Round 2 of Fallcon 2025 drops with Me and mini me @jimkeefe.bsky.social @zandercannon.bsky.social @tedlyanderson.bsky.social @danieljayolson.bsky.social @paulwall612.bsky.social

Sleep by writer and artist Zander Cannon from Image Comics is a tense monster tale that never shows the monster.

I put together this Speed Racer over a couple of streams this week. Kind of a quick piece, but fun. I think I may have drawn this character once in my life. #comics #speedracer #mach5 #comicsketchcover #madcavestudios

The request was for Man-Thing on a Swamp-Thing cover. I feel that Marvel is really dropping the ball by not putting out a Man-Thing sketch cover. I mean, just do a Giant-Size reprint or something! #manthjng #swampthing #comics #blanksketchcover #marvel

If I were to start an X-Mem team I’d start with this group right here and add in Wolverine, Storm, and Magneto. So, basically the “80s Magneto is the headmaster of the school” Claremont run with Magik all grown up. #comics #blankcomiccover #magik #xmen #marvel

The flip side to the last Spidey cover I did. I had to use a Posca paint marker to get this blue color. I’m not a fan of the Posca plastic tips, so I was kind of grumpy having to use it. But, it was the right call and the color worked out well. #comics #blankcomiccover #spidey #spiderman #marvel

Finished product. Had to use acrylic markers to paint over the circle that is printed on this book, which worked better than I’d thought. I switched to the Sharpie brand from Posca, because it has a better flow and the brush tips are easier on the paper. ##conics #blankcomiccover #spiderman #marvel

Progress so far on an ASM #301 commission. I’ve been asked to do a #301 and #300 homage. I prefer how John Romita did the webbing on Spidey’s suit, so I’m using that as inspiration instead of McFarlane’s webbing. #comics #blankcomiccover #spidey #spiderman #marvel

Finished the Ahsoka piece last night. Well, nearly finished. I have to clean up the light red background tonight, but close enough! #comics #comiccover #sketchcomiccover #starwars #ahsoka #clonewars

Been busy at work on my book and haven’t had much time outside of my streams to work on commissions. However, I did manage to get started on this one on Tuesday. Hoping to finish it all up, including colors, tonight. #comics #sketchcover #starwars #ahsoka

Finished this back cover last night. It’s Kraven dressed as Spidey from the famous Kraven’s Last Hunt story. I had to use three different colors to come away with the right shade for the sky. #comics #sketchcover #blankcomiccover #spidey #spiderman #kraven #marvel

Last night my kids wanted to draw together. My oldest is really interested in learning more about anatomy, so I sat down and gave her a quick lesson. It was pretty fun! While they were doing quick figure drawings I doodled in this sketch book. #art #familytime #sketchbook

Aaaaannnnd….done. Not the first time working on black paper with colored pencils, but probably the best work I’ve done on it. This is an homage to the classic Mike Zeck Amazing Spidey #294 cover. #comics #blankcomiccover #spiderman #spidey #kraven #marvel

Surprised myself last night as I completed this Jo e Fixit version of the Incredible Hulk in just a few hours. I typically work pretty slow, so I was hyped that I got it done so quickly. #comics #blankcover #joefixit #hulk #marvel

I re-read Grommets last night by @remender.bsky.social, Brian Posehn, @blitzcadet.bsky.social, and Moreno Donisio (this time on @globalcomix.com — don’t worry I bought the books too!) Loved the story, nostalgia, art, all of it, basically. I was so mad there wasn’t another panel at the end.

Last week I posted about how my graphic novel, Swerved reached 1,000 views in four months. One week later the views doubled. I don’t know why this is happened, but I thank you all. If you’re interested in giving it a read go and check it out on @globalcomix.com #comics #graphicnovels #globalcomix

A little work in progress. An homage to the classic Mike Zeck cover, but using Spidey’s black suit to work more like the PS Spidey video game. I don’t work on non-white paper often, but the Prismacolor colored pencils sure make it fun. #comics #sketchcomic #spidey #spiderman #kraven #marvel

I’ll be streaming on Whatnot tonight for the Artist Raid Train at 9 PM CT for 20 mins. I have a few sketches for bidding (check the pics) & some other goodies too! Check the Linktree in my bio for more info. See ya then! #comics #sketchcards #battlebeast #popeye #superman #flash #dccomics

This is the back to the Batman Hush 2 cover that I did a week or so ago. It’s Harley’s crew from the HBO Max show! Clayface, King Shark and Frank the Plant! #conics #sketchcomics #sketchcards #harleyquinn #dccomics

Here’s a recent cover I did for fun. I like how the bolts coming off of the Flash turned out. I went for an Ed McGuinness style Supes here, but it didn’t turn out as I’d hoped. This will be available this Sunday on Whatnot @ 9 PM CT. #comics #sketchcards #flash #superman #dccomics #fanart

Want to hear something nuts? I put my graphic novel, Swerved, up on Global Comix earlier this year. I hopped on yesterday to read some books and saw a notification. It has 1,000 views! That book was a labor of love. globalcomix.com/c/swerved #comics #indiecomics #wrestling #sliceoflife

Here is a Nightwing and Batgirl piece I’ve been working on. Still a few things I’d like to try and go back to. For instance, I forgot to add her eye color. This is a part of the “Tea Party” series that @thelasthometown has been putting together. #comics #sketchcover #nightwing #batgirl #dccomics

I finally did a Battle Beast cover! Here he is in all his glory fighting Allen the Alien! I also remembered to take pics throughout the process. I think I still have four of these blank covers left. #comics #sketchcards #battlebeast #invincible #allenthealien #skyboundentertainment #imagecomics

Finished this one yesterday. I have fond memories of Popeye. The earliest of which was the Atari video game. I tried playing that game at an arcade recently and damn it is still pretty tough. #comics #comiccovers #popeye #eyeliepopeye #massivepublishing

Black Widow sketch card. Copic marker, micron pens. #sketchcard #comics #blackwidow #avengers #marvel

I don’t typically do sports requests, but this was too hard to pass up. I think the composition is well done, but I think I could have done a little better with Ant’s face. If more sports requests come about I’m sure it’ll look a bit better. #timberwolves #nba #sports #basketball #art #sportsart

Dazzler, the X-Men’s resident pop-star. I kinda rushed through this one and would like to give her a bit more time sometime. Copic markers, micron pens. #sketchcards #dazzler #xmen #comics #marvel

Ultimate Spidey 2000 x Ultimate Spidey 2024-25. I love captions on the front of books. In this one to high lying the over 20 year gap between the two characters. #comics #sketchcomics #sketchcard #spidey #ultimatespiderman #marvel

Finished this cover last night. Serpentor vs Cobra Commander. The back cover is going to have a sweet Destro vs Baroness design. I’m going to go back to incorporating more pure black shadows into my work, like on Serpentor face. #comics #sketchcover #sketchcard #gijoe #cobra #imagecomics

X-23, Wolverine’s “cloned daughter”. Micron pens, Copic markers and Bristol 2.5 x 3.5 paper. #sketchcard #comics #x23 #wolverine #xmen #marvel

Hoping to finish the color on this guy tonight during my stream. #comics #blankcover #gijoe #serpentor #cobracommander #imagecomics #skybound

Emma Frost sketch card. Micron, Copic markers on Strathmore Bristol. #sketchcard #comics #emmafrost #whitequeen #xmen #marvel

A couple of older indie sketch cards from last night’s stream. Mr. Monster and Dalgoda. I’d never even heard of the book Dalgoda prior to doing this. I’m now going to have to check it out. #sketchcard #comics #mrmonster #dalgoda #fantagraphics #darkhorse

Forbush Man! One of the visitors of my last Artist Raid train won this giveaway. It was a fun, quirky piece to do. #sketchcard #cómics #forbushman #marvel

Here’s a Sue Storm (aka Invisible Woman) sketch card. Copic marker, Sakura Micron pens, and pencil on card sized Bristol board. #sketchcard #comics #invisiblewoman #suestorm #fantasticfour #marvel

Just some old Space Ghost sketch cards that I did 15 years ago. Moltar, Brak, and Zorak. #sketchcards #spaceghost #cartoonnetwork #cartoons

Finished one side of this guy up. Spidey and Vulture from the PlayStation games. #sketchcard #comics #spidey #spiderman #vulture #marvel

Some sketch cards from this week. Joker, Wolverine, and Spider-Woman. #sketchcards #comics #joker #batman #wolverine #xmen #spiderwoman #avengers #marvel #dccomics

Finished this comic “sketch” cover last night. This baby will be up for grabs tonight during my artist raid train slot at 9 PM CT over on Whatnot (check my Linktree in the bio). I’ll also be auctioning off some sketch cards. #comics #blankcomic #sketchcover #spiderman #spidey #marvel

And… @mudthrone.bsky.social @jayersdraws.bsky.social @paulwall612.bsky.social @danieljayolson.bsky.social @bdepillis.bsky.social And LOTS LOTS more!

Saturday is Springcon! Stop over at the Education Building at the MN state fairgrounds. So much amazing talent including: @bivensjohn.bsky.social @zandercannon.bsky.social @umurrayhusted.bsky.social @davewonder.bsky.social @tomnguyenstudio.bsky.social @tedlyanderson.bsky.social www.mncba.org

First convention in over ten years! I’m very excited about reconnecting with a bunch of people and meeting new folks too! I’ll be hanging out with all the swell folks from the World Monster HQ studio. See ya there!

This was a fun mashup. Courage the Cowardly Dog, MF Doom and Dr. Doom. #sketchcard #comics #couragethrcowardlydog #mfdoom #doctordoom #doom #marvel

War Machine (aka James Rhodes) sketch card. Ink, copic markers and colored pencils. #sketchcard #comics #warmachine #avengers #marvel

Going to be doing some inks on this during my stream tonight. Feel free to stop by at 9 PM on Whatnot. #sketchcards #comics #sketchcomic #comicblank #spiderman #spidey #marvel

DOOM! I’m very much looking forward to the inclusion of the Fantastic Four and all of their related characters into the MCU, but none moreso than Doctor Doom. Very interested to see what direction they’ll go with this character. #sketchcard #comics #doctordoom #doom #fantasticfour #marvel

Black Cat sketch card using inks, Copic markers, and colored pencils. #sketchcard #comics #blackcat #spidey #marvel

Another card for the Funbeard/Collectabeessketch sketchcard collection. I feel like this is a “go-to” pose for me when including two characters on a sketchcard. It’s really difficult to do two, because of the limited amount of room on a 2.5 x 3.5 card. #sketchcard #cómics #spidey #spiderman #docock

One of the cards I made for Funbeard/Collectabeessketch card collection. I always love putting captions on the cards. I feel it just adds a little something to them, y’know? #sketchcard #cómics #venom #deadpool #marvel

Just read Sleep #1 by Zander Cannon and Wow! This debut issue is a slow-burn, establishing a creepy tone as the black-and-white art with splashes of red enhances the unsettling atmosphere. If you are a fan of chilling horror-mysteries this is shaping up to be a fun series. #ncbd #comiccollecting
