Been going through my flat files and have uncovered sketches, notes, ideas, and finished pages I haven't seen in 30 years. I'll be using some of the art in my mini-doc of Whatever Happened To The Rat Bastard Show? Here's one that sums up my feelings about the project most days:

The Spider-Verse animated films are by far my favorite example of innovation. Here's how they did it. I found this video to be almost as fascinating as the films. Enjoy.

Rat Bastard video now getting almost 700 views per day.
If you haven't seen it, go here, like it, and subscribe— I feel like a digital panhandler, but it does a lot to please the algorithm gods.

Question for those who understand the dark arts of SEO -- how do I find the specific site that is causing all these kids to view my Rat Bastard video on YouTube?There's been a tremendous spike to 63,390 views over the past 28 days. Someone has got to be sending these 18 to 34-year-olds to check out this out.

Something is happening. The Rat Bastard mini-pilot had about 30k viewers for several years. Suddenly the views jumped 58k in a month.

If you'd like to know what I've been doing creatively for the past few decades, check out the interview on YouTube. Jason DeHart does a great job of getting me to open up on my high highs and low lows.

Author and artist Cliff Galbraith stops by to talk about his creative journey through comics and media, and his latest prose creation, Jagged Worlds.

It blows my mind that a whole new generation of kids are discovering Rat Bastard through a 4-minute pilot made by Kevin Altieri and produced by RoboCop creator Ed Neumier back in 2000. Made possible by Ron Howard's Imagine Televion, but unfortunately never aired.

And we're back! After a long hiatus, a pandemic, and a shift from promoting conventions, we're returning to our roots of creating killer content! In January, our founder, Cliff Galbraith, finished his first long-form sci-fi novel, the 560-page Jagged Worlds. Today he dropped the first of many concept designs for what he describes as "a visual companion to the novel."
