The Pixelton Blog: December 28th, 2007
You sit alone in a room and would like to make an amazing animation. But you don’t know how. And you can’t draw or animate.
Like a bad D & D game you have the help of other curious ninjas, gnomes, and enchanted werewolf. You do not have to pay or work, you just share ideas [...]
The Pixelton Blog: December 29th, 2007Happy Saturday! Only three days left to add value to 2007. No pressure.
A few weeks back I went to see my buddy (and business partner) take over Chicago’s Subterranean. He is currently #69 in Most Subscribed YouTube users of all time and #14 in Music. Pretty stunning. I figured people may enjoy his work so [...]
The Pixelton Blog: December 30th, 2007Presents. Friendship. Santa’s noble but endlessly futile death. What more could one ask for in a holiday comic diversion?
Stay tuned for the announcement of the BIG SUPER SECRET PIXELTON BOOK SURPRISE® tomorrow night!
Stuck in 2007,

The Pixelton Blog: January 1st, 2008{Totally not the cover}
Happy New Year! Such an exciting time to start anew with the world. In celebration I thought I’d share the big secret of the upcoming Welcome to Pixelton graphic novel:
It is a totally interactive graphic novel adventure.
There will be tons of unique paths to adventure on, hundreds of creative ways to die, [...]
The Pixelton Blog: January 9th, 2008Hello people of today!
So here I am nine days into the new year, and it feels like I may have travelled into the future. Nine days ago my design company had a few less gigantic clients (we just signed American Express!). Nine days ago I didn’t know my old graphic novel was going to be [...]
The Pixelton Blog: January 25th, 2008Wowza. When looking through my derelict stats I noticed and interesting link…from the Wall Street Journal. Lo-and-behold, it was referencing my old post about the beautiful and haunting game Passage. The author, Mr Aaron Rutkoff said:
“On some message boards, gamers confess that they’ve been moved to tears. “I’ll be a man and admit this game [...]
The Pixelton Blog: January 28th, 2008Today is my 26th birthday, and for the first time in my life I can say I’m happy with where I am. I’m celebrating by doing a new comic which hopefully will hit tonight.

The Pixelton Blog: February 6th, 2008Some of you may know that this webcomic is merely a charleton compared to the megaton of entertainment coming. I’ve been working on a Choose Your Own Adventure, meets Encyclopedia Brown, meets puzzle book, meets retro game fan fiction for far too long now. I’m very pleased to report that it has been really jumping [...]
The Pixelton Blog: February 13th, 2008The new Choose Your Own Adventure, Pixelton Graphic Novel moves forward each day. Lumbering slowly and methodically down paths I never intended it to reach. Soon it will be ready to be unleashed on the unwilling masses. Let the hype begin!
This week’s taste test is an early sample of a page we’d seen before. But [...]
The Pixelton Blog: February 17th, 2008
My life has been taken over the past week. And not unlike a monster movie, I’m too awed by the mythical primitive force before me to be frightened. You see, Professor Layton and the Curious Village for the Nintendo DS came out this week and quickly graphed itself to my hands.
Here are five reasons why [...]

Good evening children of the night. Hotrods of wonderous destruction await your control!
This week’s preview of the epic adventures of Kirby and Fil involves a carpool of anarchy. One of the big problems with the web comic is the total lack of ability to comfortably add atmosphere or pure action. Instead I’m busy adding a [...]
The Pixelton Blog: February 25th, 2008A Haiku about the coloring tutorial video above:
Ink and snow wait still,
Born to breathe with energy,
Get your butt to work.
Hardcore Zen,

The Pixelton Blog: February 27th, 2008(This is this Wednesday’s peek into the inking of the graphic novel as it moves forward. )
So it is odd that in a comic about a town of retired 8-bit heroes you’ve never seen the actual town, no? The secret is that I’ve been saving this gooey morsel for the book. Lots of action across [...]
The Pixelton Blog: March 2nd, 2008Hello people of March. A double dose of free stuff is going to hit these pages in the next 24 hours. So stay tuned, tell everyone you know who likes free as an adjective, grab a beverage, and warm your internets for downloading.
The one and only Harlequin made a really nice tutorial on how to [...]
The Pixelton Blog: March 6th, 2008
You there - yes you - you deserve a break. Take off that stressful outfit, put on a nice smoking jacket, and curl up by the fire while I make shadow puppets for your amusement.
AHHHHHHHHHH! Did you see that? Something moved in the corner. I’m pretty sure it ate one of the shadow puppets. RUN! [...]
