Many things changed when I launched my first Crowdfunding campaign. I hoped it would be well received, but was so nervous. --so much that I miss-launched it 15 days before planned! :P
In the end, it was very well received and many more people got to know my work. Each time I launch a new campaign I still feel those butterflies in my stomach, but at the same time I feel so grateful for all the people who have faith in my work and make my books a reality, I simply couldn’t do it without them!
I’m so happy to be riding along such a great community. ♥
PROJECTS
NANO JAMS
I wrapped up my pages for NANO JAMS, very happy with the results. Dan Whitehead has written something really special here, full of nostalgia, broken memories and cyberpunk.
Here’s the process for the first page.
RE:PETE is written by Dan Whitehead, lettered by Micah Meyers, and art by myself. It is one of the Killtopia: NANO JAMS stories, Dave Cook’s Cyberpunk Anthology, and it will blow your senses! You can Pre order a copy here.
SKETCHBOOK VOL 3 is coming SOON!!!
Sketching is entering my personal kitchen, where I play with the ingredients, finding new and fresh combinations, discovering spicy new flavours. In SKETCHBOOK Vol 3 you will find doodles, sketches, character & creature designs, art commissions, pinups, cover processes & comic pages...basically anything and everything.
Take a look at some of the pages of SKETCHBOOK Vol 3:
SKETCHBOOK Vol 3 will be A4 size (21 x 29.7cm / 8.3 x 11.7 inch), full colour, perfect bound, and 60 pages long.

ANTICUCHO review
ANTICUCHO received an amazing review by Jodi Scaife from FANBASE PRESS.
The artwork in Antichucho is warm and dynamic, moving the story throughout the panels. I’m sure I need to go back and just look at each page slowly to find all the tiny details. Even the background characters are unique, and the main cast showcase a variety of looks, body types, and cyberpunk details. The bright, bold colors highlight a world where the kids struggle to survive but also live intensely in the moment.
You can read the full review here.
