Please Reblog! Running a Kickstarter campaign for my current comic, Neverender: http://bit.ly/neverender2 In the future, accelerants are powerful enough to not only lift any material off of a planet, but interstellar travel is reasonably viable. An authoritarian regime unites a spread out mankind through a mix of military control, nationalism, and entertainment.

Merrick, an earthborn punk finds himself in the middle of a complicated political game as he joins the Universal Defense League - an entertainment program about a one on one fight to the death, where astronauts must simply get one good shot in on their opponents suit to win.

The rules are simple:

Growing up the slums of an earthlike planet have given him exceptional reflexes, but can he compete in zero gravity?

From the creator of Dragon Slayer and Silence comes a 50+ page black and white comic about surviving space's grand expanse.

After several years of planning and execution, Neverender Issue One is available for pre-order from Kickstarter.

The year is 2̶͎͍̤̮͈͕̃̓͌̊̄͘X̶̢̻͔͎͍͈̽̏̃1̵̭̑̚9̸̧̙͇͕̣̅̆͌̂ͅ and due to breakthroughs in artificial accelerants, mankind has taken to the stars. At the edge of civilization, the dominant sport is a civilized sword duel to the death.

The rules are simple:

In the city of riots, Merrick, a disaffected terrestrial youth fights for his survival. If you enjoyed Dragon Slayer, Silence, or dig my art in general, you'll definitely enjoy this book. Neverender is 40+ pages of pure black and white action. The Kickstarter campaign will run for one month and ship shortly afterward. A mockup of the book as well as the rewards are below.

Here’s how the piece I live-streamed last week turned out! I pushed myself to try to draw something new, and I think the end result is playful and colorful. I’ve been having a blast designing and improvising on these feeds based on everyone’s feedback!

I have a timelapse of the entire piece I’ll post up tomorrow. If anyone is interested in a print version of this let me know! I just got some high quality paper in that this would look incredible on.

First post for 2018! Here's how this piece finished up. I wanted to experiment on drawing something in pencil on Procreate, then moving it over to Clip Studio on the PC and coloring that up to see how fills would play with 'porous' linework. Happy to say it worked pretty well.

I wanted to draw some cyberpunk elements while flexing some character design chops, and this was the result. Just kinda' fun to noodle!

Three hours to go, and $100 away from the first stretch goal. Get in now while the gettin is good! #kickstarter #kickstartercampaign #kickstagram #comic #illustration #art #crowdfunding #finalcountdown

Silence: Wall of Sound Edition has five days left until the Kickstarter campaign ends, and it could use your help! This book turned out fantastic, and I really hope it gets funded so I can share it with everyone. 170+ vibrantly colored digitally painted pages. It's taken three really hard fought years to get to this point and I can't wait to get this book into everyone's hands.

Hey everyone Happy Halloween! Just posting a quick status update about the campaign for both the third issue and finale to Silence! There's a little under 12 days to go, and the campaign is just a little under halfway funded. http://kck.st/2xCtMEA The campaign needs to meet it's goal to fund the print run, so if you enjoyed the first two issues, I need your help to finish this series out! This last issue completes the entire series, and is as long as the first and second issues combined. Everything builds to this! #kickstarter #comic #illustration #indiecomics

I really wanted to design a a new cover for the collected edition of Silence, I just didn't have the time if I wanted to launch the Kickstarter before November. Since the campaign has launched ( http://kck.st/2xCtMEA ) I've had a bit of time to work on something! I wanted to cook up something dynamic and colorful that really portrayed how much fun the book is. Please check the book out, and help fund it's creation!

Silence: Wall of Sound Edition is live on Kickstarter! Three years in the making, Silence is 170+ pages! Give it a gander: #kickstarter ow.ly/H9G530fRT68

Posting again for the night crowd! My friend Hansel just launched the Kickstarter for his anthology "Garden of Galahad". The book is absolutely incredible, and he assembled a crack team of artists and designers to illustrate his wonderful short stories. I penciled, inked and colored 14 pages for this book as well, and I'm really proud of how they came out. The book is 130 pages for a mere $20 (shipped) and he has tons of awesome rewards. Check the campaign out here, and help bring this amazing book to life! https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/115785522/galahad-and-the-far-off-horizon

  Here's a commission I just wrapped up earlier this week! I've loved the Stardust Crusaders arc of Jojo's since I played the Capcom game based on it years ago, so I was stoked when the client wanted a poster designed with Jojo and Star Platinum. I'm really happy with how this kind of matches up with Araki Hirohiko's style but is also it's own thing. I might color it up down the road if I find free time :)

My friend  Hansel and I are working together on an incredible short for his comic The Garden of Gallahad. Here's the design I did for one of the characters in the short. I'm five pages deep so far, and having a blast! I'll post more soon!

I've been working on this day and night for the last week and I'm proud to present an entirely rebuiltwww.cheshirecatart.com - The portfolio looks gorgeous, and I've integrated my Etsy shop, Instagram and Tumblr accounts within the site. I've added an events page so you can see which conventions I'll be at as well. Test out the store by using the coupon code "GRANDOPENING" to take 25% off any order!

Less than 48 hours left to go on the Silence: Track Two Kickstarter! It’s super close to hitting it’s first stretch goal, so please check it out and reblog!

Just five days left on the Kickstarter!!!! If you've put off backing, you are running out of time! http://bit.ly/silencetwo

I wanted to do a potential variant cover in case the Kickstarter goes really well, and worse case I have a really cool promotional image for later :) This image was inspired by Car Seat Headrest's track Killer Whales, and marks the first time I've drawn a whale! I'm really really proud of how the colors came out on this one. It's a new palette for me ^W^

I've been hanging onto these pages for seven months now, so I'm super excited to share them here on Facebook (and on the Kickstarter campaign: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/cheshirecatart/silence-track-two ) I'll be posting up preview pages of the comic over the next month. There's a twelve page preview of Silence: Track One on the Kickstarter page, so please check that out if you get a chance :)

The Kickstarter for Silence Track Two is live! I’m super proud of how this book turned out. Above is the video I designed and animated myself. I’ll repostthis later for sure, I just want to get something up tonight.
