It doesn't have regular schedule, but if you check every week there should be an update or two. Will you make a history comic about so-and-so? I don't take official requests, because I get so many, but I keep suggestions I hear in mind. At certain times I have asked for requests from readers and then taken the first so many responders, so keep an eye out for that sort of thing. Will you make something for my anthology? Do you do commission work? Writing and drawing my own work takes up a lot of energy so I don't have a huge amount of time for commissions. Sometimes I can fit a small drawing in, sometimes the money makes something bigger worth it. Please include what you'd like to pay in your initial inquiry, we can always work on it from there. Can I use a drawing for a tattoo or can you draw me a tattoo? Oh dear, I am really uncomfortable with this idea! How do you draw this thing? I draw it with pencils and then I use a pen on top, it is terribly simplistic. What is your education? I have a degree in History and Anthropology from Mount Allison University. Can I interview you? Maybe! If you can think of the same couple questions everyone asks and then not ask them, even better.
