I’ve spent the past few days getting all of the development work on ComicPress and ComicPress Manager up on GitHub. This also includes setting up automated documentation generation and regular Zip builds of the contents of the repositories. Check out the project pages and wiki pages, and if you want to help out, drop me [...]
Since the code I was writing could be used with any PHP unit testing framework, and since “WordPress PHPUnit Mocks” doesn’t roll off the tongue like “MockPress” does, and because no one else is using the name for anything, my project for creating mock functions for simulating WordPress is now named MockPress. I’ve been slowly [...]
My WordPress Webcomics plugin, ComicPress Manager, just reached version 1.3.3. There have been a large number of bug fixes, UI improvements, and upgrades for WordPress 2.7. If you’re in to the Webcomic thing, and are already using ComicPress, give it a shot. And while you’re on wordpress.org, bookmark the plugin page on Delicious or [...]
I did a guest strip for The Dada Detective, entirely in Inkscape and The GIMP (surprise!) Plus, they have some kind words for ComicPress Manager. But don’t read just my guest strip while you’re there — read their whole archive. It’s a very cool comic.

It was quite and adventure trying to wrestle out a high-class plugin from the sometimes-awkward WordPress API and the quite-awkward syntax & behaviors of PHP (how about glob(), on some [...]
And it’s complete! My contribution to the “National Darkroast Day” trading cards is finished in all its vector goodness. This drawing really pushed my computer to its limits. It really started to choke towards the end, but the result is definitely worth it, IMHO.
And now, it’s back to drawing pages for A Moment of [...]
I think I might have briefly mentioned this on the A Moment of Clarity website — I’m currently working on an illustration for a trading card for the book “National Darkroast Day” by my friend August Adams. He’s got several DC Conspiracy members working on the illustrations, and I get stuck with the one that [...]
Not since LGM2 have I put a video up on YouTube — I was just waiting for a good one to post, that’s all, and here it is!
Myself, Rafer Roberts, and Rebecca Simms (and Evan Keeling, but I left before he arrived) were all at Beyond Comics in Frederick for Free Comic Book Day. [...]
