ART to the FACE! Issue 30 June 2026
This Is What Happens When You Give a Comic Artist Too Much Free Time
Twenty pages of monsters, comic-book chaos, unfinished ideas, finished damage, and the kind of artwork that happens when summer gives me too much time to think.
The newest issue of ART TO THE FACE is finished, loaded, and ready to invade your device.
This is Issue #30, which means I have somehow made thirty of these things without being stopped by the authorities, common sense, or the rising cost of ink.
Inside, you get twenty pages of drawings, comic art, sketchbook experiments, cover work, character designs, old ideas dragged back into the light, and new ideas that probably should have stayed buried. It is part art book, part sketchbook, part studio archive, and part evidence that I have never learned how to work on only one project at a time.
This month’s issue includes everything from a full-color fantasy massacre on the cover to monsters, armored women, robots, zombies, sketchbook notes, rough concepts, finished commissions, and pages that show how the sausage gets made—assuming the sausage was made out of brush pens, bad decisions, and too much caffeine.
You will find work connected to Zombie Years, fantasy and horror pieces, comic-cover art, painted character studies, original designs, and behind-the-scenes pages full of names, maps, notes, and half-formed universes trying to kick their way out of my skull. There are polished pieces, loose drawings, experiments, and the occasional visual accident that turned out better than the original plan.
That is the point of ART TO THE FACE.
It is not a fancy corporate art magazine designed by a committee. It is direct access to the workbench. It is the stuff I am drawing, developing, revisiting, testing, and occasionally wrestling to the ground.
And subscribers get to download the whole thing.
When you join the FWACATA Substack, you are not just helping me post more often. You are helping fund the actual making of comics, original art, zines, stories, podcasts, livestreams, and all the weird projects currently fighting for space on my desk.
You get comics, artwork, process posts, sketchbook material, downloadable zines, livestreams, and access to the growing FWACATA archive. You get to see the work before it disappears into a box, becomes part of another project, or gets sold to somebody with better wall space than you.
Most importantly, your support gives me more time to do the work instead of spending it trying to convince an algorithm that I exist.
So join up, download ART TO THE FACE #30, flip through the madness, and see what has been happening behind the scenes.
Twenty pages. Thirty issues. No filler. No corporate polish.
Just art.
Straight to the face.
