August 10, 2026 hEY everybody. I am taking a BIT OF A BREAK after this week’s update, which ends a sort of train of thought I was anxious to get through. 3rd Voice resumes in a couple weeks; not sure how long yet. THANK you for your patience. I am struggling to keep up with this and keep writing it at appropriate rate!!

SPX in the DC area is coming up! Also I am going to be tabling at MICE in December in Boston!!! I am working on getting a couple of new prints and things together for these shows but the main thing of course is the book isn’t it.

reading x-men age of apocalypse lately it is sick

You can email me something at 3rdvoicemail@gmail.com and I will maybe get to it here.

I’ve been eagerly anticipating your "next page" on Rice dash Boy dot com since midway through Rice Boy, and it’s hard to believe it’s been two decades since it started. The art and storytelling have been consistently captivating, and I’m particularly impressed by your ability to present a rich and compelling narrative while still maintaining a deep sense of mystery.

Perhaps you’ve already touched on this in other 20th-anniversary commemorations, but in what ways would you say your approach and output have changed or evolved in that time, and are there aspects that you feel have been relatively consistent? -ReverendTed * June 12, 2026

Hello thank you! The main thing I am thinking about lately is my approach to planning and serialization… like I started Rice Boy with a kind of template, and rambled around dropping ideas out there and hoping that I could make it connect eventually… in Order of Tales and early Vattu, I was very much reacting against this approach by anxiously trying to map everything out more rigorously in advance… but then over the course of Vattu I started to see the value in giving myself space to improvise within a loose structure, SO 3rd Voice is built from the start on that premise, sort of. There is a way in which it’s just an attempt to do what I did with Rice Boy in a smarter way. The basics of writing out scenes and drawing and coloring are basically the same, though. My little coloring hacks I came up with around the start of Rice Boy are the premises of my entire understanding of digital coloring ever since honestly!!!
