout.

Monkey’s Uncle. Or ape’s, really. Inkbeard post #16 Shake Things Up. This week I didn’t draw anything new. Well, I did, but it was either thumbnails for the comic or doodles during Sunday morning ABF. Instead, I carved up a coconut. Yep, bet you didn’t expect that coming, did you? A few days ago I… Read more

Even the word “wizard” is… Read more

The Maple Tree As I stare out the window looking for inspiration about what to write, I see the silver maple in my front yard, and I think of how great things come to be. Great things are slow in coming, growing at a steady yet patient pace. It is not until far down the… Read more

Snow Nature’s whiteout. Inkbeard Post #009 A Fresh Beginning. This is the time of year, here in Minnesota, when we get our first snow. (At least, usually. Sometimes it takes a minute).

This week I was slow on the uptake in physically completing the new art for you, dear readers, and so I decided to show some images from my dark and twisted past.
