Everyone’s probably wondering why I haven’t updated Polterguys in weeks.

Well, that’s because I started working at DreamWorks TV Animation in Glendale last month so I’ve been a little distracted!

AHHHHH seriously, you guys, I’m super excited to be here working with an awesome team and on an actual show. It was a lot to take in this month and I can still hardly believe it’s for real.

Kickass lady from the South Pacific

It’s been over a year since I started at Soapbox Films and I just wanted to pause and celebrate the fact that I have been making a living off my art for over 12 months! That’s…a pretty big deal for me. I never went to art school and I’ve long ago thought I’ve missed all the opportunities to pursue art careers.One year ago, I moved back to Los Angeles anxious and uncertain about my future; I’ve decided I was going to take a chance and give storyboarding as a...

Dear Theodosia is my contribution to the Ham4Pamphlet project, a compilation of of forty-six illustrations made by different artists tackling each track in the Hamilton musical.

I went on a hike during Thanksgiving break and my housemate who accompanied me on it mentioned if I ever got around to writing about my experience, he’d love to read about it. So I ended up writing a quick a journal comic to share.

I’m back!
Now that I’m settled in a new place here in LA, I can finally get back to the business of comics! I’ve decided to finally set-up a Patreon campaign so I can let you guys help me create more Polterguys pages and art. Please check it out and consider helping out other artists as well!

While I don’t have an update when pages will go back up, I’ll be doing my best to build up a considerable buffer again to avoid hiatuses like this one in the future. Agai...

Hi guys,

I’ve got a place in LA for a month so it’s a very temporary situation and I’m still looking around for jobs. Everything’s still a bit touch and go so I’m asking for a little bit more patience with my comic’s hiatus. I know you guys can’t wait to see what happens next and believe me, no one’s more eager to see this book finished up than me!

Thanks for understanding.

This is a fun series I’ve been working on for a client this year. It’s a noir detective series featuring the Archie Comics characters in different roles and it’s been so much fun to create. You can read more about the client’s ideas for these images here at his tumblr.

Another year has passed! Here’s my review for last year and my hopeful outlook for the year ahead!

2013 Highlights:
