Hey all! Thanks for all of the interest in my being at The New York Comicon. Unfortunately, I have to cancel out of that show.
Free time is a commodity that’s rare to find around these parts and every possible moment I have is spent on clearing the mountain of backlogged work and commission and soon to be added homework in the upcoming weeks.
Apologies to all of you who’ve inquired about my con rates and availability for NYCC but I can’t in clear conscience pick up more sketches when I’ve got so many people waiting months for theirs! (Sorry for the wait guys!)

Anyhow, here’s a new commission. The Bride! Hooray! I love weddings.. *sniff, sniff* Wait. WTF?! No I don’t! Weddings- UGH!
