In the spirit of done being better than perfect, it was about time I started releasing pages of the latest chapter, so here we are with the first one. I’m not done finishing the pages in this chapter, so the first half might turn out more regularly than the second, but that’s just the way it’s gonna have to be… I don’t even know why I keep working on this anymore – this comic is so irregularly updated, it’s hard to find the motivation to keep going. But, I still wanna get to the end, to finish this story, even if might take another 10 years… after all, it’s already been almost 10 years since I started. There is still a lot I want to learn and say with it at the same time. If you’ve been with me so far, then hopefully this will meet expectations. If not, start from the beginning, it’s a quick read. Enjoy!

PLUSH GARDEN: My Daughters have all the good ideas.

Since I started working on this idea with my oldest daughter Maeve last year, I hadn’t thought of actually putting her and her sister, my youngest daughter Nia in the story, but why the heck not, ya know? This idea is coming together really nicely now that I’ve included a human element in it, and what better source material than my own kids? It was right there in front of me, and I couldn’t see it for the longest time. Anyway, I changed their names for the story for now so my actual kids won’t get upset later if/when this actually gets done in some sort of media and they don’t actually like their cartoon versions (besides, these are names my wife and I seriously considered for our girls, so I’ve always wanted to use them too.) So, I think I really wanna pitch this as a cartoon show now… there’s a lot more to it that I won’t reveal just yet, but wish me luck! 😉

More characters inspired by conversations with my 6 year old daughter and her fantasy stories. The roster is getting big, and I think there may be another show idea coming out of this too. Pretty fun!

One day late, but it’s something I’m sure the characters of my comic would be doing around this time. And after doing this, I kinda get spin offs now. Imagining what side characters would be doing in their “off hours” outside the plot of the story of the main characters.

Quick wind down sketch for a Friday night. It’s based on something I did on paper that really went off the rails, but I still liked the color and texture, so I just went ahead and painted over it with some faux pencil and oil Clip Studio Paint brushes. Gonna be drawing teens with boxer gloves till the end of time.
