A lot of people think the sole reason to boycott a company is to manipulate it to change. While that's valid, it's okay to not support a company because you dislike them while knowing that your boycott probably won't affect their finances. I'm not doing it to hurt them, it's for my own integrity.

My poster for the official JAWS 50th Anniversary art show~The exhibit opens tonight at Art Alliance of Monmouth County in Red Bank, NJ 🦈

My buddy’s kickstarter is live! John is wonderful and he always delivers the goods. Give it a look.

Here’s a process video for my God Of War fan art. Atreus changes the most; I realized he was holding the bow incorrectly (based on how the character uses it.) the world serpent scales were tough too.

I’ve reached a point in God Of War where my viking son is being a real jerk to everybody. I didn’t know this would be a tween-parenting simulator. It’s amazing. Here’s some fan art by me :)

Legend has it that "Sleepy Hollow" costume designer, Colleen Atwood was unable to find existing fabric with the right striped pattern she envisioned for this incredible dress (worn by the incomparable Christina Ricci as Katrina Van Tassel), so she created the stripes on white fabric BY HAND.

P.S. If you pick up the BEASTS OF BURDEN OMNIBUS you can shelve it next to the NERD INFERNO OMNIBUS next year. That's 1200 pages of sublime and ridiculous comics (the sublime c/o of @thejillthompson.bsky.social @benjamindewey.bsky.social and others). Ridiculous c/o me. More info tinyurl.com/mpkje3tj

As usual I am 7-10 years behind with videogames and have just now discovered “God Of War” Holy shit. I thought it was just a game about an angry guy with an axe (it is) but it’s also about fathers and sons learning to trust each other while swimming in an ocean of grief. I’m astounded.

This probably isn't a huge revelation for some of you but Alice In Chains "Rainier Fog" is rad from start to finish. I've loved this band for 30+ years. Gives me hope that, despite the tragic loss of their legendary first frontman, they've maintained a sonic through-line that still feels familiar.

Them: So what have y'all been up to? Me: Haha, you know. The usual. The Usual:

My brother @thegabrielfischer.bsky.social works at a guitar store (Five Star Guitars) which is dangerous because he will put stuff in my hands that I didn't know I wanted, that is beyond my price range, and I'm stuck mooning over it thereafter. I'm not a huge Steve Vai guy but this thing rules:

Take the Fall is an autobiographical comic book about artist Tess Fowler Gutierrez. What happens when you find yourself trapped in your body with blooming cancer tumors and ghosts from the past who want you dead? You make a comic about it. tessfowlerart.bigcartel.com/product/take...

Hope y'all like weird comics! www.kickstarter.com/projects/shi...

My dear friend John is making cool comics so I hope you will go and check it out. His influence is a huge reason that I am a working pro today.

My greatest teacher and hero:

considering: does literally everything about comics boil down to contrast maybe

Today is B.B.King's 100th birthday. I love everything about his playing and singing. As a teenager I had the privilege of seeing him play many times. I read (at least) three biographies and wore out more than one copy of "Live At Cook County Jail." I drew this a few years back as part of a series:

"Books break the shackles of time, proof that humans can work magic." - Carl Sagan, Cosmos

EVERYONE STOP cheese wheel of cheeses

Lindsey and I purchased the Guardians Of The Galaxy trilogy on Blu-ray to watch while we were sick. That third one hits me like a truck every time but I love them all so I drew a Rocket :)

スーパーマリオブラザーズ✨

Tonight’s digital read, Silver Surfer #16 (1970) Mephisto!

I love making comics so much. I love figuring out the pacing, how much to show vs tell, composing each panel and the page as a whole, clever little sound effects or lettering touches, finding ways to streamline the process without compromising quality. ☺️ Ideal story-telling medium if you ask me.

BOOM! Studios is HIRING!!! We're looking for a talented, organized, and detail-oriented Assistant Editor with 1-2 years in editorial or a similar field! You will most likely be working directly with me on a variety of comic titles. Please visit the link to apply! bit.ly/42ooXLq #comicjobs

Steve is a good mentor for many reasons. Here's another clear example: he show us all how to set up a harmonious work environment where one can still really bear down.

I guess this has probably already gone viral somewhere but I am simply dying at this picture of a bear that looks like it hired a photographer to do a glamour shoot

He Be Hootin’

Working on a flowchart poster for picking an electric guitar. Problems that stumped me for a while were: where to start, avoiding overlaps and just how many slight variations there are. I’m at a rough stage but I think it works. Laying it out at all is a huge challenge. Cool visuals come later.

2 days left on my Art Book Campaign. You can find it here! Zoop.gg/c/maxdunbar #dnd #fantasyart

Ugh. We all have covid. Today was the worst; there was a whole 4 hours where I was experiencing severe whole body aches and constant stomach discomfort. I couldn’t rest but I couldn’t stand. Luckily the baby seems to be doing the best out of all of us. Mask up, friends.

The whole family is sick; we all have the same cold. This sucks. I did get pizza for me and Lindsey so there’s a little silver lining this evening.

Great short video by TransLink explaining “the empty bus lane myth”

One of the great things about Portland is that sometimes you sit down in a diner and you look up and there’s framed early work by @benjamindewey.bsky.social right there on the wall.

I won’t be at Rose City this weekend, but I am taking commissions from home! Watercolors are the most popular, and start at $250. You can purchase through my site and select the exact options you want! jonathancase.net/store?catego...

Support independent journalism!

After talking to my friend @terryblas.bsky.social about his art school teaching experiences I have come to the conclusion that, at this point in my life, I could not engage with most students. I like helping but it seems like basic truths about freelance work would crush most of them. I’d seem mean.

This dress reflects the shrinking bulk in the back of dresses as popularity for large bustles faded. By the 1890s, bustles had pretty much disappeared, as they interfered with the active lifestyle of the "modern woman" of the era.

Damn, dude. I wish I lived in the same century as these folks:

That piece was the final one from the last time I opened up commissions back on the bad bird site. I really try not to let delays happen but that one got away from me so I upped the size & added color for free. I’m back to making my own ideas again; comics, posters and more all being made now :)

Bioshock commission completed. I’ve never played the games but I did ask my brother if this had the right elements and he assured me it does.

Bad times are not an excuse to go out and get ice cream. But they are a reason.

Here is my home made CD storage unit installed and displaying my collection in my workspace. Alphabetical order. I already love it!

My CD rack finished and ready to mount. It looks just like I imagined and I’m pleased that my plan didn’t take too long to pull off! It cost about 100 bucks all in and, after looking up premade solutions online, that is a sweet deal. No more accidental roll-overs destroying my music from now on.

A friend of mine offered to make me a CD rack for my home studio but after I accidentally rolled over a Robert Johnson disc I decided this couldn’t wait. Behold:

As Kurt Busiek once said (in kinder words): "Ideas are garbage. Everyone has a million ideas a day. The only thing of value is the ability to turn those ideas into something someone is willing to pay for."

My wife is wonderful. I told her how much I loved the art design in the Guardians game and she stealthily got me this concept art book. Even if you never play the game you should check this out. It’s full of brilliant iteration.

Here are the inks on mini poster number 32 for my Granada Sherlock Holmes (starring Jeremy Brett) series for the episode called “the creeping man” it was a haunting favorite of mine as a kid because I loved anything that was even slightly werewolf adjacent.

I will never get over how a handful of tech bros set billions of dollars on fire to build a plagiarism machine that doesn't work and will destroy human society when they could have used a fraction of that money to fund a new golden age of creativity and knowledge.
