Frequently Asked Questions

What programs/materials do you use?

I drew BSC 9, 11 & Invisible on my laptop with Clip Studio Paint and Photoshop, and a Wacom Intuos Medium tablet. Now I use my iPad Pro and Apple Pencil to draw my current projects, including Danny Phantom.

I use the default texture ink brush in Clip Studio Paint for pretty much everything, but also use Tristan Yuvienco’s brushes on occasion.

How long does it take to make a graphic novel?

It depends on the project and the team involved, but for me it takes an average of 2 years per book, usually with overlap of other projects.

Can you answer my question about danny phantom?

I’m not able to answer questions about A Glitch in Time or future books at this time.

Please don’t send me scripts or pitches— I do not work for Nickelodeon.

Can you give a talk/come visit my school/library?

I’m currently taking a break from school visits. Still available for virtual talks with libraries/colleges.
