“By the end, it gives me a further appreciation of life” is one of my favourite things a reader could say about my work #comicsky

Usagi Yojimbo!

Rooting for my American friends, none of this is okay

Inking concept pages for a new story #comicsky

Putting some sample pages together for a thing

Colouring some backer sketches for fun! #moonknight

I've always considered "style" a limitation of technique instead of piling on new ones. Here's a Substack post breaking it down with old pages I've never shared #comicsky shawndaley.substack.com

Moon Knight 🌙

I’d love to do a beetlejuice comic some day, soooo… Beetlejuice comic Beetlejuice comic Beetlejuice comic

One of my favourite aspects of Dragon Ball is the covers. This vol is all fights and explosions so let’s put a fishing trip on the cover. Just peak

As you can see, I’ve been very busy today

Spawn!

The hardest thing in a OGN pitch is the one-pager. Outline? No prob. Logline? You got it. But one-pagers are just the entire thing boiled down to its essence, and then reduced to even less despite needing to encompass everything

"Fantastic, bombastic... this was a tense story that builds on the themes of Space Ghost and the universe he protects." And thanks to @comics.3millionyears.co.uk for the great review of SPACE GHOST VOL. 2 #7, in comics shops NOW! comics.3millionyears.co.uk/p/review-spa...
