Just got back from vacation and am heading to #sdcc on Wednesday, so any orders from my webstore will take a few weeks to get sent out. But any order that takes more than 2 weeks to fill usually gets a free zombie portrait. Place an order and take a chance! . . #zombies #prints #originalart

Doing what I do nearly every Saturday night, drawing and painting while watching #svengoolie . #belalugosi #vampire #penandink #originalart

Happy Pride Month

Thanks to Primus for letting me design their silk-screened poster for tonight's show! I'll be there in the audience. And thanks to EndHymns for their amazing work and talking me through the process. Posters available at the show or my web store. . . . #sessanta #primus #concertposter

Anyone want to see me in San Diego this year? I have a badge but no booth, so I'm looking for options. Maybe a booth guest for a few different people and moving about from day to day. I'm not setting up a commission list yet, but I'm curious what the interest is. Let me know!

All of a sudden, I hate the page I'm working on, ready to tear it up! Instead, I scan it, print bluelines, and try again. . . #comicart #illustration #secretproject

May the 4th be with you.... Trading card art from a long time ago.... . . . #starwars #maythe4thbewithyou #yoda #painting
