What movie do you consider “perfect?

I try not to be political on my social media but then find myself wondering why no one seems to be paying attention to Adriana Smith

I saw a comment saying how Norah Horwitz accomplished so much in editing at such a young age, but she was so prolific, dynamic, and confident, even just from the couple years I knew her as a still teenaged intern at Marvel, almost two decades ago. I am completely saddened by the news of her death.

I spit on your feelings of imposter syndrome, mine are real

I also love oversharing but hate having overshared and both are so bad

And I also hate about myself that I am aware of my follower count on this app being 1998.

I have a store signing in an hour and I hate the idea of no one showing up, and I hate the idea of a lot of people showing up. I hate that I hate that. I hate that my day is going to depend on what others think of the work that I do and I hate that in the end, to the world, I am only my work.

I feel like I spend most of my art-consuming life chasing comic books that make me forget that I make comic books

When I hear talk of pie I am always disappointed when it turns out it’s about pizza

I think I like devs more than severance because it’s like a quadruple shot of espresso to severance’s venti caramel macchiato that also has four shots of espresso

watched severance and my theory is there will never be a season 3 and there was never going to be and in my mind that’s perfect

Once right a music producer gave another producer the rights to use his voice as featured on a track As a sample on a new song For free and uncredited Without knowing how it would be used It was him saying right about now & The funk soul brother Never provide free labor On anything sold for profit

Posting my thoughts on the culture that created that AI Studio Ghibli filter would only add to that culture

We’re not in indiocracy we’re in Brazil

what are we even doing

Watching severance for the first time while reminding myself that it’s perfectly okay that there are people who couldn’t get past the first episode of The Wire because they were annoyed by Dominic West’s Baltimore accent

Do you know what was a waste? Boom! shouldn’t have just marketed that Keanu Reeves writes comic books, but that Keanu Reeves READS comic books

Once I saw that pro basketball is watching adults get paid to put a bouncy ball into an orange hoop I couldn’t unsee it but just like that when someone in the US tells someone speaking Spanish to speak English I can’t unsee them saying don’t speak that colonizer language speak my colonizer language

Color pencils or colored pencils

On my last flight home I wrote a pitch/first draft for a comic adaptation of my childhood favorite cartoon On this flight home I just now wrote a pitch/first draft of an Ultimate book for my favorite Marvel character I will likely never show either to anyone but it’s fun imagining being a writer

People freaking out over the severus snape casting meanwhile legit 99.7% of the cast of venom 3 is English actors doing American accents and no one bats an eye I genuinely think wolverine could be played by an Asian actor. If Robert Pattinson can be Batman I think Steven Yeun could be wolverine.

Just watched gladiator 2. It felt exactly like a movie called gladiator 2

You underestimate our collective ability to deny the undeniable if it makes us look too hard at ourselves, after all the primary audience of all our performative actions and words is ourselves. Rest assured the vipers can’t believe anything other than their own victory, their survival depends on it.

The commission request was leeloo from fifth element

I’m often asked which character I love to draw but the thing is drawing 100 images of a character and drawing 20 5-panel pages of that character are two totally different things. One’s like thanksgiving dinner, the other’s like dessert for breakfast

I like how I did the wrist straps on gambit’s coat. I hate how I forgot to do a shadow of rogue’s jacket on gambit’s right sleeve, or make it clearer her left sleeve is rolled up. Also I should have softened rogue’s hip so people don’t think I purposely starved her. Also gambit’s head is too big

I’ve been doing these ballpoint pen commissions at conventions on 11x17 and have been enjoying doing them a lot more. I’ve also been charging for all signatures at shows, unless they’re personalized in which case they’re always free, and was pleasantly surprised by so many personalization requests.

Did this headsketch in my sketchbook on the plane, which led me to do this more finished piece as a commission. What is it that’s so freeing about doodling in a sketchbook that tightens and stiffens up when you do it for money

“Superman is the champion of the oppressed.”

youtu.be/nOhDW_xIDdI?... behold the amazing @mikechoi.bsky.social artwork/commission collection. This is goals for any comic fan.

youtu.be/HyBP_fmTswg?... We had such a great time interviewing @mikechoi.bsky.social at Terrificon 2024 that we invited him on again and he agreed! It was an amazing hour talking about his career, art and his perspective on things.

youtu.be/me2n8_1gm3Q?... Getting to interview artist extraordinare @mikechoi.bsky.social was amazing. I've met him before as I've been a fan for a while but he was so chill, good humored, and a great conversationalist who continues to do amazing work. Please check him out and support his work ASAP.

A 9”x12” convention commissioned acrylic portrait of catwoman

Major retailer using AI art for its Christmas card is disappointing as hell.

I’ll be honest, I saw all the characters including the dog and was wondering if it would be accessible to people who didn’t know, but the dude sprung a walking tree and talking raccoon to an unsuspecting audience and made it work so what do I know

I’m sorry there’s a super DOG??

I’m a huge collector of slabbed comics but I only buy things I like looking at and never for spec. Buying things on spec is basically hoping to get paid for storing shit in my house and I just do not have the space

I think there should be an elseworlds story where Superman’s son has no powers. I think that the natural progression of that story would be something that people either relate to or absolutely hate.

Field of Dreams is the best baseball movie but is not a sports movie Bull Durham is also a great baseball movie that is not a sports movie For Love of the Game is both but not great The best sports movie that isn’t technically a sports movie but is SO a sports movie is Searching For Bobby Fischer

Don’t know if this was anyone else but growing up in Hong Kong meant that I found out about the challenger disaster through punky brewster and ONLY through punky brewster

I think my favorite band of all time might actually be The B-52’s

I don’t know why some comic readers resent the collectible aspect of comics. Variants don’t affect the readability of books at all, and in many instances help fund their existence (I used to hate the retailer incentive aspect until I learned that retailers themselves don’t have a problem with them.)

I am always amazed when I meet an aspiring comic artist who tells me that they don’t read comics Even if it’s true why are you telling me that

I’m hard to shop for because I buy everything I want for myself and most of it is art and no one really knows what I want except me like who knew that this would be the highlight of my 2024 acquisitions

A sketch I did on the plane. This is a microcosm of what I think is wrong with much of my artwork. I focus so much on making things look competent that I forget to make it interesting. It’s supposed to be the Hulk but man it’s a boring ass Hulk. The Adjectiveless Hulk

Welcome

Some commissions I did in Singapore

I was thumbing through my first X-men issue that someone brought me and I had douchechills because I don’t know if I was stepping on toes only a couple years into my career but Bobby turning into iceman wasn’t in the script, I just drew it. I thought I was such hot shit and that I knew everything.
