Welcome to Ancient Astronaut Cartoons
A newsletter about visual storytelling, comics, illustration, and drawing stuff.
Hey, I’m Brad. I draw stuff… sometimes for a living… sometimes as therapy… sometimes just for fun. This newsletter is where I write about drawing stuff. I’m really happy you’re here.
What do I mean by “drawing stuff”, you might ask? Well, I’ll tell you. I mostly consider myself a storyteller. I tell stories through illustration and comics. Some people think of drawing as just making lines on paper (or a screen) to look like something. I guess, at it’s most basic, that’s true, but there’s a lot more that goes into it. Every drawing tells a story… some better than others. I’ve spent a lot of time researching and breaking down concepts and techniques to tell stories more effectively in my drawings so that’s what I’m sharing here.
I also publish my comic strip Change Log here as well as behind the scenes and process artwork from my other comics - currently working on The Atlantean. Check out the links for more info on those projects.
As a special “thank you” to subscribers, you’ll get a free digital preview of The Atlantean! You’ll also get exclusive promo codes and discounts for my store.
Thanks for checking out my Substack, and if you want to see more of my artwork/sketches/ramblings, follow me on X and Instagram.
