Another productive day at Aqus Cafe “Shut Up And Write” 🥰 #shutupandwrite #creative #productive #fracturedangels #indiecreator

I started panel 1 of page one of the “Fractured Angels” graphic novel. Yay me! Chicago skyline. So difficult. #chicago #skyline #pencils #inks #graphicnovel

Welp last Wednesday I passed out a few times and started talking gibberish at a game night. I was rushed to the hospital here in Petaluma, California, Luckily it all turned out alright and I’m home now. They think I had really low blood pressure from being dehydrated. 🥰

Happy Birthday Wildling!🥰❤️❤️❤️

I did this drawing yesterday for Jason Dubes live stream while sitting in the Dyalisis chair. It took me like an hour of speed drawing. It was a lot of fun though. I introduce you to Wendy Sheen Shaner’s “Luna the Dragon”. 😊 #luna #dyalisis #speeddraw #dragon #pencil

I’m finally penciling “Fractured Angels”. Page one has so many buildings. Ugghhhh!!!!😜 #drawing #art #pageone #buildings #chicago #pencils #graphicnovel

Nowhere to hide! Page 16 “Fractured Angels” layouts. Some thought running inside an Italian restaurant would give them some grace. They were wrong. 😑 #giantbugs #restaurant #bugs #insect #apocalipse #survive #pencil #prn #graphicnovel #alberto311 #fracturedangel

That awkward moment when your gift wasn’t received as you expected that it would go. “Fractured Angels: Insectoid” page 5 layout. 🥰 #insectoid #insects #whiteroses #chicago #douchebag #layouts #pencils #pen #graphicnovel #fracturedangel

Some progress shots of my variant cover for Space Pop Cats #1 from Stelar 9 Studios. My early thumbnails for any project are so embarrassing. Happy with the final result tho. ✌🏽 #digitalart #art #indiecomics #comics #comicart #makecomics #comicbooks #illustration #conceptart
