Why subscribe?

You will get regular posts full of detailed descriptions of constraints you can use to make comics or pretty much any other kind of art. I’ll share examples from my own work, from sketches and diagrams to final art, and explain my own process for using constraints (which is far from the only way to do it). And I’ll share examples and precedents from other artists, plus I’ll share recommendations for work that has been inspiring me lately.
