Hey everyone! Just a quick update that I have finally received the LONG AWAITED Skitzo The Bear Plush Toys! and they are now available on my web store!! 

They even got the glowing RED eyes perfectly! GASP**

There's also a few Skitzo "Back Stabber" T-shirts left over from the Kickstarter that I added to the store. They are printed with Skitzo on the front and his knife in your back! They were limited to only backers but the shirt company had a better price if I ordered a mimimum. They are not going to be reprinted, so get one now if you missed out during the Kickstarter and still wanted one!!

Lastly, a few people have asked me if I'd ever reprint "Skitzo Bakes a Cake" the out-of-print comic from 2014...Well the answer is still no sadly they cost a lot to print since it was a FULL COLOR comic book! BUT GOOD NEWS, I did release the comic for sale as a digital comic book to my web store in case you really wanted to own/read what is probably the most twisted thing I've ever published in book form. PARENTAL ADVISORY! This comic contains high levels of blood, violence, torture, hell landscapes, and other ideologically sensitive material so...if you buy this, be warned! But then again what else did you expect from SKITZO of all characters heh, a rated G adventure??

In the meantime, I'm working hard on a new Skitzo the bear cartoon which i should have done by April, and the poll from last week tells me you guys want more Fibble and Sin too :D so I'm working on their pencil comic firstly, followed by the rest. Stay tooned I have some new things coming up soon!

Hey there! Long time no write, I just wanted to say thanks a TON for the watches and hitting 2,500! Thats a ton of people dang and I'm super grateful for it...especially since I'm slow as a snail with updates and posts. You guys rock!

In other news, I found out my Skitzo cartoons are going to get a special screening at the Alamo Drafthouse theater in San Francisco for a one night showing animation fest here in the city! Thats right all the Skitzo cartoons on a BIG screen, it's going to be horrifying! The dates are still being determined by the vendors but they say it will be somewhere late April?...so I will keep you posted on that! Such big news for me that I'm really working on a new Skitzo cartoon to premiere just for the event :D And then after that you can expect it here on good ol' Newgrounds! Oh btw, Tom you have a Skitzo plush toy waiting for you, please respond to the kickstarter survey when you get a chance so I can mail your goodie, thanks!

Meanwhile I just posted a new Fibble and Sin pencil comic in the Art gallery. Please give it a read and tell me what you think hmm?? I had a fun time drawing it and any views/comments would be awesome. Fibble and Sin Comic

So yeah I guess thats all for now....more stuff coming up! Here's a doodle to tide you over:

Ah! How time flies....and now a new year is here! Well I have a ton of updates and things to come so let me give you all a recap of what has happened since my last journal.

I had a comic panel in Salinas, CA. During the Salinas Comic-con! It was a load of fun to have a table there where I talked to new readers and introduced In The Dark to a bunch of teen, kids and adults. I was basically at my table all day but then in the afternoon I had a talk and slideshow presentation which was very cool. I screened my animations and told them about my future projects and whats on the way with Issue 3 of In The Dark. :D  I even had a small 6yr old kid come up and want to draw Skitzo the bear!! hahaha dang, how could i say no?? So they basically copied a doodle I was working on...you can see how that turned out! I'm training the little psychos early! 



In other news I had a wonderful Xmas with my family. Got to eat a ton of homemade foods, laugh and hang out with my sibling and cousins and then open some cool gifts and just enjoy the holiday full tilt. And I saw the star wars movie on IMAX too so that was a pleasant bonus. The dark side is baaaackkk.

The only delay in all this holiday cheer was that I had very little time to draw or do any art :I but that's all about to end and I have a load of back log art to post soon! The first things on the list are 2 new pages of Issue 3 for Patreon, a Skitzo xmas comic, a bunch of watercolor doodles and some crazy dino pics I did at an art draw. The long awaited fibble and sin pencil comic, a new Skitzo cartoon and some other goodies I have in store. 

So onwards to 2016! I have to say 2015 was a big year for me, as it marked the launch of my Patreon page, a bunch of animations I did for issue 3, and the BIGGEST success was funding the kickstarter and the production of the Skitzo the Bear plush toys *due to arrive any time now! (eta-Feb or March)* Its been a crazy year and lots of adventures but for the most part it was a fun ride and hopefully the next year is even BETTER! A huge thanks to my fans, friends and family for always giving me positive feedback and motivations. I wouldn't be where I am if not for your support! <3 My new years resolution this year is to finish Issue 3 and have it printed by the end of 2016!

Hey everyone! So I had my comic panel talk in East Palo Alto, and it went really well! I horrified and thrilled a bunch of people and kids :D mostly the kids! haha
I showed preview pages on In The Dark Issue 3, showed them my (soon to be completed) Skitzo plush toy, and I did a 10 min screening of all the Skitzo cartoons too!
------------------------------------------------------

I had lots of interesting questions from the kids in the audience too! Here are a few that I felt was worth reporting.
 

• Kid one: "Who would win Skitzo or Chucky??"  Me: "mmm I think Skitzo is just a LITTLE more powerful then Chucky"  Kid one: "Whoa...thats nuts!" 

• Kid Two: "Why are Skitzo's eyes white?"  Me: "Because he's a Sun Bear! Sun bears have a brown collar pattern on their neck (Skitzo has a collar too!) and they have white pupil eyes (so Skitzo does too!)  ...*cough cough* it could also be because he's demonic....*cough cough*

• Kid three: "It's obvious the devil is in that bear!! I think it was smart they destroyed his 1920's cartoons because even these tiny scraps of them were REALLY SCARY! :0" Me: "eh heh..  ^^; yeah Skitzo is a pretty scary bear! *sweats as the adults glare at me for giving these kids nightmares* "

------------------------------------------------------

Also I just posted a new animation on Patreon! Yay! This is probably the best one ive done this far...its a heated angry Sin and Idolatry going at it! www.patreon.com/Comick?ty=h

Wanna watch special animated scenes of the comic book?? Consider being a patron and supporting my work on Patreon! Donate a few bucks and get comic pages of Issue 3, special flash animations, and back stage sketches and doodles of In The Dark. I should really advertise it more heh....

------------------------------------------------------

Also this Thursday Oct 15 at the F8 - 1192 Folsom St, San Francisco, CA 94103  in SF I will be there this Thursday for a drink and draw event called the Sketch Fest. Got invited to be a guest artist too! I'll have a bunch of goodies and swag and a bunch of artists sit and draw and drink...the theme is Halloween so I think my work will fit right in!  :D

And finally, I saw the poll on DA and looks like Fibble and Sin "the fortune teller" pencil comic got the most votes! So I'll be getting that posted up soon! I was surprised how close all the choices really got too wow...Trash and Clash even got votes! haha so I'll be posting them 2nd afterwards. I also have a request drawing prize I'm coloring and will post soon and then I'm penciling and inking a new page of issue 3. So busy!!! 

And with Halloween around the corner, I have a little goodie planned at the end of the month :) so stay tooned!!

Hey guys!! I’ve been massive busy working on In The Dark Issue 3, making the Skitzo t-shirts, and animating a new goodie that should be out soon on Patreon…..but in the meantime a quick promo! I’ll be doing a comics panel in East Palo Alto, CA next week talking about indie comics, skitzo and the upcoming toy and In The Dark issue 3. You can see preview pages of the next issue and I’ll have a sample of the Skitzo plush toy too!  :D  yay! Come by and visit if you are around the area and say hello. I’ll also have goodies for sale like comics, keychains and buttons too.

More art and animation coming soon!

Hi everyone!!  WHOA, Its been since May since I updated here O_O how does the time go by SO FAST!!? But lo' and behold, I am ALIVE and back  from the dead to come and bother you all with my rants and ravings.  

So here's a long recap of all the stuff that has been going on since then...
 

• I just received my custom made Skitzo the Bear key chains! and they turned out AWESOME! I don't know if pictures can really do them justice, but man these things are a nice heavy feeling made with black nickel metal and have a professional nice shiny color and texture to them. All backers on the Skitzo kickstarter who did a $25 reward or higher will get one of these goodies FREE added with their orders once I ship them all off. Stay tooned for update emails on that via Kickstarter for survey info! In The meantime, Any extra key chains I have remaining will soon be up for sale on my webstore :D  In case you missed the kickstarter and want one of these slick babies.

• As you may have noticed on DA, I also posted Part 7 of S.A.H.U, which was a huge undertaking haha, in my sketch book this part lasted 16 pages!! but yeah if you have a chance, give it a read and let me know your thoughts :)  S.A.H.U - Part 7  I'm also going to post two one pagers of SAHU that were in my books that I never posted. They are just quickie one offs but still pretty funny, so you can keep an eye out for those this week. 

• The plush toy is still on the way and heavy into production now, the plush company let me know that they should be ready in SEP. So that's exciting news! Come Halloween time people should be getting their Skitzo plush toys yay! 

• Art on the way includes: A new Fibble and Sin art piece that I've been dying to draw for a while now and since the sahu part is out I'll focus on this next. There is also a short Trash and Clash comic on the way, as well as a new "bus 9" adventure I had recently haha (oh the horrors). I laid out a rough storyboard to a new Skitzo short, and a bunch of extra goodies are on the way that are kinda random collabs with some fellow art friends but should be fun!

Hey everyone sorry for the silence! I was away for a week on vacation with family for memorial day.  :)  Had a nice amount of rest and relaxation ahh. And now I'm back, refreshed and ready for more art making!! Here's a few updates about what I've been up do lately:

                                    ​

• Firstly, if you didn't notice, The Skitzo kickstarter funded! YAY!! Again a HUGE thanks to the backers who made it happen! I got the funds and have now begun production schedules for the plush. In fact, I just got word from the plush company yesterday that the toy will go into factory production next week! I also submitted to them a custom hang tag for the toy...so Skitzo will also get a cool little hang tag art clipped on him. :b  Just like some demented beanie baby haha. They said the toys will be ready in about 3-4 months so we have a while to wait as they get made, but I'll keep you guys up to date as more info and pictures comes out!  :D 

• Meanwhile, as I was on vacation I took my sketch book along with me and made almost 5 pages of new pencil comic of SAHU part 7. The next part is kinda long but its getting there and I should be posting it up in the coming weeks. I also have 2 mini side one-page comics I did of SAHU that I never posted...so you can expect those as well! I also have plans for a new splash pic of Fibble and Sin and a new mini comic of Trash and Clash (who have been neglected for a while now....) Lots of new art on the way! 

• And now that Skitzo's big project is on the way, that gives me a little time to get back to In The Dark and Issue 3! If you have been on my Patreon following the comic pages you may have noticed the brief absence of posts last month (due to the kickstarter taking all my time and energy). But now I'M BACK and jumping on those pages with a fury again. My long term plan is to have Issue 3 done by the end of this year! So I'm going to really focus on that goal! Booyah! 

• Animation wise I have a few things on my list to complete: A BRAND NEW Skitzo cartoon, some new animated comic panels for Patreon, and my super late In The Dark cartoon Episode 1. I've also been collaborating with a friend to make a test animation of their character Beardhammer the barbarian retail worker into an animated goodie hehe that should be a fun new little thing to experiment with :b I have a Fleetway animation thingy coming up and I'm also getting back to my mini "animation fun" segments because I've been itching to make some more lately.

So yeah! Lots of stuff coming around!! I'm gonna be busy, but its all good busy stuff  :D  Stay tooned for more posts!

Happy Pico Day Newgrounds!! I wish I could have gone to the event *thanks for the invite Tom!* but I'm making sure I go next year and get time off to do it!
