Just some Black Ball art I really love. I had to finish this in a very short time but I was still able to pull off some complex lighting effects. My marker skills keep improving!

Black Ball updates every Wednesday.

Hello everyone!
After a long time away from Tapas, I have decided to bring my new webcomics series BLACK BALL here to share with everyone.
A magical murder mystery in the 1920s, Black Ball follows clueless Emily as she enters the underground world of bootlegging and spellcraft to get answers to her sister's murder.
Black Ball updates every Wednesday, and you read the most recent pages at http://welcometoblackball.com

Hello all. I know I have been quiet lately on Tapas, but I want to officially announce that I will no longer be publishing on this platform. One of the biggest reasons is the extra time it takes to cut up my traditionally drawn pages for the vertical format. Not only does this take extra time, but I feel ruins my page flow and intentions for the story. Another is of course all the nonsense that has been happening with Tapas and how they run. I would rather not have my work controlled by someone else without me knowing, and some of their policies as of late have not sat well with me.

I hope you all understand, and thank for so much for following me and enjoying Vatican Assassins. If you'd like to continue with the story, you can read it at the official Vatican Assassins website, now optimized for mobile! http://vaticanassassinscomic.com.

See you around!
Love,
MJ

Hello all! I know it's been awhile, but between preparing for The Great Philadelphia Comic Con (April 7th-9th), traveling, and then being sick, I've been very tied up! Tapastic pages will be coming back soon, but in the meantime you can check out http://vaticanassassinscomic.com to read the comic every Monday!

Hey guys! Did you know I've been making Vatican Assassins for 5 years now? My art has really improved in that time, especially my coloring skills! I just love these kids so much :D

You can also get this image as a coloring page! I'd love to see how you all color the trio! Pick it up on Gumroad: https://gumroad.com/l/lPFkD
