Penny reading poster! (part 2)
The thumbnail has been refined and a bunch of fiddly things that were bugging me have been fixed. I gave Penny and Boyfriend The Cat a shearling rug, it seemed appropriate... and I filled out the cover on the Kissy Book Penny's reading, gotta get some kissing in there.I have a less fancy version of this chair (from ikea) and can attest, this is a fun position to sit in a wingback chair. But it's probably bad for your back
KICKSTARTER ENDS IN 10 HOURS - and cats!
Hey everyone!!! Heads up - if you wanted to back the WANDER kickstarter, the campaign ends in TEN HOURS!!!! It'll end at 9:00 PM EST!Wander collects all of my and Ananth's autobio travelogue comics from 2012-2018, in the spirit of our Johnny Wander autobio comics. If you like those comics, you'll like this book, too!I've been putting together "Cats Around the World" postcards for the campaign using photos we've taken while traveling. The above one was taken in Hamamatu, Japan! I wanted to play with the long black sha...

Ananth and I are going to be heading to ALA in DC next month and I'm doing a small reading-themed illustration for the event β IT WAS A PERFECT OPPORTUNITY TO DRAW PENNY AGAIN! I missed her!!!!I'll share the progress while I work on her; here's the refined thumbnail!

Iolani Palace is well worth the visit! A lot of condensed history that I'd have had no idea of otherwise.We're kickstarting Wander: A JW Travelogue! You can back it here!

One thing I tried really hard to fit into this scene was communicating Leeds' anxiety through framing. Throughout this conversation, Leeds is rigidly surrounded/trapped by his environment, even outside the "magical" view of him. I'm not sure if EVERYONE got it, but at least one reader pointed it out and I was really pleased!

Hey everyone! We're posting some new travelogue comics in tandem with our WANDER travelogue kickstarter! Here's page 2. Also... man... instant ramen on the plane has been a real travel hack for us!
Hawaii Travelogue 1
Hey guys! We're back with travelogue comics! We went to Hawaii last year, and here is where we'll tell the tale...
New on Kickstarter! WANDER: A JW Travelogue Collection!

Check it out!One change you'll see is that there's no shipping being asked with ...

I did SO much fiddly research on small woodworking shops and tools while planning this scene; this was actually one of the first things I planned when starting out chapter 4. I have a full layout of Leeds' workshop in the back floating around somewhere, I should find it and share it! I was kinda bummed his enormous shop vac was largely covered by speech bubbles, but it's unimportant and I'm sure we'll see it again some day.Note: a big pile of driftwood in the corner. hmm what could that be for hmmm
BBR ch 4 pg. 21 thumbnail
LOL I really loved how Leeds' face looked in the 4th panel sketch, so I just pretty much inked it for the final version

I guffawed when opening the pencils for this page, I completely forgot doing this!I tried to get this one to work with the golden ratio, but our comic pages are actually a little too square to make it work with the REAL golden ratio. My real hope was to get the eye to naturally fall onto Percy's face, which it kind of does anyway, especially with coloring and shading.
BBR ch 4 pg. 18-19 thumbnail
THERE'S SO MANY 2-PAGES SPREADS IN THE LATTER HALF OF THIS CHAPTER!!!!This one was originally done as two separate drawings in procreate that were stitched together in Photoshop once I got to the pencils stage. Which explains Percy's cool vague boot in that final breakout panel lolThis is going to be a full spread in a collection, but we broke it into 2 individual pages to post online - so I erased Percy's right foot when it was posted on johnny wander.

BABY CHIAKI!!! (well, baby percy)I've mentioned this before, but I really enjoy having characters that are so large that they can completely frame other characters or create frames within a panel haha ... It was important to me that Chiaki was enveloped by the other character's silhouette in that first shot.
(kinda nsfw??) Leeds Bodypillow wallpapers
HEY Y'ALL HAPPY APRIL FOOLS!!!!This is the illustration I did for today's April 1st post on johnnywander.com ... a friend talked about wanting it as a wallpaper, so I figured I might as well make higher res versions available for use!!!!! PLEASE USE THESE IF YOU SO DESIRE!!!!!!!!!!!

THE RETURN OF EXTREMELY TALL EX-BOYFRIEND
BBR ch 4 pg. 15 thumbnail
I've been trying to find more creative ways to get tall full-body "fashion" shots into pages ... but you have to be really mindful of where you do bubble placement or it'll make read order confusing!!

Basements also have really fun lines and geometry that can lead the eye or subdivide a panel! I did TOO MUCH RESEARCH on unfinished basements for this scene!!!!IT CLYDE, HELLO CLYDE
a thing I've been working on
Some geometric maws and a cat!What am I working on! Who knows!
BBR ch 4 pg. 13 thumbnail
GETTING BACK TO SHARING THUMBNAILS!!I definitely overdid this one and pretty much wound up inking a slightly elaborated version of the original thumbnail haha...I'm really pleased how the geometry and shape of this scene came out, it's really fun having a character that can completely block out or subdivide a panel or page!
(censored) Persona 5: Carmen Fanart
OH SO THAT FANART OF CARMEN I DREW EARLIER, I MIGHT'VE FINISHED IT OOPS!!!! I don't really work lineless so this was very meditative for me haha.I censored this one, since we've never shared NSFW art on the patreon and I didn't want get anyone in trouble for checking email at work!!! But I'm making a very limited number of prints of these in case anyone was interested in picking this up at ECCC.... ππ¦just .... so u know ...... ππ¦π¦π¦π¦
