Comic Studies: Monkey Punch

I did a manga study month a while back and I learned so much by doing these studies. Say what you will about the Lupin III manga, I thoroughly enjoyed it and I think Monkey Punch was so good at his craft. He did a lot of great panels and layouts that you just don’t see in modern manga.

The sketchbook of my manga studies can be found over on my Patreon!

Patreon Goal Achieved!


I made it to the $300 goal on Patreon, which means come January I’ll be posting pages from my 50 page Lupin fancomic “The Curtain Falls” as I complete them. These pages’ll be posted for $3 patrons, posts will include sketches, thumbs and maybe some scripts.

This is the first big story comic I’ve written and thumbed by myself and I’m a little nervous but also excited! The story follows Lupin in his 60s as he deals with aging and his reputation as The World’s Greatest Thief. The pages won’t be posted publicly but I am hoping to compile it into a physical book and a purchasable PDF for late 2022 or early 2023.

I thank my patrons for all the support they’ve given so far, I’m so excited to be working on such an indulgent passion project and I wouldn’t be able to without their help!
