NEW SITE!

June 21, 2023

Just in time for SHELDON’s 25th anniversary online, we have a beautiful new site! And there are a bunch of fun new features (see below)!

TWO HUGE THANK YOU’s!

The delightful design is all the handiwork of Beth Reidmiller. She brought this whole look to life. The mobile version is fun, but if you really want to see how much her design shines…check out the desktop version! It came out great!
And all the wonderful coding that makes the site shine are thanks to the Toocheke system, developed by Leetoo. He has been an absolute pleasure to work with on the new DRIVE and SHELDON sites, and I can’t thank him enough for all the work he put into it!

SALE ON ORIGINAL ART!
To help kick the tires of the new site, I’ve put all original art up for sale. From now until Saturday, original art is just $99! (That’s $71-off!) Just navigate to your favorite comic, and click “Buy Today’s Original Art” underneath it. BAM: Instant savings! 🙂

NEW FEATURES!
Webcomics like mine used to run on advertising. But that business model has completely fallen apart. So! To keep the lights on, the new Sheldon site will run on a much healthier system of fan support: Patreon.com/sheldoncomics. When you join us, check out all the stuff you’ll get:

Weekly original art giveaways via Patreon!
New “themed” collections, where you can read just by your interest in pugs, coffee, pop culture, literature, *my* favorites, and more!
All 5,000 comics in the Sheldon archives!
Behind-the-scenes and sneak peeks!
And you’ll get pal-time forums!
Join us, pals! It’s super worth it!

It’s not active yet, but! I mention it only so that this note gets archived in the OLD feed, so you know where to go! 🙂

Get this Original Art! “Naps with Thee in a Shady Tree

Pals! I’ve just put this original art up on eBay starting at just one penny! It’s called “Naps with Thee in a Shady Tree”.

It’s drawn on blue-gray, 11×9″ cardstock using archival inks, grey washes, and a splash of white on Sheldon’s glasses. You’ll have Arthur, Sheldon and Oso the pug snoozing away on your walls, keepin’ you company. 🙂

Friends!

As you may remember from Monday’s blog post… my wonderful colorist and studio assistant, Beth Reidmiller will be out for a 6-month maternity leave until October. It’s very exciting!  

And while she’s out, we have four all-star artists stepping in to color Sheldon. I’ve already introduced you to Cat Farris and Ripley LaCross. Today, I’d like you to meet CAITLIN LIKE — who colored the Irish Goodbye!

In addition to being super talented, Caitlin has a fantastic book coming out this Halloween! It’s a middle grade graphic novel through Dark Horse Comics about a haunted music school.

It’s called The Hundredth Voice and more info is here: https://www.darkhorse.com/Blog/3713/its-time-break-curse-hundredth-voice (Pre-order yours here, or through your favorite store!)

Pals!

Ripley LaCross (he/they) is a Pacific Northwest-based artist and illustrator frequently found galivanting in the Cascade Mountains. When they’re not picking leaves out of their hair, Ripley enjoys playing fantasy tabletop roleplaying games and illustrating the shenanigans that unfold.

Ripley has a SUPER DANG DELIGHTFUL art style that you should go check out right because it is, as promised, SUPER DANG DELIGHTFUL —> https://ripleylacross.carrd.co/

Meet Cat Farris!

April 17, 2023

Friends!

My wonderful colorist and studio assistant, Beth Reidmiller will be out for a 6-month maternity leave until October. And as much as I’ll miss her in the day-to-day of the studio, oh my gosh I’m so excited for her!

And while she’s out, we’ll have four all-star artists stepping in to color Sheldon. First up, my pal Cat Farris!

Many of you will already know Cat from her delightful TALES OF THE DRIVE short story on Drive. But she’s also the artist of MY BOYFRIEND IS A BEAR (which is adorable) and THE GHOUL NEXT DOOR (which is also adorable).

You can follow Cat on Twitter, and tell her how awesome she is, after you check out her amazing work on Cattifer.com!
