Sweating the small stuff - part of what I love about classic comics is all the clerical information and marginalia that was done by hand. I totally understand not wanting a cold slab of clean photostat text carelessly slapped onto an opening splash that I fretted over.

For a decade & a half, Marc Maron’s podcast has kept me company while I went about my workday. I was continually impressed with the insight & unique tack he plotted to connect & reveal his interviewees. In 2018, I got to do this poster for a show in PHX & hang with him a bit - he was great!

My cover is available to order - GET EM WHILE YOU CAN! Like, for reals, if you don't order yours, these tend to sell out fast and can be very hard to get after the initial shipping.

The AZ Cardinals logo is kinda terrible. Lemme know which one is these you’d want to see me expand into a modern branding system. And, in case you going to comment on how aggressive or gnarly the logo should be - maybe just go watch Goodfellas or Joker again you sophomoric bro!

There are runs of comics that I only look for when I’m doing a convention - it makes the shows fun for me as a collector & keeps them from becoming a strictly commercial endeavor. This past Heroes, I was finally able to complete my run of the PanderBros Comico run on Grendel

My grandfather (right) was 34 and a father of five when the US entered WWII. He joined the US Navy and piloted landing craft and manned an anti-aircraft gun in the Pacific. It wasn’t until yesterday that I saw the stark age contrast between him and his much younger (possibly teenage) shipmates.

Very little effort has been put in to obfuscating the underlying intentions of the ruling party, but the manner in which they are currently mocking their resistance is bald-faced and bold beyond contempt! Please, somebody explain this away or show me how I'm over-reacting.

In the first version, I cartooned my way into undermining the depth I had created with the environment. It’s not “bad” per se, but was just incongruent enough to drive me crazy - so I patched and fixed it. I am much happier with this result.

No one can experience the narrative, themes, or ethos of your work if they don’t first pick it up and open it. All aspects of your marketing (including your cover) should beg for further investigation. Once that attention is captured, THEN you create emotional engagement.

SWEATIN THE SMALL STUFF: spent a good bit of time on a background that 70% of will be obscured by figures when finished - still, I love the look of this empty room and the reality it implies.

The bold simplicity of Ross' shield while maintaining legibility. The Fleischer palette and upward trajectory of the letterform's spine convey hope more clearly. I'm sure y'all have some thoughts, though.

This logo always makes me VISCERALLY ANGRY! Here's a few different approaches, none of which are THEE answer, but ALL or which are logos of a place I would rather charge with the care of my monies. I wish I had the time to the 2-hour video that this atrocity deservers.
