They’re here! My fourth tiki mug recently arrived in great quantity!

For people eagerly awaiting the pre-sale… I never did it! I was so worried that the mugs would be delayed like they were last time that I never set it up. So this time, no Kickstarter, no pre-sale, no wait!

Well, a slight wait! I put these directly on Etsy with a shipping date of (roughly) July 1 to make sure all my fun extra materials are prepared and good to go!

The cost will be $50, or $65 including shipping (Etsy encourages makers to fold shipping costs into the sale price and then offer “free” shipping).

LOCAL MAINE PEOPLE! I can’t drive all over the countryside doing deliveries anymore, but if you would like to order a mug directly from me and then pick it up, let’s chat! You’ll save $15 in shipping costs and I’ll save $10 in Etsy and packing fees!

Here we goooo!

Since I’m thinking about outer space (and cleaning pictures off my phone), here’s another rejected album cover I drew last year.

It’s big! I’ll try to remember to post some details of it sometime!

For my brother’s 50th birthday, the kids wanted to draw Uncle Josh a Star Wars card. We settled on 50 characters for 50 years. They researched, I drew, we all colored!

And some close-ups! If I have to spend hours zoomed in this, you should at least see it, too!

Thanks for lookin’!

WARNING! I made this for Instagram, so it looks weird here! I’ll share closeups!

I’m not sure I ever shared this, but here’s the unused cover I created in 2023 for Polkadot Cadaver’s fifth album, eventually titled “Echoes Across the Hellscape”. Actually, a change in album title was the eventual thing that did this design in. This was created when the album was called “Shapeshifting Reptilian Overlords”.

Here’s my tribute to corny old sci-fi posters and big wraparound vinyl art.

Throwback! In 2014 I challenged myself to draw a tiki everyday under the prompt .

Some were great, some were garbage. This one became the idea behind a tiki mug I’m releasing 12 years later.

I SO love making stuff for fun and then sitting back and seeing what could come from it! When the fun comes first, the ideas are easy.

Getting some 2026 ideas going…

Awesome care package from my friends at . What a fun surprise on a snowy Christmas Eve!

They’re producing my fourth mug as we speak. We were shooting for a 2025 release, but the scope has grown - more colors, more mugs, more MORE.

This is one of the things I’m most excited about for 2026! Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!

Just hanging out with my wife, the 2026 Maine State Teacher of the Year.

We’re so grateful for this big emotional day we’re having.

I love you, Julia. Your dedication may be unmatched, but it’s not unappreciated.
