Shaving T-shirts
I’ve been updating my Instagram more often than this blog…apologies for that. Over there and on Facebook I took preorders for this tee-shirt version of one of my most popular prints.
I still have a few left over, for tanks and tees. Anyone who would like one click on the link below. Please note that international shipping would be an extra $10 on top of the existing cost — expensive I know, but those are the realities of international freight these days.
Quantities are limited, so if you would like one I would advise contacting me sooner rather than later.

Shirtlifter now (partially) on Comixology
Just a quick note to say that SHIRTLIFTER 1 and 2 are now available through Comixology. Hopefully the other issues (3 – 5) will also be released through there, since I know that it is a big site for a lot of digital comics readers.
The entire series is also available through ITunes, as it has been for a while.

SHIRTLIFTER #5 KICKSTARTER
After a four year wait, SHIRTLIFER #5, containing the conclusion of “Unpacking”, is only a few revisions away from being done. We are close. Very close. “Getting ready for printing” close. In order to help me get it into the world after four years, I have set up a Kickstarter page to help fund #5. If you have been waiting for a while to find out how the story I started in #3 ends, this is your chance. Ian Parks put together a great video talking about my process and the new issue – you take a look and, if you can, help spread the word.
The campaign went live at the beginning of the month, and I have managed to exceed the goal. The extra funds I have raised so far will allow me to upgrade the paper stock to the heavier paper I used for #4.
Kickstarter donors will be shipped their copies early, as soon I receive them back from the printer (mid-May). The book will be available through retail and amazon at the end of June.
It’s going to be 100 pages, full color, 88 pages from me and additional comics from Jon Macy and Eric Kostiuk Williams.
Thanks for your patience and understanding. Almost there!

SHIRTLIFTER #5 (Non) Previews
I post images from the forthcoming new issue intermittantly on both my Flickr stream and my Facebook page- the latter more often than the former (I’m too much of a luddite to have figured out an “one-upload-to-feed-them-all” to the various internet presences one must maintain in the Year-of-Our-Tech-Lord 2014). Most of them are non-spoiler-y, to the extent of generally not even previewing words. I’m on track for a May, 2014 release, so for those impatient souls who have been asking “when” and my only answer has been “eventually”, that answer has been updated to “reasonably soon”. Look at the above and the below if you want a preview of what I’m up to, and follow me on both or either platform to get more frequent glimpses – generally posting something about once a week.
