Ghostcat Comics (Re)Launch

Mon, May 27, 2019

You may not be aware of this, but I’ve been drawing webcomics off and on again since 2000. I’ve taken some long breaks and my update schedule has been spotty at best, but I’ve always considered it a part of my identity. I draw comics, even if I’n not drawing them right now. …

Goodbye Squarespace, Hello Hugo

Sun, Nov 18, 2018

A Little History I originally developed my Squarespace webcomic template because I wasn’t happy with having to use Wordpress+ComicPress and I wanted another option. I latched on to Squarespace because it had a pretty robust developer platform and allowed for more customization than any other …

The Goon Illustration

Fri, Feb 26, 2016

I did an illustration of The Goon for an online art competition I’m still teaching myself how to use Procreate effectively, so this one had a pretty good amount of trial and error as I was figuring things out. I also used a modified old dutch painting technique Ray Frenden blogged about, and I …

iPad Pro Review

Mon, Feb 8, 2016

I've been using the iPad Pro for a couple months now, and I’m going to give my impressions strictly from an illustrator/comic artist perspective. If you want a review of the device as a laptop replacement or next-gen tablet, others have done a better job than I could...

BringBackMST3K

Mon, Nov 23, 2015

I can finally promote the fact the my brother Hampton is going to be the new voice of Crow T. Robot in the upcoming MST3K reboot! To say that this is a big deal for him is a massive understatement. When we were growing up, we were both huge fans of the show (Though Hampton always loved it more). …

Trying Something New

Thu, Nov 19, 2015

I know, I know. It’s been pretty dead around here. I could attribute it to a lot of things and make excuses, but in the end, I’ve been allowing other things in life to take over my productivity. I tend to do this thing where I miss a deadline, then avoid the task completely because I …

The Best Style is No-Template Style

Wed, Aug 12, 2015

IMPORTANT UPDATE:  Due to an undocumented limit on Squarespace’s Archive List block, the current solution will not work with >1000 comics in the archive. If your comic archives are more than 1000, or you will reach it soon, please find another solution. I’m sorry to have launched …

template-less

Wed, Aug 5, 2015

The No-Template Style I’ve gotten some feedback on my webcomic template for Squarespace, and the two biggest complaints are that the $18 per month developer account is too expensive, and the template is too hard to customize for someone with no coding skills whatsoever. Since I released the …

Other Comics

Thu, Dec 11, 2014

In the time between when Rob and Elliot ended and Hamlet’s Danish began, I drew a couple short comic stories for an online competition. It was a way for me to keep in practice, and to try and grow as a storyteller. They were based on a random subject chosen for the competition, so they are one …
