Kiwi Blitz

Kiwi Blitz is a biweekly webcomic, updated every Wednesday and Friday. It chronicles the adventures of a couple teenagers’ attempts to fight crime in the not-too-distant future. Imagine an American superhero cartoon mixed with a Japanese mecha anime, and you’ve got the basic husk of the comic’s existence.

Q: How do you make KB?
A: It’s all photoshop and a wacom intuos tablet. I ink with the pencil tool! People ask me if I use vectors a lot, but nope.

Q: I want to read the comic, but I don’t want to start from the beginning. Suggestions?
A: In general, I’d say start with the beginning of the most recent track and compare hair colors with the cast page to figure out who people are.
But! KB is very much a linear story rather than a gag comic, so it works best if you read from the beginning. I promise the art gets better over time!

Q: Do you do any other comics/art?
A: I do! Right now I do the art for The Trenches, a comic about game testers by the creators of Penny Arcade and PVP. You can also always check out my tumblr or dA for the random shit I draw!

Q: Do you take commissions?
A: Sometimes! Just email me if you’re curious about rates!
