Filmmaker Life and Brooklyn Comic Con

It really is incredible and I am grateful for the opportunity for myself and my blue screwball to get recognition like this.

Patrons Only Peek: Back To The Blue-gining…

First off, I just want to say thank you to the patrons who have stuck with the Bluehilda webcomic for the past three years, and I am very grateful for it. Aside from the unrealistic expectations I put on myself in writing and drawing this comic on my own, I realized after three years that Bluehilda chapter 01 had a very weak beginning.
