There are new shirt designs up in the store! And if that wasn’t enough, save on shipping with the ‘FREE2LOVE’ sale! Valid until May 5th which is pretty close, so make this your top priority and worry about your job/family/pet(s) later.
Specifically the shipping sale means free shipping with 2 or more items (and heavily discounted shipping for international orders).
My favourite art convention is here again for the second time!
Chromacon is this weekend in Aotea Centre in Auckland City (New Zealand (though if you needed to know which country this probably won’t apply to you)) and it’s FREE to enter!
So come and stop by my table! To make it an even sweeter deal, Extra Ordinary Comics has a table next to mine! I’ve included our spots on this map below.
Loading Artist is now my full time job!
I’m currently writing this post whilst sitting in a café..! JUST LIKE I’VE ALWAYS FANTASIZED ABOUT DOING!
The fantastic support you’re showing me by being patrons is what’s turned the idea of going full-time from being something I daydreamed about at work, to being my parents waking nightmare: quitting my financially stable day job to dive headfirst into the chaotic world of webcomics.
Like a hot bath, it’s taking me a little time to get into it. I’m trying to figure out a routine (via daily schedules and prioritizing) so that I don’t succumb to Internet Time. My current goals are sticking to a consistent weekly comic schedule (UH OH TOMORROW ALREADY, WHAT), more standalone pictures, more blog posts, and preparing for Chromacon!
I’ve made a new wallpaper and Facebook cover to kick things off!
Thanks again! I love you guyz!
It’s time for some fan art of my favourite show!
I’m not usually a ‘fan art creating’ type of guy (I think the last time I created fan art was back when I planned on becoming a professional ‘Garfield’er), but Adventure Time has a special place in my heart and I felt like giving something back for all the things it’s given me.

I’ll be posting comics again starting this Thursday, just FYI. Hope you’re having a good 2015 so far!

I thought it might be interesting to look back and see which Loading Artist comics were viewed the most this year, and then try to give a couple reasons as to why that may be.
Bear in mind these stats do not include any views on reposted versions like on Imgur or on other Facebook pages, etc.
Doing this from 5th to 1st to build that SUSPENSE…!
While I think this one is good enough to gather a lot of views on it’s own merits, I think it being the first ‘gag-a-day’ Loading Artist comic with the new website layout prompted more shares.
Also, I think that’s the best looking girl character I’ve drawn (not that it has anything to do with it (or does it..)).
I think the gag at the beginning is what makes this comic what it is. Also it’s about Bitcoin and that was a hot topic around that time.
FUN FACT: I have an actual ‘Donate Bitcoins’ button beneath that comic.
I’m really happy with the pacing in this one. I feel the overlapping speech bubbles at the end add a lot to the timing.
Also there is a cat.
This is one of my favourite comics I’ve drawn. I’d chalk it up to the combination of colourful visuals (though not too detailed) and length (though not too wordy) with the morbid twist.
‘Born Ready’ was interesting to me because it sparked a lot of ‘I don’t get it’ responses (compared to other ones), and yet it was also many people’s favourite comic in a while.
However I think the reason it is the #1 viewed Loading Artist comic this year is mainly because it was the comic that was up while I disappeared to America for two months.
So there you have it. I hope this was somewhat interesting for you, so it doesn’t just seem like I’m rambling about the greatness of my comics and what makes them so great.
I have one more blog post planned before the end of the year which goes over what happened with Loading Artist in 2014. Thanks for reading!
