Last weekend, my partner and I went to a large flea market in southwest Ohio. I brought my 35mm camera and a roll of black and white film. Here are the best photos.

Portraits of two jazz giants...Thelonious Monk and Vince Guaraldi.

Secret comic project. Should be in print by Christmas.

A sketchbook portrait of the great Ronnie James Dio from a few years back. Reposted for no other reason than Dio is awesome.

Machine Messiah II: Ecce Machina (20 x 16 inches, India ink and ink on watercolor paper). This one is a bit older but still part of the Machine Messiah series.

Drawings of the American Transcendentalists Henry David Thoreau and Ralph Waldo Emerson, from a few years ago.

Happy birthday Herman Melville!!!

Machine Messiah III: Emerald Redeemer 12x18 inches acrylic ink and ink on watercolor paper

Work in progress. Tentatively titled "Machine Messiah III: Emerald Redeemer."

New piece in the Planetary Folklore series, titled "Flame Gate." 12x18 inches, acrylic ink on watercolor paper.

I should probably post something, so here's the first page of a still unfinished comic called "You Don't Have To Do This." It's about a reluctant paladin who is increasingly uncomfortable with the idea of using violence to solve problems. I'll finish it someday.

Friends, join me in this celebration. For most of June and July, I was on antibiotics. I am finally off of them, and cured, and I am ready to enjoy the first beer I've had in a long time. This is a Sundowner from the excellent Eudora Brewing Co. in Kettering, Ohio.

1 of 2 A sailor wandering London during a World War II air-raid finds a newborn baby in the debris. He takes refuge with the child in an empty church, where it amazes him by levitating and speaking. A dialogue follows between the child, fresh from eternity, and the man mired in the temporal world.

Sometimes I like to refer to a meatball sub as a "seatball mub."

This comic is not related to my trauma but it is something I'm proud of, and perhaps a good way for me to reintroduce my comics to social media. This is a comic adaptation of a poem by Mervyn Peake titled "Simple, Seldom and Sad."

Found this tiny painting of Superman I did in 2009. I still kind of love it.

Here's a pic of a large piece in progress. Will tentatively be titled "Flame Gate."

The Oniscidae, better known as woodlice, are a subgroup of isopod crustaceans whose role is to remove harmful heavy metals from the earth, such as mercury, cadmium, and lead. They help cleanse the soil and groundwater, reaffirming the wisdom of nature. Do not harm them or spray pesticides!

Today, for "Because You Demanded It," I reread "All Star Superman" issue 6...the funeral of Pa Kent. Then I cried like a baby. Why do some of the best and truest stories hurt so much?

Self affirmation from Mephisto.

Me and @ionedammit.bsky.social are at the planetarium for a Daft Punk laser show. First time either one of us has seen anything like this in decades! We got the idea from an episode of Bob's Burgers!

Happy 1st birthday Moo Deng!

A few photos from the opening of The Gun Show at Dutoit Gallery, a show that I was honored to have a piece in. It was good to get out and see people.

I'm pourin' gravy all on your brains.

I feel like Grant Morrison and Frank Quitely really get what makes Superman so wondrous and, literally, awesome.

I start my journey with Wellbutrin tomorrow. 100mg once a day for two weeks, then twice a day from that point. Wish me luck. I need some help with this depression and anxiety.

New piece titled "Moss Sphere." 11x11 inches, acrylic ink on watercolor paper.

New drawing titled "Island in the Sky." 12x18 inches, acrylic ink on watercolor paper.

If you're near Dayton, Ohio this Friday, July 11, join me and other talented artists for the opening of "Welcome to the Gun Show" at the Dutoit Gallery (Front Street, Building 100, 3rd floor). The show is a protest against gun violence and gun culture, and proceeds will benefit Sandy Hook Promise.

Dried ink in my paint tray.

@ionedammit.bsky.social has decided to inventory every single book we own, using an app. This seems daunting.

It was a weird 4th of July. As the day wore on, neither Ione nor I could fully avoid the devastating political news. Evening fell and we could hear folks in our neighborhood getting together in backyards and shooting off fireworks. Continued...

This may be a pointless rant, but I am so thoroughly fed up with AI content that it is making me sick and may drive me offline forever.

I'm proud to share this new drawing, titled "Insect Gate," which is inspired by the iridescent shells of beetles that I studied as a child. 12x18 inches, ink on paper.

Art has long been a kind of therapy for me. Sometimes it can be difficult to get physically comfortable enough to work on art for long periods of time, but I'm grateful that I can. Here's a drawing in progress, titled "Insect Gate." Inspired by the iridescent shells of beetles that I saw as a child.

I wanted to leave you with some beauty and some hope today. This is a recently completed 12x18 inch drawing titled "Earth Gate." It's about colors and shapes, the earth and what grows, and all the life that carries on outside our petty politics and struggles. Cont'd...

This ad had a young Matt Kish feeling very stoked.

Okay, I love the sun and I love the summer but a near 100 degree heat index and the unrelenting glare of the sun on the longest days is a little rough even on me.

An enjoyable text thread with good friends.

Tom Colichio does not approve.

Sketchbook drawing of Firestorm the Nuclear Man. Puffy sleeves or GTFO.

In 2003, Randy Macho Man Savage released a hip hop album and it's surprisingly not terrible.

The end of an era. I've been there since the beginning, so I'm experiencing a lot of emotions. Thank you sincerely, Michel. Very much looking forward to whatever you do next!

Honored to have this painting of mine, titled "It Takes All Of Us," accepted into the July 2025 group show "Wecome to the Gun Show" at the Dutoit Gallery in Dayton. The show presents art focusing on the horrors of gun violence, the dangers of gun culture, and the need for change.

I miss some of you here on Bluesky so I think I'll give it another try.

My credo, heading into my 56th year.
