Another piece I put together in early December. Sold before the MICExpo, so this the first time I've shared the work. I'm pretty happy with those pigeons. Ink, marker, and gouache on toned tan paper. 5.5" x 8.5"

Here's some close-up shots of this new piece. I'm calling it "Dog Walker". 5.5" x 8.5" ink, marker, and gouache on toned tan paper.

Thank you so much to all the hard work put in for @massmice.bsky.social . It was such an amazing weekend. I had so much fun, met so many wonderful people and was reminded once again what an amazing comics community we have here in Boston! I feel lucky to be a part of it!!!

New work! Squeezed in some time this week to produce a few new original pieces to bring with me to MICE this weekend. These bots are on 5.5" x 8.5" ink, marker, and gouache on toned tan paper.

Weeeee! MICE is here, MICE is here! This weekend Dec, 6+7 (cough). At Boston University Fuller Building. I hope you will come by and say hello. Table 83B! And if you are there on Saturday I'm taking part in the Carousel Comics Performance event. 1pm.

The American electorate tonight

While we’re at it: from my 2018 comics essay “About Face,” laying out the normalization of fascist presence via pop culture & consumer goods. It’s also the central chapter of SAVE IT FOR LATER. popula.com/2019/02/24/a...

Science Comics: Computers comes out today!!! I am so excited that this book is finally out there in the real world! It's been a long journey, and I want to give a shout out to Perry and Penelope, what a fun team! And thanks for First Second for believing in this book! Get your copy today!

One of the great joys I had working on this book was the chance to really tap into my cartoony side. All the goofy, silly, ridiculous stuff was there in the script and Perry and Penelope really let me go wild! Aside from just teaching, I think this book is really funny! Computers is out TOMORROW!!!

This is what democracy looks like. #NoKings

Amazing day in Boston! #nokings

Hey, I finished this mural! I actually finished it about 2 weeks ago, but I've been so busy I hadn't had the time to post about it. It's going to be installed sometime later this year at Level99 in Natick, MA. #mural #painting #robots #scifiart #traditionalart

Made big progress on this mural these week. Hoping to finish it by next week! Thanks to Level99 for the opportunity to work this big!

Finally had the chance to finish off this gouache painting that I started a few weeks back. I'm pretty pleased with it! #painting #gouache #traditionalart #scifi #scifiart #robot #bird

Another round of marker tests. I got kinda garish with the colors, but I like 'em anyway! #drawing #penandink #marker #copic #scifiart #spaceship #conceptart

I recently had the pleasure of digging back into marker drawing. I've got to get my chops back up for a project (can't talk about it yet!). Here are the first three practice drawings I did. #marker #drawing #penandink #scifi #copic #spaceship #doodle #artpractice

Finished this painting over the weekend. Robot and Desert Wren. Goauche on paper, 9" x 12" #traditionalmedia #painting #robot #scifiart #robotart #bird #wren #birdart #desert

Another batch of robot doodles. Which one should I turn into a gouache painting? #drawing #sketchbook #doodle #robot #scifiart #comicsart #comicsartist #conceptart

New gouache painting. With birds! I'm trying to do more without the linework and just letting the colors sit next to each other. #painting #gouache #traditionalmedia #scifiart #sparrow #birdart

Another batch of freestyle robot sketches! #drawing #sketchbook #freestyle #robot #scifi #scifiart #characterdesign

From the sketchbook, some random robots... drawn while waiting for a doctors appointment.

It's finished!!! This one was quite the challenge, but I'm very pleased as to how it's turned out! Thanks again to @golevel99 for the unique opportunity to paint this pillar! The Tyson's Corner, VA opening late summer early fall. Be sure to check it out! #painting #mural #muralart

Forgot to document yesterday, but I made a lot of progress these past few days. Hopefully just a couple more to finish. Level99 - Tyson's Corner. #mural #muralart #painting

And here comes the next one. It doesn't look like much yet, and it's pretty much impossible to document. But here's a peak! Level99, Tyson's Corner #painting #mural #muralart

And she's finished! Not bad for 3 days labor. I think this might be my favorite thing I've ever painted. Thank you Level99 for the opportunity! Be sure to visit in late summer/ early fall if you are anywhere near Tyson's Corner, VA! Now on to the next one! #painting #mural #cyborg #scifiart

Day 2 of mural painting now in the past! Probably one more day to polish this one off. @level99 Tyson's Corner Install. #painting #mural #scifiart

Day 1 painting session complete at Tyson's Corner @level99 Very happy at my progress today, can you see it yet?

Saturday nite!

About the opportunity cost of the resources spent worrying about the next Trump’s move, in a context of limited political bandwith.

But... we're really stuck this time. And without the help of the arts community, we're not going to make it. Your shares and support are greatly appreciated. www.gofundme.com/f/help-field...

Why not take "Drawing for Comics and Cartoons" this summer at the Eliot School? 8 weeks of cartooning goodness in an open and supportive classroom environment! Good for beginners and those with some experience, anyone with a desire to learn more. Starts June 4th! eliotschool.org/classes/draw...

One of the things I'm always telling my students when starting a new comics project is to draw your characters over and over in the medium they will appear in. Fill up page after page in your setchbook. You learn who they are and learn how to show them quickly with repetition and practice.

This is where society is headed when empathy is a "sin." And I'm not being hyperbolic. They WANT this!
