Thanks to Jen Greeley and Dustin Valkema for helping me recreate this Hawkeye season one poster. I love how it turned out!

I did a lot of art-ing in 2024. Byron Rec Comic Con, Comic Signal events, MuskeCon, Tulip City Comics and Toy Fare, Lansing Lugnuts book event, Reading Rocks in Rockford, Capital City Comic Con, Cherry Capital Comic Con, I was the badge artist at the Grand Rapids Comic Con, I promoted the Stealing Scenes: Action! card game that I illustrated, Tons of commissions and projects for the League of Enchantment as well. (I know I am forgetting some stuff... it was a busy year)
In 2025 I will be branching out and doing some shows I've never done before, like the Hall of Heroes and others. More news to come. Plus I already have some amazing things that will be published that I can't discuss yet. You're never too old and it is never too late to start. Set goals. Smash them. Repeat.

Hi. Bugs in Space and I will be guests at the Byron Rec Comic Con on Saturday, February the 1st from 10am to 3pm. This Comic Con is the first of the 2025 season for us. We will have new prints and stickers available and will be taking commissions. If you're new to comic cons this is a nice cozy con that is not nearly as overwhelming or hectic as the larger cons in Detroit and Chicago etc. It's a lot of fun for beginners and for grizzled Con veterans alike. We look forward to seeing you there.

Agent Nibbles here to remind you... Your mental health is important. It's extremely important. If you are anxious. If you are depressed. If you can't decompress. If you're overwhelmed. If you need to talk to someone, ask for help. Find the resources. Asking for help is not a sign of weakness, it's a sign of wisdom. Value yourself as much as you value those you love. You deserve the same care you give others.

Be recklessly courageous about your mental health.

I see a Dr. almost monthly and a therapist weekly. I am not ashamed of getting help for my issues and symptoms. I'm strong. I've been through a lot. I've had to deal with things that I would not wish on others. And it all left some kind of wound. I'm healing now and I can't do it alone.

If you need help... find help. Nibbles and I are rooting for you.

For all of my friends who are going through "Con Crunch" right now... I feel you. Remember to stay hydrated and don't stay up too late. I hope to see you at Cap City Comic Con this weekend.

Why are we Lansing's premiere comic convention? At our 2022 event, we filled the Lansing Center in Downtown Lansing Michigan with over 200 exhibitor booths, filled with special guests, artists, vendors, publishers, cosplayers, charities, and more. We painstakingly curate our exhibitor hall to ensure...

Hey folks, there has been a time change to my Cosplay and mental health panel. It's still in panel room 1 and it's still on Saturday the 13th but it is an hour later than the previous slot. 11:30am instead of 10:30. So I hope to see you at 11:30am on Saturday. I'll be the guy in the kilt ... likely with a coffee in my hand.

Just an FYI. I was signed up to be in Artist Alley at Kogan Con tomorrow but unfortunately will not be able to attend. I will be at Capital City Comic Con from July 12 to 14 with 6 new prints. I hope to see you there.

Hi. I hope to see you all at Capital City Comic Con Next weekend. July 12-14.

Hi there. I hope to see you all at the Capital City Comic Con from July 12-14. I will be a guest on several panels this year, my first being "Cosplay, Characters, and Mental Health" in Panel Room 1, Saturday morning, 10:30am. Karla, Katie and I will discuss how Fandoms, Cosplay and Mental Health go together hand in hand. Hear our stories, tell us your own... be part of the family.

This Thursday June 27 at the The Comic Signal we will be having a game demo event for the card game I illustrated "STEALING SCENES: ACTION!" The game is now available for sale. The event starts at 5:30pm. I will be conducting game demos, signing boxes, and giving away free posters to anyone who participates in a demo. The premise of the game is you're an extra, walk-on actor, or stunt person and you're trying to steal the scenes you're in, get the directors attention and get bigger roles.

I hope to see you there, if you can't make it... please visit www.oneleggedgm.com for online sales. If you have any questions feel free to reach out.

Thank you for your support.
