It’s been a long time since I’ve posted anything, anywhere, about my work process. Now is a good time to talk about it because I’ve made some changes over the last couple of years. I’m going to skip the writing and/or thumbnailing process and just focus on the making of the actual pages.
it’s a Nothing Better update! back to Jane and Katt visiting Jane’s sister Kim in Minneapolis.

long overdue Nothing Better Chapter 15 update! in case you didn’t know, my wife and I had our second child, a little boy named Leo, in September. so even though these pages were all inked at the beginning of September, we’ve been getting used to the challenge of two kids in the house.
also - if you hadn’t heard yet, I also started working on another project called Raised on Ritalin, about my experiences growing up with ADD and being treated with Ritalin and other meds. check it out HERE.

My wife and I are expecting another baby in September. Every little bit of extra money helps. If you enjoy Nothing Better and want to own some original art from the series, please consider helping us out.
Here’s how it works: from now until August 1st, make a donation (click HERE) and you’ll be eligible to win an original Nothing Better page. The people who make the 5 highest donations will all win their choice of a Nothing Better page. So if you’re really keen on owning some original NB art, make a donation that you think is suitably high enough to score you the page you want.

**(Bonus: because of the way I work you will actually win two pieces of original art. I draw the pages in pencil, scan them in, convert them to bluelines, print and ink on top of those. So what you’ll get is the complete art for one page: a page of pencils and a page of inks!)**

NB15 cover. I’m generally happy with how this came out. when I hit on the idea of using this gas station scene for the cover, I knew I wanted to take advantage of the unique night time lighting of a location like that.
I’ve also been very impressed with the way Anthony Clark works lighting and glowing into a lot of his color work, so I wanted to try my hand at that technique as well.
I also feel like the design/type treatment I came up with works well with the whole ‘bright light’ idea.
