If you haven't noticed, I'm working on another book "Merry Chrissy and the After Christmas Awakening", sequel to "Merry Chrissy and the Naughty or Nice Truth". It is a middle grade children's novel with all the writing AND illustrations done by yours truly. A lot of the major milestones have been completed, but editing and proofreading still need to be done. Expect for it to be released later this year during the holiday season. You can receive updates and learn more by going to this link.

Keep in mind, this is a direct sequel to Merry Chrissy. I strongly suggest reading the first book as it refers to events from that installment.
In personal news, I recently returned back from California for vacation. It was exciting and exhausting. I visited two cities; San Francisco and Los Angeles. In LA, I mostly hanged out at Disneyland and D23 Expo. As a huge Disney fan, there is nothing like visiting Walts original kingdom. I'm an east coaster who is a former Disney Cast Member at Disney World years ago and the magic of Disney truly is a big part of me (and my art!)
As I said before, I'm not going to table at any cons this year. Next year...maybe. I'm attending NYCC just for funsies this year...and probably years after that. Hate to be pessimistic, but I have no chance of getting a table there...YET.
In the coming days, you may notice some changes to my account. No, I'm not leaving DA, but some older deviations that do not conform to my standards will eventually be removed, including some fanart.
I'm on Twitter, Pinterest and Tumblr and ronaldhennessy.com as always.

First update since 2017. A new project revealed!
So, it's been about two years since I posted on DeviantArt. The last time, it was to plug my final "Merry Chrissy" title (which still all 3 books are still available btw #shamelessplug). It took me about 4 years to write AND draw those 3 books. So, after all of that, I did practically...nothing. A short break from working on a creative project was all that was needed to rejuvenate my creative juices. Two years later, with a year or so alone with planning, I have returned back to the world of Maddie Mckenszie...and Margaret too. It's NOT a picture book. It’s NO novel series and I don't really prefer the label "for kids" or even "all ages" either (Even though it REALLY is for ALL AGES.) It’s a webcomic. In 2019. Introducing "Maddie and Margaret", the slice of life comic about two sisters. That's as simple as you can get. If you really want to make it less simple intro, here it goes. The webcomic follows the daily lives of two sisters, 5-year old Maddie Mckenszie and 11-year old
2015
2014 was quite a crazy, yet normal year for me. Sure, I spent much of my free time working on my first novel, and attended 4 cons (My 14th straight year of attending at least 1 convention), but largely it was drama and controversy free. Maybe being busy with work and projects is good, but I still look to improve other aspects of my life. I'm not a big fan of New Years Resolutions and I'm certainly not a fan of avoiding what needs to be taken care of, but let's put it in these simple words: there are other personal issues I need to address. As I'm a very private person, I wish not to discuss them at this time.
That doesn't mean I'm going to t
The book #naughtyornice has a new title.
It took 8 months to get to this stage. What was once a NaNoWriMo project turned into something bigger and badder. I still have a long way to go until it's finished, but it's getting closer to realization.
The project is no longer known as #naughtyornice.
From here on, it will be referred to this name:Merry Chrissy and the Naughty or Nice Truth.
A prototype printed paperback version. Artwork not final.
9-year old Chrissy Deigh is obsessed with all things Christmas. She love Christmas so much, she spreads her Christmas cheer year round. While her Mother and grownups tolerate it, her classmates tease her endlessly. On one fateful day, a myste
Update: HARD HAT AREA! BOOK CONSTRUCTION AHEAD!
Another periodical update HARD HAT AREA! BOOK CONSTRUCTION AHEAD!
This is what I would describe what I'm doing art wise. The novel that I'm writing, code named "Naughty or Nice" is coming together quite nicely. It's in it's 3rd revision. Compared to the first revision, it has been a much easier time fixing things. Of course, you still have your spelling errors here and there that get corrected, but you can't find everything wrong at one go for a novel that is currently at 62,000 words. To give you a comparison, the first "Harry Potter" novel is 76,944 words long, so I don't expect to reach that amount. I expect to finish up the writing somet
