Knife Foxes
The Knife Foxes are Nad Greentail’s pirate crew of miscreants. Many are deserters, drifters, and drudges from seedy corners of the world seeking easy fortune.
When not arguing with their self-appointed Tanuki Captain, they bumble around, hoping to catch victims unaware with their knives.
In this blog post, I talk about the long process drawing these knife fox bandits from paper to digital screen!

It’s incredible that it’s already summer and halfway thorough the year! I’m keeping my nose to the grindstone, working on Blackmask, and popping up at small conventions to keep my art out there.
Let me give you a scoop on what I’ve been doing for the past few months and what the future brings for the next few months!

Over the past few months I’ve been keeping myself busy with special art tasks. Convention appearances have been light, but I still go out to them show off my artwork. Let me give you a scoop on what I’ve been doing for the past few months and what the future brings for the next few months!
Comicopolis 2024
Later into the summer on July 20th, I’m returning to Lockport, IL for Comicopolis!

During my time learning Gouache, I tried to make it fun for myself and paint a series of goblins with huge asses. I made a step further to expanding my art skills and work with a media I’ve always been curious about.

Continue readingFour New Social Media Accounts I post to as an Artist.
In wake of dumb bullshit happening on multiple social media sites, I again hear of newer ones that claim to be better and artist friendly. Promoting on social media doesn’t make a difference my sales online or offline at cons and art shows. Most of this hoop jumpin to social media accounts remind me that I’m being desperate. If I’m a nobody on my current pages, what makes me think I wouldn’t be a nobody on a new page?
Continue readingArt Stream Clips for your Amusement
My Wednesday Night Art Streams on Twitch are morphing into weekly “podcasts”. Every week at 7pm, I draw and yammer about how my life’s been going for anyone interested. It’s chill block of working time where I get art done and share music I find on Bandcamp.
If you miss out on my Wednesday Art streams, you can follow my stream archive YouTube channel to watch or listen as you work. The full streams edited so the breaks and audio problems are reduced too.
Continue readingConventions of Winter
Over the past few months, I’ve been doing a small amount of conventions since it’s only the beginning of the year. It’s been rougher than I wanted because I’ve been more unorganized compared to my previous years.

I’ve outgrown my old Etsy store, so I’ll be sun-setting that store, as I add more of my convention items to my home base. For now, let me show you my newest set of stickers!

The winter convention roll went well, with February packed with plenty of shows! Some shows are tapering off due to rejections from larger ones I’ve applied to.
But, I do my best with what I have, and I’m meeting up with fans who’ve seen me around the block enough times to know my name! Spring Conventions are rolling out, so here’s the shows and events I’ll be tabling at for the coming months!!
