Pagan Pledge Drive!


Hello Droogies!
Today I am starting my first pledge drive for my Patreon page! It's been a little over a year since the initial launch, and though it's been a success, I am hoping to reach the next "goal" on my page with this drive. I've put together a few rewards for new pledges, and a year's end card for all of my Patrons, new and old. Reaching the goal also "activates" the goal reward on my page, which will be a Dogspunk Sketchbook; a collection of ink drawings I have done over the years. Probably a PG version and a naughty one as an extra.


PLUS: if we reach the goal in the first week, or pass it and make the next goal, I will send out hard copies of the sketchbook free as a way of thanks!
So here's the break-down:
All Patrons (new and old) will receive a Year's End Card, mailed to you with a personalized greeting from me if you pledge at $1 or more!


New Pledges at $3 and above will receive their choice of hand-made Tree Ornament!


Such Excitement.
Head over to Patreon now and check it out... chip in a few bucks if you'd like a tree ornament and a holiday card.. and to help support me while I make comics.
Thanks, all!

Questioning Authority

Hey Droogies!

DAMAGED Cover Art

It's been 6 months since I launched my Patreon page, and I wanted to give an update. Things have been good there, and after a few months of posting some exclusive stories and archived stories, I finally got into the weeds with the next chapter of "Feral and the Ghost Skater", which is called "Damaged" and peeks in on what's been going on with Feral's alter-ego, Grant. Grant is the sad-sack of the bunch. the rest of the characters are having fun, but he just can't find the joy in his situation. Poor fella.
Page 3 of DAMAGED

Anyways, as so often does, life got in the way of this story. The current political season got me all worked up and I felt like I had something to say, so rather than continue to engage in social media flame-wars, I decided to make a comic about how I came to be the political creature I am today, and how that informs my views on this current season. I hope you will take the time to read it, and share it with whomever you feel might enjoy it. I'm not a political scientist, nor an english major, so please don't judge it as if it's a professional essay. It's a comic book.


You can find it here on my safe for all ages comics website Marginalized Publications, or also on my Patreon page... the pertinent pages are accessible to the public there. And if you enjoy it, and/or my other work on Patreon, please consider pledging a dollar or more a month. I've gained patrons over the past 6 months since the initial launch, but I have also lost a few and had a number reduce their pledges due to economic hardships, which believe me I get it. Times are tough, and I appreciate every single cent I get from my patrons. So share this, spread the word. I am always on the look out to increase my audience.

Thank you, friends.
And please, I welcome feedback. Tell me what you like on my site/Patreon, what you'd like to see more of.

Oh, and if you'd like a hard copy of this comic, send me your mailing address... if you are in the states I will be happy to send you one on my dime. Overseas is too expensive, sorry :/

F*** this S***

"Ello Droogies!

It's been a few months since my last post, but I hope to do them more frequently in the future.
I'll be updating about how Patreon is going 6 months in and what I've been doing there, also about updates to the Marginalized Tattoo website, what's going on with the Hard to Swallow Collection and other books I've been involved with, and a special we are having at the shop for Friday the 13th.

But THIS message is to tell you about my latest shirt: 

"F*** this S***"!


100% cotton Alternative Apparel Black Jersey T-Shirt... 
with a 3 color design of some 
giant mutated lizard who's having a bad day. 
Design by Dave DDOG Davenport.
Screen printed locally in Los Angeles!

$20 plus shipping & sales tax
(free shipping on domestic orders 50$ and over!) $22 plus shipping & sales tax for 2xl.

Head over to Dogspunk.com and hit the store button or follow this STORE link directly to go marvel at this masterpiece of over it. BTW, my patrons on Patreon had some input when it came to details of the finished design, so blame them. Bastards.

Patreon

Hello, me Droogies! 
I've launched a Patreon Page. 

W.T.F. is Patreon? 


from the patreon faq:

What Is Patreon?

For creators:
Patreon is a way to get paid for creating the things you’re already creating (webcomics, videos, songs, whatevs).  Fans pledge a few bucks per month OR per thing you release, and then you get paid every month, or every time you release something new (whether it’s on SoundCloud, YouTube, your own website, or anywhere).
For patrons:
Patreon is a way to pay your favorite creators for making the stuff you love.  Instead of literally throwing money at your screen (trust us, that doesn’t work), you can now pledge a few bucks per thing that a creator makes.  For example, if you pledge $2 per video, and the creator releases 3 videos in February, then your card gets charged a total of $6 that month.  This means the creator gets paid regularly (every time she releases something new), and you become a bonafide, real-life patron of the arts.  That’s right.  Imagine you, in a long frilly white wig, painted on a 10-foot canvas on the wall of a Victorian mansion.  And imagine your favorite creators making a living doing what they do best… because of you.
Click here to watch a short video explaining Patreon on YouTube:

My Page went live a few days ago.



On Friday the 13th of November!

It's (obviously) to support my dangerous habit of making comics to the detriment of all else! The majority of my work will be posted free online as web-comics at:
There will be some that are only available to patrons of a certain pledge level, but mostly free. So please keep an eye on that page, but also chip in if you like my work... want to support my creative endeavors... or just want to get some mental hugs from me. Pledges are as low as $1 dollar a month, and you can quit at any time.

Thanks for your support, it really means a lot to me.

Happy Halloween, Droogies!

Lots of news for you!

     Comikaze!

     I'll be at Stan Lee's Comikaze Expo this weekend, at the Los Angeles Convention Center! I'm doing some selling, signing, volunteering, and speaking on a panel! IK,R?

(actual artist may have more grey hair)

     I'll be essentially a cast-away on Prism Comics and Northwest Press's LGBTQIA COMICS ISLAND (booth 910 & 912)! Come and check us out! The folks at Comikaze are being very good to us this year. It's my first time there, as I've usually been focused on Bent-Con this time of year. I'm looking very forward to this!

   

     Marginalized Tattoo!

     News from the shop; my friend and sometime co-worker Josh Schneider is working full time now at Marginalized Tattoo and that's a good thing.


     The shop is a perfect size for two artists, and having worked together for 5 years at West Hollywood Tattoo, we know we can work together well.


     You can check his work out on his instagram page, or his facebook page. I will be adding him to the website and shop FB page soon.
