old Batman commission

Tickets for Daniel Donato’s Cosmic Country in San Antonio next month were buy one get one, so I got 2 tickets for $35 and those are the most reasonable concert tickets I’ve bought in a decade.

Very sad to see that we have lost Catherine O’Hara. RIP Legend.

Been a bit quiet since getting back from Japan-been buried in commissions, cover work and a few other projects that have kept my head down and my pencil mileage high. OAX is just a few weeks away and hopefully, I’ll have a mini-drop ready for that.

Man I was doing my best not to care but this new Apple IPhone update sucks shit.

This machine yub nubs fascists.

Burgh noodling. Big fan of nooks. And crannies.

Dang another concert announcement I’m excited about and my year is already filling up. Plans for Widespread Panic, Daniel Donato, St. Paul & the Broken Bones, Dave Matthews Band, and now The Black Crowes all before June. 🤘 🤘 🤘

I'm opening commissions for the first time in forever. If you sign up for my email newsletter, you can be the first to get the link when it goes out tomorrow. www.mistercrook.com/newsletter

A couple of recent commissions. The clock is ticking on pre-show commissions for OAX in February! You can holler at me here, or ComicArtFans.com

My kid just randomly started singing YMCA then rolled that into a What Would You DooOOoo for a Klondike Bar?

Ghosts II • pencil on paper

Every original drawing in my store is 26% off til the end of the month. The code is “ORIGINAL2026” bensears.bigcartel.com/category/ori...

A couple of traditionally rendered images of Muppet greats, Dr Teeth and Animal. Fun and refreshing having done digital work for the better part of my day to day.

“Put O parts firsty” I too speak like a 6 year old, because I have a 6 year old.

I suppose this may be crazy person behavior but as my all time fav, I’m okay with that. All of these were purchased on release from Mondo. Black, Dino DNA, Dilophosaurus, and Amber vinyl from 2013, and the red & yellow splatter from 2018. Amber is my fav. Black gets spun. #collect #vinyl #records

Introduce yourself with 5 concerts you’ve been to: Widespread Panic (70ish times) The Black Crowes ZZ Topp Billy Strings Snoop Dogg (And probably a hundred others)

Needed a good chuckle. Got this one spinning on the turntable right now. An all time great comedy with a glorious original soundtrack performed brilliantly by John C. Reilly. Walk hard, boys. #vinyl #records #NowSpinning #WalkHard

From a sketch in my sketchbook, to a pencilled page, then an inked one, to the final, published page.

Coming along. Enjoy your weekend

These were the inks for that Caroline Munro piece I posted earlier... it was so long ago that I did it, I had completely forgotten that I had inked the clouds in the sky but I deleted than when I came to do the colouring...

I know it's an eerie and dark time in the world right now but I hope this one makes you smile. I drew this before Bob passed but I'm definitely thinking about him today. ❤

Hey it’s Friday, here’s some art. This neat little original is called Leaving the Plateau by artist Justin Santora. Picked this one up at the Mondo House Party in 2016. I miss those House Party shows. They were a blast. #art #original #mondo

Jean Grey as the Black Queen, a personal fave who I have been trying to draw well for twenty years

🤔🤔🤔

Annual restock has arrived. I will be opening my shop in the next week and hope to have several preorders available to support Minneapolis fight back against the masked thugs in uniform terrorizing our communities. Please keep an eye out for the reopening and these important releases.

Which album needs a vinyl reissue in 2026?

Things are kinda rough out there so here is some art. This one has proudly hung in our house for about a decade now. “Like Cain Roaming the Earth” by @toddslaterart.bsky.social #art #screenprint

I’ve made two phone calls today. Please clap.

Got my son a skateboard for his birthday and so far (one day) both of us and my wife have all busted ass. The skateboard is a perfect 3/3.

take a moment to breathe you owe yourself that much

Happy 1/1! As is tradition I will share the only 1/1 card I’ve ever pulled. This Cal Ripken Jr auto from the Topps “The Road to 2131” limited set. #topps #collect #happynewyear

Time to post some art? Here's a few commissions i did in 2025: X-Edition!!

This was my favorite alternative movie poster released this year (that I saw). The Invisible Man (variant) on foil paper by Martin Ansin. Released through CODA and Sideshow at a gallery show in Austin. #art #screenprint

I have collected a lot of artwork over the years and have an especially solid collection of Mondo posters from about 2014 to 2020. I have many “favorites” but this is always in competition for the #1 spot. Back to the Future part II by Laurent Durieux. #Mondo #Art #Screenprint

I think this is a look Spidey should adapt maybe. #spiderman

Had a very vinyl Christmas over here. Pumped to have these Daniel Donato albums. The Bloc Party anniversary repress sounds awesome. First saw Keller Williams at ACL fest in like 2003. Got to see him again a few weeks ago here at Antone’s in Austin. Happy to have this album with SCI. #vinyl #music
