EnglishRecent News and Announcements on Doug TenNapel's Official Site
Updated
The official site, tennapel.com, currently highlights four recent items: TenNapel's contribution as one of the artists to This Book May Explode!, album art he illustrated for Brandon Carswell's 110, his appearance on Man Rampant to discuss God and Earthworm Jim, and an episode of MAKERS featuring him. These are the updates listed under the site's "News and Announcements" heading.
The Four Featured Updates
1. Contributor to This Book May Explode!
TenNapel is one of the artists contributing to This Book May Explode!, described on the site as an action-packed, bi-monthly book "bursting with original stories, wild comics, and creative activities for kids and their grown-ups." This is the most recent item listed and points to ongoing work in children's publishing, a category the site also lists alongside his comics and entertainment work.
2. Album Art for 110 by Brandon Carswell
TenNapel illustrated the album art for 110 by Brandon Carswell. The site directs readers to check it out on Spotify under "110 Brandon Carswell." If you want to see the artwork in context, that streaming listing is the entry point the site itself provides.
3. Man Rampant: "God and Earthworm Jim"
TenNapel sat down with Doug Wilson for an episode of Man Rampant Season 6. According to the site's description, the conversation covers his experience as a Christian in the art world, being "exiled from the big league for his faith," and his work as an independent artist and political commentator on YouTube. The site frames this as a discussion of both his career history and his current independent path.
4. MAKERS Episode 1
The site features TenNapel in Episode 1 of MAKERS, with a quote attributed to him: "I wanted to bring truth goodness and beauty into Hollywood through my books and influence the story. Little did I know, that is not exactly what happens." The episode appears to focus on his experience pursuing that goal in Hollywood.

How to Follow These Updates
The site offers a mailing list signup for "exclusive offers, news and more," which is the most direct way to catch future announcements. The page also links to sections for Comic Books, Entertainment, Video Games, Television, Film, Children's Publishing, Music, and Shop, so you can browse related work by category rather than relying only on the news list.
One practical note: the announcements page names the projects and, in the album case, a streaming destination, but it does not provide direct links for the Man Rampant or MAKERS videos. To watch those, you would need to search for the episode titles ("Man Rampant | God and Earthworm Jim | Doug TenNapel" and "MAKERS| Episode 1 | Doug TenNapel") on the platform where they are published.
Context: Who These Updates Are About
The site describes TenNapel as an American comic book artist, TV show developer, and writer, and credits him as creator of Earthworm Jim, The Neverhood, Catscratch, and Bigfoot Bill. It also notes he is the author and illustrator of more than 20 graphic novels, including Earthworm Jim The Comic, Bigfoot Bill, Nnewts, Creature Tech, Earthboy Jacobus, and Monster Zoo, and that he hosts the Doug in Exile show. The recent announcements fit that profile: a children's publishing contribution, commercial illustration work, and interviews about his career and independent direction.
