My Wolverine art for Marvel licensing. I'm guessing from around 2006.

After a long hiatus, my redesigned art site is online. It's far from complete. At the moment there are art galleries for my Books & Games covers, my Marvel art, and some GI Joe work. Future updates will include more GI Joe, Transformers, Power Rangers, and much more. www.scottjohnsonart.com

I finally finished Season 2 of Born Again. Including the original 2015 series, Daredevil has been the most consistently good Marvel Television series produced. In total, 5 seasons of street level vigilante storytelling at it's best.

That time Henry Golding revealed my Snake Eyes artwork on a Hasbro Pulse Fanstream.

Check out the new episode of The Full Force (Redacted), where the host, Chris, asks about my career going back to my Tabletop RPG work in the 90s, to my Marvel merchandise art in the 2000s, to my latest GI Joe work for Hasbro. Thanks to Chris for a great conversation! www.youtube.com/watch?v=a_kq...

Never saw this one before. A Zartan T-shirt featuring my artwork. I knew a lot of my art was used on the GI Joe website but I didn't know they were using it for licensed merch, too.

I'm working on rebuilding my website from the ground up. It will include a massive art gallery of my work from the past 25 years. The most painstaking part so far has been tracking down images of specific Hasbro action figures that I've done art for in the last decade.

45 hours to go! One stretch goal unlocked and closing in on our second one! Plenty of signed bookplates, sketch cards, and sketches left! Grab a guitar, sharpen a stake, and kill some vampires with @doncardenasart.bsky.social and me!

“Rich person quit her 400k a year job after saving 1.5 million. Here are her tips!” Step one: make…400…thousand a…year.

My colors over Dale Keown pencils, from around 2016, I think. I was a huge fan of Keown's work going back to his Aircel Comics days, so this was a treat for me to work on.

Wonder Man was always a C-list Avenger for me. I have no nostalgic feelings for the character. But I'm two episodes into the series and so far it's REALLY GOOD!

1/7 I know this is going to sound bizarre to most people, because they'll read this and think I'm not serious. But lately I've been going through a lot of artwork I did for Marvel 10-15 years ago and... I AM SO MUCH BETTER AS AN ARTIST NOW THAN I WAS BACK THEN.

RIP Sal Buscema. I never had the honor of meeting him, but he was one of the artists that drew my childhood.

Sal Buscema, a comic artist best known for legendary runs on Marvel's Incredible Hulk and Spectacular Spider-Man, reportedly passed away last Friday, just short of his 90th birthday.

Athena Voltaire returns to Kickstarter next month!

I'm guessing this is 2004-ish at Wizard World Chicago. I don't know who talked me into it, but I'm sure Jason Millet's chin was fine afterwards.

Fable looks like it's going to be a hell of a lot of fun.

Me: "This figure looks off. I better shrink that arm. Now the other arm is too big. Shorten that one too. Now the shoulders are too wide. Now the legs are too long. Shrink them too. Yes! PERFECT!" At this point I realize I could've had the same result by simply enlarging the head in the first place.

The final Calvin and Hobbes, which appeared in papers 30 years ago today.

When you vacation in the Bahamas, you can find bootleg Spider-Man merch! Also, Spiderman merch. That one is not my artwork.

If you see this, post a comics cover you love.

The handmade, human qualities of your work are more valuable than they've ever been. Don't doubt that for a second.

When your old Uzi water gun is outdated for reference poses, so you have to improvise something more AR-15ish.

Me: "I need to maintain my calorie deficit and adhere to my fasting hours so my body stays in ketosis." Also Me: "Ooh, I wonder what this Oreo cookie would be like dipped in peanut butter."

That's a really impressive twist kick.

Today I found out that I've been pronouncing "Melniboné" wrong my entire life. I guess I just settled on a pronunciation when I was like, 12, and never questioned myself.

Me: "Hey! This is looking really good!" Me: Image> Image Rotation> Flip Canvas Me:

I spend way too much time drawing accurate shoelaces on characters, knowing full well no one looking at the art will appreciate it.

Just bought my second GI Joe figure with my art on the package. It’s officially a collection. It will go on the shelf with my 20 year old box of Spider-Man mac & cheese that I’ve never opened.

Me, looking at a random old Marvel Photoshop file that I created 20 years ago: "Ugh. Sloppy. I should fix that arm. Right Now."

Where’s my Wacom stylus? WHICH ONE OF YOU STOLE MY WACO- Oh, here it is. Carry on.

This popped up in my feed. I don’t know. My wife and I just had our first baby, I was getting 3 hours of sleep each night, and every day felt like I had no idea what I was doing. I do miss those days, though. 😄

Looking at portfolios to find some covers for the next few months. Not going well. So much slop. When I finally manage to avoid it, everything is so dark and shadowy. Color and light and detail appear to be gone from the world. (I may need to start doing this in shorter bursts.)

For The Amazing Spider-Man movie, Marvel gave me jpegs of 3D models to use as a starting point for The Lizard. I then sourced reptile skin textures from various Google searches. Using the jpeg poses as kind of an underpainting, I Photoshopped the hell out of each one until reaching the final image.

Mail Call. I have a small display of Marvel merch in the studio, but this is the first GI Joe to be added to the collection.

Rando Saturday Night Post: My cover art for the Rifts: Ultimate Edition Main Rulebook was done in 2005. Twenty years and still in print. It was also the last thing I did for Palladium Books before signing an exclusive deal with Marvel.

Microsoft is remaking the original Halo in Unreal Engine, and it will be available on Playstation. www.youtube.com/watch?v=efTh...

It looks like the old GI Joe website has been taken down and the URL just redirects to Hasbro now. I did a lot of character art for that site. Here's the only images that I worked on that remain on the current Hasbro site.

I was asked to make a list for GI Joe fans interested in which Classified Series figures have my illustration work on the package. Here's the full list so far.
