I don't either

Hey friends! Don't forget to leave a suggestion for this year's False Knees Inktober! Theme is "Modern Dinosaur" so any bird or reptile or comically sad looking frog (maybe). You can comment your suggestion on this or the previous few posts. Thanks! Looking forward to it!

Patreon-exclusive comic #4

I feel bad disparaging Caxi but am heartened by the fact that she will likely never learn to read nor comprehend two dimensional representations of herself.

Inktober is coming up! What should Josh draw?

Hi everyone! Melodie here. October is on the horizon, which means Inktober is too!

For those who don’t know, Inktober is a yearly event in which artists challenge themselves to draw something every single day for a month. It doesn’t matter what - there are lists of prompts you can follo...

Last weekend we went on a canoe portage trip and had a nice break from the kids (cats). Stargazing, skinny-dipping, lily-paddling, we did it all! Let's go again.

Sometimes the creative juices don't flow, and sometimes they don't flow for quite a while. It felt really good to finish this comic. 

Back in the swing of things, with some exciting False Knees store-related announcements by the end of next week!

Barkmanthology (1995-2020)

Recently I've seen people sharing art they made however many years ago beside their current work. So yesterday I thought it would be fun/awful to dig through my archives (boxes of loose paper in the basement) to revisit old drawings and do the same. It turned into a bit of a deep dive that took u...

New art print in progress

Hello folks!

I wanted to show you a sneak peek of a new art print Josh has been working on. This one will join the series of prints with the Horned Owl, Grackle and Robin he has made already. He had made a crow art print that was a limited edition only, but it was so popular it ran out of s...

Fermented Berries

In the next post, Mélodie will share some extra material I made putting this comic together :)

More digital doodles

Hello everyone!

It's been a month since the last post and I want to apologize for that - I just came back to work full-time in April after being part-time for the past year and so it's getting harder to find time to write these posts. But I'll still do my best to show you behind-the-scenes ...

Twitch doodles

Josh has been really enjoying streaming since last week! I noticed he's drawing for longer stretches at a time, and it makes drawing less of a lonely activity since people can chat and interact with him while he's drawing. It's really cool! 

He's been taking viewer's suggestions on wha...
