This seems like the right time to post this piece from three years ago. Who knew I should’ve added an orange nemesis as the sidekick to the red Putin skull? #ukraine #zelensky #putin #trumpisanidiot #putinstartedthewar #captainukraine #peaceinukraine #merkasylum #merkanaut #canadiancomicartist

Excited to announce that @merkanaut.bsky.social @justinallec807.bsky.social and I have received funding for our graphic novel about Silver Islet from the Ontario Arts Council. We are grateful for the opportunity and support to Northern Artists. Thanks as well to local MPP @lisevaugeois.bsky.social

With the Fantastic Four trailer coming tomorrow, thought I would share some FF art I’ve made through #thelineitisdrawn from #cbr . Suess is a fave. Inspired by fellow liner @rltpress.bsky.social #merkart #merk #fantasticfour #canadiancomicartist #merkasylum #drsuess #drsuessquotes #oobleck

Looks like tariffs are happening…. From the Americans to their biggest trading partner (and everyone else apparently 🤷‍♂️) . It’s like deliberately picking a fight with your best friend. 🤦‍♂️. This is not going to go well for ANYBODY. #americawhatareyoudoing #trump #canada #westandonguard #ustariffs

I’m a big masters of the universe fan. Especially skeletor. Sometimes I draw serious…Sometimes not so much.

His true face shows. The hate. The lies. The monster. And it’s only day 5. #Trump #DonaldTrump #DonaldTrumpIsAMonster #americafalls #cthulhu #merkart
