24 YEARS OF FOAMY!!! :
Yep, it's been a bit since all this started as a hand made comic book run off a copier at a local store. It's been a crazy ride with some ups, a lot of downs and the random boost here and there, and that's thanks to you! Everyone supporting, watching, spreading the word. It all helps and keeps things going. It's extremely appreciated and very humbling to still be able to do what I like with your help. So once again, thank you, and for me... it's back to work! Not gonna make it to 25 years goofin' off :)
A.i.J.i. Album 4.0 Released! :
It’s available on Bandcamp, itch.io, Gumroad, Spotify, and Apple Music. Also available to all supporting Patrons on Patreon!
For those who haven't read up on the project, check the previous posts—and yes, I'm still making Foamy cartoons.TLDR Version : Wrote a bunch of music over the last 20 something years, couldn't find reliable band members for decades, now I have robots helping out with that "full band" thing I've always wanted.
Seems every so often some site I work with turns to dust, so this time it's Design By Humans which suddenly closed without notice. No email, no posts, nuthin'. So after over a decade there, it's vanished. So, I've moved a lot of stuff over to FourthWall Shop. Not EVERYTHING that was on DBH is on FW, but I'm slowly working on it.
Updated all the A.i.J.i. albums on Itch & Gumroad to include the uncompressed .FLAC format as well as the .MP3 format. If you've picked them over there, you can just downloaded it when you feel like it, no additional hoops to jump through. They are already in a lossless format on Bandcamp, so no need to worry if you got it there.
Updated (almost) the entire iLL WiLL PrEss site to be HTML5 compliant. You mean, it wasn't already? Nope. I went through the code, updated things, got rid of and replaced depreciated tags, codes, and all sorts of things, and tried to keep the website as close to how it normally looks.
It literally took days as some code was so old it from the geocities days!
So thankfully that's done, and I can get back to some actual work, but it needed to be tended to. So you may not notice it, but the site is now error free as far as validation goes and should be somewhat stable moving forward. I also moved the character page from the old site to the current one and intend on adding more character info soon for all the other characters I haven't had a chance to work into episodes.
Seems Design By Humans Stickers just kinda quietly went away, and I haven't heard much about them coming back, so until they do, I set up a Fourth Wall Shop which essentially does the same thing, but ALSO HAS HATS! Also I can make sticker sheets for folks who want a few at a time, and they end up being cheaper somehow.
Unfortunately I've had to raise the shipping rates on ALL international shipping on everything (which I haven't done in 10 years), but as prices raised and everything, I can only "eat so much postage" before international sales become a negative. Trying to send a single CD to the U.K. costs $22 dollars. I was charging $9. So yeah, that's a negative. :( Sorry about that, but things keep going up.
A new collection of Foamy rants called "Everyone's Mind is a Dumb Bowl of Cereal" has been released! It's on the usual streaming services: Bandcamp, Gumroad, Itch.io, and is available to download for Patrons on Patreon. Enjoy!
The Neurotically Yours "Island Series" collection is available to purchase on Itch.io & Gumroad for those who want to support all things Foamy! It includes all the episodes, some bonus stuff, and all the animated comic book episodes as well.
Album 3.0 has been released!
It’s available on Bandcamp, itch.io, Gumroad, Spotify, and Apple Music. Also available to all supporting Patrons on Patreon!
For those who haven't read up on the project, check the previous posts—and yes, I'm still making Foamy cartoons.
Roadmap!
Since I’ve written a ton of songs over the decades, I’ll be releasing more music over the next few years. There are 6 albums planned (1.0 to 6.0), then another 6 further out. The ".0" albums were mostly written between 2001–2006, with some dating back to the late '90s. The post-6.0 releases are a mix of lyrics from the past 30 years—scraps, rewrites, and new material. I’ve probably written around 20 new songs just in 2025.
Darkness & Fun!
Like Germaine’s poetic leanings, these lyrics come from a darker place. Most songs are introspective or observational—don’t expect bubblegum pop. But I do toss in the occasional “fun” track. Album 3.0 includes "I Hate Clowns", a cynical jab at balloon-wielding weirdos.
If you’re not into A.I.-driven music, I get it—but after 25 years of trying to form bands only to face scheduling and creative hurdles, this route keeps the music alive. Better to have it heard via robots than lost forever, right? :)
Besides, squirrels would work with robots before working with people.
Album 2.0 has been released!
It's available on Bandcamp, itch.io, Gumroad, Spotify, and Apple Music. Also available to all supporting Patrons on Patreon!
Thanks for supporting this musical side project—it's been a great way to revisit old songs and write new ones. I tried for decades to pull together a steady band. Since people proved unreliable... robots it is :)
More albums are planned through 2027—roughly 3 per year. I've written tons of tracks over the years and started penning fresh material. They'll be released steadily without overwhelming anyone all at once.
Album 1.0 has been released!
It's available on Bandcamp, itch.io, Gumroad, Spotify, and Apple Music. Also available to all supporting Patrons on Patreon!
Thanks for supporting this musical hobby side project :)
More music will be released over the next year—plans reach into September–October 2026.
(Yep, I've written a LOT of songs over the last 20 years!)
Today I posted “Wrath of the Squirrels”—a song I wrote and produced using A.I. music generation tools. Crazy, right? But AI isn’t going anywhere, and if it helps bring long-stored lyrics to life, why not channel it for good (or squirrel-inspired chaos)?
I’ve struggled for years with the logistics of recording music—friends bailing, schedules clashing, gear vanishing for rent money—and after decades of trying to build a full band, it just never materialized. So before I threw my 250+ song archive into the public domain out of frustration, I gave AI one last shot. And it basically said, “Bro, I got you.”
I’ve laid out my own rules:
1. I write the lyrics. No AI randomness—these words come from a real place.
2. I have to LIKE it. If it doesn’t feel right, it doesn’t get released.
3. Don’t take it too seriously. It’s a creative outlet, not a career shift.
4. Embrace personas. “A.i.J.i. & The BoTs” lets characters carry emotional weight so I don’t have to revisit some of those darker chapters directly.
As for distribution: Songs will be available to all tiers of Patreon, and also show up on Bandcamp, Itch.io, and Gumroad. You can also just enjoy them on YouTube 🙂
And yes—I’m STILL making Foamy cartoons.
(Just mentioning that again so no one panics when I try something new. The Foamy train never stops.)
Changed up the character design again—back to the larger expressive eyes that people seem to connect with better. Also dialing down background complexity, drawing inspiration from the “Island Series” and “Chibi Series” aesthetics.
Behind the scenes, I’ve been managing some rough health stuff—especially throughout 2024. Physical therapy’s helping, but it’s been a grind. Despite that, new episodes are still dropping biweekly. I’m stubborn like that 🙂
If you’ve been keeping up, you know it hasn’t been easy—YouTube struggles, financial stress, algorithm frustration. But YOUR support keeps this going. Thank you for sticking with me, through every shift, sketch, and squirrel.
SPREAD THE WORD!!!
Made a new mini comic for all! Featuring Lucretia
Darkmoore!
She hasn’t had much opportunity to shine in the series yet, and was sort of edged out during the “Island Series” comic arc—but I’m hoping to get more stories with her out there soon. Maybe even a spin-off series if time allows.
I’m still recovering from some lingering health stuff, and sitting at the computer 14 hours a day hasn’t helped much... so I’m working on better balance.
Meanwhile—the comic’s live now on: Thanks to everyone who’s been supportin’. Enjoy!

You're the ones keeping things going!
You're the glue that keeps the raft of Foamy afloat in the turbulent waters of sustainability!
You are the duct tape holding things together!
You too can be duct tape!
Support where you can and let's keep this going!
If you're already supporting, THANK YOU!!!!!!
Spread the word of Foamy!
'Cause sometimes things are around so long, we all just forget they're still there :o
J.
"Save Pum'Kin Guy!!!" is now a physical board game on GAMECRAFTERS
Enjoy!
Also, when the Foamy card game comes out, it will probably be on this site as well. For those who don't know, they're a print-on-demand board and card game company that does some pretty good work. So rather than get mired down in a whole Kickstarter, I figure it might just be easier to do it this way?
Idk. We'll see what happens with the card game when I get to that point.
The printable version of “Save Pum'Kin Guy!!!”
is live—complete with 3 stages, directions, a mini comic,
soundtrack clips, and printable game pieces.
You’ll need a single six-sided die (or just google “dice roll” and hit that virtual cube).
Available now on:

Thanks to everyone who’s been supportin’! Your help allows odd
little things like this to happen! Enjoy!
Still having fun with my screen downtime and made another free printable mini comic for everyone! It’s on GUMROAD, ITCH.IO, and Patreon!
Thanks to everyone who’s been supportin’! Enjoy!
Yeah, it took awhile since I've been laid up, but issue number 2 of the Neurotically Yours “Island Series” comic is now on GUMROAD and ITCH.IO. Also available to the $5+ supporters on Patreon! (Check Patron-only posts).
So enjoy, and thank you!
(Also, I’ll be updating some stuff in the “BiTs” series over the next month, and I kinda have an idea of what I want to do with it. So expect a few changes here and there.)
More Changes!? Yep!:
Yeah, I get bored honestly. After working on the same series for
over 20 years, if I don’t keep things interesting for myself,
there’s really no point.
The “new” art style is actually an old one that predates the Foamy series—more like my early doodles with simple talking cats and goofy strips. That fun simplicity is what I need right now.
The internet has become mentally toxic—endless bickering, reaction culture, infighting, name calling. It’s exhausting.
So the “BiTs” series is my chill approach. Germaine’s getting an overhaul: she’s more centered now, no more constant trauma dumping. Foamy won’t argue with her—he’ll help her, like they used to in the original comics.
The rants aren’t going anywhere, but they’ll shift focus—less about broken societal systems and more about the daily idiocy that never really changes anyway.
Logic and truth have become subjective, and Foamy yelling into the void hasn’t changed that in 20 years. So now he’ll yell about different voids. Preferably while helping Germaine dodge emotional landmines.
The “BiTs” series will explore blocking out toxic noise and actually living your life. And if Germaine and Foamy can do that, maybe the rest of us can too.
Oh—and yep, there’s a new free printable comic available now at: GUMROAD, ITCH.IO, and Patreon. Enjoy!

February 12th 2024
Yep, it's been a while since I posted here, but I've been running around, trying to get everything done before surgery, had a surgery, and now, as of this post, I'm recovering from the surgery.
Medically moving forward I need to find a balance between working on Foamy stuff and fitting in some sort of physical activity. I've been working on Foamy for over 20 years, at a desk, not moving for 12–14 hours a day. It's not healthy, and before it catches up to me even more, I REALLY need to do stuff.
What does that mean for Foamy? Not much will change. Cartoons should roll out as usual, and there may be a few more “Bits” episodes tossed into the mix, or just a handful of shorter episodes from time to time. All depends on what needs to be said and how I'm feeling.
What about Twitch Streams? I’ll continue doing them and would love to add more, but that’s still desk time. It’s physically exhausting. I don’t have staff to outsource work, so it all comes down to my personal pace and health.
So, moving forward: I’ll try to maintain the usual output, but there will be days I need to prioritize movement over screen time.
THANK YOU! Huge thanks for supporting through all of it—health scares, chaotic life stuff, and platform nonsense. Your support has kept this weird little world afloat. Truly appreciated.
Neurotically Yours: The Original Season 6 is now available in HD as a digital download on GUMROAD and ITCH.IO!
(And yes, it includes those episodes that were pulled from YT.)
For those who have been following for years or days, you may or may not know, I tend to change things up every few years just to keep things interesting for everyone and myself.
So Neurotically Yours “Bits” is just that—another version of the series that’s going to be a bit more fun than the usual stuff. It’ll have a derpy style similar to the Island Series, and episodes should be shorter but posted weekly (hopefully), just short fun bits or observations.
Why?
‘Cause it’s good to try something new instead of just doing the same thing over and over. (Also I’ve kinda crippled myself working 14 hour days for 20 years sitting at a desk, so it'll help balance out recovering from decades of physical atrophy.)
Aside from that—just have fun with it.
If you’re wondering what’s going to happen with the current series, that'll be around as well. So when certain topics/rants need a venue, that’s where they’ll be. Other than that—back to work! Let’s see what happens!
Neurotically Yours: The Original Season 5 is now available in HD as a digital download on GUMROAD and ITCH.IO.
(And yes, it includes those episodes that were pulled from YT.)
Neurotically Yours: The Original Season 4 is now available in HD as a digital download on GUMROAD and ITCH.IO.

Thanks to everyone who has supported the series over the years. It’s been a long road, and I’m still walking it. 🖤
