If you wanted chocolate, today is the day to get it.

Celebrate International Chocolate Day with a sweet treat and a sweet book! CRUMBLE is a cute middle grade fantasy book about magical baking and big feelings. Written by me, drawn by @andyharvest, and published by Little Brown Young Readers.

Description:

A dark illustration against black of the Mouth of Truth, a stone disc carving found in Rome. It’s a bit of a tourism interest, as local legend contends that sticking your hand in the mouth will reveal how truthful you are. If you are an honest individual, your hand will be fine. If you are a liar, you can kiss your hand goodbye.

In the illustration, instead of a hand going into the mouth, a red hand is coming out of the mouth.

Text above reads: ‘Romics’ and text below reads: 'October 2-5’

Frankenstein Day is August 30th, so I thought I’d do a doodle.

In which Ashley’s state of unliving remains the butt of the joke.

Ashley (and the hellbeast named Motley) belong to my teen supernatural horror book MEAT EATERS. A book you can definitely find at most local comic stores. ◉‿◉

…

Description:

An illustration of Ashley from my teen horror comic MEAT EATERS. Ashley stands in front of a fish eyed lens bathroom sink and mirror. Annoyed and scrubbing ‘stitching’ that has been drawn around her forehead and arms, in sharpie, but her 'friend’ Motley.

On top of the picture is a collection of three polaroid pictures. Two at the top show Ashley sleeping. The third at the bottom is a close up of Motley smiling. Complete with an uncapped Sharpie at the bottom.

Ashley is quietly cursing: 'fukkin motley…’

I have complaints.

Description:

A three picture comic of myself.

In the first picture I am tipping my head back and inhaling violently. But of my hands raised up to my face. Text above reads: ’Inhale’

The second picture is nearly identical to the second. Except I am speaking to say: ‘I hate–’

In the third picture I have thrown my body and hands forward with a severely aggrieved face. Declaring: 'EVERYTHING about this.’
