Hello MAGFest, my old friend. I came to visit you again. Cue the Colossus Roar, Danny DeVito memes, and maracas that haunt the halls. This should be fun!

First subway/public sketch of 2026 on the Brooklyn bound A train last night. A curious onlooker who sat next to me made my day by saying I get an A+. 😊 #art #watercolor #urbansketch

@zohrankmamdani.bsky.social inspired hope as our 112th mayor. @advocate.nyc.gov gave a powerful speech that moved me to tears as I empathized with him. "Little Black boy, you're worth it" is something everyone needs to hear such as myself who is currently between jobs as an Afro Latino man.

Can we talk about how cute @advocate.nyc.gov's younger daughter looks in that powder blue jacket? Getting major Michelle Obama vibes.

While Lower Manhattan is currently in block party mode waiting for Mayor Mamdani to be publicly inaugurated, Philly is living it up with their annual Mummers Parade. It looks fun and makes me miss the Halloween Parade! Watch here. www.youtube.com/live/veHrpnT...

It's officially January 1st on the East coast. Happy birthday to one of my favorite video game characters, Ichiban Kasuga from the Yakuza series (or Like A Dragon as it's known in the West even though it's interchangeable). @sega-west.bsky.social #yakuza #likeadragon #art #fanart

Before the celebrations on November 4, there were hours of anxious waiting as we watched the numbers come in. Here's a glimpse of the stress and joy alike. Thank you to every New Yorker who believed in this fight for working people. I am so proud to be sworn in as your Mayor. youtu.be/s_hR4A1_sew

Me hearing @miasato.bsky.social on @marketplace.org tonight talking about how influencers get people to buy stuff and the effect it has. Great segment!

I had my mom pick the reference photo for this piece. A lot of overlapping because it's a selfie meant drawing 2 different people plus me. I learned some good lessons though! Shoutout to @quachstar.bsky.social for the OG pic. Happy new year! #watercolorart #art #selfie #illustration

The last day of Eric Adams in power. I haven't been so excited to have a new mayor in ages! For the first time in my entire life in NYC, I'm going to my first inauguration ceremony tomorrow with @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social to be among fellow New Yorkers giving him a warm welcome.

11 months ago I was at my first MAGFest after having an opportunity to do so (If you're going to Super MAGFest, check out Rock Island y'all!) and had a blast! In *checks notes* nine days I'll be at my second MAGFest which is exciting but also wild that it's about to be 12 months. 😅

Posting this oldie here I drew a few years ago. It's from Resonance of Fate which I think has one of the best X-Mas levels in a game. It's currently on sale on Steam and PlayStation store FYI! #Christmasart #fanart store.steampowered.com/app/645730/R...

It's Christmas. I live in New York and I listen to jazz daily so I share with the world my favorite Christmas themed track from Street Fighter V called...Christmas In New York. 🎅 Happy holidays friends! 🎵 music.youtube.com/watch?v=_GTE...

Two months after buying it at NYCC, I'm finally reading This Place Kills Me which is on many best 2025 comics and graphic lists. I haven't even put together my list yet! 😅 But I love the limited color palette and use of digetic music. I'm rooting for Abby!🤞 #booksky #comicssky

I've been working on a holiday card all day for a friend who I'll mail it to. It's been fun! I took creative liberties on the back of the card to paint by feeling. #watercolorart #holidaycard #illustration #caturday

Between hitting the gym and anxiety over some pain on my right clavicle that I may have worsened at said gym, I'm having a hard time sleeping tonight. So many things on my mind even though I know things are going to work out. Anyway here's some pics from last night's event.

On the phone with a customer service agent: "I have here as your email your first and last name, Juh hone to contact you." As someone who's done outreach work, I get it but it was torturous to hear. 🙉

I turned on my PS5 for the first time in a few months and I was floored by how gorgeous this tarot art style portrait of all the big Resident Evil characters are! 🤌Hats off to the artist who did this! It has cool details that nod each character. I would buy a tarot card set.

Winning first place in bar trivia tonight after coming in 7th place last Thursday is redemption. But it also helped that we had 5 people and the round were questions we had in the past...which we did not get right. 😅

More inks for Absolute Wonder Woman #14!

@chiitan.love pencil sketch. I need to tighten up the pencils but it's coming along nicely before painting it.☺️

Saw this leaf caught on a fence with horrible Thanksgiving traffic in the background going to the GW earlier today.

Inked-only pages from Absolute Wonder Woman #14 - this was a dark one!

Alton Brown answering Thanksgiving questions live with his wife is such a great time. www.youtube.com/live/tzRE0Ir...

No contract, no coffee. We don’t believe in sitting on the sidelines. Join our Transition co-chair @linamkhan.bsky.social , First Deputy Mayor Dean Fuleihan & @sbworkersunited.org at the picket lines.

To Philly we go for PAX Unplugged. A bit of a 5 o'clock shadow going but it'll be fun! This will be year 7/21 PAX shows. Make that choo choo sound. 🚂

Pencil sketch of Mexican director Guillermo Del Toro and Cuban American actor Oscar Isaac. Based on a GQ YouTube thumbnail of the two in conversation with each other to promote Frankenstein. It'll be fun to ink + color it.

It's been a while since I posted art. Here's the one and only Jon Stewart from @thedailyshow.com.

A sneak peek at the cover of next week’s issue, which celebrates Zohran Mamdani’s historic win. #NewYorkerCovers https://newyorkermag.visitlink.me/451hFM

That was easy! I had to wait a full year to vote on Halloween, one of my favorite holidays to get this sticker. And to be honest, I wouldn't have it any other way! 😁 Off to the rest of my day which includes performing in my 9th Village Halloween Parade. 🎃 Happy Halloween! Please vote.

NYCC 2025 pickups. It's a pretty solid haul if I do say so myself! @abramscomicarts.bsky.social, stumbled upon @patrickhorvath.bsky.social, @tomking.bsky.social for Helen of Windhorn, This Place Kills Me by @nicolegoux.bsky.social and Mariko Tamaki, @thekylestarks.bsky.social for hobos, and 🏴‍☠️

Another year, another New York Comic Con going 14 years strong. It's still wild that I've been doing as long as my oldest niece has been alive. I usually buy exclusives and love hitting up Artist Alley and catch up with friends.

I saw the Brazilian Muralist, Kobra the other day working on a mural outside the Eden Gallery on 52nd and 5th. What an absolute legend! His documentary was damn good. He famously said he would never do a portrait of himself.

I don't really care about the English VA (the bits that I've heard are fine). But all I wanted was Okinawa in HD. Please let the combat be good and hard (I doubt that) since it's in the Dragon Engine. That's all this diehard Yakuza fan wants. 🤞Mine getting a glow up DLC is great!

Observations in the subway: Far too many dudes have moustaches. They're totally in thanks to the likes of Timothy Chalamet and Donald Glover. I've thought about trying one out on my face for a few days. But not Ned Flanders or Ron Swanson thick. 🤔 I need to draw these dudes.

The PlayStation turned 30. It's wild that this thing sitting in my closet is that old! I remember getting the PSX as a joint Christmas gift from my mom and uncle from my dad's side for my brothers. I don't know if those memory cards even work anymore! 😅

I drew myself along with some con friends the other day while feeling nostalgic for Otakon this weekend in a blank two page spread in my most recent journal. I was inspired by Emil Ferris's work in My Favorite Things Is Monsters. #ballpointpenart #notebookart

This is probably the most elaborate post-it note sketch I've done so far! Bengal cats are very expressive. This one is no exception. Gotta love them!

PAX West FOMO got me down from choosing not to go for the first time in 2 years. So here I am at Citi Field watching the Mets (I'm more of Yankees fan by proxy. But Citi Field is a more colorful stadium) play against the Marlins. I'm also the only person decked out in PAX stuff. 😉

The last two days at #animenyc including my homeboy, Quachstar doing his thing shooting cosplayers. 😉 I'll give his IG a plug if you're at the con this weekend cosplaying. It's been fun! Been doing some shopping and working. shorturl.at/JTxng

The odd thing about being in a park surrounded by mostly groups of men (and a few women) playing chess and dominos while they drink beer is noticing that the leaves are turning yellow, an early sign of fall.

Back in the gym today after being out of town last week. Bicep and chest day. I'm feeling good today and finally started adding content to my portfolio website that I've had for a few months unpublished. Being out of town I was inspired to light a fire on my ass.

Nightwing and Wolverine. DC and Marvel. Yes. This is really happening. So excited to write this meeting between the two heroes I’ve written the most for the big two. And drawn by my brother in comics, @brunoredondo.bsky.social!

Drew a Godzilla Kaiju-esque figure because why not? It reminded me of my friend, Brittany who is a huge Godzilla/kaiju fan so I'm sure she'll get a kick out of it. 😁 #kaijuart #art #illustration

Yesterday while in DC and today back home in NC pigeons have blessed me. None of them have pooped on me though! 😅

Saturday at Otakon? Saturday at Otakon. It is quite crowded but it's a good problem to have being part of the magic to make happen! 😉 #otakon2025

Today is a fun day being a co-department head of Volunteer Support at Otakon. Many months of planning lead to today. If you're at #otakon2025 today, please come out to Apple Carnegie Lawn for Matsuri starting at 4pm. It'll be fun!

Registration will be open during the following hours: Thursday (pre-reg only): 3pm - 10pm Satellite locations at the Marriot and Westin 3pm - 8pm (satellite locations open on Thursday only) Friday 8am - 10pm Saturday 8am - 10pm Sunday 8am - 12pm

The US Botanic Garden was dope. It's too bad the Corpse Flower bloomed yesterday as there wasn't a stench today when I was there. Oh well. It was time well spent there! I got to smell stuff which is always nice.
