I made another new book! This one is an art zine of cryptids & mythical creatures, and you can grab it as a pay-what-you-want PDF here: https://gumroad.com/l/pVfxM
(Please note: there are more than 17 pages - they’re facing pages, because some are double-page spreads. There are 24 illustrations in total)

$5 supporters on Patreon also have access to this book (the Patreon, once again, is here: https://www.patreon.com/cuckoosnestpress )

Been working on this on and off for months and it feels good to finally have it finished. :) Hope you enjoy!

I also spruced up my intro page on Patreon to give folks a better idea of what I offer each month - please do have a look, and consider signing up to help me keep the lights on! Includes links to public posts as examples of sorts :)

I’ve been working on a brand new comic story over on Patreon - it’s not Last Band #2 but a standalone thing about two public domain superheroes, Stardust the Super Wizard and Fantomah, Mystery Woman of the Jungle. They’re absolutely batshit, this article provides a pretty good run-down of the stories they appeared in.

Hey, I’m also full-time freelance again! At least for now. Please consider joining as a supporter to help me keep the lights on! Or if you just want to commission some art, please get in touch, either on here or via email, len DOT will AT gmail DOT com.

Just ordered your new comic book. Look Straight Ahead helped me get through my last semester of college, so I hope my buy helps to repay that a little. :)

Thank you so much!! :) Hope you enjoy!

Hey everyone, just a reminder that my new book, The Last Band On Earth #1, is now available as a pay-what-you-want PDF on Gumroad. It’s about a fledgling noise rock band trapped in a semi-post-apocalyptic city run by demons. I’m calling it a “spiritual sequel” to Look Straight Ahead.
Convention season, obviously, was a no-go this year (this was to be my TCAF debut book), so hopefully you’ll consider buying a copy to help make up some of the sales I might have made on the con circuit. :) Heartfelt thanks to everyone who’s bought a copy so far, I’m actually quite overwhelmed by the response this has gotten!
I have print copies as well if you prefer those, but there’s no link to buy those just yet - you can absolutely message me if you want one though.
This is page 2. I’ll post some more art from the book in the coming weeks.
You can also support me on Patreon if you like (I am cooking up some really cool new stuff right now, and you can get an exclusive behind-the-scenes look at all of said stuff as I complete it by joining). Updates every Tuesday and Friday.
Thanks, and I hope you’re all staying safe & well. <3

Hey everyone! This weekend would have been TCAF weekend, and I would have debuted The Last Band On Earth #1 there. It’s now available as a pay-what-you-want PDF on Gumroad here.
It’s about a fledgling noise rock band trapped in a semi-post-apocalyptic city run by demons, and shares a few elements with Look Straight Ahead, so if you liked that you’ll probably like this.
Hope you’ll consider kicking some $$$ my way. :) I worked really hard on it and it’s a huge bummer not to be able to sell it anywhere. We’re all in the same boat, though, of course! Hoping we all get to hang out and have fun at TCAF next year.

Hey, not bad engagement for last night’s post, maybe this is still a viable platform for posting art after all. You can follow me on Twitter, @ElaineMWill if you haven’t already, I’m much more active on there (I’m on Instagram as well, elaine.m.will, but I don’t update that nearly as often, I find it cumbersome).

Anyway, if you didn’t see last night’s post, I have a brand new book out on Gumroad, The Last Band On Earth #1: https://gumroad.com/l/uolFJ
It’s about a fledgling noise rock band trapped in a semi-post-apocalyptic city run by demons. Kind of a spiritual sequel to Look Straight Ahead. Kinda.
This is a splash page from the interior of the book.
It’s pay-what-you-want, for a minimum of $0.99.

Lastly, you can also support me on Patreon here: https://www.patreon.com/cuckoosnestpress See my new comics as I complete them! I update every Tuesday and Thursday with a wide variety of stuff, including new illustrations, material from my archives, progress sketches, and how-to/timelapse videos. I’ve just finished writing another short, self-contained comic separate and apart from Last Band, so that’ll be the next thing I start drawing. I’m really excited about it and I think folks are gonna dig it.
Hope you consider tossing some $$$ my way. Thanks for looking. :)

I’m not dead, I just don’t post here any more, because I assumed everyone was gone…prove me wrong by liking or reblogging this? ;p

Anyway, just wanted to let you know about my new comic, The Last Band On Earth #1! It was meant to debut at TCAF this May, but of course, due to the global pandemic, that’s been cancelled.
It’s now available as a pay-what-you-can PDF from my Gumroad store: https://gumroad.com/l/uolFJ

It’s about a fledgling noise rock band trapped in a semi-post-apocalyptic city run by demons. (I call it a “spiritual sequel” to Look Straight Ahead. Kinda.)

Hey, did you know you can also support me on Patreon? https://www.patreon.com/cuckoosnestpress

In addition to Last Band, I’m cooking up some other REALLY cool stuff to put up there. I update every Tuesday and Thursday and promise to make it worth your while.

That’s all for today, maybe I’ll start posting here again?

Inktober day 29 - a little zombie fella.
