Keeping Imaginary Worlds Free and Independent
Thanks to everyone for supporting our Kickstarter and getting it fully funded! We’ll be printing the next Dragon and Goat book The Thyme Bandit and creating a batch of D&G enamel pins, keeping Dragon and Goat’s adventures alive through their 15th anniversary- and we couldn’t do it without your help!
With official news today of Disney gobbling up more imaginary worlds by acquiring 21st Century Fox, the corporation further tightens its reigns on our collective imaginations, and I appreciate that you guys are supporting independent creators! I hope that you can continue to support not just D&G’s worlds but other artists as well, because if everything has to answer to Mickey Moose- what will become of our children’s childhoods if the worlds into which they can play and imagine is created in a single boardroom? I think you mean “bored”room…
I’m just a one man studio (though, with a very supportive wife/editor!) and thanks to your support I can continue to make weird and wonderful things without having to answer to a snoody suit (or just “snuit”). I can directly respond to you, the fans of this and my other toonified universes, so be sure to drop me a line!
The Cover for the Thyme Bandit, the 9th Dragon and Goat Book Revealed!
So this took a little longer than I had thought, but I decided to draw a circuit board in Illustrator so….
But the cover is finished! Behold the Thyme Bandits shiny new clothes.

First Grand Crossing!
Last night I got a call from my friend of 32 years, and he reminded me that I was currently living the dream of our 8 year old selves. We used to talk about selling comic books out of the back of a van (very cooly painted with a galactic wizard and dragon breathing Hi-C ectoplasm) and, though, the van never happened, I am very lucky to be not only selling comics at conventions but making my very own comics. I am super lucky to have friends and family that support my artings and projects- especially with this one!
So thankful to have all of your support this holiday season on this Kickstarter and to already be at $1000!
The Thyme Bandit: Getting Ready for the Harvest
The past 3 years I’ve been working on the next Dragon and Goat book: The Thyme Bandit. In that time my wife and I have moved, had a baby, been laid off from teaching at a state university, re-hired, and am now getting to the end of the project. All the while I have slowly been whittling away at the book with my pen (I keep it very sharp!)
A lot has changed in the world, in just the past year, and I despite all the blossoming negativity across the globe, I’m hopeful that goodness will prevail because the other side of the coin is- just not funny. What Dragon and Goat struggle with in this book are things that we’re struggling with as a society today, but how they triumph over forces of evil is through overcoming differences and working together.
This is the first time I’ve put the future of a project in the hands of other people by doing the book via Kickstarter crowd-funding, and I’m amazed to see the support so far from old and new fans of Dragon and Goat. I’m very thankful for the support.
I don’t want to blow out of proportion that this book will fix all the world’s problems, but, at least, it can take us on an adventure, give us a couple laughs and get us to think more deeply about our world and how we can help grow a future better for ourselves and others.
