Hi all! First of all, I would like to thank you all for sticking around with me over the years. It’s been a long road, but I’m making art again and actually creating. I’m in a good space mentally, creatively, and with my family, and am almost to a point where my daughter is at school all day during the week and I’ll have dedicated time to sit down and work on art. I’m still squeezing in time here and there where I can and doing Philo on Saturdays. Producing when I can.
Philo!
Philo has been streaming live weekly on Saturdays. I think I’ve missed two episodes since I started the show in January. We’ve had an amazing cast of guest artists on the show, Robin Fisher has been amazing, and it looks like it will continue strong into 2025. I have artists books into February. I’m super excited to bring them to you and continue Philo’s wacky adventures. All episodes and full 9 panel-grided pages of art are located here.
Inktober 2024
I participated in half the month of Inktober this year before life got in the way and I wasn’t able to finish what had piled up by the end of the month. I finished 18/31. I might continue the list on my own, maybe on camera, not sure. For now, I’ll post the 18 under the prompts area of my archives for you all. I did a lot of good ones this year.
The Web Creative Community
The Web Creative Community (Discord linked here ) is a place I recently joined as a community member, then a team member, then a mod. It’s a place where a bunch of creatives streamers are trying to support each other’s creative works. There’s a place for everyone, no politics, and a good overall cheerleading team vibe going on over there that is invigorating if you’re a creative type. Come on in. Join the discord. See what’s going on and share your stuff.
The Mighty Huey Foundation
October was a tight month for the ol’ Glych household. Meals got creative. We were counting pennies out of the pig for gas. I borrowed (more) money from my mom for groceries. I lamented my worries to a friend who gifted me a sizeable sum to get out of the hole I was in and worry about making art. He wanted to remain anonymous, but I still wanted to say thank you, so we jotted down the donation in his cat’s name. I’ve added this graphic to my end credits as a thank you, but me being able to create over the next year is due to him. So Thank you.

I have a Patreon. I am making more things for it. I have my first two $10/month patrons! For them, I am singing a song and playing guitar. I am willing to dance for my monkey money. Should you join them, you TOO, shall watch the monkey dance! But I also have subscriptions as low as $1/month where you get a sketch a day. I’m in between of scan sessions for those sketches, but they’re coming. The monkey dancing is there, though.

I updated all of my online branding as I have expanded out to other social networks. Below is a quick card of where to find me. I hope I didn’t make it too difficult. If you’re part of one network and not another I do tend to post similar things on all of them, but try to spice up each one a little bit.
Philo lives!
Hi all! Philo has been picking up speed over on Twitch, though the archives are available on YouTube. Here’s a link to the playlist of all of the episodes. Episode 1 is missing because it was my first time streaming it out to everywhere and it never connected correctly with Youtube, so it is now a “lost” episode. Episode 18 had to be redone due to technical issues the first time we tried to record it. If you want to watch live, I’ll be streaming tonight (Saturday 6/1/2024) at 9pm EST/6pm EST on http://twitch.tv/artglych Enjoy!
Sketches?
I want to make my Patreon something special and different from this website. I’ve been scanning in sketchbooks and posting there every day. We’ll stop posting daily when we run out of sketchbooks. I have a few boxes of them so it’ll be a while. Join my Patreon and get daily sketches! Here’s an example with a link to my Patreon. it’s a sketch of my mom I did back in 2010 after I had graduated from college.
Filed in UncategorizedComments Off on Coloring Book and Red Dahlia
I’ve added the pages of the coloring book to the archive as well as going through the pages of Red Dahlia, both 2004 and 2010 versions.
Philo’s been going strong. Below are some random panels from the story, but you can check out episodes and pages in the archive or live on Twitch or YouTube. Still art-ing. More to come.
I’ve restarted Philo on Saturday nights, 9pm EST/6pm PST. You can find it both on
Twitch or YouTube.
I added a few more commissions to the Archive under illustration, but you can see them below here.
The archive has been updating every day with something new/old. Mostly old, but new to the internet. Or things I made for my Patreon members that I’m making free now (Support me on Patreon if you want). Either way, if you check it out, you’ll see. More to come. It’s going to be a busy year.

Hello! I meant to get this update out on Monday, but I was sick as a dog with a fever and bed rest. Here I am now. Last year I finished the first issue of Captain T. I’ll be getting back to drawing that next week, streaming it out to various platforms as I do, just like I did with the first issue.
I also plan on bringing back Philo. I still have a pile of old episodes I’ll get up on Youtube in time, but that will come. New episodes will also be coming. I bought a Restream account for it and everything. Below is not a picture from Philo, just a cute octopus I drew recently.
I have to finish Shawn Ray’s book this year, Rosie the Salamander. I promised him I’d draw it for him 2 years ago. Sketches from that below.
I’m no longer doing the Urfspace Podcast because one of the other hosts wanted to turn it into the Joe Rogan Experience and I believe in science. I’m still cool with Chuck, but the other host lost credibility with me.
Headed back to the gym. Trying to cut out more time for art this year. Have to finish Captain T and Rosie. Let’s do this! Happy New Year.

I LIVE! I’ve been posting timelapses and Philos over at my Patreon, which will come here eventually, but they get it first because they’re, you know, paying me. Twitch has been very active in the last few months. I’ve been doing the Urfspace Podcast every week with Chuck Whelon and Chris Porro, now Thursday nights 6:30pm PST. Check it out on my twitch or their website. Captain T is plugging along! I haven’t missed an update (yet). The comic is available for free over at Keenspot. Links below. It’s also October once more, which means Inktober. I’m going to be posting those to my socials long before they end of here. We have lots of prompts posting already.
So, I’m making the plunge after many years of working day jobs in retail, offices, and shops- I’m going to make art again. Part of this in the modern day is relying on the kindness of Patrons over at Patreon. I’m going to be updating that site 6 times a week to encourage people to support my work.
I’m making a coloring book called Color Nouveau. It’s going to be only 12 pages to start and I’m about 8 pages in as of this writing. I’ll be including WIP stuff over on my patreon page. Below is a preview. More news to come as soon as I have it.
Philo!
I found a pile of Philos I’ve digitized, but not yet uploaded to Youtube. My plan is upload at least one episode a week. I still have some copyright claims on my Philo videos, which is weird because I used royalty free music. It’s something I still have to look into.
Filed in UpdatesComments Off on New comics are a’comin’
I’ve been scanning in a pile of old comics from my days at MCAD, including one of my favorites about evolution. A lot of the work look rough to my eyes and I can see where I rushed it. But it’s got some merit and I want to share. I just posted a bunch of Philo‘s for this week and will have Milk and Cigarettes airing next week.
Philowas a call-in comic book show Hamil Griffen Cassidy used to run back in Minneapolis that I had the privilege of being a host of for about 2 years.
Milk and Cigarettesis a story I did for one of my classes while attending MCAD.
