Happy New Year, puny humans! 
Wow, is it really 2016 already? I feel like I hit a time warp between Halloween and January. I apologize for not posting anything for the last two months--the holidays and sassy new deadlines kept me busier than expected!
Big things are coming, though! I finally bought a Cintiq tablet and some new animation software, so I'm going to be playing around with those soon, and posting lots of silly sketches, practice paintings and test animations! Lots of new techniques I'm looking forward to learning over the coming year, and I hope to apply them to some fun new projects down the road!
And I apologize for all the delays with my publisher, but issue 6 of The Revival is finally out! houndcomics.com/the_revival_co… Still plugging away on issue 7, and it should be ready early this spring. I was also fortunate enough to have some of my work featured in the book Dieselpunk: Retro Futures of the All-American Art Deco Years It showcases the work of many Dieselpunk artists (many of whom are active on dA) and gives some insight into the style and its culture! Special thanks to
for letting me be a part of it! 
That's it for now, but there's more to come! Thanks again to everybody faving and watching--I'll have more for you soon!
Over and out,
TOM

Revival Updates!
Hello, Earthlings! Just wanted to share that I've finally set up an updates page on the site for my comic, The Revival! This long overdue section will keep everybody up-to-date on the progress of the current chapters, give info on my convention schedule, maybe share some sketches and behind-the-scenes art, stuff like that! I've been way behind on posting the comic this last year, and my con schedule has been all over the place since the pandemic, so I wanted a consistent place for readers to get the info they need! Sorry again that the comic is taking so long--chapter 17 should be up soon, and 18 won't be too far behind. Till then, keep your puny human bodies warm in the winter cold! Robots don't have to worry about that stuff--just dead batteries. ;p TOM
Creepazoid Schedule
Howdy do! So, things are getting busy again, and I have some out-of-state travel coming up this fall for conventions, so I'm afraid I won't be posting a new Creepazoid set for September. In fact, I may need to switch to a month-and-a-half to every two months schedule. It's getting too hard to keep up with monthly sets, and I don't want to rush them or let the pressure of consistent posting suck the fun out of it. The more fun I'm having, the better the sets turn out! Fun is the secret ingredient. ;p I hope this isn't disappointing! ^^; As always, huge thanks to everybody who's enjoying them! And this means the next set will be the Halloween set, and I'm already having a blast on it! Stay tuned!
Venom Pinball Machine!
Hey, guys! I work for Stern Pinball as an animator, and they just dropped the story trailer for the new game we've been working on: VENOM!!! I storyboarded most of what you see here, and did all the animation after the 20 second mark (with fellow animators Marc and Danai). My brother (who's a programmer at Stern) cut most of the trailer together, and did the narration voiceover. :D If you're going to Comic-Con this week, Stern will have machines there to play!
Creepazoids 2022!
So... hopefully this doesn't make me sound like a self-obsessed jank-bag, but if it does, feel free to tell me so. :XD: Since it's the end of the year, I was looking over all the Creepazoid sets from 2022, series 51-59! It got me to thinking which ones were my favorites, so I thought it might be fun to list them here, and to see if you guys wanted to add yours, too! I narrowed it down to three per category, because it's too hard to choose just one. ;p Favorite Set: -Dust Bowl (series 51) -The Noir Zone (series 53) -Mutation Fixation (series 55) Favorite New Character: -Mr. Bones -Flower Power -Britva Favorite Returning Character: -Black Cat (version 3) -Jackie Lantern (version 2) -Humboldt (version 2) And that's that! Feel free to share your picks, if you have them. And big thanks to everybody for all the support over the years! Seriously, I can't tell you how much it means to me. ^____^ Plenty more to come! In fact, be on the lookout for a new set soon...

So glad to know your gears are still turning, Tom. Life leads us down super busy paths. Sorry I have not been more in touch over the past year. Other than what I post online, too many interesting, exciting, and rough things have happened last year to fully keep up with people. Hopefully we can catch up this year some time. Congrats on the Cintque by the way. Those things are fantastic.
