BATBOY CAPTION CONTEST!
It’s official: I’ve run out of ideas!
That’s why I’m happy to announce the first ever (and possibly last) BATBOY CAPTION CONTEST!
TO ENTER: Come up with an amazing caption and/or some hilarious dialogue for Batboy or his squirrel-friend Merle, POST IT AS A COMMENT and then TAG A FRIEND who you think might appreciate your bizarre sense of humor.
The winner and their friend will each receive a signed copy of my latest book: BATBOY AND THE ART OF SELF-SABOTAGE
The contest will run for one week (starting…now) on Instagram, Twitter and this blog, after which a panel of funny judges will decide which is the most side-splitting, knee-slappingest entry of them all.
By entering the contest, you agree to have your winning caption published on social media and in a future printed Batboy collection (with credit given to you, of course, as the wittiest wordsmith in all the land.)
Good luck. Now get to writing!
Batboy Gets Real
Experimenting with a little mashup of photography and illustration. It’s a fun way to get out of my cozy little rut. Now I need to keep my eyes peeled for more photo ops!
Thursday Motivation
In an attempt to expand my design portfolio with images that are less macabre, this happened.
And We Shall Never Speak Of This Again
Cheesy Infomercials & Some New Art
So I needed to make a book trailer for my latest release Batboy & the Art of Self-Sabotage.
I decided on a cheesy approach in the style of all those goofy infomercials I grew up watching in the 80s and 90s.
Long story short, I had way too much fun making this parody infomercial. I hope it makes you guys laugh and you’ll consider checking out my book on Amazon.
In between my video editing and the continuing adventures of Batboy, I’ve tried keeping the creativity flowing with some quick pencil sketches on my Wacom Tablet. Above is some sort of woodland horror and below is some kind of friendly aquatic monstrosity.
Well, that’s all I’ve got for you at the moment, you can follow along with new Batboy comics every week on Instagram and Twitter.
And remember, don’t let those pesky vegetables bring you down!
Batboy and the Art of Self-Sabotage (A Book)
I’m excited to announce that I’ve published my second book!
Available now on Amazon! Click Here!
This is a collection of the first fifty installments of the Batboy comic, which were originally published on social media from February to December 2021. You can see a previous post about Batboy here.
Batboy is my anxious alter ego and a vehicle for some of my random ridiculous thoughts.
I’m super excited to see Batboy in print, the full-color illustrations boldly leap off the page, even though Batboy himself is far from bold. You can see a small selection of Batboy for free on Instagram and Twitter. But if you want to make Batboy your own, please check him out on Amazon.

Ain’t that always the way?
We all know people like that, or we’ve done it ourselves. Make sure to check in with your friends and family just for the heck of it. It’s as simple as a text (although a phone call is good too.) Ask them how they’re doing.
BS with them a little bit.
They will appreciate it. And you’ll feel better too.
This is my message to you, internet. Now excuse me, I have some calls to make…
Why Aren’t You Drawing RN?
In an effort to show that I’m still alive and kicking (well maybe not kicking so much) I want to share a new introductory video from my YouTube channel.
It’s a short, somewhat motivational video intended to inspire the viewer through shame.
“What, are you watching too many YouTube videos?”
It’s my first attempt at a video other than a speed drawing, it’s a bit experimental, I hope you enjoy!
