Huge thanks to Steve Orlando for wanting me on this project, and to Mostafa Moussa for his inks that pulled the whole thing together.

Here’s me ‘n Mos at Dragon Con last year, when he delivered the finished inks. Feel free to identify my excellent cosplay.

Here’s the lucky Effin’ Birds fan (whose name I do not remember and I feel really bad about it) who snagged the original just hours hours after I saw it for the first time.

And here’s a photo from last summer at Freddy Beach Fan Fest in New Brunswick, Canada, where, if you look closely, you can see me figuring out the dog.

TECH NERD SHIT: Someone is gonna ask, so that’s a ReMarkable 2 with a Staedtler Mars Lumograph Digital stylus. This was my go-to combo for both writing and drawing until recently when I upgraded to a ReMarkable Paper Pro. It’s an upgrade in almost every way: colour, storage, speed, battery life. I’m a little bummed that the Paper Pro uses a proprietary stylus, though, because one of the joys of the 2 was this wide world of input devices that have different feels in the hand and different tactile feedback (harder and softer tips, different barrels, etc). The combo of the Staedtler barrel, a hard Mitsubishi / WACOM tip (stolen from the Mitsubishi Hi-Uni Digital stylus, my second-favourite, just a little too short for my big hands), and the pebbled glass of the ReMarkable 2 convinced my body that I was working with a pencil on paper and made me instantly comfortable.

I’m not even joking. Scully the parrot is turning 30, so on March 13th we’re taking over The Raven Gallery in Toronto to celebrate. RSVP and more details: https://eatf.art/30

First drink is on Scully, but the bar is what’s paying for the event, so please feel free to have more than one. BYOB (bring your own bird).

Please note that I will not be selling merch or signing at this event. You can check my appearance page for details on where I’ll be doing that next. Toronto Comicon starts the day after Scully’s birthday, and I’ll be there all three days at table P112.
