MM 46 - Level Up or Stay Stuck

FWACATA ·

2026/04/06

NOTE: I uploaded the wrong video initially as I had everything in one folder in my effort to clean up and be efficient. This is what I get for being cleaned up and efficient.It’s April.Let that sit for a second.We’re not easing into the year anymore—we’re deep in it. A third of it is gone. Time doesn’t slow down; it just keeps moving, whether you’re ready or not. And if you’ve been feeling like you’re grinding but not really moving forward, this one’s for you.Because something’s been on my mind

Mm 45 - better to do the wrong thing than no thing

FWACATA ·

2026/03/30

The sun is back, and it’s cooking us alive. Not Miami heat—no, this is that dry El Paso blast where the shade lies to you and the second you step out, you’re in a microwave. I spent part of the week outside hammering rebar into the dirt, questioning my life choices and trying to keep my brain from melting.And somehow, that wasn’t even the hardest part of the week.What stuck with me wasn’t the heat—it was a classroom.A bunch of kids. Quiet. Too quiet. Not rebellious, not chaotic… just stuck. Phones

ODE TO SAM

FWACATA ·

2026/03/25

I never thought I’d be making this episode.Not this soon.This past week—March 15th—we found out that comic creator and artist Sam Kieth passed away.He was 63.And yeah… that’s young. That’s too young.And I’m not going to sit here and pretend I can talk about him in some detached, objective way. I can’t. His work didn’t just influence me—it changed my life.Straight up.Let me take you back.Mid-90s. I want to say ’94, ’95.I’m in Miami, in an art magnet program. I’ve already decided I’m going to be a

MM 44 - If You Will It, It Is No Dream

FWACATA ·

2026/03/23

There’s this idea—old, almost cliché at this point—that if you want something bad enough, you can make it real.Most people nod at that and move on.But actually doing it?That’s where things get ugly.This week, I’m coming off finishing the second issue of FUGGLY, pushing toward a 52-episode webcomic structure, juggling formats (web, Instagram, print), and trying to build something that actually lasts. Not just a post. Not just a moment. A body of work.And here’s the truth nobody likes to say:It’s

MM 43 - Go Ahead… Judge a Little

FWACATA ·

2026/03/16

We’ve all heard it before: “Don’t judge.”It’s one of those phrases that sounds good on a bumper sticker. Clean. Moral. Easy to repeat.But if you stop and think about it for more than five seconds… it falls apart.Because judging things is literally how humans survive.We judge traffic.We judge food.We judge situations, people, risks, smells, vibes, and that one guy in the airport walking barefoot through a plane aisle like he’s in his living room.Judgment isn’t the problem.The problem is what we do

MM 42 - Big Try Little Try

FWACATA ·

2026/03/09

Some Mondays, the motivation shows up early, bright-eyed, ready to conquer the week.And some Mondays… it crawls in late, covered in dirt, smelling like a half-inflated air mattress and questionable camping decisions.This week was the second kind.Spring break has that strange effect on time where you wake up late, realize the day already started without you, and suddenly your plans involve doing something slightly ridiculous just because you can. In my case, that meant testing out some brand-new

MONDAY MOTIVATION 41: My Aluminum Hat Itches

FWACATA ·

2026/03/02

Not the cute “What’s the deal with traffic?” kind of joke or the coffee-mug Instagram quote kind of motivation. I’m talking about the kind of information that feels like the entire internet is screaming at you as you scroll through your phone.Somehow, you’re still expected to go to work, be charming, and be productive despite feeling overwhelmed. We live in a time where we have access to more information than any previous generation, yet it feels like we’re caught in a chaotic storm. Every headline

MM: Slain by a Group Chat

FWACATA ·

2026/02/23

It’s Monday.You just woke up. Or you’re in your car. Or you made the bold decision to hit play on a motivational podcast before coffee. Respect.Let’s talk about something uncomfortable.A friend of mine once said he wished he lived in medieval times. Viking stuff. Sword. Tribe. Clear enemies. Clear purpose. Life was brutal, sure — but at least it was simple.And I get the fantasy.Not the pillaging. Relax.But the idea that if survival were harder, meaning would be clearer.Here’s the part that keeps me

The State of FWACATA: Why the Podcast Went Quiet (and Why It’s Coming Back Louder)So… what happened to the podcast?A couple of you slid into my DMs asking if everything was good. First off — thank you. That actually means a lot. The simple answer? I’ve been busy. The real answer? I’ve been building.Comics. Paintings. Finishing FWACATA #3. Wrapping up FWACATA #4 for Kickstarter in March. Launching FUGGLY. Writing short stories for Dragonbreath. Experimenting with new painting techniques (acrylic +

REVIEW: TANK CHAIR

FWACATA ·

2026/02/12

Sometimes you pick up a manga because the title sounds like a joke.And sometimes that “joke” punches you in the mouth in the best possible way.TANK CHAIR is one of those books.Created by Manabu Yashiro, this series takes a premise that could have easily stayed a one-note gimmick — a combatant in a weaponized wheelchair — and turns it into one of the coolest high-concept action manga running right now.Let’s be clear: this is not metaphor-first, theme-heavy literary manga. This is a momentum manga.The

🔥 **DAWN – Timelapse Illustration | FWACATA** 🔥This timelapse features an illustration of **Dawn**, created as a commission reward for a backer of the **FWACATA Issue #2 Kickstarter**. From loose sketch to finished piece, this video captures the full process—lines, inks, mood, and all the little decisions that bring the character to life.**About Dawn:**Created by Joseph Michael Linsner, *Dawn* debuted in the 1990s and quickly became an icon of creator-owned comics.

Horror, History, and Hard Truths

FWACATA ·

2026/01/30

I was digging through the archives and came across this great conversation from way back in 2021, when I was still running Goblins Heist—and it absolutely holds up.The talk features Rodney Barnes, a veteran, award-winning screenwriter and producer whose work continues to shape modern genre storytelling across comics, television, and film. Barnes dives into what he was working on at the time (and what was coming next), while breaking down craft, survival, and voice in horror, fantasy, and drama with

MAKING A PAGE — PANEL BY PANEL

FWACATA ·

2026/01/27

Don’t break the CHAIN! This post/video is the real thing: me building a page of FUGLY from the ground up—panel by panel, mistake by mistake. No polish. No highlight reel. Just rough layouts, ugly sketches, rewrites, second-guessing, fixes, and all the tiny decisions that quietly decide whether a page works or dies on the table.(time-lapse version) I’m sharing this here because this is where comics actually live—in the process. Patreon isn’t just for finished art; it’s for the thinking, the false

FROM BATMAN METAL TO STUDIO CHAOS: Poison Ivy and...

FWACATA ·

2026/01/22

Just wrapped this Batman Metal sketch card for the newly released Upper Deck Batman Metal set—and yeah, this one was a blast.This card features Poison Ivy, and I leaned hard into what I love about her: not the pin-up cliché, but the green goddess of crime energy. Ivy isn’t fragile. She’s powerful, sensual, dangerous, and very much rooted in the idea that nature doesn’t ask permission. I’ve always preferred drawing women with weight, presence, and power—less “skinny-skinny,” more mythic force of

MM 37 - Am I the Asshole?

FWACATA ·

2025/11/10

There’s a question I think everyone should ask themselves from time to time:Am I the asshole?If you’ve never asked that question — not once, not even a whisper of it — then odds are, yeah… you probably are.We’ve all met assholes. You’ve probably encountered one today. Hell, in the last 48 hours, you’ve likely seen someone cut in line, ghost a friend, act superior at work, or just let a door slam in your face. And if you can’t think of anyone? Congratulations, it’s you.But here’s the thing: being an

Monday Motivation #37 – VETE A VER! (GO AND SEE!)

It’s Monday. You know what that means.It’s Monday Motivation fing time.*I’m on the road right now — my wife’s singing at an event, there’s no parking, and I’m sitting in the car like a responsible adult who’s pretending to be productive. And you know what? The hustle is real.So today’s theme comes from my dad, who had this one saying that’s been burned into my DNA:“¡VETE A VER!” — Go and see!See, when I was a kid, my dad would get so tired of me wondering about stuff.

MM 35 - HIGHS and LOWS with FWACATA in the MIDDLE

Hey, what’s going on, everybody?It’s Monday, the 27th (I think? My calendar’s buried somewhere under art supplies), and I’m feeling that post-Kickstarter glow. FWACATA #3 wrapped up strong — fully funded, stretch goals flying — and I’m buzzing. There’s no better way to start a Monday than on a high note.Because here’s the truth, man: life is highs and lows. That’s it. That’s the whole game. One day you’re up, the next you’re face-first in a puddle of ink, wondering if your printer hates you. But

MM 35 - Balancing Art and Life

FWACATA ·

2025/10/23

(NOTE: SORRY FOR THE LATENESS, BUT IT WAS A PAIN IN THE ASS EARLIER THIS WEEK TO POST THIS! SO POSTING TODAY!)You don’t “find” balance — you learn to dance between deadlines and dinner dishes.Comics take time — a lot of it. And time is the one thing life never seems to have enough of.We chase this mythical balance: perfect productivity, creative satisfaction, and a stable existence. But the truth? Balance is a rhythm, not a ratio.Some weeks you create like a machine; others, you barely doodle

MM 34 - Being Better than your Options

FWACATA ·

2025/10/13

We all like to think we’re good people. But are we really? Or are we just people who haven’t been given the chance to be bad yet?That’s the thing my dad used to say: “People are how they are, and people are where they should be.” And as harsh as it sounded, he was right. Because most of the ugliness in the world isn’t random—it’s self-inflicted. There are very few tragedies. Doesn’t mean you don’t help or push people down, no, not at all, but many of us are where we put ourselves. The truth is,
