Green Zine # 1..... IS HERE!!

Just a day before gay history was made I printed out these bad boys. It was an interesting process... I hadn't drawn Adrian/Phoenix or Mews in about 9 months or so... I have missed them but needed the break after years of working on FAT fridaze.

Mews makes a smaller cameo but was the missing piece... I penciled and inked Mews on the cover but he decided to start making himself known digitally...

Then when it came to some promo shots he decided to make an appearance in the flesh... He began rolling around and being adorable in the background....

I hope you enjoy this 8 page FAT fridaze story and add it to your collection of DMBstudios zines... I will be making 2 more Green Zines as well as a 3rd Daniel Zine this year... so look out for them...

Planning on sending these to New York, Seattle, LA and San Francisco... So, look for them...

Available to order online in the near-ish future

Thanks again for your support everyone!!

Bunny Boy CUMMING 4/20

Finally (a few years later) it is time to sell Bunny Boy ONLINE!!! This is my first B&W comic (as well as self print) and I am so thrilled I finally got to address issues that are still current, like the effects of porn culture and social media on the individual... I will be posting a link Sunday to sell 18 copies... if they sell fast I will reprint fast... Thanks for the support people of the interwebz!!

FF Year 2 New Banner Art

(Adrian, Mews, Fahari & Phoenix)

I had this idea a while ago and had sketched it out. I like to change the banner as much as possible to keep it fresh. I know I get tired of seeing it myself ;)

Make sure to check out an all new comic strip tomorrow, only on FAT Fridaze

Thanks guys <3 p="p">

FAT Fridaze 2 & other adventures...

I recently finished new banner art (that this teaser is from). I also inked FAT Fridaze Strip 53 (the first strip of my second year of this strip series!! WHEEE!!), but will be taking a break from it to work on something else very exciting!!

I've lived in LA about 5 years now give or take and 3 1/2 of those years have been devoted to the development, creation, collaboration and often fantasy of ripping all my hair out from the stress. This roller coaster has been well worth it, for next week I will finally start the dream job I've been waiting on...

I will finally be working on a cartoon!!!!

A CARTOOOOOOON!!! :D)))

Some people wanted to be Marine Biologists when they were kids (wonder how many stuck with that) others wanted to be an astronaut... I wanted to be a "Cartoonist". At least that was the word I used for it at the time. I felt it encompassed the entire cartoon process: the brainstorming, character design, illustration, coloring, inking, story, script, music, animation, and any other technical aspect I didn't know about. (I didn't really realize that it takes a huge team of people, lot's of money and time to bring all the elements together) Luckily since then I have been working on my own projects and trying to develop all aspects of my childhood idea of Cartoonist. So far I have done all of them except animation and recording music/edtiting etc... and that is something I'm hoping to change this year or next.


I won't be animating but I had the privilege of designing the characters, illustrating and hand coloring everything. I couldn't be more thrilled/blessed!! :)


Thanks so much to Kyle Schember and Wiley Hodgden for giving me this amazing opportunity!! I will work my ass off to make this my best work!!


We have only been picked up for a pilot though, so we will be counting on the viewers to help us get picked up (fingers crossed) 


More details soon :)

Thanks guys!

"FAT Fridaze" So far...

First of all, I just want to say Thank You to everyone that has read FAT Fridaze so far :) I really appreciate it... it's still the really early stages so the kinks aren't all worked out just yet... and if you haven't read it, there is still time!! (just click........ here.)

I had been wanting to write for characters like this for a while. Gay guys that I could relate to... I hope as these guys get fleshed out other people can relate to them as well.  I also like the simplicity of the format... the story can never be too long because there just isn't enough space.

I think some people are under the impression that all comic strips are LOL-athons... but really some of these aren't going to even attempt to be funny (I know the punch lines are lagging a bit on the first few, haha)... they're just little "slices" of these character's lives. The stories will range in genre as well as the art... Sometimes these guys look more "realistic" and other times they are extremely cartoony... I've done a lot of stories with Mews the cat so far too that I'm excited about.

Mews teaser

The best part so far is that this is a great little project to work on in my down time. Sketch something out here, finish inking something there... before too long it's colored and ready to post. I am really excited about Strip: #006 that posts this Friday... the art is better (getting more comfortable with drawing these guys) and this isn't just a short little "quip"...

I've fleshed out about 20 now... and I'm really excited with where it's going already.

Thanks for checking it out you guys!!
