STIMULUS PACKAGE 2018 | available for purchase here
Help me through the lean months of winter and help yourself into some original art OR a bunch of books OR both. 4 options available:
OPTION 1: THE HUSKY HELPER
For $25 I will draw a lumberjack, in my style, in black ink, on a nice piece of 4" x 6" 140lb watercolor paper. Do you get to make suggestions about what kind of lumberjack or who or how? No, you do not! But! There is a goodly chance that lumberjack will one day be a character in the lumberjack book I’m working on, so there’s that. Congratulations!
OPTION 2: THE BOOK REPORT
For $25 I will send you a signed and sketched copy of my Diary Comics collection, published by Koyama Press, as well as copies of Diary Comics #5 & #6 (the most recent ones), Small Comics #2 and #3, and one more book of my choice, and one 5x7 print of my choice. $50 value!
OPTION 3: THE SARTORIAL STRAY
For $50 I will draw a dog or a cat (your choice) in a suit (my choice). You can tell me which you want, and if you like you can specify the animal’s gender, but odds are I’ll dress them in a men’s suit because they’re big and boxy and fun to draw. No other suggestions allowed (breed, suit style, pattern, etc). Pen and ink on 5" x 7" archival bristol board.
OPTION 4: THE SPECIFIC STRAY
For $75 I’ll do YOUR dog or cat in a suit. I still get to choose the suit though. You can either email me (dusty AT dharbin DOT com) photos of your pet, or just tell me the breed and I’ll figure it out from there.
More details and purchase and all that here. Thanks in advance!

My story “Small Enough” has been nominated for an Ignatz Award. You can read the whole story for free on my website. And if you’ve never read my comics before, you can now buy my Koyama Press book DIARY COMICS and I’ll send you Diary #5 and #6 (which includes the entirety of “Small Enough” at no additional charge, with sketches in all three books. Thanks to Koyama Press for making that offer possible, and thanks to the Ignatz jury and all the people who have had kind things to say about my story about sobbing uncontrollably in a dark wet forest.

HOURLY COMICS DAY.
Monday was Hourly Comics Day, and I did it. You can click the image or right here to read them on my website, which is at long last awake again thanks to the good offices of Kind Chris Gerringer. I’m slowly uploading my old diary strips, but you can navigate back through the last 40 or so currently, including my story Boxes which people seemed to like (I liked it too).

I HAD A YOUNG BOYFRIEND ONCE.
As I work on future diary comics, I have a small pile of ones I drew over the last couple of years but never posted or published anywhere. Now I’m selling them! I’ll put up more as these sell, but this is a start. Go here if you’d like to buy them–they’re little teeny originals, one of a kind, and once they’re gone they’re gone!
