This very special playset that I just finished making was truly a labor of love. My wife (who works on SpongeBob) commissioned me to make a piece of art for her crew White Elephant gift exchange. My only regret is that I didn't give myself nearly enough time to finish it properly. But it turned out pretty well, don't you think?

This "Froggy Motorist" is the first wood toy I've made for a group art show. It's for a show called Toy Art Starter Kit at Kouhigh Toys on Melrose. The last picture has one of my tiny toys for size comparison. This froggy is bigger, see? It'll be much harder to lose in your couch cushions or where-ever it is you choose to lose my tiny toys :->

"This is the end of everything"  / digital zine / July 2024

Here's a preview of my newest comic zine. Took me awhile to sit myself down and finish it, but I'm glad I finally did. The cover was made with a scan of paper cut-outs in case you were wondering. But even if you weren't wondering, that's just how it was made, okay?

This zine was supposed to be called Dreamy Dream Place, but I decided not to include a title page (referring to it simply as "untitled face zine" when asked). It was made on a super tight deadline for what felt like a good reason at the time, but it almost completely broke my brain in doing so. The cover is a paper cut out face glued to cardstock, and because of this, I did not print many initially. This is a scan of the original untitled version, but I've since reprinted it with the actual title for goodness sake.

"The sky is not blue in my heart" was a remark that I said in jest to my wife outside of my garage in June of 2023. But as soon as I said it, I rushed to my worktable to scribble in down on a scrap of paper, because I knew it would make a good title for some kind of zine. Was I correct? You tell me.
