Blog postI thought I'd take a moment and reflect. I'm not the best at reviewing and analyzing my process but I get asked enough about how did I make a graphic novel that I figured it may be wise to just write it all down here. As best as I remember it!
How did Peter & Ernesto come to be an early reader's graphic novel published by the wonderful people at First Second?
Well, it started with Goldilocks and the Three Bears I believe. I did a silent take on that classic story fo -
Blog postThere's never been a better time to become a Grickle patron than now! Beginning this March I will be giving away a piece of original Grickle art (as seen on my Instagram) on a monthly basis to patrons at the $5 level or higher! Each month a raffle will be held and I will select one winner! Come join the fun!

Blog postWith the demise of Vine as we know it I've decided to give my Grickle loops a place to live on Youtube. Take a break from the madness of headlines and enjoy the madness of Grickle Television! A place where Vines are preserved and new bits of Grickle oddness are added in!
Volume 1
And Volume 2
And don't forget to support Grickle and enjoy sneak previews at the Grickle Patron Channel!

Blog postI'm happy to announce there is a long play collection of ALL the Halloween-themed Grickle shorts from the past decade on Youtube! There is even a little NEW material added via a spooky intermission located in between the cartoons!
Relive the nightmares on the Grickle Channel!
Happy Halloween, everyone! -
Blog postI've got a NEW cartoon up on the Grickle Channel! It's titled "Lunch".
Perhaps it will serve as a welcome distraction from the insanity these days or function as commentary? I'll let you be the judge, but hopefully it provides a moment of pleasure either way.
I've been working hard on a BIG Grickle short and there is finally light at the end of the tunnel! If you're already a Grickle Patron then you'll be hearing more in the near future about that! And if yo -
Blog postThe latest Grickle cartoon is up on my Youtube Channel. Have a look and then sit and think about it. Or just go on with your day. The choice is yours!

Blog postMy Dad was really into motorcycles.
He grew up fixing bikes and taking apart motors all the time. He loved it. Very mechanically minded, my father.
Me, not so much.
When I was 11 years old my Dad surprised me with what I think he felt was a monumental birthday gift. A Yamaha MX 80cc motorcycle was propped up on its kickstand in the backyard. My very own motorbike! All for me. To learn how to drive on. Change gears. Change oil. An engine to care for. -
Blog postHey everyone!
I've created a Grickle Patreon Page! It's been a long time coming! Over the last year or so I've been quietly weighing the options of how best to fund my ongoing efforts in the Grickle Channel and Patreon seemed like the smartest option!
I've really struggled with how to properly monetize Grickle. Initially I'd been considering a Kickstarter campaign but the more I researched it it felt like the wrong structure for what I was doing. I plan to create Grickl -
Blog postI did a Twitter poll the other week asking what everyone's favorite Grickle character was.
The Hidden People won it by a narrow margin over Principal Skeleton.
So in an effort to utilize this new found data and also to help fund the ongoing explorations of the Grickle universe, I present to you a NEW Hidden People t-shirt! Now available at the wonderful new Grickle Shop!
They're watching you. They're always watching. -
Blog postAs mentioned previously there's a brand new Grickle Shop open for business today! There's a bunch of things I've never made available before! Stuff like MUGS! Grickle mugs! And debuting is "The Smartest Dog in the World" shirt! Available in yummy cranberry or olive colors!
I'll be adding new designs incrementally over the next few months! Keep an eye out!
I should also mention that I'm likely going to shut down the Grickle Store very soon. So if there are any prints -
Blog postWell as much as I tried to not let it happen, it happened.
I have severely lagged on keeping up on this blog.
But I'm here today! Primarily to give a heads up that there will be a brand spanking new Grickle Shop this Wednesday, March 23! It will feature a completely new and exclusive "The Smartest Dog in the World" shirt, along with some other exciting Grickle-y items! I'll be adding new designs in the coming months as ideas hit me. So keep an eye -
Blog postHey everyone!
Just a short post to share some exciting news in the world of Grickle today! I'm working on a graphic for First Second called "Peter & Ernesto"! It's about two very different sloths who are the best of friends! And while it will be geared towards younger readers I hope that everyone will really dig the adventures of these two!
More news and work-in-progress images will appear in the coming months!
Very stoked to be doing comics a -
Blog postIt's 2016 now.
The future is here. I've got a lot planned for this year and I'm excited about it BUT I'm not admitting to anything until I'm sure it'll happen. That way no one can hold me to any of it.
I'm a New Year's coward. It's true.
Although one thing I will admit to is exciting progress on the Grickle Gardens! For those of you who don't frequent this blog often, the Grickle Gardens is my customized table hockey set that I've been obsessing over the la -
Blog postHey everyone!
Just a short post to let people know that I've got a new Grickle shirt available for the holiday season! The little dancing beaver from "We Sing the Forest Electric" fame is up on Teespring for a very limited time!
I know, like everyone else, it's always disturbing to have Christmas stuff thrown in our faces immediately following Halloween, but unfortunately if I don't do this campaign right now the shirts wouldn't ship in time for the holidays. -
Blog postNobody's really asking but I'm telling anyways.
It's my blog. And that's what a blog's for, right?
This post is primarily about my progress on my obsessive home project of customizing a Stiga Table Hockey set. You can choose to read it or not. Feel free to bail. I won't think any less of you.
For those of you who happen to enjoy the sport of hockey or just like looking at people's odd hobbies please join me!
Here we go.

Blog postHi everyone!
This short blog post is solely devoted to the fact that I've got a new cartoon up on the Grickle Channel today. It is the longest short I've ever made thus far in the decade or so I've been doing this. It lived in scribbles and doodle and in my mind for well over 4 years before I finally completed it. It's creepy. It's scary. And it's just in time for Halloween. Enjoy.
Tell your friends and enemies out there! Spread it around, internet-style! -
Blog postI was thinking about models the other day.
The models you build. Not the ones that strut around on catwalks and purse their lips for the camera.
Models that come in prefabricated pieces in cardboard boxes. Accompanied with step by step instructions on how to take it to it's final destined form.
I loved having models.
I hated building models.
I was lucky enough to hang around with an older kid in my neighborhood who was about 3, may -
Blog postI'm a nervous guy. There's always been a healthy level of anxiety in my daily existence. It's just part of who I am. Nervous. Cautious. More nervous.
When you're an anxious person you find different ways of coping with stress. You go through life trying and discarding many methods until you find the ones that work best. You create constants that you go to. Comfort food for your mind.
My comfort food has always been hockey. Goalies, specifically.

Blog postGood day!
First off I'd like to let everyone know that a brand new cartoon is up exclusively on the Grickle Channel today! Please watch "Soup Leprechaun" if you haven't already! And spread the word and links and stuff to any and all who you think might be entertained by such depravity! I thank you in advance.
Whenever I publish a new cartoon I get to enjoy that short lived rush of internet gush! That brief moment of satisfaction where you feel like it's " -
Blog postLabor day weekend just finished. Or as I used to say when I lived in Canada, "Labour Day is over."
And as a result I did very little laboring.
Including prepping a new blog post for this week. My apologies on that.
In lieu of a fresh new topic, I will instead ramble out a few words and post Grickle vines you may or may not have already seen. Stuff like this:
Or even things like this:
And for the few rambling words, thi -
Blog postI'm not a fast reader. I'm pretty sure I'm not even a good reader. My snail pace doesn't actually allow me to retain more deeply the words I'm reading. I'm just slow.
But I like to read.
When I try to think back to why I like to read it's no surprise that comics were the start. I've always loved comics. At an early age I was specifically hooked on Peanuts. And not so much the daily strip in the paper, although I certainly paid attention to that, I was addicted to the pa -
Blog postGood day!
I was mulling over what to write this week and I as I started sifting through past memories and events I came upon one that I'm sure most others in my profession can relate to.
Being the best drawer.
For a good chunk of time I believe I held that title in my Northern Ontario elementary school. A solid run from about Grade 2 to Grade 8. I don't think I was cocky about it, but I sure did like having a 'thing' that set me apart from others.

Blog postHello.
Every now and again, or actually quite often, I'm reminded about how little I know about the world around me. How I just function in my tiny narrow splinter of the overall pie that is this planet. Regularly using machines and inventions I have absolutely no clue about their inner workings. Or very vague overviews that I never really put to the test.
I was driving to an appointment the other day when my car did an a most alarming thing. Driving over a major bridge -
Blog postHello everyone!
I hope your week is on a pleasant course! I wanted to draw your attention, if I may, to the newest addition on the Grickle Channel, "Dreams of Venus"! It debuted at 8am this morning and has been burning up views ever since. A direct link to the cartoon is here:
I love the sound of a raging fire and I think that had a lot to do with why this one ended up the way it did. The fury and intensity of that sound is unrivaled. Hopefully this cartoon -
Blog postHello!
Sorry I missed last week everybody! I went away on vacation and the thought of typing out a new blog post on my phone seemed incredibly daunting. So I didn't.
But I'm back now! And with a fresh new post! About.... uhh... errr... about this how-to time lapse doodle video I created!
Neat, eh? I may try doing more of these in the future. Even just selecting the music alone is worth the effort!
I've been continuing to create new
