I thought it’d be fun to share this 3D model I made to help me keep my environments consistent. The garage I based Jonny and Jupiter’s garage on is about 3600 miles away from where I live now, and also it turned into a restaurant with a major remodel about five years ago, so I figured I’d make my own.

I modeled this building in SketchUp, which I liked better when it was a standalone app but still works pretty well in-browser. I’ve also done a basic interior to help with drawing that as well.

I’ve been making 3D models for various projects for a few years now, and I’ve found it to be a very useful tool!
Just a quick note to let everyone know what’s going on, almost two years after the last time I popped in to let everyone know what was going on.
I’ve been busy! I had a new graphic novel release this week, Maker Comics: Live Sustainably, written by Angela Boyle and drawn by me! You should be able to find it at most good bookstores.

The game I mentioned that I was working on in my last update post was Funko’s Back to the Future board game, which came out great.

I’ve also been working on a series of graphic novels based on the Clash of Clans games, and I’ll have more information about that when some announcements get made and promo art gets released.
In the meantime, I’ve been trying to squeeze in some work on Jonny Crossbones when I have the opportunity! (I have not had as much opportunity as I might like, but I’m doing a little better lately.)
Hi all, just putting up a quick note to let you know what’s going on. I was hoping to be updating again by now, but as you can see I’m not. I took a month longer than I anticipated on my last freelance gig (another TinkerActive book that I’m very proud of!) and while I was working on that I got offered another short-term job that I just couldn’t turn down. I’m drawing all the assets for a board game that I can’t talk too much about due to an NDA, but is very exciting and will be paying my rent for the next two years. It’s fun work and I just can’t turn down that kind of pay. As soon as that’s done, I’m starting work on another graphic novel for First Second, but I’ll be drawing Jonny at the same time as that one, so if all goes according to plan this story will be all finished by June!
I promised to let you know when this book was available for purchase, and I failed to do so! In any case, the first Jonny Crossbones adventure is available in print for the first time, in France, from Editions Akileos! You should be able to find it in your finer Bandes Dessinées shops, or at this link from Amazon.fr.
I’ve got a book out today!
Old Souls, written by Brian McDonald, drawn by me, and published by First Second Books, hits stores (in the US at least) today.
It’s a very different sort of comic from Jonny Crossbones! It’s a very adult and serious story about a man dealing with obsession and loss. But if that’s the sort of thing you think you might be interested in, please consider taking a look at it! I’m very proud of the work I did on it and I think the final product came out great.
