Just found your video on Youtube, "My Method for Colouring Comics" and fell in love with your Monk Book never even heard of it. Congrats and hope to see more work in the coming future. God Bless :)
Thanks man! Sorry I'm a bit late responding.
Green Monk: Blood of the Martyrs is on sale TODAY at your local comic book shop. As part of the book launch I'm giving away this piece of original art. It was an alternate cover for the book. To be entered to win the art, all you gotta do is take a pic of yourself with the book, include the hashtag #greenmonk and tag two friends. Thanks for all your support on Tapas, this is really where Green Monk found it's feet!
Aaaah! I still have to wait a few days for it to be available on Amazon, but I'm so excited to order it!
If you'd rather pre-order Green Monk: Blood of the Martyrs via your local comic book shop you can do it with the order code below. I even made a convenient mnemonic device to help you remember!
haha that's cool
So what the heck's been going on with Green Monk? Well, it just so happens that the full 122 page story here on Tapas is being released this September from Image Comics under the title Green Monk: Blood of the Martyrs.
But I've made one small (not small) change. The first 48 pages will be appearing in FULL COLOR. It took a decent amount of effort and some much appreciated help from some amazing color assistants, but we finished it and it looks beautiful.
If you love Green Monk, and you'd like to support the creation of more comics like this, please support the book by pre-ordering on Amazon. http://a.co/02xH8sR
I don't do Patreon, specifically because I would rather receive support through the purchases of books. The book was a labor of love and a massive amount of work, not to mention the coloring assistants that I hired to help me across the finish line. Your support of the book will help me directly to tell more stories like this.
Thanks so much for taking the time to read Green Monk! Sharing it has been the best part of the experience.

Curious about how I color Green Monk? Check out this tutorial on my coloring technique. Hoping to wrap up line-art for the final chapter of Green Monk soon. Next update coming this summer for sure! https://youtu.be/vsxEymuf938
