You might know my work on the comic strip Wondermark! I’ve also collaborated with pals to create Machine of Death and Tweet Me Harder.

I’ve also made videos, creature portraits, and inflammatory book covers. I have been known to interrogate my cat.

I am primarily a cartoonist and a designer, and I like making fun things for nice people to enjoy. There is plenty of stuff out there already for jerks, so I figure this can be my "niche"????

For years, Wondermark was mainly supported by products that I’d make for people to buy. I still make products, but I also recognize that not everyone wants more physical goods in their life, or lives in a place where it’s economical to have stuff shipped to from the US.

If you just want to drop something in the Wondermark tip jar (and become a certified Friend of Wondermark in the process), you can do that here.

But if you’d like to get a stream of exclusive behind-the-scenes Wondermark content from me, then welcome to Patreon!

I’ve very grateful for patrons; the income helps me not just feed my family and all that boring stuff, but also goes toward special projects that’ll make the Wondermark experience better – for example, right now I’m allocating funds for building out a new mobile-friendly Wondermark website, with long-awaited new features such as comic dialogue search and larger comic images.

Wondermark comics will always be free – but I do provide special benefits for patrons. If you become a patron, here’s a short list of what you’ll get for your pledge:

$2 pledge and above:

⇨ Patron-only blog : I post about lots of stuff – bonus Wondermark comics; sneak peaks at projects I’m working on; behind-the-scenes info on design and process; special advance access to and discounts on new merch; and free downloads of various things (such as print-at-home Wondermark greeting cards).

⇨ Discord forum : Feel free to join me and other readers in this low-key and friendly chatroom. The forum is open to the public – but your user icon will be marked as a patron!

⇨ 2 Minutes to Wondermark : These are short, 2-minute timelapse videos (with commentary added!) of me making individual Wondermark comics. These videos are just for Patreon!

⇨ Archive Dive : Essay-length posts that dig into the backstory behind (and surprising thematic connections between) various individual comics from the 15+ year history of Wondermark.

⇨ Magazine Time Machine : Livestreams of me reading and sharing strange stuff from the vintage books and magazines I find Wondermark images in. I announce each stream in advance so you can watch live if you like; the streams are archived for later viewing, too.

⇨ From the Roll-a-Sketch Vault : Showcasing (with commentary) some of my favorite Roll-a-Sketch creature drawings that I drew at conventions, but have never before shared in the Wondermark blog.

$3+ pledge also gets you:

⇨ Malki on the Mark : A process journal in podcast form about the minutiae of creating the next Wondermark book. Includes interviews with and war stories from some of my cartooning colleagues. The link above goes to each episode's post on Patreon – or, copy the unique RSS feed url that Patreon provides you (under 'AUDIO RSS LINK' at the top left of the page) for listening in any podcast app.

$5+ pledge also gets you:

⇨ Reader Participation : Go ahead, challenge me! Periodically I’ll ask for suggestions for lines of dialogue to work into a comic, or ask if there’s a comic from the archive that you think we should look back in on. If I use your suggestion, I’ll also try to weave your name into the comic itself (somehow).
