Learning to color [email protected] was kind enough to allow me to practice on some of their art. Step one-I have done the base flat colors to work off of. Also, I am attempting a textured paper look based on Jordie Bellaire’s coloring of the ‘23 Birds of Prey series

Comicbooks are the art of the people. Rather than sitting on a wall behind glass or in a frame it’s in your hands.

Been really working hard to produce a higher quality of finish in my pages and it’s been paying off. The Strider is looking good.

In the process of selling my house and moving all my stuff is packed up. Music has pretty much become my primary source of entertainment and it has been exquisite.

Wild to see people making various generations of Spidey movies a competition. Liking one of them somehow makes them smarter than everyone else. Joyless way to be.

Stunning work.

I’m better at making comics than crowd funding them. Need to balance those skills out.

In case you missed it too…I was genuinely gobsmacked by this. While searching my name on social media to thank Kickstarter backers, I realised I’d somehow missed this lovely write-up from Bleeding Cool saying publishers should hire me. Very flattered 🫶 bleedingcool.com/comics/matt-...

Just 69 hours to go. This is the time to load up and jump in! Help us out.

It really feels like there is no path to the direct market for non established indie creators. Wish there was.

Making The Strider is so fulfilling. Issue 3 almost done. Handful of pages and a couple covers to go. Comics are the best. 😁🤘✍️✏️🖋️ #comicbook #art #draw

Woke up to being being 70% funded!!! Thank you to everyone for spreading the word!!!

What if Hellboy and One Punch Man vibes were packed into a space western? 4 pages to go on The Strider issue 3. 😁✍️✏️🖋️🤘 #comicbook #art #draw

Tatjana Wood is as important to Swamp Thing lore as any writer or artist. One of the highest honors of my career was to be colored by her for my time on that title.

11 pages to go on the current issue. Far enough in that counting down is more fun. Comics are the best. ✍️✏️🖋️😁 #comicbook #art #draw

Sketchbook filled. Learned so much in this little book. Onto the next.

After a tough last year I’m drawing 10 issues this year. Unless an opportunity arises it will all be stuff I’ve written as well. I’m 16 pages into the latest Strider issue.

16 pages into issue 3 of The Strider. This book makes me happy. 😁✍️✏️🖋️🤘 #comicbook #draw
