Happy Free Comic Book Day!

No I don’t want to hear about your boring dream! But since you’ve already started now I’m invested so please continue.

Updated everything! Now with less typos and incorrect info!!!! See you this summer

Teenage dream

Finding ways to celebrate within our budget 👍

So this happened EXACTLY at written. It’s so weird to be giving talks and workshops about comics, trying to encourage artists to be positive and keep going, while behind the scenes I’ve received SO MANY rejections for events and book proposals.

Posing with our new tape like it’s a fish. Pocket Vinyl Leaked Demos 1990 cassette out now!

If you’re anywhere near one of these go grab a copy of my graphic novel - 32 Church, Champlain, NY - 3000 Blvd Laframboise, Saint-Hyacinthe, QC - 2 Chemin de l’Équerre, Baie-Saint-Paul, QC - 806 Rue Delanoé, Baie-Comeau, QC - 985 Blvd Jolliet, Baie-Comeau, QC - 123 Rue de la Vérendrye, Sept-Iles, QC

After 35 years of floating around the internet, our 1990 demos (that are considered to be the first album ever leaked on the internet) are finally getting a digital release!!!

First panel is a pretty accurate depiction of a panic attack

Haha, you’re empathetic!

Based on true events

This is one of my personal favourite paintings I made last year. I painted this live during a @pocketvinyl.bsky.social show at the Golden Owl in New London, CT. We’ve got another show scheduled there coming up, so keep an eye out for that! This piece is 24”x24”, oil on board

Wellness check: Is your outie caught up yet?

“Do you ever use comics to express your inner emotions?”

Here’s the last batch of watercolour memories (until next year!) - Getting to see Starry Night for the first time on my birthday - Swimming in the ocean - Ice skating on the coldest day of the year - Comforting ourselves on a sad day with a visit to an art museum

A few more watercolour memories: - The only vegetarian option at a dinner - Experiencing the magic that is totality - Celebrating our anniversary with Scotch that matches our year - Finally getting to leave Sticktown

Some more watercolour memories I made recently: - We flew across the world to go to the Banksy Cut & Run exhibition and heard these people coming out right before we went in - There’s a graffiti tag that we see everywhere around us, and it’s such a thrill to spot it far from home 1/2

Some more watercolour memories I made recently: - Looking at the Milky Way on a lake in Quebec - A day off on tour with our band - When my graphic novel got misprinted and Eric took care of everything while the cats comforted me - Scotland

My band is recording and releasing four different cover albums this year, and we just dropped our first one today! Starting strong with a full album cover of the Beatles White Album. 1/?

I’m uploading art videos on YouTube youtube.com/shorts/Fuehs...

Instead of doing any self-reflection I made this comic

I’m so happy @rustycreates.bsky.social reached out and encouraged me to participate in this Reverse Caption Contest. There’s a link to vote for your favourite, so check that out to see the other comics as well! Also, anyone else have like 1 weirdly long eyebrow hair?? What’s up with that guy??

Voting for the Reverse Caption Contes is officially live! Head on over to vote for your favorite toons: pollunit.com/en/polls/rev...

Catching up with comics. The Touring Test rests at the intersection of gag-a-day and autobio, and features creative endeavors, relationship goofin', and cats. New comics go up at @thetouringtest.bsky.social, but I liked this older panel a lot (full page at link): www.webtoons.com/en/canvas/th...

I made this painting for an exhibit honoring my painting professor who is retiring this year. This piece symbolizes so much of my artistic journey and how this professor encouraged me to be as weird as I liked. youtube.com/shorts/CcuM_...

I love these strange creatures. I painted this live during a @pocketvinyl.bsky.social show in Roanoke, Virginia. This piece is oil on board, 24”x24”

Working on something

Sharing comforting paintings on here like it’s my job. I painted this at a library, what’s cozier than that? Oil on board, 24”x24”

I’m hoping to bring some more art into my feed, so here’s a watercolour I created for a book published by @runningthegoat.bsky.social youtube.com/shorts/d0G9z...
