Save it for a Rainy Day
Back when I was working on Castle Whatsitsname, I knew I wanted sentient gargoyles for the castle’s security system. I never got far enough in the story to actually introduce them, but I’m saving them up and one day I will.
Griffin, Griffon, or Gryphon?
I first saw it spelled “griffin,” but if you learned about this mythical creature from Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland, you probably called it a “gryphon.” I’ve seen other spellings over the years, and I figured when griffins get drunk they go on rants about how even they don’t know how to spell their name properly […]
The Ruhnmother
My first attempt at a long-form comic, Castle Whatsitsname, included a “wise old wizard” character with funny eyebrows. When I began to revise the story, I realized we didn’t need another Gandalf/Obi-Wan/Dumbledore, but we sure could use more venerable old women. You know, the kind who’s everyone’s grandmother on the outside and tougher than an […]
Family Portrait
I’ve been working on a longform comic called Castle Whatsitsname in one form or another since about 2005. I enjoyed doing the concept art just as much as the comics themselves. This art would have appeared as a photo on the old gentleman’s mantel somewhere.
Those Darn Interns
I’ve been working on a longform comic called Castle Whatsitsname in one form or another since about 2005. The first installment ran as a webcomic from 2012-2013, but Life got in the way. Despite Life, this story still burns strong in my heart. One day I hope it touches you too. Note: Cheshire calls herself […]
Welcome to Elsewhere
I’ve been working on a longform comic called Castle Whatsitsname in one form or another since about 2005. The first installment ran as a webcomic from 2012-2013, but Life got in the way. I’m still in love with this page though. I mean, who doesn’t like floating islands and flying ships?
Tire Trades
I’ve been working on a longform comic called Castle Whatsitsname in one form or another since about 2005. For 24-Hour Comics Day, I wrote and drew a standalone story featuring the CW characters. Ferkus (in the Hawaiian shirt) tricks his friends into a fool’s errand. The Cheshire Wolf (right) isn’t impressed.
Pirate Fondue
I’ve been working on a longform comic called Castle Whatsitsname in one form or another since about 2005. The first installment ran as a webcomic from 2012-2013, but Life got in the way. The story still lives in my heart. When designing this page, I asked friends “what would you do if you were a […]
The Birth of a God
It only takes a single person to create a god. It only takes a handful to believe. Be careful where you start out.
Castle Entrance Hall
I’ve been working on a longform comic called Castle Whatsitsname in one form or another since about 2005. The first installment ran as a webcomic from 2012-2013, but Life got in the way. After finishing this concept art piece, I realized my spiral designs looked very Tim Burton-esque, but hey, it’s not like he invented […]
