The launch party is coming up this Saturday – I hope to see some of you there!

SCP was a weekly gag strip that I used to do – this site is a blog that I currently maintain to post story-based comics. You can read the old SCP archives here.

In the meantime, check out my most recent collaboration: Replacement Parts.

It’s still at an early stage, but it’s the most ambitious comics project I’ve ever attempted. If all goes well, it will be a book-length story about mining – and monsters! I’ll post more once the pages start flowing.

At 12 pages, it’s the longest thing that I’ve ever published, and was a real education in terms of story and production pacing. Many of you have probably already seen it (it went up with the new site design), but I’m giving it it’s own post so that there’s a place for comments.

Also, here’s an early concept sketch of Camden:
