New Order, ink and mixed media. Apparently it’s Bernard Sumner’s birthday today as well. I’m posting art all month on m’patreon and talking about influences, my career, life, etc as I approach 50.

The Iron Giant small color sketch, ink and watercolor. This one did not photograph well on my scanner. That red sky does not exist on the original art. It's actually orange! The original will be for sale in my store.

My whole life, advocating war has been fed to me as “the adult position,” akin to drinking your coffee black or reading the business section of the newspaper. Let’s be very clear — war is the childish nonsense of impulsive destructive idiots playing baby-brained video games with real human lives.

Sagittarius takes aim. Art: me. I’m thinking of running another Horrorscope short story on the patreon since Funrama issue 10 is going to be such a laborious undertaking.

A quick Max Roach sketch I did today as part of my Countdown to Age 50 series on my patreon. There I talk about how drumming is like drawing. Ancient and necessary to life. Also I put this original in my online shop.

Sending everyone here wishes for a Happy New Year except for about 3-4 of you.

My wish for 2026 is that we all start to have honest discussions about the comic book industry

Next month I turn 50 and i’m not ashamed to say it. Also, I enter my 28th year as a full-time member of the American comic book industry, which I am slightly ashamed of. Not sure how much longer i’m allowed to stay, so if you need an artist in 2026 go ahead and let me know please thanks.

There’s only 3 things you can do in the comic book industry. Setting aside formats, genres, delivery,for a minute: 3 things. 1: Work for 7-8 publishers. 2: find a rich guy (one rich guy or small pub headed by rich guy) 3: self-publish (crowdfund, etc). That’s it. It’s not easy, good luck.

Last night i watched a movie i’ve never seen before. It was called Desperately Seeking Susan and it was about a girl that keeps hitting her head and forgetting who she is. Every time i looked up from my phone, she was hitting her head, maybe 10-15 times. A unique entry in the 80’s Amnesia oeuvre.
