I’m reading #somethingiskillingthechildren AND HOLYFUCK ITS SO GOOD. So I was psyched when Jerry said that #ericaslaughter was in #battleofthesketches . All of my #bots originals are up in my store(link in bio) @epicprops.bsky.social @andymacdeez @glennurieta @thebernardchang @seanchenart

Recent Ken things: 1. Finishing up the next #bots drawing 2-3. Photos from the CIAF @fridaysdope The Fort event by @photobro1 4. Lola knows

Here lies SPIDER-MAN, slain by THE HUNTER Man I still love this creepy as fuck story, so this was immediately what I thought to draw when #kraven came up for this week’s #battleofthesketches . Original(and last week’s Batman) are available in my store(link in bio)

Fun times with the doggo pals this weekend include chompa chompa time on the couch, Lily is so fast(when I try to pet the very good boy Ben), and Lily plays the drums.

ABSOLUTE BATMAN - The Return of #battleofthesketches kicks off with @epicprops.bsky.social @glennurieta.bsky.social @kenknudtsen.bsky.social and others! Original 11"x17" Art available via request through: @comic_art_house - www.comicarthouse.com/ArtistGaller...

Great news, #battleofthesketches is back with @epicprops @andymacdeez @glennurieta @thebernardchang @seanchenart & everyone in the #bots gang! Also, how the fuck are you gonna make #batman a Northeastern emo with runny mascara eyes and NOT have the soundtrack start and end with My Chemical Romance?!

Seeing all of the work @chdwckart did for his 100 day challenge as he went day by day was very cool, seeing it all in one place at @cabarrusartscouncil yesterday was both impressive and imposing. The show is up until October 4 and I can’t recommend it highly enough.

And now you are caught up with Ken updates for today as I’m taking the break in between new thing issues for some quality Jennifer time, doggo pals, and sawlt.

Great news! Since I am #battledamagedken today I will upload the first 5 pages of the Cypress Hill comic I did for Z2 to my store(kenknudtsen.bigcartel.com) and then maybe just sit still in front of a fan and zone out to some Underworld. #cypresshill #blacksunday #originalart #z2

Some inks in progress from early this week as I have now completed issue 2 of the new thing and now get to fucking find out why my apartment’s RM thinks I vacated my apartment last month. Spoiler alert: I did not. @CHAPOTRAPHOUSE @ByYourLogic @BadEggPub

Opening night for @chromatic.roots (ticket link in their bio) was fucking amazing. Touch all the things. Sit down and look up. If you think something might be a secret door you need to open it. And walk through it in just your socks.

Recent pencil panels I liked drawing for the new thing as #productiveken sips some tea and listens to The Knux.

Great news: my doggo pals Lily and Ben that I got to hang out with this weekend. Not great news: once again, @reedpop denied me(and several other professional artists friends) the opportunity to buy an artist alley table for NYCC….

It’s “get ready for walking around at Heroes Con on Saturday and also @candlebox tunes” o’clock for studio Ken.

Recent fun things for Ken

Thumbnails were approved so now it’s time to start pencils for issue 2 of the new thing.

Weekend tunes for Ken as it’s time to stop drawing and resume tasty beveraging with @blahblahchoi and @therealchalice and doggo pals.

Doggo pals the other day as we* had fun biting on things and rolling around on the ground outside. *I am not permitted to do either of these activities but I am super happy for Lily and Ben because they are the bestest girl and boy.

Here’s a bite from an ok #sawlt bagel and my review of #theballerina : ONE STAR AND GO FUCK YOURSELF @lionsgate . While this was a pretty ok(but at times almost instantly forgettable) action movie, it is unforgivable that they CGIed Lance Reddick in multiple scenes(I booed at the screen the first…

Reverse process for an author’s bio headshot commission. I was asked to do “dark and moody”, and it was fun to play in different stages like this as I kept listening to some ol timey Queensryche.

Tonight’s lesson for Illustration 101 at @artsplus.clt

Peter David will always be a special kind of legend in my mind. He took characters that I already loved(Aquaman, everyone in X-Factor, Spidey) and made me love them more. He created and breathed life into new favorites(Spidey 2099, Captain Marvel, Hulk). And he always seemed to have fans around..

Tonight’s Illustration 101 lesson at @artsplus.clt

Inked parts of the new thing as I got the go ahead to start on the next chapter.

Tonight’s lesson for Illustration 101 at @artsplus.clt

Some cool shots of drawings that I’ve been working on for @rada.clt the last couple of months. These have been a lot of fun to do, and definitely check out the amazing food here.

Tonight’s lesson for the second Illustration 101 class for @artsplus.clt as @haimtheband ‘s Lost Track is on repeat in the studio

Yesterday was a great day of drawing things, talking with @walter.simonson.5 about drawing things, and enjoying tasty beverages and music and helmets and then it was after midnight.

Great news! I’ll have copies of The Left-Hand Path 2nd printing(w: @scott.bryan.wilson , art: me!) for #cltedgefest2025 as part of @cltshout with the other vendors in First Ward Park on Saturday 11-4. It’s a sci fi horror comic that I’m really psyched to show more people

I’m in a good zone when my comics drawing starts to feel like a location drawing. Also great news I’ll be vending this year at #cltedgefest2025 for @cltshout this Saturday 11-4. I’ll have comics, prints, originals, and would be receptive to tasty beverages.

Wednesday doggo pals for Ken as it’s time to start pencils on the new thing

Today has been a day of recovery and The Classics for battle damaged studio Ken

A hearty breakfast of baconeggandcheese on a sawlt bagel to get ready for a full day at @thevapacenter of studio sale 1-5(here’s a helpful map), @illtacmc video shoot, and new art opening for @therealchalice at @tiyacanielart_adornment . And perhaps tasty beverages.

Great news! I’ll have a bunch of 13x19 art prints for $20(they’re usually $30) for my studio sale on Saturday 1-5 at @thevapacenter as we talk about how unfun to watch the new DD show is. #bobafett #empirestrikesback #johnwick #keanureeves #artprint #figuredrawing #stpatrickscathedral #nyc
