We got our first piece of Showdown fan art by one of my favorite creators, and an artist I tell everyone I desperately want to work with again, the great Sid Kotian. @taddgalusha.bsky.social

SHOWDOWN by @davewielgosz.bsky.social & @taddgalusha.bsky.social starts off with a bang that'll grab you, dear reader. But just when you think it's shifting gears and winding down, you suddenly realize you're still caught in its thrall and it's merely pulling you in, deeper and deeper.

Welp…

Because I SUCK I didn't get a blurb to @davewielgosz.bsky.social in time for this but I read it, I LOVED it, and I urge people to pre-order. Inventive take and awesome premise, quiet in its intensity and left me eager for issue 2! And Dave, sorry I dropped the ball, man. :/

Cover process for issue 2 of “Showdown” with writer @davewielgosz.bsky.social

It’s been two years since starting “Panel Breaks” up here in Anchorage and it has grown into an amazing community of creators. The creativity and energy being brought to every session is so motivating I’m beyond stunned. Come to Anchorage and throw down some comic art.

Showdown #1 goes on FOC on 4/6/26. The amazing team at @ignitionpress.bsky.social made this flier to help get the word out @taddgalusha.bsky.social and I have made an awesome revenge tale that you will love. Share this with your comic stores, fellow readers and followers! Would mean the world to us!

cover process for #1 of my new series, “Showdown” just announced from @ignitionpress.bsky.social with writer @davewielgosz.bsky.social , and classmate @claytoncowles.bsky.social An intense neo-western set in a snowy small town of New England. Drops this May at your LCS.

Lettered by me! It took 17 years, but I'm FINALLY working with my old classmate @taddgalusha.bsky.social! And I get to work with @davewielgosz.bsky.social again, hell yeah!

A very special surprise showed up today at the studio! An original “Lieber” from a soon to be announced project that I might be working on. Beautifully inked with with exquisite brush work, it’s amazing to hold an original page from the legendary storyteller @stevelieberart.bsky.social

Artist Matt Baker (Dec. 10, 1921 - Aug. 11, 1959). Active in the Golden Age, he is most remembered for his amazing covers & beautiful women. Tragically, he died of a heart attack at the young age of 37. #BlackHistoryMonth

Final art for my Casey Jones #6 variants. Another huge shoutout to @davewielgosz.bsky.social and the @idwpublishing.com team for letting me contribute to such a great mini. That title placement is truly rad, I absolutely love this kind of fun stuff. Great way to kick off the year.

We got a Nintendo. Luckily I’m still so bad, There’s zero worry about getting too absorbed.

wanted to utilize the panel gutters with depth by working them into the dense forest the character is traversing. I don’t know it was necessarily successful, but i think it’s an interesting element that could be taken further.
