I'm officially changing my art handle to Fowlfish. After taking a long break from online updates, I'll be posting art more often. Follow me here!

A little explanation: I first got attached to the name Tickentock a long time ago. I set up my art account and went "oh, there's a social media platform with a similar name. I've seen so many platforms come and go, I'm sure in a couple years no one will even remember Tiktok!"

So much for that! It's a bit better for an artist if their name *doesn't* sound like a huge popular brand name.

But since plenty of people have seen and enjoyed my art here, I'll keep this Tickentock page up. I'll just be doing all new stuff on the Fowlfish page. Big thanks to everyone who's enjoyed my work so far! It always brightens my day.

So why Fowlfish? I spend a lot of time outdoors, and watching birds as well as fish is one of my favorite meditative pastimes. When I need a sense of peace and harmony, the fowl and the fish are the perfect choice. And that's an inspiration I'm glad to carry onward!

I've been doing a lot of healing over this past year, and I'm ready for new momentum. The new art handle is a big step in that!

So I'll be seeing you more in future, over on the Fowlfish page!

Peace!

It's been a hard winter for me. Got Covid and had a slow recovery, and I had to take a break from updates while I was in bad shape. But by now, I'm starting to feel more like myself and get back in gear.

Things are going gradually, and my site updates are still far from regular... But I'm getting there.

Best wishes to all of you. Stay safe this season!

Castle Obrio is taking a little break. I'm still posting art to keep the ball rolling. Work stuff has been cutting into my time, the way it often does. But the comic is still progressing, and the story will resume! More info soon as the schedule becomes clearer.

Just a quick update to let you know things are still moving forward. You can check out the story thus far at castleobrio.com. I hope to have weekly updates running again soon! For now, I'll keep on adding some art in the meantime.

Castle Obrio has returned from its holiday break! The comic will continue to have updates every monday. Check it out here!

This is a really satisfying project for me, and I'm excited about some of the upcoming pages that are in the works.

The previous comic gave us a little taste of Landon and the fortress. We'll be seeing a lot more of them in this chapter, and I'm really enjoying the eerie atmosphere in those scenes--especially as a contrast with the offbeat jollity of Bristol & pals.

This comic is gonna explore a lot of different moods.

So happy 2022 everybody, and enjoy the story!

I'm very happy with how Castle Obrio's weekly webcomic updates have gone the past couple months.

I'll be taking a break for the holidays. But after New Year's, the story will continue!

You can check out the comic so far here at castleobrio.com! Working on this has been so satisfying.

I'll see you all after the holidays... Unless I post some more art here before the year is up!

For Halloween, Castle Obrio has returned! Chapter 1 begins today and will continue with regular updates every week.

Enjoy the story! I know I'm looking forward to unfolding the tale.

The past couple weeks, a lot of things have come together: work, a new place to move, and hitting a stride in my art projects.

The biggie is that, this Halloween, Castle Obrio will return with regular updates.

A year ago I started Obrio. After an injury and a year of challenges, things are in order to put this comic back on the air. This comic means a lot to me, so I'm glad I can bring the story to fruition. Look forward to it!

In my last update, I mentioned my neck & shoulder injury that took a lot of my usual activities off the table--especially my artwork.

But at long last, I can say that I'm feeling like my old self again!

It took a while, but I was very serious about taking care of myself and getting better. Finally it's paid off, and I'm so glad that the healing process is behind me.

I'm super-excited to be creating the material I had to put off for these past months. Over the past few days, I've inked some new pages for the comic, and I enjoyed coloring a new piece for this gallery. It feels so refreshing to return to the work that I love.

Expect a lot more updates in future!

Have a great weekend, everybody.

In January, I got onto a terrific pace, and I was really hoping to get the next chapter of Castle Obrio started this month.

But an arm & shoulder injury has thrown a spanner into everything these past 3 weeks. I hate putting my artwork on hold, but you can't rush the healing process.

It'll still be a while yet, but I haven't cancelled any of my plans. Definitely looking forward to when I've recuperated enough to hit the drawing board some more!

A health issue might slow me down, but there's no way I'm letting it stop my creative work.

Peace be with you all.

October is here, and so is a new Castle Obrio comic! See it here: https://castleobrio.com/comic/prologue-15/

This comic marks the end of the Prologue. Working on the prologue has been an off-and-on project for me, but as we head into the main story, I'll be taking this commitment more seriously. As soon as I create a big enough backlog of pages, I'll start releasing Castle Obrio comics once a week!

Making the prologue has been a big learning experience, and I'm excited to give the main chapters all the momentum they deserve.

I'll keep posting updates here as I prepare the upcoming pages. Until next time, stay lovely!
