A few pages from the Star Wars High Republic Annual drawn back in 2021! Crash and Crew Do What They Do, written by Daniel Jose Older.

Ballpoint pen sketchbook doodles.

I was sorting my zines this AM and I found this gem—early work from @jesselonergan.bsky.social! I would have picked this up at Maine Comic Arts Fest in 2012, I believe, not knowing that I was meeting a future favourite creator of mine.

Jesse Lonergan @jesselonergan.bsky.social

Added a bunch of commissions to the commission section on my website. www.jesselonergan.com/commissions

My covers for Speed Racer 6 and 7 have been revealed! And if you’re thinking, those kind of look like they connect, they do! And I’ll be doing three more! Coming from @madcavestudios.com, @peposed.bsky.social, Davide Tinto, Jão Canola and Buddy Beaudoin.

I can help with that — covers for SPEED RACER #6 and #7 by Alessio Zonno and @jesselonergan.bsky.social!

I used to use regular brushes, but I’ve found brush pens work just as well, are more durable and are less messy. The Pentel Fude is one of the cheaper real brush pens, at around $7. I swap out the ink and use Platinum Carbon Black because I’m impatient and it dries fast which means I smudge less.

Xenomorph. Pentel Fude brush pen with Platinum Carbon Ink, watercolors, stamp pads and rollers.

Some recent comics I’ve read/reread/enjoyed/plan to steal ideas from. Cry Wolf Girl by Ariel Slamet Ries Funeral Parlor by Robert Young Will Eisner - A Comics Biography by Stephen Weiner and Dan Mazur Captivity by Xiang Yata

We’re going wide in this next issue of Miss Truesdale and the Rise of Man! So many spreads in issue 3! FOC is tomorrow (2/2)! From @mikemignola.bsky.social Clem Robins and myself, published by @darkhorse.com

Can anyone think of examples of this sort of (apologies for my phrasing) Klimt thing being done in comics?

Slink, we’ll meet her in Kymera…eventually.

Skinny Brains and All.

Best comic Chris and Jake have done!

Some of the movies I’ve enjoyed recently. I’ve been on a bit of an old and foreign kick of late. Mostly watched as the film makers intended: incrementally while riding an exercise bike.

One of my favorite online places is comicbookplus.com which has tons and tons of golden age public domain comics to read for free. Some of the best and most wonderfully weird stuff around. I’ve spent hours on the site. Stardust, Fantomah, Blue Bolt, Black Terror, original Daredevil, Dynamite Thor

What @jesselonergan.bsky.social is doing in this book is something extraordinary. I get lost in these pages and there is something happening with time and space across these panels that I, in my long comic reading life have never seen quite done this way before and it's nothing short of magical.

Big Wolf or Small Person?

An extremely fun recent piece I got to do of Red from @jesselonergan.bsky.social's DROME Acrylic ink, gouache, stamps

Naruto commission from last year.

Is there a name for this kind of song, where it starts very sparse, but then steadily instruments are added? youtu.be/ktOxjeOiIaU?... (Danka Schoen would be another example)(also if you can think of others share them because it always works for me)

One shelf of the ever growing to-be-read pile. I saw people’s year-end lists of books and wondered how people read so much! I feel like I just barely chip away.

Did you know I have a Patreon where I post pages from whatever solo comic I’m working on (the current thing being my surrealistic romp, Panda Delivery Service)(shown below)? Did you know that all of Drome was posted this way? And it’s only a buck? www.patreon.com/jesselonergan

A favorite non-comic art book I own, Paris-New York-Shanghai by Hans Eijkelboom. Actually three books in one connected accordion style (so you can see them all side by side)(too long too photograph!), with lots of photos of daily life in the three cities. Great for reference and faces.

Sometimes I come up with good titles for drawings. For this one all I came up with was Taco Fish.

Hooray the new @jesselonergan.bsky.social is here hooray

Top of the stack today, just got in @jesselonergan.bsky.social's Faster. @bulgilhanpress.com did a fantastic job with the printing and it's a lovely piece of visual storytelling.

“I see grids dissolving, panels bleeding into one another...It works almost like a soundtrack.” @comictropes.bsky.social picks DROME by @jesselonergan.bsky.social, published by @23rdstbooks.bsky.social, as the Best Comic of 2025. Listen to him & others: cbccpodcast.podbean.com/e/the-stampi...

Some of my favorite pages from Arca in 2023. Page 22 - that elevator sequence on the right Page 33 - the way Graves (the dude) moves a step over to the left with each tier Page 37 - the line of the ball, toss, serve, return Page 52 - eyeballs W- Van Jensen, C - Patricio Delpeche, L - Nathan Widick.

Sketchbook doodles for a Pied Piper type character that hasn’t quite come together. I used to do a lot of finished pieces in my sketchbook, but they’ve really become more of a work tool in the last few years. I’ll get enough down to so that I’ve got a visual note, and that will be about it.

A couple of my favorite spreads (semi-spreads?) from Miss Truesdale and the Rise of Man Issue 1. The first follows Yassa as she wanders her new world and also her lives to come. The second has that evil snake showing the forest guy what’s to come if Yassa lives. Issue 2 hits shops January 21st.

One of my favorite tools is the Micron 08, and I only use it for inking panel borders. I always start with the borders. On this page I did a little inking of some elements in advance because they broke the panel borders.

We named DROME by @jesselonergan.bsky.social, and published by @23rdstbooks.bsky.social, the Best Original Graphic Novel of 2025. Listen to #TheStampies (Part Two) to hear our other faves from the year: cbccpodcast.podbean.com/e/the-stampi...
